We are facing one of the most genuine Spanish artists who play pre-war blues Felix Slim is a real expert of the culture and traditional music of Blind Blake, Frank Stokes, Bo Carter, Son House, Big Joe Williams, Bukka White and the old twenties blues artists generation representing the spirit of deep rural blues The cd includes sixteen songs where Felix gets into with the honesty and passion of a musician who really loves what he is doing and he does it well Felix sings, plays different guitars, slide, harmonica and kazoo with an spontaneous skill The result is a sincere relaxed album but at the same time very exciting one, for the passion and personal performing he gives to different styles, from Mississippi to ragtime, swing or Piedmont blues, as Felix perfectly knows all these musical techniques, including ‘finger-picking’ style
