Our Take

Memphis Slim may have been rocking the keys since before you were even a twinkle in your dad's eye, but that doesn't mean he's lost any of his charm. His 1964 live album is proof that age ain't nothing but a number when it comes to tickling the ivories.

From the moment Slim's fingers hit the first note, you can't help but be drawn in by his magnetic presence. The energy in the room is electric, as he effortlessly weaves in and out of classic blues and soulful melodies. It's like being transported back in time to a smoky jazz club, where the music is hot and the drinks are cold.

Slim's band is tight, providing the perfect backdrop for his piano prowess. The bass rumbles like a train rolling down the tracks, while the drums keep a steady beat that'll have you tapping your foot in no time. And let's not forget about the horns – they blare with a brassy swagger that adds just the right amount of oomph to the proceedings.

But it's Slim's voice that really steals the show. Smooth as silk and rough around the edges, he croons and growls his way through each song with a passion that's impossible to ignore. Whether he's belting out a heart-wrenching ballad or getting down and dirty on a rollicking boogie-woogie number, you can't help but be swept up in the moment.

In a world filled with flashy gimmicks and overproduced pop stars, Memphis Slim is a refreshing reminder of what real music is all about. So grab a glass of whiskey, sit back, and let yourself be taken on a journey through the soulful sounds of a true legend. Trust me, you won't regret it.
