Jimbo Mathus and His Knockdown Society - Knockdown in Nashville Live 1998 (Out of Print)

Here is a sadly out of print album from James "Jimbo" Mathus. Fans of deep blues and country blues will want to check this out. This was recorded in support of his Songs For Rosetta album, the Rosetta in question being Rosetta Patton....Charlie Patton's daughter, and Jimbo's nanny as a child (hows that for blues cred). The band includes members of North Mississippi Allstars, so fans of them will also want to check this out.

Here are some release notes from Jimbo himself:
