Music reviews of Ass Pocket of Whiskey (Dig)
Music Review: great blues with a shot of punk
Rating: 5 Stars
Not everyone's cup of tea but I love this album. Hugely exciting and textured. The album was done in 4 hours according to RL Burnside and that is kind of the sense you get from the album. Not that it was hastily/sloppily put together but rather it was a jam session, done by professionals. Mad professionals, but professionals nonetheless. Goin Down South and Shake Em On Down are the best tracks, in my opinion, but the rest of the album is excellent as well. This would be an great introduction to RL Burnside if you enjoy rock or punk but are getting into blues. Absolutely mega.

Description of Ass Pocket of Whiskey (Dig)
Available on vinyl for the first time in 6 years!Recorded in one afternoon in the Holly Springs, Mississippi, hometown of 69-year-old blues great R.L. Burnside, A Ass Pocket of Whiskey documents a single noisy, spirited session with Burnside, his sideman Kenny Brown, and the punk-bred blues reconstructionist trio called the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. The pairing of JSBE, led by a white Ivy League dropout turned downtown New York scuz who poses as a hard-living blues rocker, and R.L. Burnside, the last of the real down-home badass bluesmen of the Mississippi hills, is strange--perhaps sacrilege to blues purists--but oddly appropriate. And the moments of pure musical chaos caught on this record--both cross-cultural and cross-generational--sound entirely within the realm of both acts. With its unorthodox accompaniment (including wheezy theremin and Spencer's trademark shouts), the album is probably not the most fitting introduction to Burnside. But as the oldest man ever to record for the hip indie-rockers at Matador, no doubt he gladly sacrificed juke-joint obscurity for the chance to appear on MTV's 120 Minutes. --Roni Sarig
