An intimate recording from the Blues hall-of-famer that puts you in the room with 3 Blues legends!Remastered by multiple Grammy winner Michael Graves.One of Candid's historic blues releases, Memphis Slim, U.S.A. finds the Blues Hall Of Fame inductee in a rare, relaxed setting with two close friends and fellow blues icons, Jazz Gillum and Arbee Stidham. The intimacy-from their loose interplay and improvisation to the eerie realism of the recording-is palpable and feels more like an invitation to their inner circle than a commercial release.Grammy-winner Michael Graves' sensitive remastering brings Memphis Slim, U.S.A. to life, letting listeners in as the piano legend and his buddies offer a musical history of the blues from it's Southern juke-joint roots up to it's Chicago-style move toward R&B.Memphis Slim, U.S.A. is an essential document that Candid is proud to bring back to the blues canon.
