If you are a true Southern Blues fan, Jimmy Hallâs name will resonate with you. If you are a true Southern Blues fan, âRendezvous With The Bluesâ is a must have in your collection as one of the most definitive records of the genre.

Jimmy Hall, former lead vocalist and harmonica player for Wet Willie, has a long and varied background as a performer, working with Capricorn Records from its early days in the 1970s.

Born and raised in Mobile, Alabama, Hall co-founded Wet Willie in 1970. Over the next ten years, Hall and the group toured with Aerosmith, the Allman Brothers Band, Grand Funk Railroad, and The Grateful Dead. Hall was later nominated for a Grammy Award for âBest Male Rock Vocalistâ for Jeff Beckâs 1985 âFlashâ album.

After Wet Willieâs break-up, Hall moved to Nashville to work on a solo project for Epic Records, and has remained there since. In Nashville, Hall found a healthy blues scene in a city best known for its country music. On his 1996 effort, âRendezvous With The Bluesâ, Hall is back by artists such as Clayton Ivey on piano, former Capricorn session drummer, Bill Stewart, and Dr. Dan Matrazzo on Hammond B-3 organ. The album also features Johnny Sandlin, the same producer who sat behind the console on Wet Willieâs 1973 live album âDrippinâ Wetâ.

In recent years, Hall joined Hank Williams Jr.âs touring band playing sax and harmonica. Hall also performs nationwide to audiences who truly appreciate Southern Blues.
