Little Howlin Wolf - Brave Nu World
Brave Nu World is a good example of the old saying “The sum is better than its parts”. Little Howlin Wolf aka James Pobeiga plays all the instruments on the album, none of them very well. His guttural voice is an acquired taste, not so much like his namesake but a weird combination of Captain Beefheart and Leon Redbone. LHW’s real talents is in mixing and over-dubbing, making all these elements meld into something different and interesting. I really dig the blues number “I’m Shufflin” and “Last Double Edge”. The strange avant-garde “Eulb”, “Astral Blue” and “Blue Coochology” moves into outsider territory. However my favorite track “Big Ole Bear” takes the album home and back into the artist’s individual interpretation of the blues. This is a odd but riveting album.
Brave Nu World is freely available from Ehse records in 160kbps MP3. If you enjoy the music support the artist by buying the higher quality sound CD.
maybe this is good album
