• Description : This track taken from the excellent...(more) Sonnet 1978 album "High And Low Down", but could not resist the excellent cover picture at the start from the Ace Records "Rooster Blues / Bell Ringer" (CDCHD 517) "Specialising in Louisiana and swamp blues, Lightnin' Slim was born Otis Hicks in St. Louis, Missouri on March 13 1913. He died of in Detroit, Michigan on 27 July 1974. Slim moved from Missouri to Baton Rouge, Louisiana at the age of thirteen. Taught guitar by his older brother Layfield, Slim was playing bars in Baton Rouge by the late 1940s. He debuted on Jay Miller's Feature Records label in 1954 with "Bad Luck" ("If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all"). Slim then recorded for Excello Records for 12 years, starting in the mid 1950s. Slim often collaborated with his brother-in-law, Slim Harpo. In the 1970s Slim performed on tours in Europe, both in the UK and at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. He was mostly accompanied by Moses "Whispering" Smith on harmonica."
