Recorded at Olympic Sound Studios, Barnes, London, S.W.13.
Remixed at Woodland Sound Studios, Nashville, Tennessee
From the delta of Mississippi to the sidewalks of Chicago to International stardom is the route Jimmy Dawkins has taken in his musical journey...and every place he has been, he has left part of himself, and also, found part of himself.
He is the classic story of the eleven dollar mail order guitar; the realization that he had music to offer, the trip from the southland to Chicago, the factory, the ten-dollar-a-week gigs, the hunger, the need to find himself, and last year the award for the best Jazz-Guitarist of the Year (The Grand Prix of France). This is Jimmy Dawkins, and this, his first Excello album recorded in Europe, is where he now stands....a man very much his own man, who grows in musical stature with every note he plays. Listen...because Jimmy Dawkins has something to say.

Dawkins delightful electric Chicago blues is worth it
Review written by John Fitzgerald, June 21st, 2005 Though some reports have suggested he has been hard to work with, Dawkins' "Transatlantic 770" nevertheless is a blistering guitar driven Chicago blues affair. Yes, there are horns but they are definitely brushed to the site and do not overtake (as can usually happen) as Jimmy's sharp, stinging electric leads plow their way through effectively throughout this platter. Most tunes are given a slight 70's funk feeling and ballads such as "Think twice before you speak", "The mighty hawk" & "Love and understanding" either use strings or keys (instead of horns) to accompany them which really helps avoid such banal arrangement difficulties. It may seem as though there is not much extended improvisation (though Dawkins comes close on "All for business") but it is not as apparent as other such albums lacking in this department as Jimmy's guitar work is so impressive that one can enjoy the many short lead breaks here just as much as if they had been stretched out a little more. Catchy tunes abound as half the album surprisingly includes Dawkins originals, five to be exact. My favorite parts are the real upbeat numbers like the rocking "Stone dead" and the lightning speed of the closing "No more trouble" which has a very busy bass line job for Bob Brunning but he keeps up the pace tremendously here. This probably doesn't touch the best of it's genere but it sure can't be far off that level.
