..."We were all on the same page, and the recording went quickly and smoothly,” says Jimmy. "We did all the bed tracks live off the floor. We wanted to capture what we do live, without sugarcoating anything.” The result on Back Number is an album that exhibits real dynamic range, while adhering to the classic sound of a blues-rock trio.
    Canadian blues great Colin Linden has already given his seal of approval to "Spirit Of the Town,” a powerful horn-fuelled ballad. In fact, Linden joined The Jimmy Bowskill Band in performing it a gala blues concert at The Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto in March 2010. That song has deep personal resonance for Jimmy. "I wrote it about my home town of Bailieboro [near Peterborough, Ontario]. I have a really strong connection to that town, and it’s about the changes I’ve seen there over the years...”
...Jimmy’s lyrical skills are also in full evidence on "Seasons Change,” an epic and soulful song featuring a vocal performance Paul Rodgers (a fan and friend of Bowskill) would be proud to call his own. The propulsive and catchy "Linger On Sweet Time” is another highlight of this consistently strong, filler-free album... ~ bluesmagazine.nl
