TheGoodRev Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Motherfuck, motherfuck, motherfuck, motherfuck, motherfuck, assorted additional expletives. I have been dying to see Slim for a long time, and once again, I have a gig in Toronto the night that he's in Hamilton. Fucking shit.If you've heard this guy's record, you know. If you haven't, you need to. It's a self-titled with his band The Workers, released 2005 on Northern Blues.Everybody must go see this man perform.

TheGoodRev Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Just looking at Slim's blog and came across something interesting. He lists a bunch of his favourite albums, saying that for every record on the list there's 50 more to be mentioned. Most of it is straight blues, some I've heard of, others I now want to hear. He throws in a couple surprises like The White Album and Wish You Were Here, too. Then, at the end of the list:Howlin Wolf isn't even on the list, nor is Sonny Boy Williamson II. Nor /Wheels of Fire/. Nor /American Beauty/. How can the Dead not be on the list!? No Bob Dylan? No Ray Charles? No Simon and Garfunkel's /Sounds of Silence/? No freakin Steppenwolf or Zep? No Rolling Stones Records, fer chrissake? No Roger Miller?No Robert Johnson?See what I mean, ratings are utterly useless. It aggravated me when Rolling Stone was naming all of its big lists of greatest-this and greatest-that. But here ya go, y'all. I could write you all night about music I've listened to, dug, used in my shows, but we're on the road tonight for Sioux City tomorrow. Or Des Moines. Wherever the heck we end up, lol.Somebody's evidently been teaching Slim about internet lingo.Link to this entryLink to Slim's blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 yeah, HOLY SHIT. I had his disc for a while and had to give it up to Jaimoe for a review which is posted here.I'd go see this if I could be there. Good show for PJC and the Hammer!

briguy Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Watermelon Slim sends chills down my spine, in a good way. Quite possibly one of the best blues shows I've ever seen live. Didn't he play for over three hours last time? This is going to be a serious badass soul searching raunchy good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc Posted August 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Man, I can't say enough how fucking awesome this band is. Slim is a class act. the Workers too. They are playing tonight at the Silver Dollar. Saturday and Sunday in Kitchener. People must go.You probably could have caught his last song or two if you came staight here. They only put on about a 3 hour show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
