Biography
Lane was born on 4 July 1965 in Chicago, to famous Chess blues musician Jimmy Rogers and his wife Dorothy. In his childhood, he got to know many older bluesmen who worked with his father, including Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Willie Mabon, Little Walter and Albert King. Lane would say years later, "I feel blessed and fortunate to have known all those cats and I do not take it for granted."[citation needed] In 1998 Lane played for then Presiden Bill Clinton[1].
Jimmy is working on an new album and has written material he would like to record with Chris Layton on drums and Tommy Shannon on bass, the same rhythm section whom he recorded his last album "It's Time" (2004) with. He said that Eddie Kramer would be his first choice for audio engineer and producer, if he is available.
Jimmy D. Lane's MP3 album Live At Famous Dave's is being remixed for an official CD release in the US sometime early next year
