Lightnin' Slim

Description:

Lightnin' Slim's one-of-a-kind personality is captured in this collection of excello recordings! Lightnin' Slim, who was called "Louisiana's Four Heavenly Kings" along with Lazy Lester, Slim Harpo, and Lonesome Sundown, is a bluesman with a down-home feel that is like a combination of Muddy Waters and Lightnin' Hopkins. This CD is a collection of Exelo recordings released in 1965 with additional bonus tracks, and includes songs from sessions conducted between 1957 and 1965. Slim was a one-of-a-kind individual, and it is the Excello recordings that are the most appealing.
