If you tire easily of the overdone, overproduced contemporary blues " the garbage that sounds like plastic instruments being played in a tin box " and if youÂ’ve ever wondered why that stuff is even filed under "blues," than youÂ’re like Jimmie Lee Robinson.
To Jimmie Lee, the blues are more than just fast notes and wild guitar solos. They are about feelings deep and personal. They punch at emotions. With All My Life, his second APO Records release, Jimmie Lee is aiming for goose bumps and tears. And if youÂ’ve got appreciation for acoustic, front porch blues, youÂ’ll have a tough time escaping his spell. No doubt Jimmie Lee Robinson offers a delightful taste of traditional blues.
His work through the years with such stalwarts as Little Walter, HowlinÂ’ Wolf, Freddie King, Elmore James and Jimmy Reed have made their impressions on the man called "The Lonely Traveler" just as he has been credited with inspiring them. On All My Life youÂ’ll hear standby classics like a haunting, slowed-down version of Muddy WatersÂ’ "Forty Days and Forty Nights" with eerie harmonica accompaniment by Madison Slim. And Jimmie Lee even covers a non-blues favorite with "What a Wonderful World."
But All My Life is also packed with Jimmie Lee originals like the title track, which was once covered by John Mayall, where Jimmie Lee pleads with the woman of his dreams to return all the respect and love heÂ’s paid to her. That track is also a perfect showcase for the classic Jimmie Lee growling vocals and the spurs jangling from his boots as the only percussion.
Unlike his first APO release, Remember Me, an almost entirely-solo effort, Jimmie Lee is joined on most of the All My Life tracks by APO artist and noted-guitarist Jimmy D. Lane and journeyman harp player Madison Slim, whose knack for acoustic blues is highlighted on this release.
