Jimmy Burns - It Aint Right '2015

Tracks list

It Aint Right is Jimmy Burns first studio set in a long time -- 12 years, to be
precise, a belated sequel to 2003s Back to the Delta. It Aint Right doesnt make
any pretenses about returning to Burns Mississippi roots but rather settles into
a wonderfully textured soulful groove, something relaxed and elastic, a sound
that gives plenty of space to both his clean, hopping guitar and robust vocals.
Although the album is devoid of originals, he manages to spin songs by Bobby
Rush, Jimmy Reed, Percy Mayfield, Little Walter, and Lowman Pauling toward his
soulful style, even finding a way to turn Ben E. Kings Stand by Me into a bit of
an uptempo groover. Not everything here is sprightly, not by a long shot, but
the things that stick recall the easy elegance of Sam Cooke, whether its on the
deceptively chipper Will I Ever Find Somebody? or the churchy closer Wade in the
Water, and they help turn It Aint Right into something of a relaxed, heartfelt
celebration.
