Jimmi and the Band of Souls are a soulful, high-energy, award-winning band from Minnesota.
They play boogie-woogie. They play slow and lonely. They play toe tappin’, deep groovin’ and hard drivin’. They’ll lift your spirits with their contagious energy. They are the only band to represent Minnesota twice in the International Blues Challenge.  They have played in festivals all over the Midwest and opened for rock legends like Canned Heat, Vanilla Fudge and Devon Allman. Two of their albums, Aquarius (2025) and The Devil You Know (2011), were voted the best blues albums in Minnesota. The band is committed to hosting at least one benefit a year. In 2022, they raised over $11,000 for the people of Ukraine. In 2023, they hosted a benefit for the Takoda Institute, a Native American school in Minneapolis and in 2024, they co-hosted a benefit for Minnesota music legend, Scott Sansby. “It’s about giving back,” says Jimmi. “While we have breath, let’s use our talents to create community and build a better world for all of us.”
"I found that Jimmi Langemo, Jimmi, as all his friends call him, has a steady, reliable, singing voice with a large second tenor range with some first tenor and first bass singing range. A unique singing style of Minnesota blues that is a touch of jazz and a few songs in this CD are a splash of country. Meaning all of these songs in this CD will attract people of different genres. 
 I have heard this band in live music. This CD was recorded at a live concert in Hayward, Wisconsin. You can listen to Jimmi & The Band Of Souls reach out to the people who are at the concert. Connecting with the old fans and new.
Singing soulfully is Jimmi the leader of the band. Jimmi also plays the guitar, slide guitar and the harmonica. Always on beat and blends well. Never over powering. Perfection! Jimmi wrote all the songs. Definitely a great talent he has. Writing about life and emotions in this CD.
Jay LeClair plays guitar with grandeur and poise. Always on beat and blends in well. Great solo parts.
Nate Heinz does two solo vocals in “Say You’re All Mine” and “Got my Mojo Working” Nate also does back up singing with Jimmi. I like the slightly raspy blues voice of Nate. It is always good to have several singers in any group. Nate plays the bass guitar and helps keep the beat of the music, giving the soul and beat of the group.
Lastly we have Richard Medek on the drums. I can feel the drums and they are always keeping the band on track with the rhythm of the music. That is a true talent indeed.
On the cover of Live, Baby, Live is a picture of Jimmi on stage by Dreya Morrigan Layman. Posed in a pause and his head lowered with his beloved hat. The background is blurred. Jimmi is in control of the music on stage with his present. 
I found Jimmi’s music on this CD very uplifting, exciting and the best of the best. A five start review. I don’t give anything lower than five star music reviews. That includes CDs. 
I have to say, once I received this CD, I listened to it almost every day. I love all the songs on this CD. I do have a few favorites, but I will find those of Jimmi & The Band Of Souls fans. You can hear them on this CD and at live concerts.
So yes, I give this CD five stars. I also recommend you see them live! Jimmi & The Band Of Souls were picked on the the top band in the Twin Cities area for 2025 by their peers! Congratulations!" ~ Mitzi Beliveau/
