You won't find any artist out there like Bob Log. If you have ever seen the movie deliverance you will remember the famous "dueling banjos" scene. Rumours are going around that the little weird lookin country critter boy who plays the banjo is none other than Bob Log in his early teens trying to crack the hollywood bigtime. So ugly that he is forced to wear a helmet for marketing aesthetics now. I'll tell you right now. This is a lie. If Bob log III was really playing the banjo that day all those campers (including/especially reynolds) would have burst into hot hot flames then and there. Bob log would have ripped them a wider one than any hillbilly hick ever could.

This album Kicks. If you ever get to see Bob live then do it. After seeing him live twice now I feel like Ive actually achieved something in my life.

This is his most commercial release thus far and if you like something thats strange but makes you wanna wiggle, then I recommend this album. I only pray he keeps touring.

Bob Lob once again brings the dirty slide guitar and leaves the class at the door. Log Bomb opens with the infectious "Log Bomb" and alternates between pulsating grooves and break-neck slide for the rest of the album. This album has a little more soul and bass then Bob's previous two albums allowing for wonderful repeat listening and rocking out to the amazing slide licks. Even though Bob Log can be characterized at best as "eccentric" he actually is a AMAZING slide guitar player and performer. "Log Bomb" continues to showcase one of the most unique and authentic rockers the music industry has to offer today.

This is a CD you'l want to play over and over again. while his first two Cds are Rather Indesipherable, on this album Log removes the distortion from his vocals. This lets you enjoy his lyrics. Plus, with such sexually explicit and just plain crude lyrics how can you not like this guy? Plus his slide playing sounds great. He shows what an amazing slide player he actually is. Song's like "Bubble Strut" and "Make You Say Wow!" are definite vocal highlights. Log Shows how fast he can actually play on "Slide Guitar ride Junior", Lays out a nice Drunken Groove On "Drunk Stripper", and Seamlessly shifts rythems on "F-Hole Parade". Plus he has some great Lyrics on "Boob Scotch" and "Wag Your tail like a dog in Back of a Truck". This is definatly on of my most played albums.

Fat Possum is noted for pushing the envelope by finding musicians that sit on the fringe of the blues. Bob Log III is one of those on the extreme outer edge mixing blues with punk with the emphasis on punk. Bob Log III plays slide guitar, drums, vocals and wrote all of the songs. His dad Bob Log Jr. pitches in on Kazoo while "Pancake" supplies the backup vocals. The tunes have a certain sameness to them resulting in, what seems like anyway, one long 35 minute jam. What's here what appeal to traditional blues fans or even those not so traditional but it is interesting listening nonetheless.
