He has had a unique sound through the years, playing his kind of blues. He started out playing a Fender Jaguar on this first album and went on to play the Gibson ES-355 semi-hollow guitar. I have also seen him play a Gibson ES-Artist model, and on his last two albums, he played a Fender Telecaster. All-in-all, Jimmy still presents his style of soulful blues no matter what kind of guitar he uses. He has always brought real feeling to the forefront, and his music could never be thought of as blues-lite, which other performers all too often play. Jimmy has recorded many albums over the years and finding them will reward the buyer. I'm hoping we'll hear more from Mr. Dawkins, the West Side Guitar Hero.
