LIGHTNIN' SLIM - VINYL ROOSTER BLUES [VINYL]

Popis - ROOSTER BLUES [VINYL]:
Louisiana bluesman Lightnin' Slim (nee Otis V. Hicks) began entertaining bar patrons in his native Baton Rouge in the 1940s. By the '50s he was releasing singles on the now legendary Excello label (the blues division of Nashville based Nashboro). This album, his first long player, appeared in 1960 and compiles many of those classic '50s sides. Slim was often accompanied by his brother-in-law, Slim Harpo, on the harmonica, along with a full, rollicking rhythm section heavily influenced by the R&B coming out of NOLA at the time. Lightnin' Slim deserves a place alongside the more often mentioned blues legends of the '50s, like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, and Howlin' Wolf. For proof, look no further than this excellent debut album.
