Consumer Guide Reviews:
Free Beer Tomorrow [Artemis, 2002]
the North Mississippi paterfamilias, "as pure and unblemished as Dorian Gray" ("Bound to Lose," "The Ballad of Billy and Oscar") *
Jungle Jim and the Voodoo Tiger [Memphis International, 2006]
Unorthodox producer and damn fine session pianist chooses songs better than he sings them ("Red Neck, Blue Collar," "Hadacol Boogie"). *
Killers From Space [Memphis International, 2007]
More good songs he discovered and you never heard of ("Dirty on Yo Mama," "No No Never Again"). *
Dinosaurs Run in Circles [Memphis International, 2009]
Circles described by comestibles still savored and carousing still fondly recalled ("Coleslaw," "Who Threw the Whisky in the Well"). *
I'm Just Dead, I'm Not Gone: Lazarus Edition [Memphis International, 2017]
Three years before he'd die at 67 in 2009, the Memphis producer-paterfamilias has lost his voice, as the 1983 coda proves, while retaining the entirety of his brain, spirit, and attitude ("Redneck, Blue Collar," "Lazarus") **
