Magic Slim & The Teardrops - last recording
Hot August Blues & Roots Music Festival
Cockeysville, Maryland, August 18, 2012
AUD A-, @320
From the Dave Sez archive:
Magic Slim, who died on February 21, 2013, occupied a similar position in American music to Dr. Feelgood in the UK - a blues band coming up during the punk era, although Slim's classic Chicago blues differed from the Feelgood's pub rhythm & blues. I was lucky enough to hear his first album back in 1977, and have been hooked ever since. This is the last recording of Magic Slim I know of, recorded just after his 75th birthday and six months before his death.
