5.0 out of 5 stars 300 POUNDS OF TROUBLE, May 24, 2001

Tremendously talented guitar player I first saw at the Texas Blues Festival in 1995. This relativly unknown at the time blues rocker from the east coast came on stage that day and proceeded to blow away every big name Texas blues act. After that live show I immediatly went out and picked up this album. Don't mistake the rapper looking Chubby on the cover and the word Booty in the title. This is the blues, and in my opinion it still remains the best blues rock album of the 90's. This album has some of the tastiest guitar licks in it that I've heard in a long time. Combine that with some great songwriting, and witty and cutting lyrics, it makes for a true blues rock lover's delight that's sure to frost your cake. There are 12 originals and 3 covers here. Some of the best guitar work comes on the cover of Willie Dixon's slow blues burner "Same Old Blues", which eventually builds up to a fierce guitar frenzy that'll have ya pushing the repeat button. Another great song here is "Sweet Goddess Of Love And Beer", which has an almost southern rock feel to it. I also like the slow blues ballad "Trouble", where Popa shows his soulful side and proves he's a pretty darn good singer in the Otis Redding vein when he slows it down. Excellent songwriting here too. Popa plucks a little bit from all types of music. He shows us his funky side on "Lookin' Back", and "Stoop Down Baby", and another favorite of mine "Healing In Her Hands". This is a great on the edge, progressive blues album that, like Stevie Ray Vaughan's music, will hold up very well with time. I've got everything that Popa Chubby has released since this album, and I can tell you he always puts out quality records. I'd have to say though, so far this is his masterpiece. Very highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars By Far the Fat Guy's BEST CD, June 26, 2002

Blistering in your face guitar work that still oozes with soul. I've got several of Chubby's CDs, and this one is hands down the best. Heavy doses of funk rhythms add energy to this "blues with an attitude." By the way, if you like this CD, dig up Left Hand Brand by the Gales Brothers...

Personally I've found Poppa Chuibby's work inconsistent, but this album's hot from beginning to end. Awesome vocals and guitar slinging.

With hundreds of CDs in my collections this is one that I listen to time and time again.
