An unstoppable, relentless, full-volume downpour of funk: this is what you’ll find in the 2016 album by Bobby Rush (stage name of Emmit Ellis Jr.), entitled “Porcupine Meat”.
Born in Homer (north Louisiana, United States) in 1940, over the course of his career singer and multi-instrumentalist Bobby Rush has released a fair share of records characterized by tight rhythms and energetic sounds.
“Porcupine Meat” features guest appearances by Joe Bonamassa (on the guitar in “Me, Myself And I”), Keb’ Mo’ (on the guitar in “Nighttime Gardener”) and Dave Alvin (in “It’s Your Move”).
