This release from the talented & prolific BIG CREEK SLIM is the first to feature a full band throughout. Recorded over 3 days in 2017, it has the raw energy & excitement that makes a good recording great. Using just one microphone, 11 musicians (including 3 horn players) and guest vocalist Diunna Greenleaf in a tiny room, the recording of all original songs is really exceptional. As the notes say, " Slim targeted the perfectly unperfect sound of country blues and early urban blues recordings as found on such seminal labels as SUN- CHESS & EXCELLO." I could not characterize it any better.......
