Too Bad Jim is cut from the same cloth as its predecessor, Bad Luck City. It features
R.L. Burnside fronting a small juke joint combo, tearing through some greasy blues. However,
Too Bad Jim is the better album, simply from a performance standpoint.
Burnside sounds more relaxed and the band steps back from the spotlight slightly, letting the guitarist burn brightly on his own, showcasing his deep blues roots. ~ Thom Owens
