SUNNYLAND SLIM "Plays The Rag Time Blues" (Bluesway 1972)

The other Chicago piano player recorded was Sunnyland Slim who’s oddly titled Plays The Ragtime Blues was released in 1972. Despite the title this is an exceptionally strong, well recorded set of Chicago blues finding Sunnyland backed superbly by Carey Bell and The Aces (Louis Myers, Dave Myers and Fred Below). “Get Hip To Yourself” is a terrific tough times tale with sizzling guitar from Myers with other highlights including “Mr. Cool” and the jazzy “Canadian Walk.” (Sunday Blues)
