Bad Religion
co-wrote with Rev. James B. Richards
About the negative side of Christian experienced and how we tell everybody what’s wrong. Jimmi wanted to make a positive statement about Christianity.
Bad Religion is one of his most popular songs and has been played all over the world.Mercy
The show positive side of what Jesus came to do. To show mercy upon us sinners
Jesus came to show us mercy from God he took our punishment for our sins upon himself so we could find forgiveness throw Christ work on the cross and resurrection

Jimmie Bratcher starts out playing the blues as a young man in the late
60’s and early 70’s.
At the age of 22 Jimmie became a Christian and put his guitar away for
nearly 20 years. Over time he ended up as an associate pastor of a
large church. Now after a self imposed retirement from the blues
Jimmie Bratcher is back playing the blues he loves so much. This time
it’s different, he is now Reverend Jimmie Bratcher and he is singing
about Jesus Christ and what God has done for us.

I told Reverend Jimmie Bratcher I was pleasantly surprised to come
across his music, Christian blues is something I never new existed.
Jimmie: The term Christian blues is a new term but the concept has been around
a long time in Gospel influence blues With people like Son House,
Blind Willy McTell, BB King and Rev.Gary Daves

Question: How do people react when you tell them what you do?
Jimmie: People sometimes in bars look surprised by what the songs are
about. After they hear that the words are loving and excepting of the
people and not condemning they loosen up.

Question : What artist do you think you draw your inspiration from?
Jimmie: Every where and every genre of music also in peoples expression
of life and their expression of their saver and Jesus. I Always liked
Eric Clapton, later on Steve Ray Vaughan. Inspired by people that are
passionate about what they do. Whether it’s music art or speaking or
preaching.

Tomorrow there will be more on Jimmie Bratcher, till then check out his
website and MySpace page. It’s not to late to get his wonderful
Christmas cd “Man It’s Christmas“.
