Studio album by The Gun Club frontman Jeffrey Lee Pierce released as Ramblin' Jeffrey Lee & Cypress Grove with Willie Love. Jeffrey Lee plays guitar and sings together with guitarist Cypress Love and drummer Willie Love. Carl La Fong isn't credited as primary artist but he plays bass. The majority of the tracks are cover versions of classic 'blues' songs written by various artists (including Don Nix, Willie Brown, and Chester Burnett). The songs are all well-played and cleverly arranged, and despite the fact that the 'blues' isn't really my kinda style, this is quite originally sounding with a lot of genuine heartfelt craftsmanship to it, so to ignore it would be a shame. I like it, It's gooood.
