Looking for harp blues without hype, and built with back-to-basics values? Look no further. Slim uses his instrument never relying on the grandiose statement, but goes straight to the point. This was recorded during his tenure in Minnesota; featured on some cuts is one of the "Big Three," pianist Leonard "Baby Doo" Caston, who lays out incredible riffs on solo instrumental "Doo's Groove." Blues like this makes it understandable why the best blues is built on basic fundamentals. ~ Char Ham, All Music Guide
