Jimmywine Majestic is the second studio album by Red Red Meat, released in 1994 by Sub Pop. [4]

Contents

Production

The album was recorded at Idful Studios, Chicago, and was produced by Brad Wood and Casey Rice. [5]

Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote that the album "opens with a gnarled Stones riff (in the seething 'Flank'), dragging the listener on a trip that takes in all the usually hidden scenery the wrong side of the psychic tracks have to offer." [4] The Chicago Reader called Jimmywine Majestic "a dazzlingly consistent, groove-heavy album." [5] The Chicago Tribune called it "among the best albums of its era." [6] The Washington Post wrote: "Woozy and slippery, the songs on the Meat's Jimmywine Majestic marry slide guitar and feedback, recalling the Stones at their bluesiest and most dissolute." [7]
