Notes: Harlem Slim is a master of the pre-World War II Delta blues sound as practiced by Robert Johnson, Blind Willie Mctell, and others. Here, Harlem is a full-strumming, vigorous conjuror of Delta spirits. He is a stellar talent in performing Delta blues and Piedmont ragtime guitar. His style of the vintage Southern blues styles is as good as the originals. ~ Tom Schulte
