Jimmy Maddox has always had music at his fingertips, beginning with his boyhood Sundays at the Alpha Methodist Church in Bloomingdale, Georgia, through his years on the road as piano player for stars that included Billy Joe Royal, Eric Burdon, Tracy Nelson and Radney Foster. Today, via his celebrated residency aboard the General Jackson Showboat in Nashville, thousands of fans from all over the world have experienced "Juke Joint Jimmy" at his boogie-woogie best. But it’s during his weekly Gospel Brunch that Brother James’ one-of-a-kind take on old-time hymns truly rocks the boat.

When I was growing up, you would never play hymns this way," Maddox laughs. "You would be asked to leave, and people would pray for you once you were gone. Boogie-woogie was an exuberant style of music that folk of all colors loved in low-down saloons. But those same people would fill church pews the next day. For me, ‘Boogie Woogie Gospel’ brings together Saturday night and Sunday morning. It’s all about making a joyful noise."
