2013, For the prolific Popa Chubby, who was born Ted Horowitz, the album marks a premeditative return to the world of Blues. An imposing figure with a shaven head, tattooed arms, a goatee and a performance style he describes as ´the Stooges meets Buddy Guy, Motorhead meets Muddy Waters, and Jimi Hendrix meets Robert Johnson,` Popa Chubby is an endearing character who is one of the genre's most popular figures. UNIVERSAL BREAKDOWN BLUES features a dozen compelling songs where searing guitar lines and heartfelt lyrics are the stars. His offerings provide a parallel to the lament that inspired such blues icons as Howlin' Wolf and Robert Johnson, digging deep and coming up with some of the most intense repertoire he has ever written. His catchy, sublime slices of his fractured life are offered in a manner where the sentiments sung are relatable, and amongst the most universal of themes, he explores the passage of love, loss and having to find the path back.
