Memphis Slim

The electric rockers Canned Heat and the Memphis Horns join one of history's great piano-playing bluesmen. Rawer and more direct than that same year's The Memphis Suite (which includes members of Fleetwood Mac and Led Zep), this is still the less satisfying and creative of the two. That said, many blues aficionados may prefer this one, and Slim and the Memphis Horns completely knock "Paris" out of the park.
