Jackson, Jimmy
Rock 'n' Skiffle With...
Back in the early days when Swing was no longer the thing and Trad was just sad, British teenagers had a voracious appetite for the latest scene. Something new, fresh, exciting and all theirs. Skiffle was briefly in vogue and this compilation brings together the recordings of singer Jimmy Jackson during his fleeting recording career for Columbia. Skiffle came and went and Jimmy never made it to the very top but he left us this reminder of when Brit Pop was all about that tea chest bass and a washboard.
