Title: RL's complacent experimentation finally fails
Review: rl burnside is one of the best blues artists of contemporary times. All of his recordings have been excellent to date except this one. The experimentation with JSBX was not straight blues but it worked. this album would be better coined "club burnside" as the record sounds as if burnside was dubbed over the pet shop boys monotonous dance beats that tired 10 years ago(no offense to the pet shop boys but let the pet shop boys do the pet shop boys!). Go to his concerts, buy his other records but skip this one. Lastly, of all the lame beats two of the songs do retain burnside's style and one strange track with the always talented alec empire actually pulls off the electronic burnside!
Is the review positive or negative?
