BONUS-


WEST VIRGINIA SLIM ELECTRIC BLUES BAND (1970)

http://www12.zippyshare.com/v/4716951/file.html

West Virginia Slim was born Lucas Johnson in Williamson, West Virginia. The Influence of his mother , a minister in a Williamson church, was strong on Lucas, and at the age of 9 he was singing in her church choir, and also playing harmonica.

At the age of 17, he joined the army and had opportunities to practice his singing and playing. When he was discharged in California, he joined a group which he now calls The Blues Five. He developed his own style of songwriting, singing and playing.

He treats every song as a compact drama, a story to be told in the musical blues idiom. His tales are meaningful. There is nothing trite about his lyrics. Slim puts it on the line when he says “this is where it is. It’s what’s happening. It is a real life. It’s the blues”. (Album Liner)

Speaking of Sam Cooke, did you ever re-up vol 4 of that old post? I also noted that vol 3 was missing some tracks.
Not that I wish to sound complaining I am happy to hear half of an album than none at all.
I love your site and will always be following your adventures. Thanks
