    Valoración: GREAT

Here comes one of the hottest effective records on Watermelon Slim’s musical career Vietnam War veteran, Slim gives us a raw passionate new project He is backed by his Workers, a bunch of very professional musicians who perfectly match with Watermelon’s style Cliff Belcher on bass, Michael Newberry on percussion and drums and Ronnie ‘Mack’ McMullen on guitar, plus the complicity and priceless collaboration of two outstanding musicians like Lee Roy Pernell on slide guitar and David Maxwell on piano All them complete a magnificent session including fourteen attractive very interesting songs If you like deep rough style of a true musician of American roots music tradition, who perfectly combines Jimmie Rodgers and The Carter Family styles with Bob Willis’ western swing and Sonny Boy Williamson’s blues with Wilson Pickett’s soul, this record comes just at the right time for you
