Our Take

MEMPHIS SLIM's "Life Is Like That" is a delightful mix of blues, soul, and everything in between. The album kicks off with "I'm Sober Now," a toe-tapping tune that perfectly sets the tone for what's to come. Slim's smooth vocals and tight musicianship keep you hooked from start to finish.

Tracks like "Cool Down Baby" and "Delmar Avenue" showcase Slim's versatility as a musician, seamlessly blending blues with a touch of jazz and a sprinkle of R&B. The guitar work on these tracks is nothing short of spectacular, adding an extra layer of depth to an already impressive album.

One of the standout tracks on "Life Is Like That" is the hauntingly beautiful "Down Home Child." Slim's emotive vocals combined with the haunting piano melody create a sense of nostalgia that is both heartwarming and melancholic. It's a track that will linger in your mind long after the album has finished.

Overall, "Life Is Like That" is a must-listen for any fan of blues or soul music. MEMPHIS SLIM's talent shines through on every track, cementing his status as a true legend in the genre. So grab a glass of whiskey, sit back, and let "Life Is Like That" take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
