notes

This CD is a Rockin,Modern,21th Century take on Country Blues that was born Primarily out of Great Traditional,Regional Country Blues styles .The first regions; the Mississippi Hill Country Boogie and Delta Blues.The second regions;the Cotton Country Blues and Backwood Spirituals of Central Texas.The Texas Country Blues Preacher,KM WILLIAMS,combined elements of all these styles and added his own unique Texas/Missisippi/Lousiana Country Blues Approach to compose this new CD which he calls TRUTH MUSIC. The music reflects the Funky Mississippi Hill Country Boogie of RL BURNSIDE,the Soulful Real Deal Delta Blues of ROBERT JOHNSON,the Lousiana Swamp Boogie of SLIM HARPO, the Inventive,Poetic Texas Country Blues of LIGHTNIN HOPKINS and the Deep Spiritual Groove of BLIND WILLIE JOHNSON. This CD is one of the NEW BLUES CD's that points to the future of the real blues in the 21th Century.So if you really like Modern Hill Country Blues Mix as performed on CD's recently by RL Burnside, but still a fan of the deep Traditional Country Blues of Robert Johnson and Lightnin Hopkins;THIS CD IS FOR YOU!!!

  • Not as good as live @ the Scene but still very good!
    author: Si

    This album has some of KM's hardest sounding songs - Rock my soul is fantastic I love it. Lost a star as alot of the tracks are on the Trainreck live album (live @ the Scene) and I prefer the live ones but this is still a great album.

  • The Texas Country Preacher's Hill Country Blues
    author: Mick Rainsford

    Once again, the influence of RL Burnside and Junior Kimbrough are well to the fore- The headbanging thrash of "Having a Hard Time",the churning "I'm Rollin", and the mesmerizing "Comin' Round The Bend' and " Want You To Know, are all invested with the compelling vocals,hypnotic rhythms and keening slide that characterized the Blues of both those. artists. "Street Corner Blues": has a strong "Rollin and Tumblin" feel with half whispered vocals and piercing slide riding choppy rhythms."Trouble Soon Be Over" vindicated his Preacher tag,being a haunting spiritual with a catchy ringing guitar riff(For the rest of the review, buy the latest issue of "Blues in Britain",see the above website).

  • Sounds Almost like a Fat Possum Release!
    author: Living Blues

    Williams' Latest Release is more evocative of Mississippi than the Lone Star State.Williams contributes his own drum mixes to seven of the disc's eleven tracks,meshing repetitive guitar chords and occassional slide accents to sound almost like a Fat Possum release(for the complete review by Jim DeKoster buy Issue #180 of Living Blues Magazine).
