Magic Slim is now an internationally renowned blues artist - but this classic 1977 session goes back to a time when Slim was primarily busy on Chicago's south side, hosting the Sunday jam session at Florence's, or at other clubs like Theresa's, The Checkerboard or The 1125 Club. His group The Teardrops consisted of brothers Nick Holt, bass; Doug Holt, drums and Coleman Pettis, 2nd guitar.

Also recorded in 1977, Joe Carter was one of the "unsung heroes of the Chicago club scene in the 1950s...a slide-playing twin disciple of Elmore James and Muddy Waters." - Cub Koda, All Music Guide This is one of only two sessions Carter ever recorded and it features Lacy Gibson, guitar; Sunnyland Slim, piano; Willie Black, bass; Fred Below, drums. This is the seventh instalment in the series documenting R&B record producer / A&R man, Ralph Bass.

Reviews

Blues & Rhythm - Phil Wright

Back in 1977 Magic Slim and the Teardrops were just beginning to garner well-deserved reputation as one of the hardest hitting blues bands on the Chicago club scene. Magic Slim fans who don't already have the LPs, or are upgrading to CD will no doubt have ordered this set already, and will enjoy the Carter sides also.
