ILLYRIAN SUN is the brand new album by Jimmy, on the WabiSabi acoustic music label.
American born, Australian based singer and guitarist Jimmy puts his own
mark on 15 folk/alt.country gems.
From Townes’s Rex’s Blues, through to the self penned, My Love, the
velvety vocals and luscious guitars leave no doubt in one’s mind that Jimmy
“believes, lives, loves and understands”, the craft and inspiration behind the songs of Dylan, Townes Van Zandt,
Guy Clark and John Prine, chosen and beautifully interpreted here on Illyrian
Sun.
An outstanding version of David Wilcox’s classic, Spin is augmented by
the appearance of Canadian slide virtuoso Harry Manx.
An ensemble of musicians and friends from all over the planet gather to
lend a hand and help create the atmosphere and backdrop on other tracks like
Angel from Montgomery and LA Freeway.
An often ignored and untypical Neil Young love ballad, Birds is treated
with tenderness, conviction and delicacy.
