Reviews:

"Jimmi has a great voice, he plays a mean guitar, and his band The Wild Cats are absolutely a rockin' band to reckon with. . . . I really dig Jimmi's uptempo blues licks." -- Marijn Raaijmakers, BlackCat Rockabilly Europe

"I wanted to let you know that I received the new Jimmi Accardi CD. It sounds fantastic! Not only does it demonstrate his skills as a performer, but I was amazed at his writing talent. I will add the music to the station this weekend." -- Don Freeman, Rockabilly Radio

"Jimmi Accardi is no paint-by-numbers retro rocker. He obviously studied the rockabilly style with all of its nuances and subtleties, and turned out an album that stands up respectably to the original music. Jimmi evokes a much truer sound with his instrumentation and delivery than groups who cashed in on the rockabilly craze of the 80's (Stray Cats, Blasters, etc.). With the swing band revival well beyond saturation, Jimmi may lead the way for a rockabilly rebirth in the new millenium. . . . Overall, the album has that warm feeling of tube amps, reel-to-reel tape, and a small studio on the back streets of Memphis. Had the late Carl Perkins lived just a few more years to hear this, he would have undoubtedly embraced Jimmi Accardi as a kindred musical spirit." -- Steve Cagle, New Soul Revival

"Jimmi shows how skilled a guitarist he is. . . . A fine album." -- Gaby Maag-Bristol, Blue Suede News

"A master of 50's based pop music. . . . a compelling package this writer can heartily recommend. . . . it sure is a lot of fun." -- Brian Augustine, Sierra Blues Society

"Si vous aimez le bon r'n'b jive des 40's / 50's, voilá un album qui vous plaira car il y a plein de cela sur ce CD de guitariste / chanteur californien, dont "Dance my blues away" ou "Don't break my heart", trés sautillant. "Promises of love" et "Suffer" bien r'n'b néo-orléanais, un instrumental bien rock'n'roll avec "Twang time", un titre trés Little Richard, "I'm goin' crazy for you, baby", et une superbe ballade médium 50's, "The price of love" (pas le titre des Everlys)." - Bernard Boyat, Le Cri du Coyote and Rock'n'Roll Revue
