The last time the great Jimmy Rogers held a guitar was during the final takes of "One Room Country Shack," the eighth track on this rocking second album from latter-day guitar virtuoso Jimmy D. Lane, Rogers's son. Passing the torch as well with his work on "Another Mule Kicking in My Stall," the elder Jimmy joined the similarly gifted guitarist Hubert Sumlin and drummer Sam Lay to support Jimmy D.'s follow-up to his debut CD, Long Gone. Despite his lineage, Lane hadn't decided to become a professional musician until he heard Jimi Hendrix's "Hey Joe," after which he put down his jackhammer and picked up his axe. Influenced not only by Hendrix, but also by Albert King, Albert Collins, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmy D. has a power rock groove to go with his deeper, darker, bluesier groove that's showcased here on "Four O'Clock in the Morning" and Howlin' Wolf's powerful "Big House." --Alan Greenberg
