Austrian record label Wolf Records regularly releases albums and reissues that become real treasures for blues fans. This they present a double CD compilation with a series of songs recorded by Magic Slim and John Primer together with the Teardrops.
A total of twenty-three songs give shape to this double album with the distinctive feature that all the compositions are slow and mid-tempos blues, developed with an amazing feeling and intensity by these two artists.
Both musicians alternate in vocals and guitar leadership, with the real sound of Windy City blues, with some own compositions, as well as some covers coming from musicians like Quincy Jones, Elmore James, Carey Bell, Muddy Waters, Otis Rush or St. Louis Jimmy Oden among others. The album also features a series of guests, all them representing Chicago blues, like Stanley Banks on keyboards, Detroit Junior on piano, Bo Trisko on guitar, Little Bobby on sax or Billy Branch, Steve Bell and Bill Lupkin on harmonica among others.
An impressive album that shows the most genuine Chicago blues sound, performed by two experiences musicians, who manage to drive us to those Chicago legendary clubs where the blues sounds all night long and catching us to the depths of our souls, thanks to the passion, feeling and the truthfulness of these two blues monsters.
