Popa Chubby, the fat bluesman with the ribald moniker, is way more famous here in France than he is almost anywhere else in the world, and I've seen him sell out some pretty big venues. This wasn't the case here, probably because it's the middle of summer, we're just coming down from a heatwave, and he packed the Olympia less than ten months ago. If, like me, you're into overdriven guitars, pentatonic licks, reverent readings of classic songs, stretched-out blues jams and singers so fat they can't stand up then you'll love this guy. Check out some pics and a video HERE.

I vaguely remember him from when he 1st made the rounds in the 90s. Never had any interest. If I want to pay to see a fat blues gitbox player, I'll go to a Kingfish show 1st.

Hell yeah, Kingfish is great! He just played here a few weeks ago, I would have gone but I was on vacation... That being said, Popa Chubby is very cool as well. Check out the Booty and the Beast album, produced by Tom Dowd. It's good shit.
