A nostalgic blues artist.
Tour Dates: https://thundertownmusic.com/too-bad-jims-live The Too Bad Jims got their name from the seminal Fat Possum album "Too Bad Jim" by the hugely influential blues musician RL Burnside. The band plays a gritty high-octane mix of North Mississippi Hill Country blues and boogie. It all initially started as a casual collaboration between two veteran and multiple award-winning musicians, Little Victor and Son Jack Jr. and they shortly after rounded out the trio with the one and only Nick Simonon (Brother of Paul Simonon of The Clash) on drums and things really started cookin’! Their unique and unusual combination of dual rough and ready vocals, bare-bones electric guitars, slashing bottleneck, and a heavily rhythm-oriented groove, delivers a hypnotic, raw, and earthy sound typical of a North Mississippi juke joint. "...absolutely scorching..." Living Blues Magazine "A remarkable three-piece ... they represent the real essence of blues music, unfiltered and immediate" Blues Matters Magazine "...relentlessly upbeat..." Blues Blast Magazine (USA) "the Too Bad Jims give the slogan “keeping the blues alive” fresh meaning" Blues Roadhouse "a timely reminder of how good Mississippi blues can be" Blues in Britain
