Too Bad Jim

by R.L. Burnside

Produced by Robert Palmer and recorded at Junior Kimbrough's legendary juke joint, 'Too Bad Jim' captures the unadulterated, raw power of North Mississippi hill country blues. Burnside's droning, hypnotic guitar riffs and stomping rhythms bypass traditional 12-bar structures, delivering an aggressively electric and relentlessly repetitive blues masterpiece.
