Popa Chubby it Ain't Nothin'

With this new album the New York City blues inventor is back in force to celebrate his career of 30 years. 15 magnificent titles: tender and bestial Popa, full of rage and love, electricity and emotion. A must have for all his fans! This album is a treat because it goes through the whole range of emotions and sentiments that can be put into songs. including love, of course. For dessert, Popa Chubby covers Kiss. Not the group Kiss but the song by Prince. "Prince, really had a big influence on me.as a guitar player. There really nobody above him except maybe Hendrix. I love that song, my girl friend loved that song when I played it for her. Kiss is a blues song!" Popa Chubby is returning to the roster of the Dixiefrog label after five years of infidelity. Dixiefrog meant a lot of good for Popa Chubby and vice versa. And, as sings Popa Chubby in the middle of his new album: The best is yet to come.

Be assured that even dawning on sixty and with a career spanning more than 30 years, Popa Chubby continues to fight against the injustices of this world! And the least we can say about 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic is that it offered him the “magnificent” inspiration that fed into the creation of his new album “Tinfoil Hat”.

Popa Chubby, born Ted Horowitz, has been hard rocking the blues in his fierce and soulful way for more than 25 years. Over the course of a career that dates back to 1994, he has been a force of to be reckoned with on the guitar, and his tempestuous, soulful playing has never been more powerful. An imposing figure with a shaven head, tattooed arms, a goatee and a performance style he describes as “the Stooges meets Buddy Guy, Motörhead meets Muddy Waters, and Jimi Hendrix meets Robert Johnson," Popa Chubby is an endearing character who is one of the genre’s most popular figures.

It's not obvious from listening to it, but Popa Chubby's Big Man Big Guitar is a compilation of two live albums that were previously only available in Europe: Live at FIP and Wild. The CD is the sister title to a DVD, too, and while the release may show every sign of being a souvenir of the video, or a thrown-together hodgepodge, it isn't at all. Chubby's known for his blistering live sets, but this collection takes a risk by having a gradual dramatic arc, starting slowly with a slinky version of "Hey Joe" and working its way up to the frenzied "Keep on the Sunny Side" and "Time Is Killing Me" (consider the solo performance of "How'd a White Boy Get the Blues," a gutsy encore).
