Lightnin' Slim • Nothin' But The Devil



Review by Bruce Eder
This 24-song collection undoubtedly overlaps with some of the U.S.-issued Excello material -- including the same alternate takes of "Rooster Blues" and "It's Mighty Crazy" -- but there's just enough that they don't share to make this worth a look, if not a purchase, by owners of the U.S. material. The sound, as is usual with Ace, is excellent, and the stuff is worthy of inclusion with the best of Slim's work. Among the best tracks here are two outtakes unique to this set at this time, "I'm Leavin' You Baby," on which Slim steps over into Howlin' Wolf territory ("Moanin' at Midnight," etc.), and "Sweet Little Woman," where he crosses swords with Sonny Boy Williamson II.

Revisión por Bruce Eder
Esta colección de 24 canciones, sin duda, se superpone con parte del material de Excello emitido por los EE. UU., Incluidas las mismas tomas alternativas de "Rooster Blues" y "It's Mighty Crazy", pero es suficiente que no compartan para que valga la pena. Una mirada, si no una compra, por los propietarios del material estadounidense. El sonido, como es habitual en Ace, es excelente y merece la pena incluirlo con lo mejor del trabajo de Slim. Entre las mejores pistas aquí hay dos tomas exclusivas de este conjunto en este momento, "I'm Leavin 'You Baby", en la que Slim se adentra en el territorio de Howlin' Wolf ("Moanin 'at Midnight", etc.), y " Sweet Little Woman, "donde cruza espadas con Sonny Boy Williamson II.
