Our Take

In the grand tradition of misunderstood bluesmen making their mark across the pond, Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup's Mean Ole Frisco makes its debut in British English, with all the sass and swagger one would expect from a seasoned musician.

From the moment the first riff of "That's All Right" kicks in, you know you're in for a rollicking good time. Crudup's gravelly vocals carry the weight of decades spent honing his craft, adding a layer of authenticity and depth to each track.

Songs like "I'm Gonna Dig Myself a Hole" and "Black Pony Blues" showcase Crudup's ability to blend traditional blues elements with a modern edge, creating a timeless sound that feels both familiar and fresh.

The production on Mean Ole Frisco is top-notch, with each instrument shining through in its own right without overpowering Crudup's vocals. The result is a crisp, vibrant sound that draws you in and keeps you hooked from start to finish.

But it's not all serious business on this album. Tracks like "Shout, Sister, Shout" and "Star Bootlegger" inject a healthy dose of humor and playfulness into the mix, reminding listeners that even in the darkest of times, there's always room for a good laugh.

In conclusion, Mean Ole Frisco is a delightful romp through the world of blues music, with Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup leading the way with style and panache. So sit back, pour yourself a stiff drink, and let the good times roll with this essential addition to your music collection.
