Jimmy Stewart is a guitarist, singer, song writer who originally grew up in the Boston area of Massachusetts. Jimmy picked up the guitar at age 11 and formed his first band, "Opaque" at age 14. Recruited at 16 as lead guitarist for one of the area's top bands "Cuckoo's Nest", Jimmy played up and down the New England coast throughout the late 60's and early 70's. Jimmy formed his own band, "The Jimmy Stewart Band" in 1976, and played the club circuit throughout the Virginia Beach area. |

| | Press Reviews | | Jimmy says he's a fan of The Beatles, especially John Lennon. There are times when listening to the songs on Cordially I am tempted to think that I am actually listening to Lennon. The voice and singing style are amazingly Lennon-like. He even uses some of the same effects Lennon at times used to drench his voice. Harmonies, octaves and phrasing on cuts such as "Cat's Don't Grow Antlers" , and "Karen McDeegle" are very reminiscent of the Mind Games - Walls and Bridges era.

There are times when listening to the songs on Cordially I am tempted to think that I am actually listening to Lennon. The voice and singing style are amazingly Lennon-like. He even uses some of the same effects Lennon at times used to drench his voice. Harmonies, octaves and phrasing on cuts such as "Cat's Don't Grow Antlers" , and "Karen McDeegle" are very reminiscent of the Mind Games - Walls and Bridges era. Another big influence in Jimmy's music is without a doubt Pink Floyd. It's in the structure of the song and the clean, slinky guitar playing. Check out "East Bound 44," one of my favorite Jimmy Stewart songs. Maybe Gilmour joined in with Lennon. Another Floyd-like song is the 6-minute piece "Requiem" from Klassic Kuts I, in which he moves from theme to theme held together by a Roger Waters-sounding bass line. On "No, Not I" the stye switches to late 60's Buffalo Springfield or early solo Neil Young. | | Add Yourself to the Artists Mailing List |
