Album Notes

This collaboration marks the reunion of two dedicated Bluesmen.

Slapback Jack and Bad Voodoo played together some 30 years ago and this reunion sees them performing better than ever.

They have introduced a unique and subtle style of humor to their music, by downplaying the "Bad Times...Sad Times", sometimes associated with the Blues, and adding a lighter-side tone to this much respected genre.

Many Blues styles are covered in this album, including Electric and Acoustic influences from Texas all the way down to the Mississippi Delta and the Louisiana swamps.

You'll hear a mix of Blues Harmonica's, Acoustic Jumbo's, Telecasters, Dobro's, Acoustic and Electric Basses, and the ever present "Low Down, Gruff and Gritty" smoke stained,whiskey soaked voice of Slapback Jack.

"Pass the Jack, let's git gruff and play some Blues!!"

I have been looking for a sound close to the late John Campbell, these ole boys have a kickin ass CD and have soothed the sound I was looking for quite some time. Wicked sound, Wicked voice, Wicked songs, Wicked guitar, Voodoo for sure. I love to play "Bluesman with a callin" over and over.

The Dennis Hays Podcast Interview with the artists brings a whole new dimension

I bought the album after hearing some of the songs as downladable MP3 files and enjoyed them enough to buy the album.  I visited the Houndawg music site and found the Podcast interview with Dennis Hays which adds a completely different perspecitve to the musicians, the music and it's roots.  Not only was it very educational, but it gave me a much better appreciation of the music and lyrics!
