5.0 out of 5 stars five stars is an understatement... superlative, July 4, 2000

upon the first listen to "what's wrong with you" i knew that this was one of those albums that never would get old. from the first note, you know that you are embarking on a one-in-a-million musical journey. if you're a mississippi blues fan, there is no excuse to pass this up. there isn't a weak moment; even the two tracks with drums ("my baby's gone," "what's wrong with you") are understated and, well, spooky. the guitar work is ethereal and obviously the product of genius, esp. on tracks 2 & 4. (a brief aside: i've tried to figure out his tunings, including asking sources at his label, and THEY haven't figured it out.) you won't hear anything this original for a long, long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Belfour is your man, August 20, 2001

Of all the top-notch albums put out by Fat Possum, Robert Belfour's What's Wrong With You is second only to Junior Kimbrough's All Night Long (which I think is one of the top 25 Blues albums of all-time). Robert Belfour has it all: Hypnotic, yet intricate guitar work, a highly expressive voice, perfect timing, and a real feel for the power of nuance and understatement. If you are into the work of Junior Kimbrough, Lightnin' Hopkins and Mississippi Fred McDowell, then Robert Belfour is your man.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mean-ass Mississippi blues, June 17, 2000

This review is from: What's Wrong With You (Audio CD)

There's been a voodoo shortage in the Mississippi hills since bluesman Junior Kimbrough died two years ago. But Robert Belfour evokes some of the same dark, roiling spirits with the slithery guitar lines of Bad Luck and other numbers on this debut CD.
