CD Reviews

One of the great blues pianists

jon atack | nottingham, england | 07/15/2004

(4 out of 5 stars)

"A fine introduction to one of the great Blues pianists, the eminent pupil of Roosevelt Sykes. Twenty-five of the best tracks recorded in his heyday between 1940 and 1948. Memphis Slim was guitarist Big Bill Broonzy's pianist of choice, and he had a fine Blues voice too. The songs range from risque humour to true lowdown Blues. There are a couple of good talking Blues, reminiscent of Nat King Cole's work at the same time, and a nod to the contemporary Jump Blues of Louis Jordan. This is the peak of Chicago Blues when Muddy Waters arrived in the windy city to electrify us all."
