| Liner Notes: |
... Bragason's and Petursson's guitar playing is greatly influenced by Chicago styles.
They asked me about the possibility of having a real Chicago guitar stylist come to
Iceland. The first person that came to mind was veteran Bluesman Jimmy Dawkins. Jimmy
epitomizes the Chicago West-side style, which was created by him, Magic Sam, and Earl
Hooker. Dawkins' style is unique and imitable. ... Chicago Beau |
