Sunnyland Slim • She's Got A Thing Goin' On

 

Review:
by Scott Yanow
Pianist/singer Sunnyland Slim (1909-1995) was a major force in Chicago blues for over 50 years. A professional by the late '20s, he was based in Memphis for a time before moving to Chicago in 1939. A powerful pianist and an expressive singer, he recorded for many labels through the years, having his own company (Airway Records) in the 1970s. She Got a Thing Goin' On reissues the best selections from those dates. In addition to numbers that showcase Slim's vocals, he is heard backing singers Zora Young, Bonnie Lee, and Big Time Sarah, all of whom sound inspired by his presence. Teamed with top-notch musicians, the pianist plays with the energy of someone half his age. In addition, there are two selections from a 1979 date with Kansas City Red and Honeyboy Edwards that was released on this CD for the first time. Highly recommended as a fine retrospective from the later years of Sunnyland Slim.

Reseña:
por Scott Yanow
El pianista y cantante Sunnyland Slim (1909-1995) fue una fuerza importante en el blues de Chicago durante más de 50 años. Profesional a finales de los años 20, se estableció en Memphis durante un tiempo antes de trasladarse a Chicago en 1939. Potente pianista y expresivo cantante, grabó para muchos sellos a lo largo de los años, teniendo su propia compañía (Airway Records) en la década de 1970. She Got a Thing Goin' On reedita las mejores selecciones de esas fechas. Además de los números que muestran la voz de Slim, se le escucha respaldando a las cantantes Zora Young, Bonnie Lee y Big Time Sarah, todas las cuales suenan inspiradas por su presencia. Junto con músicos de primera categoría, el pianista toca con la energía de alguien con la mitad de su edad. Además, hay dos selecciones de una fecha de 1979 con Kansas City Red y Honeyboy Edwards que se publicó en este CD por primera vez. Muy recomendable como una buena retrospectiva de los últimos años de Sunnyland Slim.
