​Bobby Rush (from the album Rawer Than Raw available on Deep Rush Records) 
Bobby Rush has a lot of love to go around with his recent release, Rawer Than Raw. Bobby’s adopted home state of Mississippi is tributed on the album through the songs of some of its favored musical sons. The acoustic album goes back to Blues pioneers such as Skip James (“Hard Times”) and Robert Johnson (“Dust My Broom”), nodding to Bobby Rush contemporaries Howlin’ Wolf (“Smokestack Lightning”) and Sonny Boy Williamson III (“Don’t Start Me Talking”). Bobby Rush moved to Jackson, Mississippi in the 1980’s with family connections going back several generations in the state. The album was from his heart, Bobby recalling that ‘although I was born in Louisiana, I’m proud to call Mississippi home. I’m saluting Mississippi guys because they, to me, stayed truest to their roots. If you want to get the real deal of the Blues, get it from the Bluesmen who are from Mississippi. Whether they migrated somewhere else like Chicago or Beverly Hills, if they are from Mississippi you can hear the deep roots of Mississippi in their stories’.
 
Opening Rawer Than Raw on his own composition, Bobby Rush strips backing to his harmonica and footstomp for “Down in Mississippi”. The cut joins four other original tunes from Bobby Rush on Rawer Than Raw, the beat tapping out against picked six strings in “Let Me in Your House” while mortality is framed by sharp notes for “Sometimes I Wonder” and morning answers a wake-up with “Let’s Make Love Again”.
