Here comes the econd to last album from one of the greatest representants of rough crushing house rockin’ stark insistent sound If you ask any Chicago blues community fan who is now the king of house rockin’ blues, the answer will undoubtedly be Magic Slim Today he is an admired respected venerated artist as a true genuine national treasure, one of the few living representants of the tradition of true bluesmen who still remains active The album shows how a seventy years man with more than fifty years with the blues on his back, is still able to have an overflowing energy and great commitment, from the onle and only passion in life: to play blues! Once again Slim captivates us with this bright example of maturity and passion, leading his Teardrops and including exceptional guests musicians in the cd, such as James Cotton, Little Ed, Lonnie Brooks, Otis Clay or Elvin Bishop, among others Only sat this is an album that should not be overlooked
