About

Jimi "Primetime" Smith  is likely the only person who can say that he was homeschooled on guitar by Jimmy Reed and Eddie Taylor. He is also one of the few guitarists on the present scene who learned early on how to accompany blues pianists such as Sunnyland Slim and harmonica players such as Big Walter Horton. Jimi Smith is simply not one to blow his own horn, crafting his own carreer in a remarkably humble and preserverant manner.
