Jimmy Bryant & Speedy West "Boogie Man"




Jimmy Bryant & Speedy West reunited in Memphis,TN back in 1975 to record an LP that was to be titled "ONE LAST TIME." For whatever reason(s),this much anticipated LP of their final collaboration was never released on vinyl, however in 1990, these recordings were produced in an extremely limited quantity on CD before the issuing company went out of business. Word has it that Jimmy brought his beloved Gibson 335 to the 1975 Memphis sessions, and Speedy, sentimental that he was, asked to borrow a Fender Telecaster for Jimmy to use for the recordings.For all you fellow pickers and music lovers alike, enjoy track #2, a Jimmy Bryant number called "BOOGIE MAN" along with the bizarre claymation I dubbed in, as we all greatly anticipate the upcomong 2010 documentary on the legendary Jimmy Bryant.
