Amazon.co.uk Review
When you buy a Fat Possum record you're buying an attitude. A title like Not The Same Old Blues Crap II probably hints as much. The Oxford, Mississippi label exists to record old bluesmen--not respectfully, for the archives, but as if they were still capable of working an audience and making a bit of noise in the music business. Hence the jokey titles, occasional freakish mixes and, here, the King Of The Hill-style cover art. The listener's feelings about all this will probably depend on his or her response to the label's artists. The nine on this sampler range from entirely convincing blues practitioners--R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough (hypnotic in "Meet Me in the City"), Robert Belfour, the unique Scott Dunbar--to more limited figures such as Asie Payton or Paul "Wine" Jones. If you don't know these bluesmen and haven't encountered the philosophy-in-action of Fat Possum Records, you should, and you could hardly do better than start here. --Tony Russell

Customer Reviews

Stompin' Compilation
I bought this CD while at Uni. I was blown away. If you're looking for foot tapping...no, foot stomping blues, then get this. It's great.

In 2003 I was lucky enough to see T Model Ford in New Orleans. He features prominently on this release alongside the late R L Burnside. Fantastic stuff. Buy it now!
