Some reviews of Jimmi\'s music: \"Seventeen original tracks, which show off his talents as a songwriter, as well as an accomplished musician. They are many excellent songs here, but I especially enjoyed \'Good To Me,\' \'Rockin\' On Down The Road\' and \'I Can\'t Get Enough Of Your Love\'. The album closes with the instrumental \'Go\', a rocking track to get anyone up and dancing, with The Wildcats\' brass section in top form.
\" - Steve Nicholson, Blues Matters \"Jimmi has a great voice, he plays a mean guitar, and his band The Wild Cats are absolutely a rockin\' band to reckon with. . . . I really dig Jimmi\'s uptempo blues licks.
\" -- Marijn Raaijmakers, BlackCat Rockabilly Europe\"I wanted to let you know that I received the new Jimmi Accardi CD. It sounds fantastic! Not only does it demonstrate his skills as a performer, but I was amazed at his writing talent. I will add the music to the station this weekend.
\" -- Don Freeman, Rockabilly Radio\"Jimmi shows how skilled a guitarist he is. . . . A fine album.
\" -- Gaby Maag-Bristol, Blue Suede News\"A master of 50\'s based pop music. . . . a compelling package this writer can heartily recommend. . . . it sure is a lot of fun.
\" -- Brian Augustine, Sierra Blues Society\"Dette svinger som tusan! Vi får 18 låter her og alle som en er orginale skrevet av Jimmy Accardi selv, med litt hjelp av Margaret Foard. Det dreier seg i hovedsak om svingende rhythm and blues, men det er flere twangy instrumentaler som heller mer mot country her også. . . . Allerede som tenåring ...
