Synopsis
Product Description
5-CD boxed set (LP-size) with 104 page hardcover book, 142 tracks. Total playing time approx. 410 minutes.
? The complete works of one of the masters of Louisiana 'swamp blues' and 'swamp pop.'
? Five CDs containing 142 tracks and a 104 page book with many rare photographs and illustrations.
? CDs 1 and 2 hold all Slim Harpo's Excello label 45s and original album tracks.
? CDs 3 and 4 have all the recordings unissued in Harpo's lifetime and all the alternative takes of issued songs.
? CD 5 features a live recording made in 1961, one of the very earliest to capture an original and important blues artist in their prime.
? There are four previously unissued live songs and one previously unknown song.

Here was a man with an unforgettable name, a strong song - I'm A King Bee - and a finely-crafted minimalist style, at once familiar and novel. In 1961 Slim Harpo made a crossover entry into the American Rhythm 'n' Blues and Popular Music charts when Rainin' In My Heart became one of those barely-categorisable hits that just couldn't be ignored. Then came Baby, Scratch My Back, a soulful rhythmic number that led to tours with the rock elite.
The story of Slim Harpo and his music is among the most fascinating in all blues and Rhythm 'n' Blues. Harpo's music had timeless and mellow qualities that made his sound both authentic and accessible. By many benchmarks he was a success, and for periods in his life he was in the spotlight, yet little, really, is known of him beyond his fading circle of musicians, friends, and family in Baton...
