Our Take

Ah, Memphis Slim, the man who brings a touch of the Deep South to our ears with his latest offering "Memphis Slim, U.S.A." This album is a delightful romp through the sounds of old-time blues, with Slim's gravelly voice and nimble piano fingers leading the way. From the opening track, "Muddy Waters Outtake," it's clear that Slim is in fine form, with a swagger and charm that is hard to resist. His lyrics are witty and sharp, his melodies infectious and toe-tapping. Tracks like "Memphis Blues" and "Boogie Woogie" showcase Slim's mastery of the genre, with each note ringing out with joy and passion. But it's not all old-school blues on this album. Slim also delves into some more modern styles, with tracks like "Funkadelic Boogie" and "Soulful Stroll" bringing a fresh, contemporary twist to his sound. It's a bold move, but one that pays off wonderfully. Overall, "Memphis Slim, U.S.A." is a joyous celebration of all things blues, with Slim at the top of his game. It's a must-listen for any fan of the genre, and a testament to the enduring power of this timeless music. Grab yourself a glass of bourbon, sit back, and let Memphis Slim take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers to that, old chap!
