Our Take
Our Take
JIMMIE SPHEERIS is a name that may not be on everyone's lips, but after delving into his album Isle Of View / The Original Tap Dancing, you'll wonder why he's not a household name. This double album is a wild ride through Phantasmagoria, with Spheeris showcasing his incredible talent for blending folk and jazz influences into something truly unique.
Isle of View kicks off with the hauntingly beautiful "Mongrel Dog", a track that sets the tone for what's to come. Spheeris' intricate fingerpicking and soulful vocals are a match made in musical heaven. The album's title track is a standout, with its dreamy atmosphere and mesmerising melodies transporting listeners to a world of pure bliss.
On the flip side, The Original Tap Dancing brings a whole new dimension to Spheeris' sound. This jazz-infused collection of tracks will have you tapping your feet and snapping your fingers in no time. The infectious energy of songs like "Mountainside" and "Golden Man" is impossible to resist.
Overall, Isle Of View / The Original Tap Dancing is a must-listen for anyone craving something fresh and exciting in their music collection. Jimmie Spheeris may not be a household name yet, but with albums like this, it's only a matter of time before he's a legend in the making. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.

About the artist
Jimmie Spheeris
Jimmie Spheeris: The Enigmatic Troubadour of the 70s Folk Scene With flowing locks and a voice like honey, Jimmie Spheeris burst onto the music scene in the 1970s, bringing a unique blend of folk, pop, and jazz to the masses. Despite his undeniable talent, Spheeris never quite reached the heights of his contemporaries, but his cult following remains as dedicated as ever. Born in Phenix City, Alabama, Spheeris found his true calling in the bohemian counterculture of 1960s California. With his haunting lyrics and ethereal melodies, he quickly established himself as a troubadour for the disillusioned youth of his generation. His music was a blend of introspection and whimsy, drawing comparisons to the likes of Joni Mitchell and Tim Buckley. Spheeris' career was tragically cut short in 1984 when he was killed in a car accident. Despite his untimely death, his music lives on, captivating new generations of listeners with its timeless beauty and emotional depth. Songs like "I am the Mercury" and "The Nest" continue to resonate with fans, showcasing Spheeris' unparalleled talent as both a songwriter and performer. While he may not have achieved the commercial success of his peers, Jimmie Spheeris remains a beloved figure in the annals of music history. His music transcends genre and time, reminding us all of the power of a well-crafted song and a soulful voice. Raise a glass to the enigmatic troubadour of the 70s folk scene – Jimmie Spheeris, gone but never forgotten.
