Title: Great intro to Fat Possum's music: mix of delta blues & punk
Review: This is Fat Possum's latest sampler. It features several obscure Delta artists, such as Cedell Davis from Pine Bluff, AR and Johnny Farmer. Davis' music is unique since he was crippled as a child by polio and plays slide with a butter knife. The sampler also features better known artists such as R.l. Burnside with his new "hip-hop" sound and the late great Mississippi juke joint proprioter Junior Kimbrough. The CD also includes Bob Log III and Twenty Miles. These guys are more akin to punk than they are to "real" blues, but they are young musicians harkening back to solid blues roots with a punk twist. Give Fat Possum a listen!
