New live album recorded by legendary guitarist featuring Tommy Castro, Coco Montoya, Joe Louis Walker, Jason Ricci, Nick Moss and the late-great Johnny Bassett. Five years have passed since the release of JIM Mccarty & Friends. Jim continues to drop by the room sometimes jumping on stage to "trade guitar licks." Most of the players know him from Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels, Buddy Miles, Cactus, and the Rockets. When Jim sits in it's always electric. The musicians push each other and the music to a higher level. Your demand for a second CD and the quality of playing made this project a reality. Here is another round of unrehearsed impromptu jams featuring JIM Mccarty and some of the best Blues musicians in the world. JIM Mccarty & Friends II, for Blues music lovers everywhere!
