It&#8217;s a mongrel with clear ancestry in blues, country, gospel, and even hokum of the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century. Only the rarest of artists can resist the temptation to carve out some supposedly new genre (post-rock, anyone?) and instead make original rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll with his or her own personal spin. <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/tag\/jimbo-mathus\/\"><strong>Jimbo Mathus<\/strong><\/a> is such an artist.
