Review by Neil Dixon

Album Review: "Worried Blues" by Frank Hutchison & Kelly Harrell with The Tenneva Ramblers and The Blue Ridge Highballers Alright, let’s dive into this gem of an album—Worried Blues. Released in 2005 on JSP Records (UK), it’s a treasure chest of folk, world, and country tunes that feel like they’ve been pulled straight outta some dusty old barn dance or porch jam session. And honestly? It’s kinda perfect. Now, I gotta say—the sheer number of tracks here is wild. Like, seriously, there are so many songs, but don’t let that overwhelm ya. It’s not about quantity; it’s about quality, and boy does this collection deliver. Two tracks really stuck with me: “Cumberland Gap” and “Tell It To Me.” Let me break ‘em down for ya. “Cumberland Gap” has this toe-tappin’, head-noddin’ vibe that just grabs you from the first note. You can almost picture yourself stompin’ around in muddy boots at a hoedown somewhere deep in Appalachia. There’s something raw and real about how simple yet powerful the melody is—it feels like home even if you’ve never set foot near Kentucky. Plus, those harmonies? They’re the cherry on top. Honest stuff. Then there’s “Tell It To Me,” which is just cheeky as hell. This one's got sass written all over it, like someone whispering secrets behind a church pew. It’s playful, kinda mischievous, and makes you wanna lean in closer to catch every word. That mix of humor and heart keeps it stuck in your brain long after the record stops spinning. What strikes me most about Worried Blues is how timeless these songs feel. Yeah, they were recorded ages ago, but the emotions still hit hard today. Love, loss, wanderlust, regret—they’re universal themes no matter what year it is. And hearing them sung with such grit and soul gives me chills. Oh, and random thought—I didn’t realize till now how obsessed these folks were with trains. Seriously, half the songs mention railroads, wrecks, or engines blazing down the tracks. Guess back then, trains weren’t just transportation; they were metaphors for life, escape, and destiny. Pretty poetic when you think about it. So yeah, Worried Blues isn’t gonna win any Grammys (especially since it came out in 2005), but who cares? If you’re into authentic, stripped-down music that tells stories better than Netflix, this is your jam. Just don’t be surprised if you find yourself humming “Cumberland Gap” while washing dishes or randomly quoting lyrics to confused friends. Final verdict? Give it a spin. Who knows—you might end up liking it so much you’ll start wearing suspenders and calling everyone “pardner.” Stranger things have happened.
