Wixom Slim is a singer and harp player who deeply loves old fifties Texas sound. Wixom and the rest of musicians who back him have got a wide knowledge of shuffle, jump, jive and r&b, and they do it with a skilful swinging performing. The Wyze Gyze band musicians are great professional artists with an amazing technique. Good arrangements too in everyone of the covers included on both cds. Different songs from Chsrlie Musselwhite, Rick Estrin, Jsmes Harman, William Clarke, Rod Piazza or Gary Primich, together with some keyboard Matt Zacharias tasteful excellent own compositions. Two splendid cds recorded with an enormous feeling. Those of you who love actual Californian blues, heir of George Smith’s or The Hollywood Fats Band sound, will certainly welcome these two records and should immediately get a copy.
