WATEMELON SLIM & The Workers/No Paid Holidays: Two albums ago, it seemed like this was some kind of joke that grew out of the minds that made Frank Zappa and Tom Waits possible, but it was for real. Real for real. Heading into album three with a ton of awards, nominations and recognition, guests like Lee Roy Parnell lend a hand and the proceedings take white boy blues to the next level of the game, a level that isn’t frequently attained. A blistering , heartfelt set that goes someplace totally unexpected, you can call it blues, but it’s now become Watermelon Slim music. A wild ride that you really have to take.
