This CD is fantastic. The music is passionate, with a fun, loose "back porch" sound and ambience (a few songs remind me strongly of the infamous Basement Tapes sessions by The Band & Bob Dylan, which I adore as well). It's saying something when Mathus' new originals rival the great blues standards on this disc...I would even say I prefer the new songs. Don't Make Me Wait, Turkey Buzzard, Who'll Sop My Gravy and others are fun and truly infectious. Any blues fan or Zippers fan or fan of any kind of high-energy music will love this one...don't pass it by.

This is a great delta blues album in which all proceeds go to the daughter of the great Delta blues musician Charlie Patton, who is in bad health. Graced by members of the Squirrel Nut Zippers, Bowl Of Fire, North Mississippi All-stars, and many other fine musicians. One of the best albums of the year! Also, stay tuned for another Knockdown Society album coming soon.

Man, I love this cd, especially Mississippi Moan, Memphis Bound, and Turkey Buzzard in a Pork Pie Hat. These are some of the coolest guys you could ever hope to meet, and they have some great music, too. Here's hoping they make it back to P-cola.

We actually had a tape of this that we wore out. We had to buy the cd. I love it and have listened to it regularly for 6 years now.

I listen to this CD over and over. They were great live. The turkey buzzard song is the best!
