Three-piece blues trio delivers raw North Mississippi blues
A remarkable three-piece blues band delivering a gritty, high-octane mix of North Mississippi Hill Country blues and boogie.
The Too Bad Jims got their name from the seminal Fat Possum album 'Too Bad Jim' by RL Burnside. The band plays a gritty high-octane mix of North Mississippi Hill Country blues and boogie. Their unique and unusual combination of dual rough and ready vocals, bare-bones electric guitars, slashing bottleneck, and a heavily rhythm-oriented groove delivers a hypnotic, raw, and earthy sound typical of a North Mississippi juke joint.
Much loved 200-capacity venue in Cambridge, UK.
