I remember having this shit, or listening to this shit, on an old hi-fi with a mate...the guitar was coming out of one speaker and the vocals out of the other, proper basic but brilliant little album, if slightly unrepresentative of where he was at as an artist at the time, as evidenced by how much of a fuckin' leap the next album was.  Its a weird thing, hearing this young almost fat faced Jewish boy from Minnesota sing these old time black guys stuff (not that its all blues by any stretch) and yet bring something to it.  Unique.  I'm a die hard purist as you know, often to be heard going 'nyaaah the originals better' but ol' Bobby Boy really had something.  Still does.  He's really something quite amazing in the sphere of popular music.  I mean Nobel Prize for Literature?  Fuuuuuuuuuuckin' hell boy.  Thats like fuckin' Hemingway level.  I'm about as irreverent a person as you could wish to find but fuckin' hats off to this guy.
