Call him Jim, James, Jimbo, Jas., call him what you will; all you really need to know is that he's from Mississippi, and that he plays the blues.

That's certainly all that matters on Jimbo Mathus' and Knockdown South, "Old Scool Hot Wings.  He sticks to the Delta basics here, a dirty acoustic guitar and his voice, plus a bass, but he throws in a dobro, washboard, fiddle, kazoo, even a tuba when he sees fit.

It's music like what's played on sagging front porches, thick with sweat and deep summer air that hovers stagnant and hot as calloused thumbs hit steel strings and wood.

Mathus fans will recall his performance with the popular 90s band Squirrel Nut Zippers.
