Pure magic

"Slim's tone was as piercing as any guitarist's who ever played the blues; he tore notes from his fretboard with a nearly demonic force, and his fatback-and-rotgut vocals were as uncompromising as his playing ... It's difficult to go wrong with Magic Slim, but to catch him at his best, you had to catch him live - sadly, that is no longer the possible, but this disc comes as close as possible".
