Jimi Smith - Give Me Wings
Born into a musical family in Chicago, Jimi Smith literally grew up in the business.
His mother (Johnnie Mae Dunson) was a drummer and song writer with Jimmy Reed
and a major force in shaping Chicago blues in the 1950’s.
Jimi made his first recording at the age of eight and under the tutelage of Jimmy Reed,
began playing guitar at the age of twelve. “I’m the only person that he actually sat down
and taught how to play guitar,” said Jimi. As a teenager he toured with Reed from
1973-1975 playing the Ann Arbor Blues Festival and many clubs from Detroit to Chicago.
At nineteen he relocated to Minneapolis creating an immediate impact on the
burgeoning blues scene.
