R.I.P
R.L Burnside 1926-2005
One of the last true bluesmen is gone.
Turn this album up to 11 and raise a big glass o rye to salute him!!
Review by Thom Owens
Too Bad Jim is cut from the same cloth as its predecessor, Bad Luck City. It features R.L. Burnside fronting a small juke joint combo, tearing through some greasy blues. However, Too Bad Jim is the better album, simply from a performance standpoint. Burnside sounds more relaxed and the band steps back from the spotlight slightly, letting the guitarist burn brightly on his own, showcasing his deep blues roots.
