The true thing is I have been pleasantly surprised and deeply caught by the genuine respectful old school blues, coming from singer and guitarist Rocky Jackson The sensitive so genuine and passionate way he has to deal with the blues is totally amazing In Testify! cd Rocky walks with great feeling and respectful skill, along the winding roads of southern Delta blues and deep ‘mojo’ that, sometimes, takes us to Chicago West Side bars and joints Ernest W ‘Rocky’ Jackson III was born in 1947 in Austin, Texas and self learned to play bottleneck, seing how Hound Dog Taylor did it on live gigs During the seventies Rocky settled in Los Angeles, looking for opportunities to play blues every night, because in those years California was more active in the field of blues From 1980 to 1988, Rocky Jackson was regular member of The Magic Blues Band, the backing band of different solo artists, like Coco Montoya, Paul Butterfield or George ‘Harmonica’ Smith among others Testify! Is a highly recommended selection of thirteen songs by Rocky Jackson and his group, where the spirit of great masters prevails over other musical aspects
