Jochen Becker from ZOHO Music L.L.C. welcomes the fabulous Nashville-based R & B, Soul and Blues singer JIMMY HALL to the ZOHO ROOTS roster!

Jimmy, widely known as the lead singer of the seminal Southern Rock group WET WILLIE in the 1970s, and lead singer with guitarist JEFF BECK in the 1980s and 90s, has just completed a sensational new Soul / Blues record named "Build Your Own Fire" - which is a tribute to the great late singer Eddie Hinton.

Backed by the powerfully tight Muscle Shoals Rhythm Collective with David Hood, bass, Clayton Ivey, keyboards, Hammond B3, and Wurlitzer, it features Larry Byron (ex Steppenwolf), and Greg Martin (with the Kentucky Headhunters) on guitars. Featured guest vocalist is Delbert McClinton!

Jimmy Hall, former lead vocalist and harmonica player for Wet Willie, has a long and varied background as a performer, working with Capricorn Records from its early days in the 1970s. Born and raised in Mobile, Alabama, Hall co-founded Wet Willie in 1970; over the next ten years, Hall and the group toured with Aerosmith, the Allman Brothers Band, Grand Funk Railroad and the Grateful Dead. Hall was later nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocalist for Jeff Beck's 1985 Flash album. After Wet Willie's breakup, Hall moved to Nashville to work on a solo project for Epic Records, and he's been based there ever since, finding a healthy blues scene in a city known for country music. On his 1996 effort Rendezvous with the Blues , Hall is backed by people like Clayton Ivey on piano, former Capricorn session drummer Bill Stewart, and Dr. Dan Matrazzo on Hammond B-3 organ; the record also features Johnny Sandlin, the same producer who sat behind the console on Wet Willie's 1973 live album Drippin' Wet.
