Editoral Review 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. Love him or hate him, there's no denying that Popa Chubby is here to stay. 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 ..
