Our Take

Ah, LIGHTNIN SLIM! The man, the legend, the blues extraordinaire! Rooster Blues is a limited edition gem that showcases the raw talent and soulful twang of this Louisiana born musician.

From the moment the first notes of the title track hit your ears, you know you're in for a raucous, foot-stomping ride. With his gritty vocals and masterful guitar skills, LIGHTNIN SLIM commands your attention and doesn't let go.

Tracks like "My Starter Won't Start" and "It's Mighty Crazy" transport you to a smoky, dimly lit juke joint where the booze flows freely and the music never stops. Each song tells a story, painting vivid pictures of love lost, struggles faced, and triumphs celebrated.

But what truly sets this album apart are the six bonus tracks that have been unearthed for this limited edition release. "Tom Cat Blues" and "Bad Luck and Trouble" are hidden gems that shine even brighter in the company of LIGHTNIN SLIM's classic hits.

So, grab yourself a glass of whisky, turn up the volume, and let LIGHTNIN SLIM take you on a wild, bluesy journey. Rooster Blues is a must-have for any music aficionado looking to add a bit of southern charm and soul to their collection. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
