The release is 11 original tracks all written by Jimmy Vivino and as Gulf Coast president Mike Zito stated, “ …Gonna Be 2 of Those Days, puts Jimmy where I think he belongs: center stage.”
To cover the background of Jimmy Vivino would end up being a multiple part TV series and that would still just be touching the surface of this multifaceted entertainer. The Who’s Who list of musicians that Jimmy has worked with would require multiple books to note the likes of John Sebastian, Joe Lous Walker, Odetta, Donald Fagen, Felix Cavaliere, Canned Heat with Fito de la Parra, and on and on the list goes. Not to be overlooked is the over 30 years that Jimmy was involved with TV as a member of the band for the Conan show. As Jimmy says, “I’m just a Bluesman with a job,” and “Nothing beats playing in live music venues and meeting people.”
The release opens with Blues in the 21st, featuring guitar legend Joe Bonamassa, and the groove is pure down and dirty Blues with riveting bluesy vocals. The guitar work is enthralling and a solid baseline holds that true Blues vibe. The track Ruby Is Back starts with a hard pounding bass and drum entrance and rings with Jimmy vocals before the guitar and organ kick in and pace the sound complementing the vocals.
The title track Gonna Be 2 of Those Days is next on the play list and the opening chords are compelling Blues as Jimmy rings true with his captivating vocals as he sings, “Lying here aching, I’m about to go insane, need some medication to ease my pain…..” Beware the Wolf , featuring John Sebastian, opens with a blazing series of guitar chords and a rolling drum to get the energy up and running and then cuts in with John Sebastian playing a haunting harmonica and Jimmy Vivino on piano.
Other amazing, touching, down and dirty, and Blues, like it should be played and sung tracks include Ain’t Nuthin’s Gonna Be Alright, Better Days Past, Fool’s Gold, Crossed My Mind, and Goin’ Down Fast. The release closes with Shady Side of the Street and Back Up The Country, featuring John Sebastian, and both tracks encompass who Jimmy “The Bluesman” Vivino is with outstanding lyrics, engaging vocals, and Blues the way a song should be scored and played. Make sure you give this release a listen and it will be added to your collection.
