We Say...
While electric Delta bluesman Big Jack Johnson normally has unimpeachable credentials for purists, this threw 'em for a loop. Sure, that husky voice remains strong and convincing. And his rhythm guitar, which has also been known to careen out into the Hendrix Zone when he solos, is still jagged enough to draw blood. But what's with the original songs about wife-beating, AIDS, airline hassles and the economy? And is that a synthesizer, fer Chrissakes, fattening some arrangements?

They Say...
The precise opposite of the Mississippi guitarist's previous Earwig release. This one's slick, horn-leavened, and full of downhome ruminations on everything from AIDS and spousal abuse to Chinese blues musicians. Too weird for some purists, but definitely engaging in its singular approach.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
