"You Don't Know What I Know." Fat Possum. 11 tracks.

Grade: B-

It's hot out there, baby. Real hot. You know whatcha need, don'tcha? You need some blues in your life. Just put it on and sit down. You don't have to move much. Just tap a foot.

This guy Little Freddie King, he's alright. Nothing fancy. Small band. Some decent guitar picking. Bit ol' harmonica. Song called "Crack Head Joe." You'll like that one.

Pay no mind to the "Chicken Dance" remix, whatever that is. Stick to the real stuff. "Hot Fingers," that's a good one. "Dig A Hole," too.

My favorite? That's easy. Longest song on the album. Just bops right along. Called "Tough Frog to Swallow." Don't make me explain it to you.
