Album Notes
Personnel includes: Jimmy Thackery (vocals, guitar); Earl Cate (guitar, background vocals); Jimmy Carpenter (saxophone); Ken Faltinson (piano, Hammond B-3 organ, bass); Ernie Cate (keyboards, background vocals); Mark Stutso (drums, background vocals); Reba Russell (background vocals).Recorded at Sound Unreel Studio, Memphis, Tennessee in October 2001.For his first album for Telarc, Jimmy Thackery -- backed by his band, the Drivers -- has come up with a near-tribute album to Eddie Hinton, covering eight of his songs on this 11-track set while offering three originals that illustrate the depth of his debt and love for the underappreciated singer/songwriter. Hinton was one of the leading white Southern soul singer/songwriters of the '70s, '80s, and '90s, and Thackery learned a lot from him -- especially how R&B, blues, and rock could be seamlessly fused and that roots are as important as strong songwriting. Thackery turns up the volume a little bit more and rocks it hard, not just here but overall, but he can also convincingly deliver a slow-burner like "It's All Wrong but It's All Right," which is what makes We Got It so satisfying -- not just as a testament to Hinton, but as a strong Thackery record. It's a great way to begin his association with Telarc. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
