This album opened my eyes to so many artists that I wasn't aware of, who are apparantly making some of the best music out there.
The beautiful thing is the rock influence on so many of these songs that makes the title ring true.The Black Keys rock out ferociously on "Set You Free", which sounds like The Stones circa "Exile On Main St." Iggy Pop and The Stooges show up on "You Better Run",culled from a Junior Kimbrough tribute album.The old standbys like Fred McDowell, R.L Burnside and Furry Lewis mix with the late Charles Caldwell, who was just discovered before his death and stands proudly with the best on "Hadn't I Been Good To You", from his posthumous "Remember Me" album. Bob Log III's "Boob Scotch" stands with Clarence Carter's "Strokin" as on of the best blues party songs of recent memory."Vampires and Failures" by Grandpa Boy is one catchy song you won't be getting out of your head anytime soon.Overall great mixture of blues and rock that was unquestionably one of the best releases of 2004!

Fat possum is in the ONLY record lable that I am willing to support, so when it came out (which was on the same day as my birthday) I went out and got it. Some of the Highlights are the Little Freddie King track "Crack Head Joe" which has a guitar riff that sounds very similar to Junior kimbrough. Thee shams "You want it", and Grampaboy's "vampires and Failiures". Near the end, the album takes on more of an Acoustic feel. Which adds a nice break to all the rawer more electric Blues/Rock sounds. Overall this is a very enjoyable sampler. I wasn't crazy about N.T.S.O.B.C. 1, but this is much better.
