Too Bad Jim is cut from the same cloth as its predecessor, Bad Luck City. It 
features R.L. Burnside fronting a small juke joint combo, tearing through some 
greasy blues. However, Too Bad Jim is the better album, simply from a 
performance standpoint. Burnside sounds more relaxed and the band steps back 
from the spotlight slightly, letting the guitarist burn brightly on his own, 
showcasing his deep blues roots.
