        :: Release Notes:
        ::
        ::  Bill "Watermelon Slim" Homans sings like a baying basset,
        ::  drawing the tongue-in-cheek misery of tunes like "Hard Times"
        ::  and "Check Writing Woman" out in long, dry-mouthed syllables.
        ::  But it's the slide guitar on this, his third album, that
        ::  really howls, whether he's playing smooth and shimmery on his
        ::  original take on the Robert Johnson myth "Devil's Cadillac"
        ::  or drawing on the ghost of Elmore James on "Hard Labor." That
        ::  blend of humor--always delivered from a skewed
        ::  autobiographical perspective--and raw-boned backwoods
        ::  virtuosity makes this one of the year's more colorful blues
        ::  albums and should elevate Slim from the genre's underground.
        ::  And while his backing trio, the Workers, are a crack outfit
        ::  whose spare accompaniment beautifully frames Slim's laconic
        ::  musings, the solo "Folding Money Blues"--just Slim moaning
        ::  along with his acoustic guitar--is a high point, with Slim
        ::  telling his complaints to all the "dead presidents." He
        ::  deserves our ears, too. --Ted Drozdowski
        ::
