Audio Mixer: Bruce Watson . Audio Remixers: Scott Benzel; Jim Waters. Recording information: Money Shot, Oxford, MS. Photographer: Matthew Johnson. Arranger: T-Model Ford. T Model Ford's YOU BETTER KEEP STILL is an even more stripped-down proceeding than its predecessor, PEE WEE GET MY GUN, as the keyboards and second guitar of the earlier record are often jettisoned the in favor of stark solo blues. In addition, Ford's voice and guitar are often accompanied only by the simple, low-key drums of his bandmate Spam. The remix of this album's "Here Comes Papa" fleshes out the sound a bit, into something akin to R.L. Burnside's recordings with the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, but the most effective songs here are the simplest. There's the two-part "If I Had Wings," which brackets the album, as well as the rollicking "Catfish," which sounds not at all unlike some of Son House's Library of Congress recordings. Despite the tongue-in-cheek nicknames of the bandmembers, YOU BETTER KEEP STILL is dead-serious blues.
