Description
Entertaining Angels is the solo debut album by the American singer, songwriter and session guitarist Jimmy A (Jimmy Abegg) of Vector fame, released on Sparrow Records in June 1991. The album was engineered by Craig Hansen at Kaleidoscope Sound in Bellevue, Tennessee; with Jimmy A and Hansen producing for Charlie Peacock Productions.
Readers of album sleeve small print will know the name Jimmy Abegg from just about any Charlie Peacock album you care to mention. Now the man turns in a tough debut which deftly blends blues, R&B and occasionally jazz into a sinuous rock brew which reminds me of everybody from Peter Gabriel to Phil Keaggy (he’s playing bass on some cuts!) Yet over the album Jimmy A begins to stamp his own originality on the project. Jimmy plays some deliciously economical guitar licks and Charlie Peacock himself takes a delightfully soulful lead on «I’ll Meet You In Heaven». A fine album, let’s hope more follows.
