Review

A goldmine of 27 1950s and '60s obscurities from one of the lonesomest bayou blues greats ever. Filled with alternate takes and outright unissued efforts, I'm Evil reverberates with lowdown treatises that cut to the the heart and soul of the swamp. "Bad Luck," "Mean Ol' Lonesome Train, " and "Rock Me Mama" are pure, unadulterated Louisiana blues of the highest order. ~ Bill Dahl, All Music Guide
