A Ass Pocket Of Whiskey

Q (9/96, p.110) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...Burnside matches every fuzz buzz and slide squeal with his own equally gritty axework, slugging out, ducking between, and coughing up his vocals from their phlegmy roost....The blues blister is scuffed until it burts." Alternative Press (11/96, p.70) - 5 (out of 5) - "...R.L. exhibits a raw brilliance that makes you wonder if he made a deal with the devil...And when the man shouts, "We're gonna boogie,"...you know it's not just a command but an inevitability." Option (11-12/96, p.96) - "...meaner, nastier and looser, invoking the spirit of the genre's best and leaping on grooves with a devilish ferocity....some of the most immediate, chilling music to ever make it to tape. The CD's slashing, Ginsu-styled editing...only adds to the gut-wrenching feel." Melody Maker (7/13/96, p.51) - Recommended - "...a basic, bass-less, beautifully badassed boogie that slides as easily from player to player as shit off a shovel....the sound of twin souls effortlessly chewing the fat. It fucking cooks." Mojo (Publisher) (p.55) - Ranked #88 in Mojo's "100 Modern Classics" -- "Bloody-minded and belligerent, they blow their stacks in a boogie frenzy..." NME (Magazine) (7/13/96, p.50) - 7 (out of 10) - "...it's all reassuringly dishevelled. And pretty damn funny too....It all ends...in a mangled heap of piercing Theremin, feedback guitar and some discussion as to what it actually means to have the blues..."
