Free Music Notes for Too Bad Jim
Free Music Review: Quite Possibly The Best Blues Album of The 90s
Hit: 5 Stars
R.L. Burnside wasn't discovered until late in life. How could this talent have been hidden so long? This is just great, gritty, no frills, blues. Almost hypnotic at times (ie. "When my First Wife...,). "Shake Em On Down", "Old Black Mattie" and "Going Down South" are just house-shaking good tunes. "Short Haired Woman" and "Death Bell Blues" conjures up images of R.L. sitting on his back porch on a hot, Mississippi summer evening. This is just great stuff. Unfortunately Fat Possum records would get the bright idea on future R.L. releases to bastardize his music with loops and other hip-hop sound effects. I guess they were trying to get a younger, more "hip" audience or something. But that's a whole other review. "Too Bad Jim" is hard to beat, but if you like this (how could you not like this?) also check out his live CD "Burnside on Burnside" which is also excellent.
