AMG Review of Booty and the Beast
Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music GuidePopa Chubby's major-label debut album is an inspiring set of energetic, gut-bucket lues-rock, filled with exceptional playing. Chubby has soul, even if he doesn't quite cut it as a songwriter; there aren't many songs that are inventive or memorable. But as an instrumental workout, Booty and the Beast is terrific. Using the lues as a basic foundation, Popa Chubby spins off into new directions, incorporating bits of ock and jazz to his forceful playing. His guitar playing is what makes the album a promising debut.
