Jim McCarty

Jim McCarty is the renowned drummer from the psychedelic rock group, The Yardbirds. Jim is respected worldwide for his innovative drumming style, which he introduced into music in the 60s on hits such as "For Your Love, Heart Full Of Soul, Shapes of Things, Over Under Sideways Down," all of which were UK Top 10 hits. When the Yardbirds broke up in the late 60s, Jim formed a number of successful bands over the next 25 years including Renaissance, Box of Frogs, Shoot, Stairway, and Illusion, before reforming The Yardbirds in the 90s, whom he still tours with today. "Walking In The Wild Land" is Jim's third solo album and features his songs and vocals in a wonderful folk-rock style.
