Jimmie Bratcher - This Is Blues Country (2017)

Get around the Bratcher family and you will hear country music. Growing up that’s all my folks Pete & Margie listened to and as much as I hate it to admit it, some how it got inside of me. My first concert was Patsy Cline’s last live performance and at the age of fourteen my album collection was Axis Bold as Love, Jimi Hendrix and Live at Folsom Prison, Johnny Cash. But I’m a blues-rock player and playing country songs just wouldn’t fit into my set list, until now.

This is Blues Country is a collection of some of my favorite country songs arranged in my blues-rock style. On most of the songs I tried to stay true to the original melodies and it would make me so happy if you would listen to the original artist and arrangement first before you listen to mine. I love these songs and I am so excited to present them to you. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed recording and performing them…. Jimmie
