The emperor is naked.......2007-01-05

Reading all the gushing positive reviews, I'm sitting here scratching my head, wondering whether they're perhaps listening to a different CD than what I have. When I first put on this album, it sounded fairly exciting. With the beefy blues riffs and funky beats, I thought I was in for a good time. But the truth is, once you hear the first ten seconds of any track, you've heard it all. This isn't minimalism, it's just simplicity. There's little variety, no depth, and when you hear the initial phrase of any given track repeat for the nth time, you can't help but wonder - what's the point? I have to give credit to Lyrics Born though - the two tracks that he raps on are hands down the best, though even they follow the rinse/repeat formula. It's too bad that his flows couldn't save the entire album. Two stars for the two LB tracks.

The Okee Dokee..........2006-12-28

...as my mom would say when I ripped myself off. That's what I went for when I bought this. Too bad that bad music, bad handlers, and commercialization got a hold of a legend and produce this disasterpiece.

The Future of The Blues!.......2006-12-15

I Believe this last recording of the Great R. L. Burnside points to the future of Blues Recordings! As the Younger generation begins to pickup on the sounds and the feeling of the old country blues,they are beginning to infuse a Hip Hop feel to the music;you can clearly hear in this recording AND IT WORKS! Showing that the old delta blues of the 1950's and the Hip hop of 2000's has a lot of similarities.With people like Kid Rock guest starrin and other rappers, the future of Pop music will still have the blues!

Is there anything better?.......2006-01-07

I can only hope to see R.L. live in concert one day. This is one of the best Blues albums (or any type for that matter) to grace a CD. Inventive, unusual, hip, funky and smooth all rolled into one. Two words: "Buy It!"

Excellence.......2005-08-15

This is the best CD I have heard in a long time. Even some bums on the street heard me listening to it in my car and just had to ask what it was. R.L Burnside and Lyrics Born are a unique and fabulous collaboration.
