  • “Premier Pianist/composer Sunnyland Slim grew into his blues roots in Chicago via the Delta. This collection of recordings from 1981-83 is quite possibly one of the most potent, diverse blues discs to ever haunt my CD player.” – The Retriever

    “This is a remastered reissue from Sunnyland’s own Airway label, featuring the great guitarists Hubert Sumlin, Eddie Taylor, Magic Slim, and Lurrie Bell, who turn in blazing guitar solos behind Sunnyland’s deep vocals and rolling piano. Also features organist “Professor” Eddie Lusk and bassist Bob Stroger. Most of the songs had not been recorded by Slim prior to this session; many are quite topical in their lyrics.” – Silo Independent Newsletter
