Country Blues Band

The Too Bad Jims, formed in January 2023, are a gritty country blues band based in the UK, featuring veteran musicians Little Victor and Son Jack Jr., along with Nick Simonon on drums. Named after RL Burnside's album "Too Bad Jim," the band plays a high-octane mix of North Mississippi Hill Country blues and boogie, delivering a raw and earthy sound reminiscent of juke joints.
