Half a Boy/Half a Man (1999)

Half decent/ half lame is more like it. For every bluesy keeper here (like the slide-soaked cover of Willie Dixon's "99 Days in Jail"), there's a cheesy throwaway like the aptly titled "Nothin' New." Bad to the bone? As George's spiritual cousin Huey Lewis once remarked, sometimes bad is bad. C
