For today’s episode of Blues and News, I interviewed the Legendary and Amazing Jimmi Mayes! We talked about his history as a drummer working with the likes of Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, Sam Lay, Pinetop Perkins and much more!
We also talked about his book, “The Amazing Jimmi Mayes, Sideman to the Stars”, which can be purchased at this link: https://www.amazon.com/Amazing-Jimmi-Mayes-Sideman-American-ebook/dp/B00H488CDS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503938864&sr=8-1&keywords=Amazing+Jimmi+Mayes
