South Side
Slim just can't lay low. In Trouble on the South Side, his fifth
CD in six years, "the formidable guitar modernist"
(Living Blues, October, 2003) masterfully and emotionally pours
out extraordinary, modern, and cutting edge blues.
Numerous interviews
attest to his strong-minded viewpoint that blues is an unpredictable
event. Bubbling from hidden crevices of injustice and protest,
passion and lust, hardship and depression. Simply imitating and
rehashing a historical body of work reduces those hard won endeavors
to a precious canon and an easy commodity.
For Slim, honoring
the old blues fathers and mothers is to do what they did, to
communicate fresh emotion while playing and singing your heart
out. And that's just what Slim does. But don't think for a half-beat
that originality and feeling imply a lack of musical prowess;
in fact, it's the authority of Slim's skills that allows him
to express himself so effectively. click here to--> Buy it now!
