POPA CHUBBY
The Good The Bad And The Chubby
(Blind Pig/Stony Plain)
Reviewed by John Sekerka

Popa is certainly chubby, and good, and bad. He looks bad. A mountain of a man, greasy tattoos, a tuft of what was once hair and a disturbing "I'm gonna kill you" glare. He's a also a pretty good bluesman. Makes his flying V wail, he does; everything from sombre Delta shuffles to electrifying Chicago style boogie. A touch of hiphop attitude on a coupla tracks works well, though Popa might wanna season his voice into a rougher, whisky scorched state for full effect.
