Brilliant, genuine, pure, original… these would be some of the adjectives to describe what you will feel listening to this blues outsider because music comes directly from Harlem Slim’s heart, an artist who represents the tradition of deep-south Delta and Piedmont blues, following the path of Blind Blake’s ragtimes he used to play during the twenties and thirties It is gratifying to hear so original guitar techniques now quite forgotten by blues musicians, like finger-pickin ones, which are rarely performed, apart from very few skilled musicians like Harlem Slim, who also controls bottleneck technique Slim shines at a very high level along Delta Thug, so yo can listen many times to it without getting tired ‘Hey, Harlem, when will we have your next work?’
