Papa Mali:
According to legend, Thunder Chicken is the moniker for
a kind of fortified wine that helped Malcolm 'Papa Mali' Welbourne
evolve, from his early years as a crazy music-freak kid with
a six-string slung over his shoulder to the swamp-funk-hoodoo-
slide-guitar-choogler he's become. Along with his smoking band,
he concocts a back-alley brand of Louisiana parade sass that
meets bluesy Austin, Texas grit in a gumbo of the deeply greasy
variety; it becomes something joyfully lusty and intoxicating in its
own right. Thunder Chicken is a beautiful dose of voodoo blues
and raucous pumped up Southern funk and roll. Produced by the
Dan Prothero, the true king of raw, Thunder Chicken is one of the
few truly wild and unruly records to come from the rock & roll
tradition in the 21st century.
