Popa Chubby - Emotional Gangster (2022) [CD Rip]

Twelve new tracks featuring the Chubbfatha on many instruments and doing all the mixing and recording duties. "This record definitely reflects happier times and good solid dose of classic blues!", says Popa from his studio full of guitars in the Hudson Valley. "l specifically included covers like Hoochie Coochie Man and Dust My Broom to show respect for the Fathers. Willie Dixon has always been my idol, you know."

But the real gems here come in Popa's original compositions. "Equal Opportunity" is a light hearted sing along that celebrates the feminine at a time when ii is seriously needed. And songs like "Fly Away" and both versions
French and English of "Why You Wanna Make War?" Are big standouts! There is more than an ample amount of pure guitar bliss on this record and slide guitar on tracks like "Tonight I'm Gonna Be the Man" add flavor to a savory mix!

For an added bonus, Harmonica Wizard Jason Ricci joins Popa on the Blues Rock anthem "New Way of Walking" and the swing shuffte "Save the Best for Last".

This record is indeed made in the spirit of new shoes!
A new way of walking. lt's created with the intention of moving forward to an old truth and a new reality that all are appreciated for the unique energeticcontribution they bring to our collective life.
Love is all there is.

I love you all ~Papa Chubby 2022
