Steady Rolling Blues: The Blues of Memphis Slim

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded during a period of prolific output for the Prestige/Bluesville label, this intimate session captures the booming voice and barrelhouse piano of Memphis Slim. Stripped of his usual driving horn sections, the solo acoustic setting emphasizes his rumbling boogie-woogie basslines and extemporaneous vocal narratives. It provides a stark, authentic portrait of an artist who shaped the transition from rural to urban blues.
