Big Daddy Kinsey & The Kinsey Report – Bad Situation

A powerhouse modern blues release from the heart of Gary, Indiana, Bad Situation by Big Daddy Kinsey & The Kinsey Report blends deep Delta roots with a fresh, electric edge. Led by Lester “Big Daddy” Kinsey and backed by his sons Donald, Ralph, and Kenneth Kinsey, this album showcases a family legacy shaped by hard-earned experience, raw talent, and a life lived through the blues. With special guests including Pinetop Perkins, Billy Branch, and a tight horn section, the album balances traditional grit with contemporary themes—like Nuclear War Blues, Tribute to Muddy, and Gary, Indiana. Kinsey’s bottleneck guitar, passionate vocals, and the band’s polished arrangements make this a standout 1980s blues record.
