STILL IN LOVE

The Jimi Barbiani Band is the current project of Italian blues rock slide guitarist Jimi Barbiani, who is considered one of the best in his field in Europe. His style is influenced by Jimi Hendrix, Joe Bonamassa, Jeff Beck, Free, and Govt Mule. The bands unique sound is created by the interaction of its members different personalities. A driving rhythm section lays the foundation for the maestros brilliant and impressive guitar playing. The bands three albums (Back On The Tracks, Blue Side, and Boogie Down The Road - Live!) not only sold very well in his home country, but also found fans in the US. Videos by Jimi Barbiani sometimes reach over 500,000 views. Before heading back on tour through Europe in winter/spring 2026 - there are also a few festivals lined up - the new LP Still In Love will be released on CD, vinyl, and of course digitally. The centerpiece of the album is the almost eight-minute version of Princes Purple Rain. Here, Barbiani pulls out all the stops - the genius from Minnesota would have loved it. But the JBB also masters quieter and gentler tones, as the dreamy acoustic instrumental track Little Martha shows. The initially slightly sluggish Spend Me Your Light, on the other hand, exudes plenty of Southern feeling, while We Must Dream pays homage to boogie - somewhere between Canned Heat and ZZ Top. If you like down-to-earth, catchy blues rock, this is the place for you.
