Our Take
In his latest offering, Watermelon Slim proves why he's still a force to be reckoned with in the blues world. "Traveling Man" takes listeners on a journey filled with raw emotion, gritty guitar riffs, and Slim's signature gravelly vocals. The album kicks off with the rollicking track "Cross Eyed Woman," a foot-stomping tune that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Slim's songwriting shines on tracks like "Prison Walls," where he delves into themes of redemption and regret with a sense of authenticity that is truly captivating. But don't be fooled by the serious subject matter, there are plenty of moments of levity on "Traveling Man" as well. Tracks like "Trailer Park Blues" and "Too Much Alcohol" showcase Slim's cheeky sense of humour and ability to infuse even the darkest subjects with a touch of wit. Throughout the album, Slim's guitar playing is nothing short of masterful, with each riff feeling like a punch to the gut in the best possible way. His bandmates provide a solid backbone for his songs, filling out the sound with tight rhythms and soulful solos. Overall, "Traveling Man" is a testament to Watermelon Slim's enduring talent and the continued relevance of the blues. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to his music, this album is sure to leave you tapping your feet and reaching for another shot of whisky. Cheers to that, mate.
