An intimate recording from the Blues hall-of-famer that puts you in the room with 3 Blues legends! Remastered by multiple Grammy winner Michael Graves. Vinyl mastering by Jeff Powell. One of Candid’s historic blues releases, Memphis Slim, U.S.A. finds the Blues Hall Of Fame inductee in a rare, relaxed setting with two close friends and fellow blues icons, Jazz Gillum and Arbee Stidham. The intimacy—from their loose interplay and improvisation to the eerie realism of the recording—is palpable and feels more like an invitation to their inner circle than a commercial release. Grammy-winner Michael Graves’ sensitive remastering brings Memphis Slim, U.S.A. to life, letting listeners in as the piano legend and his buddies offer a musical history of the blues from its Southern juke-joint roots up to its Chicago-style move toward R&B. Memphis Slim, U.S.A. is an essential document that Candid is proud to bring back to the blues canon.
