LIVE at the Aviator was recorded during a live performance at a beer tap house. This is a hot and raw recording that captures the essence of live music in a hoppin juke joint. LIVE at the Aviator was released in April 2012. Here are a few words from "Louis J Casson aka Lowdown Louis" - United Kingdom blues musician, author and poet.
"JH's studio CDs are good, but live what's he like? From this CD I'd say even better, in that if you go to a Jimmy Haggard gig, there'll be a solid good time guaranteed. This raw but ready CD is the proof.
-- Red House -- Captures the raw live sound in all its earthy honesty - this is not some sterile HiFi cut - but remains true to the venue ambient sound, with the minimum of studio post-recording processing. You can also hear the audience digging the music and Jimmy interacting with them!
-- Rock Me Baby/ Little Red Rooster -- Not so much a medley of two tunes, as a shuffle where the lyrics to both tunes are mixed seamlessly into one. Good rockabilly feel to the guitar. Comes complete with blues howl.
-- Warm Me Up -- An original tune from JH - Blues with a funk soul flavor; the band keeping firmly in the pocket and groove throughout. Fluid bass with some wicked hi-hat work going on. This is a partnership that is working and loving their work!"
