porch in a rocking chair, telling stories as the sun goes down. As first, they seem like the old-time tales any grandfather might tell, but as the sun sets, they take on a chilling, uneasy edge. That's the effect of RL Burnside's fifth album for Fat Possum; it's unnerving, at times downright spooky. Many will wonder if the digital effects featured on 1998'sCome On Inare here as well. Yes, they are, but less obviously. While electronics and DJ scratchesare part of "Got Messed Up", their inclusion is subtle, like unearthly noises heard after dark a thousand miles from anywhere. Though there are some upbeat moments on this album, such as the uptempo "Miss Maybelle" and the satirical "Nothin' Man", for the most part this is the brand of Mississippi blues that Burnside and the late Junior Kimbrough have done so well: mournful, even somewhat bleak, with every sense of hellhounds on the trail.--Genevieve Williams
