The Electric Rev.	The Electric Rev. Lighting strikes, snakes are running and the good news is sounding as sweet as Al Green on Sunday morning. From the New Orleans street march of “Green Bananas” to the Sunday morning sound of “Pray for Me” “The Electric Rev.” speaks the language of the blues with a spirit that will touch your heart and soul.
Man Its Christmas	Man! It’s Christmas Man! The Rev. Jimmie Bratcher’s Man! It’s Christmas hits the ground running with a smokin’ blues rock rendition of the title track that’s quite an attention grabber. The Rev. man maintains the high-pressure sales job with a just-as-smokin’ cover of What Child Is This. Next, he comes through with a masterful blues arrangement of Go Tell It On The Mountain. The lamest Christmas song I can think of, the good reverend lays hands on it and it walks!
Red	RED Red comes right at ya with “Bad Religion,” a rocking Blues number complete with a driving rhythm section, stinging slide guitar, and gritty vocals. The next track, “Mercy,” adds horns and a feel good Funk sound for a cool groove. “I See Red” gets a little bigger with full vocals, great breaks, and a driving rhythm almost like a Texas-style Blues. “Drive” showcases the horn section with some killer leads. “Dance With Me” takes us down that Country Blues ballad lane and does it quite well. “Restless For The Son” caught me off guard as I thought that the CD had switched to a Miles Davis track; not quite, but it is very jazzy and easy to listen to. “Three Chords” is a classic low-down, greasy Blues song with some very big guitar and vocal work; tasty, tasty.
Live on the 4th of July	LIVE “LIVE on the 4th of July” DVD-CD Set — Recorded July 4, 2003 to a capacity crowd of 2000, the live show captures the energy and passion of Jimmie and the band like nothing but a live concert could - unchained and cut loose with a full horn and vocal section.

Something Better	Something Better Jimmie’s 2003 A bit more aggressive than its earlier predecessor, Something Better embraces a colorful array of soulful melodies and hard-hitting rhythms, but still holds true to the root of blues.
Honey in the Rock	Honey In the Rock Jimmie’s first album titled “Honey in the Rock” debuted in July of 2001and has been described as an “Amazing collection of songs that take you to all realms of the blues world”, (Scott Greene, Gritz Southern Music Magazine).
