Fat Possum

<p>Fat Possum Records is a label that was established in 1991 with the sole purpose of recording R.L. Burnside. Over time, it evolved into a mission to discover and record the last remaining original bluesmen before they passed away. Despite facing various challenges such as difficult personalities, limited songs, and a raw sound that didn't fit the mainstream blues market, these artists possessed immense talent and truly lived the blues.</p>

<p>In recent years, Fat Possum has expanded its catalog to include newer indie blues rock bands alongside their traditional offerings.</p>

SOUTHERN MUSIC SHAMAN JIMBO MATHUS CONJURES A MAGICAL NEW ALBUM FROM 40 YEARS OF VISIONS, DREAMS AND POETRY;OUT APRIL 5 ON BIG LEGAL MESS RECORDS.  The respected songwriter, guitarist, and producer trades his six-string for piano, and elevates his songcraft for a deeply personal recording that reflects his life making classic American music.OXFORD, Miss. - Jimbo Mathus has blazed a singular path as a singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer and shaman for 40 years, recording and releasing more than 300 songs that are a testament to his hoodoo craftsmanship and to the sounds, sights and spirits of his inspirations in the deep South. His new album, Incinerator, which debuts on April 5 via Mississippi's Big Legal Mess Records, is the epitome of that art - an incendiary reflection of his world in music.Mathus describes the 11 songs on Incinerator as "a huge tapestry of my experiences, hard work and dedication to living a creative life. I really took stock of what I do and why I do it . why I weave stories and dreams and visions I have into songs. And I tried to squeeze every bit of meaning out of every note and every word I wrote and recorded. It's impossible to separate this album from me. This is who I am."Incinerator was recorded in a burst of inspiration, with all but overdubs cut in just two days in Water Valley, Mississippi's Dial Back Sound. Surprisingly, Mathus, who has produced dozens of albums, decided to hand the controls to Bronson Tew and Drive-By Truckers bassist Matt Patterson, who co-own Dial Back, and opted to play piano instead of his trademark guitar."I wanted to get to the soul of these songs, without distractions," says Mathus. "So, I decided to play piano and record my singing live in the studio. It's instinctual for me to plug in an electric guitar and rock. But I was seeking the kind of perfection you find in Romantic poetry. I wanted to hear the lyrics surrounded by space, and then add colors after I considered what was needed."The results are full of warmth and heart'.'
