Love him or hate him, there's no denying that Popa Chubby is here to stay. On his second album for Blind Pig, Chubby focuses his Bronx-fueled, rock-and-hip-hop-inflected blues on the political climate of 21st Century America. Along with the newfound maturity of his subject matter, Chubby has also grown as a musician. While this CD is in some ways his least personal yet, his own experiences shine through in the opinions he expresses on tracks like "Un-American Blues" and "The Man on the News." Chubby is gradually but surely developing a more sophisticated, accessible style--without losing the brash attitude that has made him so effective in the first place. The blues has always been about expressing harsh realities, and Chubby continues in that fine tradition. --Genevieve Williams

"If Muddy Waters was a modern blues artist, then Popa Chubby is a post-modern bluesman."

<"b00020w0jm4999"> Album Description
The King of The New York City Blues returns with what's destined to be one of the most topical and important records of 2004. Twelve tracks of hard hitting, politically inspired songs that run from upholding our first amendment rights in the hard thumping shuffle "Un-American Blues," to protesting the plight of young people dying for the lust of oil and power in "Young Men." Highlights also include "The Top Ten Reasons Why I Can't Sleep At Night," and a high-velocity, hard rock version of the Carter Family classic "Keep On The Sunny Side of Life." In a recent interview Popa was asked, "Where is the outrage in America? Where is the anger over the violation of our rights as Americans and human beings?" Popa simply responded "It is here, and people are waiting for a rallying call, a way and a reason to stand up for their rights as Americans. A way to stand up against the current policies of those in power that do not take in account that America is built on the sweat of the working class."
