Recorded in 1996 at Lunati Farms, Holly Springs, MS.

Raw, minimalistic blues-rock with a punk attitude, the brothers Bauer welcome you to a "Place Called Hell."
Like Fat Possum's straight blues releases, this has an almost documentary rehearsal production feel, with bashing drums that never settle into definite rhythms, harsh and often hard-to-decipher vocals, and frequent one-chord grooves.
Fife drum patterns are heard in a few tunes, but despite the title they're a pretty minor ingredient in the overall album. The vocals have some real weathered passion and the blues guitar riffs aren't bad, but it does get monotonous, even grating, to mostly hear variations on one pissed-off song.
