MAGIC SLIM, 75
Died February 27, 2013
Younger contemporary of Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf. he and his backing band, the Teardrops, played a 'no-holds-barred brand of Chicago-style electric blues.
His real name was Morris Holt and he left his home in rural Mississippi in 1955. His first trip failed and he went back, but returned and made his mark on the blues scene, playing in many of the larger clubs
I have a couple Magic Slim and the Teardrops LPs and a CD. Listening to his Raw Magic CD right now.
Da Blues. Da Slim.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
