Our Take

BIG MAMA THORNTON's latest album "Jailin" is a deliciously wild ride through the swampy depths of Southern blues. From the first guttural growl that escapes Thornton's lips, you know you're in for a musical journey like no other.

The album kicks off with the raucous title track, "Jailin", a foot-stomping, head-banging anthem that sets the tone for what's to come. Thornton's powerful vocals cut through the gritty guitar riffs like a knife through butter, leaving you breathless and begging for more.

Tracks like "Sweet Little Angel" and "Hound Dog" showcase Thornton's versatility as a vocalist, effortlessly switching between soulful crooning and full-throttle wailing. The band's musicianship is on full display here, with each member bringing their A-game to the table.

But it's on the haunting ballad "Ball and Chain" where Thornton truly shines. Her voice is raw and vulnerable, drawing you in with every heart-wrenching note. You can almost feel the pain and longing in her voice, making it impossible not to be moved.

In the end, "Jailin" is a triumph for BIG MAMA THORNTON, solidifying her status as one of the greatest blues singers of our time. So grab a glass of whisky, turn up the volume, and let yourself be transported to a world where the blues reign supreme. You won't regret it.
