All My Best - Jimmy Mayes
"I’ve put this CD together of my songs which I’ve recorded through the years. I want to mention the song Love Trap which was written for me by the young man who took me from the Regal Theatre in Chicago to New York City, Mr. Tommy Hunt. Something About You I Like was written by my good buddy Andre Williams and my brother Finesse (Chet) Mayes. I wrote Substitute for all the ladies in my life. These are some of the reasons why I call this collection All My Best. Each song is special to me. I’ve worked with the greatest, from Little Walter Jacobs on harmonica, the blues great Jimmy Reed (listen to 3 great Jimmy Reed titles on this CD), the twist master Joey Dee and the Starlighters, where I met my good friend Jimi Hendrix, as well as my Motown greats, Martha and the Vandellas, just to name a few. I’ve also been touring with the Grammy winning Pinetop Perkins and Willie (Big Eye) Smith." Jimmi Mayes, Chicago 2011
