The biographically elusive Reverend Freakchild’s convincing deep-soul delivery enables him to infuse well-worn songs with an elemental juice that enlivens them in a near-transcendental manner; witness “Roll and Tumble Blues” or “Hellhound On My Trail” present here.  The Good Rev’s feral reading of the Bobbie Gentry hit “Ode To Billie Joe” is as fascinating as it might be unexpected. Appealing work from a one-of-a-kind artist.
