WATERMELON SLIM !!!!!!!!







Blues Matters (U.K.)

"There's three themes in the blues I usually sing: work,
frustrated experiences, and consciousness of personal mortality. I have
a trucker's face and hands; I am the trucker's face and hands. I
sing what I have lived, in the blues."
Santa Cruz Sentinel
"Slim's buzzsaw-raw, intensely personal vocals, harp playing and
slide guitar are the products of life spent scuffling in hard, dirty day
jobs, and nights in innumerable blues lineups in clubs from coast to
coast."
Blues in Britain Magazine
"He looks a bit like Tom Waits and certainly as much of a character.
Slim delighted the audience with stories told in his southern drawl,
including how he bought his Dobro from a Communist, his love for
Britain…carrying a copy of the Complete Works of Shakespeare, which
he actually had in his bag onstage."
Charlie Musselwhite
"Watermelon Slim has found a new way to be traditional. His music is
modern and down-home at the same time. Anybody that likes blues will get
a kick out of this."

Elwood Blues (a.k.a. Dan Aykroyd)

"He's been a farmer, teacher, truck driver, and who knows what
else. He's also one of the best blues singers out there."
