Jimmy Thackery and The Drivers are a seasoned force in the world of blues-rock, led by the eponymous guitar virtuoso Jimmy Thackery. With a career spanning over four decades, Thackery made his mark first as a co-founder of the Nighthawks, a band that combined blues, R&B, and rock influences to critical acclaim during the '70s and early '80s. Following his seventeen-year tenure with the Nighthawks, Thackery branched out in 1987 to forge his path with his band, The Drivers, pushing his talents as a fiery and soulful guitarist to the forefront with a mix of original tunes and carefully chosen covers.

Jimmy Thackery and The Drivers stand out for their consistent output of high-energy blues rooted in tradition yet infused with a modern sensibility. Albums such as "Inside Tracks" (2008) and "Solid Ice" (2007) spotlight Thackery's dexterity on the guitar and his seasoned troupe's ability to pivot from hard-charging boogies to soulful ballads with effortless precision. Other acclaimed releases like "True Stories" (2003) and "We Got It" (2002) blend storytelling with robust musicianship, highlighting not only Thackery's technical prowess but his depth as a songwriter. Deeply rooted in the blues tradition, earlier albums such as "Sinner Street" (1999), "Drive To Survive" (1996), and "Trouble Man" (1993) laid the groundwork for the band's signature sound, combining blues, soul, and rock to deliver a powerhouse performance track after track. Jimmy Thackery and The Drivers remain a dynamic staple in the blues circuit, offering a robust discography that speaks to the enduring appeal of gritty, heart-pumping blues-rock.
