Bothered Mind ... LP 
Fat Possum, 2004. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Gritty revival blues from RL Burnside – and a record that really broke his music into a wider audience! Of course, it helps that the set features guest appearances from Kid Rock and Lyrics Born – the latter we enjoy more than the former – but the overall vibe is still very much ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Long Distance Call – Europe 1982 (silver smoke vinyl pressing) ... LP Fat Possum, 1982. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Wonderful live work from RL Burnside – done in that instantly-timeless style that he brought to recordings right from the start – maybe even more so here, as the acoustics are fantastic, and really capture the spirit of the man and his guitar!

Late work from RL Burnside – done in that raw, raspy style that really helped set fire to the second half of his career!

Fat Possum, 1969/1971. New Copy ... $15.99 22.99
Rare work from the legendary Honeyboy Edwards – a blues guitarist who was a key force in helping the music make the transition to an electric mode in the 40s – but an artist whose talents were eclipsed by so many others he worked with at the time!

Fat Possum/Big Legal Mess, 1989. New Copy ... $13.99 18.99
Jessie Mae Hemphill might look like an 80s blues artist on the cover, but the record's got a much more vintage vibe – as the set features field recordings done on New Years Eve in 1989, with Jessie Mae singing in a style that seems geared to ring in the year with the ghosts of the past! The ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Amazing stuff from the Converted Mind of Bishop Manning and his family!
