Jimmy makes it look effortless. He plays that guitar like he's sipping a cup of coffee and reading the newspaper.

[@twangbarfly]

One of the tastiest blues guitarists I have ever heard in my life - magnficent !!!

[@Slartibartfast70]

I just discovered Jimmy, I've got a new guitar hero.

[@Longmiestr]

Loved him from the days of THE NIGHTHAWKS

[@RandyDoddMusic]

Jimmy is a freking great blues player , I've had the pleasure of doing a couple shows with him in Colorado ...and his surf guitar is awesome as well I'd love to see him with Clapton sometime at the Crossroads festival

[@markstang4593]

Saw Jimmy and the original Nighthawks twice in Minneapolis at the legendary Union Bar in July and October, 1981.

[@paulrussell7130]

I'm 58 years old and I was just introduced to this artist's music. Damn, Not sure how I missed out on most of his career but I can tell you it will be no longer. Jimmy Thackery is soooo good! Track after track. I need to see him live. Bucket list! Love this "hobart's blues"! MD boy too!

[@Torrisonia]

Thackery definitely should have made it big. The man's music is really something.

[@Jonathan-L]

@@Torrisonia Yes, he plays the notes and riffs that other guitar players just didn't get around to playing.

[@tonyfrascella1857]

Listen to the nighthawks he was building his chops then him and mark werner harp

@@tonyfrascella1857 I remember back in 1979 I bought my first Nighthawks album "Side Pocket Shot" ... it's still one of my favourites.

All I can say.is...awesome!!

[@dannblues]

Simply great...

[@bostonmarcus1]

I've seen Jimmy live many times at Johnny D's in Somerville, MA. An amazing guitarist and showman. The lineup of the "Drivers" has changed over the years. I miss Mark Stutso on the drums- and Mark also has a great set of pipes. I saw the Nighthawks - Thackery's original Blues band at the Boston House of Blues, with another lead guitarist in the lineup. Check out the Nighthawks on an old live album, recorded New Years Eve, 1980 or 81, called "Ten years Live."

[@cindynor]

I've been loving his music for about 25 years...crazy nights at the Stanhope house in NJ. Thanks JT!

"Come back to Montana & spread some of that "Magic City Blues" this summer, Mr. Thackery!" Hey man, ef this don't cut ya, then you ain't got no heart.

[@Alanrpw]

Yes, I like this! Good to see he still has it. He makes it look like it easy... always the case with good guitar players...

[@EL34XYZ]

Excellent!

[@greggmarshall898]

I used to see him many times at the old Manny's Car Wash in NYC. I think it was on 88th street. Saw him in Asbury Park in some dive bar in the late 90's or early 2000s.

[@oobullhead]

[@donniemaxwell7005]

Well it's a good day for Blistering Blues.His strat is frigging beautiful !!Also love the ending w/drummer and poster that the gospel truth.

[@paullevine1813]

Just as you have your hometown hero in Rocky, ours back here in MD is showing just why he is our local giant of the rockin blues we all love. Awesome clip Donnie , I never saw him use this axe but that old Flying V of his is definitely ingrained on us Marylanders ...

[@cecilalmond]

+paul levine He's had that 63 strat a long time, use to alternate with flying V many years ago.

[@paullevine1813]

Cecil Almond Hi Cecil, Those were some great times back in the early 70s . I grew up in Rockville & remember all the great music going on , Nils & Grin, Crank & of course Jimmy & the Nighthawks. Saw all them many times & everyone was playing some fine rock & blues. Thanks.

[@cecilalmond]

I still try to see Thackery about once a year. About 10 - 15 years ago, a friend's wife had him and the drivers, play her husbands birthday party. I got to talk to him for about an hour prior to him playing. Always an unassuming guy, just one of the boys. Someone wrote to Vintage Guitar magazine and said he had ruined that guitar, I wrote in and said he'd made a lot of money playing that guitar and I'd take it over any original.

[@paullevine1813]

Cecil Almond Just curious , did you grow up in the Rockville ,Bethesda area back in the 70s ?

[@n5yiz]

wow

[@isaacesqueff9784]

Great source of inspiration!

[@Mission2Transition641]

@Slartibartfast70 great to hear! Youve got some catching up too do....So many albums.....One of my favorites is the LIVE "WILD NIGHT OUT" check it out. seen Jimmy few times live and met him ..great guy ..and a blues guitar legend.

[@denali371]

Mikhail Gorbachev on the guitar :-)

[@v2vroth]

great stuff I dig his style !

[@pietroanania]

someone have to post his Jimmy Thackery Blues Guitar Mastery (Video 2001) - instructional hot licks video?

[@barbaracoffin2587]

Saw him live. He kicks some serious.......

[@kickinbackinOC]

Great stuff! I get a good blues vibe listening to this, (of course), but I just mean, it makes me feel good. It feels authentic and honest. And the licks and changes are varied and different enough throughout the song to lend some intellectual interest, and keep my attention. Which is similar to the way I feel when listening to my favorite artists like Clapton, and Trower, and SRV. There is enough depth here to engage me!

[@TheEddie7771277]

Fantastisk! Likes!!

There is something about a 3 piece outfit that is just the bomb. Clapton was the same in Cream. Dave Hole at his best with a trio. Some guys surround themselves with other museos but these dudes don't need it. I think he is the best going around.

[@TheGusmo]

this guy can play his a-- off

[@johnhowley22]

I didn't know Dick Chaney could jam like!

[@giuseppewilcox5149]

seen u in Arnold Nebraska at the blues fest will u be coming back soon. Wendell matthews

[@MSholl52]

@RandyDoddMusic he wouldnt ever do it. He has a giant disdain for the house of blues, cross roads etc., the so called "establishment" of blues. Although i agree, id love to see him play with those guys just so he could make them all look bad.

[@grantellis2840]

This tune proves Zombies do exist, these one sitting in a chair wearing a checked shirt, no or very, very little movement to this awesome tune, no toe tapping, bugger all head movement, I think he is dead or at least comatosed

[@jaycc2]

Bryd.says play it.......

[@luit13]

We got drums, bass and guitar, but what is that other guy playing? Non amplified paperwork?

[@sweigart2]

Do you play Columbus, Ohio?

[@DavidBolg]

Great performance. Didn’t really need to see the shots of the spare bass or the guy with the notebook.

[@barbaravanwhy4564]

Oh he would blow Clapton out of the water
