Slim Harpo - Rainin' In My Heart - 1961.



Review:

This man influenced The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Blues Brothers and The Kinks....If you want a dose of the real stuff (BLUES)...."Raining In My Heart" is it. Although Slim Harpo wasn't widely acclaimed as a singer, songwriter or musician by the public, other musicians were certainly aware of him. For a number of reasons, it's virtually impossible to properly document all of Slim "James Moore" Harpo's hits, this is truly one of the best ever released. Eventhough he died in 1970, this Blues Masters music will always be around. When you buy this package you're in store for some great stuff!!!

Slim Harpo - The Scratch - Recorded in 1961, Released in 1996.



Review:

A 25-track single-disc compilation loaded with previously unissued sides and alternate takes (the title track is an interesting variant of his hit, "Baby, Scratch My Back"), making it the perfect companion volume to Hip Shakin'. This also has the added bonus of more (and even wilder) live recordings from the infamous 1961 frat party dance in Alabama. Dodgy sound on the live sides, but performances too great to leave in the can either way.

Slim Harpo - Sting It Then - 1997.


Review

This CD is one of the most flukey and important live-blues documents you can find, rating right up there with B.B. King's Live at the Regal and the live Piano Red material from 1955. Recorded off the P.A. system at a 1961 show at the Sage Armory in Mobile, Alabama, it captures Slim Harpo in his only live concert document. Harpo's vocals are a little pushed back in the resulting recording, but his harmonica is caught really well (check out the playing and the clarity on the slow blues "You Know I Love You"), as are the guitars of Rudolph Richard and James Johnson, Willie "Tomcat" Parker's sax, and Sammy K. Brown's drums. Luckily, there's not much audience noise, so what we get is a close-up look at how the blues legend sounded on stage, doing classics like "I'm a King Bee," "Got Love if You Wants It," "Rainin' in My Heart" (his then-current hit), and songs like "Big Boss Man" and "Boogie Chillun," made famous by others. If the sound were slightly better, this would rate even higher, but any real fan should own this. (Note: 11 of the 20 tracks have appeared previously in the United States, spread among two Slim Harpo compilations devoted to his work).
