Product Notes
2011 compilation that celebrates Blues music and the artists who have made a huge impact on the genre. Without the Blues there would be no Rock 'n' Roll, no Rock music nor almost every kind of popular music that's listened to today. The Blues continues to influence contemporary music and has inspired musicians of all generations to embrace its emotion. Memphis Slim's real name was John L.Chatman and he got his nickname from having been born in Memphis in 1915. He was a popular player on the Chicago club scene and toured Europe with Willie Dixon in 1960. Slim's Blues serves as a natural link between earlier blues tradition and more recent rhythm and blues styles. Polydor.
