SLIM HARPO - BUZZIN' THE BLUES
Slim
Harpo made his impressive entrance into the world of blues recordings in 1957.
Here was a man with an unforgettable name, a strong song - I'm A King Bee - and
a finely-crafted minimalist style, at once familiar and novel. In 1961 Slim
Harpo made a crossover entry into the American Rhythm 'n' Blues and Popular
Music charts when Rainin' In My Heart became one of those barely-categorisable
hits that just couldn't be ignored. Then came Baby, Scratch My Back, a soulful
rhythmic number that led to tours with the rock elite. The story of Slim Harpo
and his music is among the most fascinating in all blues and Rhythm 'n' Blues.
Harpo's music had timeless and mellow qualities that made his sound both
authentic and accessible. By many benchmarks he was a success, and for periods
in his life he was in the spotlight, yet little, really, is known of him beyond
his fading circle of musicians, friends, and family in Baton. Includes 5-CD boxed set (LP-size) with 104 page
hardcover book, 142 tracks. Total playing time approx. 410 minutes. ~ Amazon
