Performer Notes

Personnel: Popa Chubby (vocals, guitar, synthesizer, percussion).
Recording information: Serpentine Studios, NY; The Spirit Of 66, Verviers, Belgium.
Photographer: Galea Horowitz.
His first album since 2008's Vicious Country, The Fight Is On still finds Popa Chubby in a combative mood, slowing things down a little bit for a stroll down memory lane on the acoustic "Switchblade Combs and Candy Cigarettes," but primarily pounding out heavy blues-rock that leaves plenty of room for him to solo. More than most recent Chubby albums, this is rock-oriented in its riffs and solos -- he goes so far as to tag on a live cover of Mot”rhead's "Ace of Spades" at the end -- but the album is still given a contemporary blues production, so there's just a bit too much air and cleanliness to the sonics. Still, Chubby's playing is spirited, and his aggressive tunes can be forcefully ingratiating. ~ Stephen Thomas Erelewine

Professional Reviews

Living Blues (p.48) - "Chubby unleashes a heavy boogie on `The Company Of Thieves,' pushing the ferocity to near exhaustive levels."
