Thackery comes by his six-string brilliance honestly, having learned from the very best sources. Besides Buddy Guy and Jimi Hendrix,
Thackery cites Chicago axe master Otis Rush as a primary influence. Moreover, he learned quite a bit from playing on stage alongside
such blues legends as Muddy Waters, James Cotton and Luther "Guitar Junior" Johnson.
Thackery became widely known as the innovative
guitarist with the Nighthawks, one of the hardest-working and most popular blues bands of the '70's and '80's.
Thackery left the Nighthawks
in 1987 founding a six piece R&B band called The Assassins. The popular and critically-acclaimed group recorded three albums before
disbanding in 1991.
Thackery formed a stripped-down three piece unit and began touring as Jimmy Thackery and the Drivers, amazing crowds
wherever they performed.
Thackery has been acclaimed as one of the hottest live acts around, with his jaw-dropping performances becoming the stuff of legend.
As
the Boston Globe put it, "Jimmy Thackery is a four-hour performer. That's not how long he plays, but how long one should travel to
see him. He's a phenomenal guitarist, one of the best we've seen."
Blues Revue said, "Guitar god Jim Thackery's live album aptly
lives up to its title, capturing the depth and breadth of his awesome ability."
