If you’re into the stripped down, North Mississippi/Fat Possum sound, then Boo Boo Davis might just be for you. Chord changes here are a rarity and entire songs can consist of one vocal line repeated over and over. Even in these narrow confines, Davis has a distinct style going on. He sings like he means it, and while his harmonica playing will never be compared to Little Walter or Jimmy Reed, it serves its purpose. The band can also get a nice groove going, especially when it decides that one chord is not enough.

Money, and the need to obtain more of it, seems to be an overriding theme here. On the title track, Davis gets downright upset about his financial situation and he lets the listener know it in no uncertain way. He’s also pretty frantic explaining why he’s come down with the “Boo Boo Blues.”

One listen to this one will confirm that Boo Boo Davis is funkier than your average bluesman.
