This came out in 1998 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
For a 71-year-old bluesman from Mississippi, R.L. Burnside sure knows how to stay on the cutting edge.
In 1996, he tore it up with blooze-punk Jon Spencer; on this awesome disc, he chases the hoodoo down to the dance floor with Beck knob-twiddler Tom Rothrock. Taking up where Loser left off, Rothrock samples, loops, cuts and pastes Burnside’s raw juke-joint jive into mesmerizing, funky tracks that are primitive yet contemporary at the same time. Kind of like ol’ R.L. hisself.
