Albums The Right Road

Press Reviews Reviewer: Tom Hyslop - Blues Revue Magazine Jimmy Griswold cuts a guitar-intensive but song oriented disc. The Right Road (self-release)covers a lot of ground as Griz harmonizes leads over the funky "Nickel and Dimen'"shimers double-stops and spins out precise, adventurous lines above the deep groove of "Change in the Weather," shuffles straight Chicago blues on "Push Me," and positively rips, country-style, on the "The Letter" and "Hit It." He pulls out all the stops on a harrowing tribute to Roy Buchanan, "Blues for Roy." "Griswold's singing upholds the high standard of his playing. Energetic CD Reviewer: Norman Davis -- Suncoast Blues Society Jimmy plays with the ease and style of a guy who's spent a lot of nights in front of a crowd. He segues from jump to soul to blues on the album, showing a lot of good influences, including Duane Allman and Roy Buchanan. His tribute to Buchanan, Blues for Roy, is a treat. You might think Roy was back. Griswold is also an excellent song writer. A Killer CD Reviewer: Donny O'beirne Great writing and great musicianship make this CD a real standout. The only way to make these tunes sound better, is to hear them performed live by Jimmy. baddest up coming blues guitar player in the world!!!!!

Reviewer: Johnny Greenwell Short and sweet...this dude rocks! Lots of posers in this genre, and Jimmy takes them to task as well as making a niche of his own with the big guitarslingers. Evidence of his Buchanan influences abound,and Roy lives in Jimmys'signature cut. Do yourself a favor,and slap the leather for this one. You won't be disappointed.
