When I read the description of this album, a one-man bass drum stomping, harmonica blowing, lapsteel playing Blues assault, I knew I'd like it. I didn't expect it to be quite as intense as it is. This isn't your Howlin' Wolf type of blues. This is Blues after it dropped acid and ate a bag of shrooms.
I never imagined so much energy could come out of one man and a whole band's worth of instruments. Honkeyfinger is an excellent display of lapsteel guitar and blues created with an interesting and amazing twist. The kind of shit you'd find playing in some hole-in-the-wall dive in Alabama. No frills and no bullshit. Fuzzed out, intense vocals and full of energy. Just check it out. Everyone. There's no reason not to.
