With a successful career of more than fifty years, full or recognitions and awards, piano player and singer Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne is now considered as one of the greatest ‘honky tonk’ blues piano players who is still active in the blues scene.

A comment from a musician he was playing with, who said that those 40’s, 50’s and 60’s amazing blues piano players were barely known by new blues fans, Kenny decided to record an album to pay tribute to one of the 88 keys mythical masters, Mr. Memphis Slim. To do so, he focused on the late 50’s and early 60’s period, where Slim extensively toured with his friend and double bass player Willie Dixon all over Europe and USA.

What should originally be a tribute to Slim, quicky became an homage to Memphis Slim and Willie Dixon too. Kenny did a selection of 17 songs that mix compositions coming from Slim and Dixon, that faithfully reflect the vintage sound of those years, thanks to the knowledge and good work of Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne on piano and vocals, Russell Jackson, who recreates Willie Dixon’s sound, on double bass and vocals and Joey DiMarco on drums.

An impressive recording that serves, not only to appreciate the qualities of these musicians, but also to remember and savor the impressive masterpieces of those incredible artists who contributed to popularize blues among USA and Eurpean white audiences.
