Magic Slim & the Teardrops

By Rick Mason

Published on October 03, 2007

The feral blues of Magic Slim comes straight from the Delta via Chicago, where the now-70-year-old guitar icon cut his teeth during the Windy City's golden age of the blues. Slim's bristling guitar style can shoot out stinging sparks or launch a harrowing litany of cries and whispers, while his Teardrops rip up the joint with raw, house-rockin' spit and fire. Stir in the gruff splendor of Slim's growling voice, and it amounts to exquisite misery. Slim's latest, The Essential Magic Slim, is a compilation of prime stuff issued by the Blind Pig label, mixing energetic covers of the likes of Howlin' Wolf and Jimmy Reed with an assortment of original Slim pickins.
