Jawbone is Bob Zabor, a Detroit bluesman who works as a one-man band, blowing harmonica, playing guitar and shaking a tambourine all at once. He goes after a deliberately lo-fi sound, rough and boxy, as if the tape had been sitting in a shack since the earliest days of recorded blues.
His album Dang Blues, from 2004, carries "Hi-De-Hi" and "Jackrabbit", both of them rattling, foot-stomping little ruckuses that sound like they were cut in one take with the windows open. That same year John Peel put his music on the air on BBC Radio 1, and his tracks turned up on a string of magazine cover CDs in Britain.
