Born in 1928, Jimmy spent the first part of his professional career playing in R&B bands behind such noted performers as Otis Clay and Denise LaSalle. It was only in the mid-'70s that he really made his name as a blues player, thanks to high-profile gigs with Jimmy Dawkins and Otis Rush. Jimmy cut his first album, Johnson's Whacks, in 1979, and by the late '80s he'd become one of the most in-demand performers on the Chicago scene. His career took a tragic turn in late 1988, when the van he was driving swerved off the road, killing his bassist and keyboard player. Jimmy retired for several years following the accident, but returned in second half of the '90s to release several strong outings.     Jimmy Johnson Cut Me Loose (Live) WinMedia Blues, R&B A thoroughly modern Chicago blues number, with traces of rock and jazz.
