Our Take

Album: KING CURTIS & SUNNYLAND SLIM - King Curtis & Sunnyland Slim (Limited Edition)

In the hallowed halls of music history, some collaborations stand out like diamonds in a sea of cubic zirconia. The unlikely pairing of King Curtis, the virtuoso saxophonist, and Sunnyland Slim, the boogie-woogie piano maestro, is one such gem. This limited edition album captures the magic of their meeting in a smoky Chicago club back in the swinging sixties.

From the opening track, "Sweet Home Chicago," it's clear that these two giants of the blues are in perfect harmony. King Curtis's saxophone wails and moans like a lovesick ghost, while Sunnyland Slim's piano tinkles and thunders like a thunderstorm on a summer night. The chemistry between the two is undeniable, creating a musical fusion that is both timeless and electric.

Tracks like "Blues for Elvis" and "Sax O-Matic" showcase King Curtis's technical prowess and Sunnyland Slim's soulful groove. The energy and passion on display here are nothing short of infectious, making it impossible to sit still while listening.

Overall, this limited edition album is a must-have for any serious blues fan. King Curtis and Sunnyland Slim may no longer be with us, but their music lives on in this gem of a record. So grab a glass of bourbon, dim the lights, and let the sweet sounds of King Curtis & Sunnyland Slim wash over you like a warm Southern breeze. You won't be disappointed.
