Editorial Review: Product Description: When word got out that Magic Slim was looking for a few guest Teardrops, the Chicago rhythm & blues community responded with a resounding 'Yeah!' Joining him on this incredible set of real Chicago Blues with a dash of Country and a bit of Soul thrown in are James Cotton, Lil' Ed Williams, Lonnie Brooks, Otis Clay, Gene Barge, Elvin Bishop and the Chicago Rhythm & Bues Kings horn section. Slim is a national treasure, one of the few true bluesmen still around, and at seventy years young he is playing and singing with as much passion and strength as ever. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Magic Slim & the Tremendous TeardropsThis most recent release by Slim & the Teardrops is among my top 5 Blues releases for 2008. These cats may be older but their experience fuels a tremendous collection of music. Crossed Eyed Cat is my favorite track. The bass & drums beat drives the hot guitar runs and the lyrics are growled with passion. If you dig the Blues get yourself down to the Magic Slim music stand!!! sch in Tennessee Rating:  - Strong band. Strong record.Didn't get excited about Magic Slim & the Teardrops the first time I heard them.

The thing is, during all those years, Willie Johnson and Jimmy Reed were passing away, and other road acts billing themselves ... Read More: Rating: - Still Got the 'Magic'Midnight Blues is a belated and much welcome new disc from Magic Slim and his Teardrops, and as usual they tear the roof off the mutha f$%^er with this set. Right off the bat 'Let Me Love You' kicks into overdrive, and Slim does Muddy Waters proud with two fine covers 'Can't Lose What You Never Had' and a little known number from his 'Hard Again' album called 'Cross-eyed Cat'. He also revisits Hound Dog Taylor's 'Give Me Back My Wig' and carries on the tradition with pride! As usual, ... Read More: Rating: - Chicago BluesNew CD's by BB King, Buddy Guy, and Magic Slim all within a month. How great is that for blues fans? Magic Slim is every bit the national treasure as BB and Buddy. He has a long time association with Blind Pig records but his new album is by far his best. There are several big name guest stars on the album but the real star here is Magic Slim. This is classic, gritty, Chicago blues and there is not a weak song on the CD. |
