RL Burnside "Too Bad Jim"

LP (NEW) - Vinyl, Fat Possum Records, US, 1994, 80307-1, 0045778030712, 180g Vinyl

Too Bad Jim is a seminal 1994 album by American musician R.L. Burnside, considered his breakthrough record that helped bring his raw, hypnotic Hill Country blues to a wider audience. The album was recorded in April 1993 at Junior Kimbrough's juke joint near Chulahoma, Mississippi, and produced by New York Times music critic Robert Palmer. The production is highly praised for capturing an authentic "juke joint" feel, with a "raw" and "unpolished" sound. The music is characterized by rhythmic, drone blues rather than the traditional 12-bar form, with simple, repeated motifs.
