about

Recorded over 2 days, one outside RL Boyce's house in Como, Mississippi and one at Jim Dickinson's legendary Zebra Ranch Studio, this album showcases the improvisational blues genius of the one and only RL Boyce.
Many of these recordings feature the father/son double drum kits of Cedric Burnside and Calvin Jackson, the only known recordings of the two drummers together.

Another solid effort start to finish. Very much a life lesson storytelling lyricist. To me still is very similar to James McMurtry which is not a bad thing. Looks like another album is dropping soon. That’s good news. Yimmy Kil
