Barbed Wire and Silk is a CD with a true-to-nature mix of blues and rock, creating a story-telling landscape with an gritty edge to complete the task...
Bio / Background
'Barbed Wire and Silk' is an apt analogy of the way music can be interpreted as having some rough edges (like life then do an about face and be as smooth as silk stockings). The tenderness of the heart is heard while all the trials and tribulations that people go through in life are touched upon in asong. A good story line and great music driving it completes the task.
In essence, Jimmy "O" is a rambunctious San Fernando, California based guitar player and vocalist who likes to tear it up. On Barbed Wire and Silk, his second album on Smokestack Records, Jimmy and his road-toughened band rip, roar and finesse their way through 12 originals aimed at the fans who pack their bar shows night after night.
Although he cites the three Kings, Elmore James and Johnny Winter as primary influences, and traces of their blues styles do show up in his axe wielding, his execution stems more from a rock base.
Right away the gauntlet is thrown and the band kicks into high gear.
