“Dirty South Blues is an album you simply must hear. Mentored by the last of the Bentonia, Mississippi bluesmen Jimmy "Duck" Holmes, Farr & co. have produced a masterpiece... as a lyricist, Farr has a John Prine approach… as a singer... Gregg Allman… this is blues that originated in Mississippi.”

Robert Connely Farr presents: Mississippi Mud

Cool name of the song ! Mud, blues and garage guitar rock

Robert Connely Farr is a songwriter from Bolton Mississippi, hometown of musical legends Charley Patton, Sam Chatmon, Bo Carter & Walter Vinson.

In Bentonia (just up the road from Bolton) bluesman Jimmy “Duck” Holmes has mentored Farr in a particular form of Delta Blues called the Bentonia Blues. Holmes learned this regional style directly from Henry Stuckey, who also mentored the renowned bluesman “Skip” James.

In 2018, entranced by the obscure tuning and haunting melodies of Jimmy’s teachings, Robert recorded and released his full length “Dirty South Blues” to immediate critical acclaim. KEXP named it one of their top albums of the year and Farr was nominated for both Songwriter of the Year & New Artist of the Year by Canada’s prestigious Maple Blues Awards. 

In 2019, Farr took his band down to play Jimmy “Duck” Holmes’ Bentonia Blues Festival; it proved to be a seminal experience for the group. High off the vibe of the festival, they came back to Vancouver to start recording; it was then Robert received an unexpected cancer diagnosis & emergency surgery. 

After recovery from surgery Farr hit the ground running, rapidly releasing 3 albums culminating in his fantastic sixteen track brainchild, “Country Supper”. With a sustained buzz from critics and fans alike, “Country Supper” went on to garner scores of glowing reviews and by the end of the year, receive numerous placements on 'Best of 2020' lists.

“Shake It” is Robert Connely Farr’s ninth studio album. With the help of his band, “The Dirty Dirty” (drummer Jay Bundy Johnson, and bassist Tom Hillifer) Farr delivers compelling sonic landscapes; his gravelly voice and howling guitar tell of swamps packed with catfish while spirits dance in the sky. 

Over nine blistering tracks (clocking in at a tight 30 minutes), “Shake It” opens with two covers from Farr’s mentors – Charley Patton’s ‘Screaming & Hollering’ & Jimmy “Duck” Holmes’ ‘Going Away To Leave You’. Six originals by Farr & Co hint at love and suffering in the aftermath of a cancer diagnosis while ‘Lefty’ and the title track rock with all the grit and fire of a man that’s dodged more than a few bullets.
