Unique and unusual combination of dual vocals, dual guitars and rock-solid driving rhythm section delivers the kind of raw, hypnotic and gritty sound you’d expect to only hear in a North Mississippi juke joint.
The Too Bad Jims got their name after an RL Burnside album on Fat Possum titled "Too Bad Jim", and formed in January 2023 as a collaboration between two veteran and multiple award-winning musicians Little Victor and Son Jack Jr. They play a gritty high-octane mix of North Mississippi Hill Country blues and boogie. After a few months, they decided to add veteran drummer Nick Simonon from The Mighty Lo-Fi Kings to their duo and things started to really get cookin'.
High Octane North Mississippi Hill Country Blues!
