Scratchin': The Wild Jimmy Spruill Story

(2014/GVC) 61 tracks.<br>This compilation attempts to present a comprehensive overview of Jimmy's Spruills early career. In addition to relatively obscure collectibles also better known titles found side by side, and his percussive, rhythmic scratchy style runs through all the tracks. And while it is incomplete, this collection remains a really tremendous work and takes a renewed focus on an often overlooked and largely forgotten early "Guitar Hero" of the blues, R & B and Soul.<br><br/><br/>Medium 1<br/>Kansas city - Wilbert Harrison<br/>Hard grind - Wild Jimmy Spruill<br/>Wildcat tamer - Tarheel Slim<br/>Big muddy - Larry Dale<br/>Believe me darling - June Bateman<br/>It's too late - Tarheel Slim<br/>Your evil thoughts - Lee Roy Little<br/>Kansas city march - Wild Jimmy Spruill<br/>Jersey city - Bobby Long<br/>Strange angels - Elmore James<br/>Possum belly overalls - June Bateman<br/>Shakin' - The David Clowney Band<br/>You're going to miss me (when I'm gone) - Chuck Bradford<br/>Don't wreck my life - Wilbert Harrison<br/>Till the day I die - Bob Gaddy<br/>Lonely island - Jimmy Spruill<br/>There's something on your mind [Part Two] - Bobby Marchan<br/>Sweet little girl - Taylor, Lynn & Peachettes, The<br/>Jump for joy - Charlie Combo Lucas<br/>Going back to my home town - Hal Paige & The Whalers<br/>No 9 train - Tarheel Slim<br/>Hardworking man - B Brown & Rockin' McVouts<br/>All in my mind - Maxine Brown<br/>Down in the valley - Solomon Burke<br/>Slow draggin' - Wild Jimmy Spruill<br/>Little school girl - Jim Harrison & Bob<br/>Driving home [Part Two] - Charles Walker<br/>Fannie Mae - Buster Brown<br/>Hard times (The slop) - Noble Watts & Rhythm Sparks<br/>Scratchin' - Jimmy Spruill<br/><br/>Medium 2<br/>Scratch'n twist - Wild Jimmy Spruill<br/>Is you is or is you ...
