Review

Boom Chang is guitarist Steve James' fourth release overall but his debut for Burnside Records. This acoustic roots and blues disc features guest appearances from bassist Mark Rubin of the Bad Livers (playing tuba!), Alvin Youngblood Hart on guitar and mandolin, Cindy Cashdollar on Hawaiian guitar and Dobro, and harp master Gary Primich. The mood on these 14 tracks is raw and fun from James' rewriting of Stack Lee's "Blues to Country Fool" originally by Delta bluesman Bo Carter to the jugband workout on the original "Saturday Night in Jail." ~ Al Campbell, All Music Guide
