Jimmy Fame

Jimmy Fame has toured with artists such as Eric Burdon & The Animals, Jimmy Witherspoon and Robben Ford. As a song writer he's written songs for The Animals, Eric Burdon, Jim Altman, 'Doc' Nemo & The Young Marquis and John Sterling. In Thailand he's performed with Rich Harper, The Prodigal Sons, Cannonball, The Soi Dogs, Dr. Blues, The Blues Junkies, the Groove Doctors, The Rockin'Angels, Andy Gonzales and, most recently, the Colin Hill Band. He is a regular performer at the annual Phuket International Blues Festival.

'Wanted Man' is the latest CD from Jimmy Fame. It is a collaboration between Jimmy & Australian guitar legend Colin 'illy' Hill. It was recorded entirely on the island of Phuket at Legend Music studios.

"This is a collection of songs that I've wanted to record for a long time. There are two originals, a few old chestnuts such as Eve Of Destruction and If I Were A Carpenter, two from the wonderful singer/songwriter Tom Russell, and a couple of blues (of course.) The CD is a departure from the rockin' blues that I'm more known for locally (Jerry Hopkins – author of the Doors biography No one Here Gets Our Alive) said '…it's as if Jimmy Fame has moved up the road from Memphis to Nashville.'"
