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>

Back In Stock

Back in stock - 180 gram virgin vinyl pressing on fat possum. 'a ass pocket of whiskey' features bluesman burnside backed by the jon spencer blues explosion. Born in 1926 in coldwater, mississippi, rl burnside was a contemporary and protege of the great mississippi fred mcdowell, the bluesman famous for his statement 'I do not play no rock and roll.' burnside, on the other hand, did and does on the surprisingly wonderful 'a ass pocket of whiskey'. Burnside is backed here by the punk-influenced avant-blues noisemongers of the jon spencer blues explosion. The combination is more credible than some blues purists might imagine. Burnside's distinctively gritty modal blues were an acknowledged influence on captain beefheart, and many of these 10 tracks recall nothing quite so much as the captain's distinctively wild blues experiments-with spencer's aggro-skronk guitar noises standing in for the magic band. Blues classics like john lee hooker's 'boogie chillen' and the '40s broadside 'tojo told hitler' sound just fine next to burnside's idiosyncratic originals.
