Editorial Reviews

From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD

This studio set gives some idea of the roughhouse pleasure to be found in Barnes's Greenville, Mississippi, Playboy Club on most Friday and Saturday nights. Decidedly unconcerned with structure or niceties, Barnes throttles songs about forlorn romance and wayward libido with clamant singing, an unforgiving electric guitar, and a restless harmonica. His Delta sidemen, too, are all the better for their inartistic bent. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993

When I bought this cd I was thinking about something between Frank Frost, Lightnin Slim and Big Jack Johnson. It is but much under each of them

Amazon has inserted songwriter names into the track list as if they are co-performers. While it would have been a good trick to have legends like Howlin' Wolf show up from the dead to perform on this disc, it didn't happen.

The musicians are: Roosevelt "Booba" Barnes on vocals, guitar, and harmonica; bass on different tracks provided by James Earl Franklin or Willie Miller; James "T-Model" Ford on guitar - track 4 only; and Terry Taylor on drums.
