Format: Audio CD
James. Jas. Hambone. Jimmy the Kid. Kap'n Katfish. Jimbo.

Over the years Jimbo Mathus' nickname has changed as frequently as the musical genres of his albums and the number of musicians that have backed him up.

Just check out this discography:

- "Play Songs for Rosetta" (Jas. Mathus and His Knockdown Society), Oct. 21, 1997 - The folk roots benefit album for Rosetta Patton that features a vast ensemble of musicians.
- "National Antiseptic" (James Mathus & His Knockdown Society), Oct. 16, 2001 - The swamp boogie album.
- "Stop and Let the Devil Ride" (James Mathus Knockdown Society), June 17, 2003 - The blues album.
- "Knockdown South" (Jimbo Mathus Knockdown South), January 25, 2005 - The soul album with his Knockdown South band.
- "Old Scool Hot Wings" (Jas. Mathus), May 30, 2006 - Another folk roots album recorded with a vast ensemble of musicians.
- "Jimmy the Kid" (Jimbo Mathus), August 18, 2009 - The country rock album.
- "Confederate Buddha" (Jimbo Mathus), May 24, 2011 - The album that can't be pegged into one genre. First album with Jimbo's new full-time band, the Tri-State Coalition.

"Confederate Buddha" marks the first album recorded with the Tri-State Coalition, a collection of like-minded, dedicated musicians who have taken a solemn vow to play along with Jimbo for the foreseeable future.

How like-minded? Justin Showah, bassist and backup vocals, is owner at Hill Country Records, the label that released Jimbo's previous effort "Jimmy the Kid." The label is a beacon for the region's culture and music, putting on the annual Hill Country Festival and promoting other artists like Eric Deaton (who was a part of Knockdown South with Jimbo in the mid-00's).

Jimbo Mathus is extremely prolific and his music is very real. It varies from Delta Blues to real country (not like "Sears" country). His new cd, Confederate Buddha will be released Memphis International on May 24. This cd is a mixture of everything that comes out of the swamp. Don't put the cd on with expectations from any of the prior cd's. Every one is different and that is good. It isn't like he's all over the map. It's more like he just loves good music and plays what he likes. Jimbo indicates that the idea behind the title germinated from his interest in regional folklore and artforms. "I got the (Alan) Lomax book [The Land Where the Blues Began] and found myself going where he went and those same places, the same churches are still there and I was finding these weird country people who are backwoods bodhisattvas - oracles, rural sages who are so wise and of the past projecting an image of both peace and rebellion."

It flows beautifully. The first track, Jimmy The Kid, highlighted in the attached video is a good example of this.

The entire cd is filled with great solid writing and nicely articulated riffs.

Track 4, Town With No Shame, and Track 8, Aces and Eights are straight out of the honky tonk and if you grew up in a small town this will make you homesick...unless you like Star Search country.

Track 5, Leash My Pony and Track 10, Kine Joe sound like Jimbos blend of the swamp blues...just love it.

Track 11, Shady Dealing, is a real crap kicker. I think everyone will like it.

The latest from Jimbo Mathus feels like a sequel to his last album Jimmy the Kid (indeed, Confederate Buddha features a new version of the title track from that album). Nonetheless, it is a well-deserved sequel that shows Mathus working with a great backing band, the Tri-State Coalition.

It's a great southern blues/rock/country/honky tonky album that is great march through different styles you might hear in a backwood joint in Northern Missisippi. Its meant as a compliment to say this is a great bar band -- the kind of band you see on a hot night with cold beer with a great vibe. You might never have heard a song but they all sound like you know them somehow. There isn't a bad track on the album but the stand outs are "Cling to the Roots," "Town With No Shame," "Aces and Eights," and "Kine Joe."

A bit more country (and not really alt-country) than I thought it would be. I was sort of expecting a bit more blues. OK just the same and at least half of it is going on the iPod. If you are into blues and roots and not stuck in a musical rut you will enjoy it.
