"At a time when blues slingers are a dime a dozen, this guy shines like a silver dollar." Blues Wire magazine, Boston said that about Jimmy almost 15 years ago now. 25 years at the top of New Englands' music scene, Jimmy Junkins and the Soulcats have evolved into an authentic and original music entity. With a serious road history performing throughout the U.S. and Canada, two internationally distributed CD releases and performances with B.B. King, Buddy Guy,The Robert Cray Band, Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters, The Eddie Burks Band, Rod Piazza and the Mighty Flyers, Zora Young, Asleep at the Wheel, Roomful of Blues,  Mike Welch, Big Jack Johnson, Matt "Guitar" Murphy,  Anson Funderburgh, at the 2006 Boston Blues Festival,and recently with Austins' Nick Curran (Texas Jamboree,  Blind Pig and now Electo Groove recording artist) and one time guitar slinger for The Fabulous Thunderbirds, just to name a few, this band is sheer roots and blues enjoyment with a sound that speaks in world class tones!!! Jimmy has been called a "master of tonality", and has been written about in some of the top blues publications worldwide. It's been said that he was "born in New England but his soul was raised up in Louisiana" Bennie Green (Face Magazine) said, "when he plays a note you feel it, Jimmy plays guitar without alot of pyrotechnic nonsense, if you've seen Jimmy Junkins play, you've seen something of a rarity, someone who plays for the sheer love of music".
