What's Wrong With You
''What's Wrong with You'' is an album by the American musician Robert Belfour, released in 2000. He was 60 when the album was released. Belfour supported the album by participating in the Fat Possum Juke Joint Caravan tour. Production Belfour signed with Fat Possum after a fan spent years asking if Belfour's phone number could be relayed to the label. "Black Mattie" and "Done Got Old" were written by Junior Kimbrough, Belfour's former neighbor. Belfour used a drummer on only two tracks. Critical reception ''Billboard'' wrote that Belfour's "insistent, fluid guitar work and keening singing may remind the listener of John Lee Hooker at times, but his strong, original songs ... and a hypnotic style that betrays his North Mississippi roots, establish him firmly in a class by himself." The ''Winston-Salem Journal'' determined that "it is impossible not to hear John Lee Hooker, Fred McDowell and Charlie Patton in Belfour's vocal phrasing and his delightfully eclectic guitar playing."

Robert Belfour
Robert "Wolfman" Belfour (September 11, 1940 – February 24, 2015) was an American blues musician. He was born in Red Banks, Mississippi. When he was a child, his father, Grant Belfour, taught him to play the guitar, and he continued his tutelage in the blues from the musicians Otha Turner, R. L. Burnside, and Junior Kimbrough. Kimbrough, in particular, had a profound influence on him. His music was rooted in Mississippi hill country traditions, in contrast to Delta blues. His playing was characterized by a percussive attack and alternate tunings. When Belfour was thirteen, his father died, and music was relegated to what free time he had, as his energy went to helping his mother provide for the family. In 1959, he married Noreen Norman and moved to Memphis, Tennessee, where he worked in construction for the next 35 years. In the 1980s, Belfour began playing on Beale Street. Eight of his songs are included on the musicologist David Evans's compilation album ''The Spirit L ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
