 Scraping the barrel? November 23, 2008
Having heard Bobby Charles' "Small Town Talk" from his Bearsville LP as a cult hit in London in the early 1970s I've followed his recorded career avidly - tracking down obscure releases on the many labels that Rice n 'Gravy. has contracted with. This his latest, now on his own Rice n' Gravy label (as opposed to licensed to Stony Plain, Proper or Bogalusa) is a disappointment - the singing is soporific rather than laid back and the sonics between the tracks leave much to be desired. The 1950s recording of "But I Do" is sonically better than the 2008 version and listening to "Football Blues" maybe the suggestion of another reviewer of Bobby singing his tax returns would've been a good idea. Nothing on this CD reaches half the level of professionalism and sheer joy as "I Wonder" on Last Train To Memphis.

The temptation here is to use all sorts of Swamp/Americana cliches extolling what a great CD this is ("a modern swamp classic,etc."). Instead, as one who would buy a CD of Bobby singing his tax-returns, I will say, go out and buy this album now!!! You'll dig it.
