Memphis Slim & Willie Dixon - The Blues Every Which Way (Speaker

Thanks to original poster. This series of audiophile blues vinyl transfers are excellent. I am so pleased to be able to share them with you.

Memphis Slim and Willie Dixon in a “double value” pack. Such a minimum of personnel was bound to bring a broad smile to the faces of Verve’s accounts department staff, especially when one considers that several great names in the blues scene of the Sixties tried to gain the public’s attention with the help of large and expensive background ensembles. But things were very different with these two great musicians. Instead of depending upon cascades of sound and throbbing rhythm coming out of the electrical sockets, the duo relied upon their own vocal talents and their skill at the piano and bass. The two musicians reach back to the roots of the blues when they growl out their songs about everyday life to a rolling boogie-woogie rhythm. The listener gets an immediate impression of how it would have sounded in the streets and bars of Chicago’s south side. Without a shadow of a doubt, this album will be right up the street of all those who love original, unfiltered blues.
