Groundhog Blues Club in memory of Tony McPhee are proud to present Too Bad Jims on October 1st, Wrekin inn, Wellington, Telford, Shropshire. Music starts 7:30 - 10:00. Supported by Diamond River Band. Suggested Donation of £5 on Door. Thanks to our sponsor The Wrekin Inn.
Named for the album Too Bad Jim by the hugely influential blues musician RL Burnside. The band plays a gritty high-octane mix of North Mississippi Hill Country blues and boogie.
Their combination of dual rough and ready vocals, bare-bones electric guitars, bottleneck, and a heavily rhythm-oriented groove, delivers a hypnotic, earthy sound typical of a North Mississippi juke joint.
After relocating to the London area from Seattle, Son Jack Jr had been in touch with Little Victor Mac following Victor's glory days with Louisiana Red in the late 2000’s.
The guys have a strong connection, Victor having played with RL Burnside, Robert Belfour, Jessie Mae Hemphill. Burnside himself showed Victor how to play many of his songs.
With the addition of drummer Nick Simonon (yes there is a Clash connection), who has played with Pearl Harbour and toured with The Clash, The B-52's and Talking Heads. They released a killer album Over The Hill - A Tribute To RL Burnside...
