Jimmy D. Lane With Double Trouble - It’s Time '2004

Tracks list

You might call Jimmy D. Lane a natural born bluesman. His father was the
legendary Jimmy Rogers, who Jimmy D. shared the stage with for many years before
recording on his own. Lane can play it ’50s-style, as he did with his
father and on Eomot RaSun’s album, but he can also turn it up and rock
out with any of the finest guitar slingers. For It’s Time, Lane tackles a
program of original tunes (except for one), with the aid of Double Trouble,
Stevie Ray Vaughan’s rhythm section. These guys bring decades of
experience to their blues rhythms, and know exactly how to support a player like
Lane. Keyboard duties are split between Celia Ann Price on B3 and piano, and
Mike Finnigan on the B3. In addition, the album was produced and engineered by

“Stuck in the Middle”). As a writer, Lane sticks close to standard
subject matter “What Makes People” is certainly a close cousin of
Willie Dixon’s “The Same Thing,” but the variety of tempos
and grooves and great playing all around keep the album exciting. The
reggae-inflected acoustic rhythm guitar and congas give “Til I Loved
You” a unique sound, and the acoustic guitar, haunting slide and general
atmosphere of “Stuck in the Middle” brings Lane close to Little Axe
territory. “Ain’t It a Pity” adds a bit of gospel flavor, a
wonderful liquid guitar tone and the slightest bit of echo on some of
Lane’s vocals to great effect. But most of these songs showcase
Lane’s considerable guitar prowess and tough playing style. Great guitar
solos are in abundance all over It’s Time, and Lane really gets a chance
to stretch out on Elmore James’ “Bleeding
