Born in Dublin, Mississippi in 1943, Jimmy Burns derived his earliest inspiration from the records of Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and others. After Jimmy moved to Chicago in the mid-'50s he discovered a scene that was perfect for the meld of traditional blues, churchy emotionalism, and forward-looking pop/R&B sophistication that by then comprised his musical aesthetic.
Live at B.L.U.E.S. captures perfectly the indelible combination of ebullient good spirits, warm-hearted intimacy, and sharp-witted intelligence that characterizes Jimmy Burns, as both a musician and a man. 12 songs, plus two bonus tracks and an audio interview/commentary special feature. Also available on CD.

Reviews |
| Blues & Rhythm - Mike Stephenson |
| Apart from the concert itself, one of the special features of the DVD is to hear Jimmy Burns being interviewed. Watching Jimmy perform you realise just what a good yet understated guitarist he is, and how the band slip easily into a great groove. |
| Juke Blues - Dave Williams |
| He plays in such a personal uncluttered manner one never thinks of it as derivative or cliched. It all adds up to a very enjoyable album that gives one confidence that the real thing can still be done properly. |
