Reviews:
"Jimmy D. Lane's guitar playing will knock you over. His control of his guitar, from the most delicate tonal nuances to the flashiest, fastest licks, is almost superhuman. Only the most masterful guitar players can command their instruments this way, and all the practice in the world can't develop it. Jimmy D. Lane is a natural-born guitar monster." Muddy Waters Band guitarist Bob Margolin
“If you like southern rock, this is the blues artist for you. This is high octane hard rockin' blues, play it loud and revel in the thrills.
When you hear this recording you'll know it's time for Jimmy D. Lane to seize the reins of blues leadership as his father, Jimmy Rogers, did in the 1940s. Eddie Kramer, engineer for Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, co-produced and engineered this recording. Chris "Whipper" Layton and Tommy Shannon of Double Trouble, and Mike Finnigan, who played organ in the bands of Etta James, Taj Mahal and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, are all to back Jimmy up.
Jimmy D. Lane began to play guitar in his father's band in the late ‘80s. Though he inherited his father's warm, deep, confessional voice and talent for playing guitar, he was also inspired by the more modern music pioneered by Jimi Hendrix in the ‘60s and Stevie Ray Vaughan in the ‘80s. Over hundreds of nights on bandstands all over the world, Jimmy D. accompanied his father's classic Chicago Blues tastefully and appropriately. He was also featured leading the band as he developed a personal style with his own combination of influences.
In "What Makes People" you'll hear the same shuffle groove from the Double Trouble rhythm section that they laid under Stevie Ray Vaughan on famous "Pride and Joy". "'Til I Loved You" has Larry Faucette guesting on congas. In "Half Love" you'll hear Jimi Hendrix's influence. "Ain't It a Pity" is a little slower and so full of beauty it glows!
However, my favorite on this album, and about the most perfect blues song I've heard yet, is "Stuck in the Middle". It's beautiful in every possible meaning of the word. It features Bill Garrison on slide guitar with really sexy vocals from Jimmy D. The style reminds of Eric Clapton.” Teresa Goodwin, Positive Feedback
“You might call Jimmy D. Lane a natural born bluesman. His father was the legendary Jimmy Rogers, who Jimmy D. shared the stage with for many years before recording on his own. Lane can play it '50s-style, as he did with his father and on Eomot RaSun's album, but he can also turn it up and rock out with any of the finest guitar slingers. For It's Time, Lane tackles a program of original tunes (except for one), with the aid of Double Trouble, Stevie Ray Vaughan's rhythm section. These guys bring decades of experience to their blues rhythms, and know exactly how to support a player like Lane. Keyboard duties are split between Celia Ann Price on B3 and piano, and Mike Finnigan on the B3. In addition, the album was produced and engineered by the one and only Eddie Kramer, who adds crisp, clear production values and some very subtle studio tricks (check out the panning in the slide solo on "Stuck in the Middle"). As a writer, Lane sticks close to standard subject matter "What Makes People" is certainly a close cousin of Willie Dixon's "The Same Thing," but the variety of tempos and grooves and great playing all around keep the album exciting. The reggae-inflected acoustic rhythm guitar and congas give "Til I Loved You" a unique sound, and the acoustic guitar, haunting slide and general atmosphere of "Stuck in the Middle" brings Lane close to Little Axe territory. "Ain't It a Pity" adds a bit of gospel flavor, a wonderful liquid guitar tone and the slightest bit of echo on some of Lane's vocals to great effect. But most of these songs showcase Lane's considerable guitar prowess and tough playing style. Great guitar solos are in abundance all over It's Time, and Lane really gets a chance to stretch out on Elmore James' "Bleeding Heart" (yet another connection to Jimi Hendrix's legacy). Credit must also go to label/studio owner Chad Kassem for putting out blues albums that sound the way they ought to: real musicians playing real instruments together in the same space without the gloss and polish (especially on drums) that is the bane of too many modern blues albums. Any fan of serious blues guitar really needs to check out Jimmy D. Lane, and It's Time is an excellent place to start.” AllMusic Review by Sean Westergaard
