Description: | The weathered and shattered face of this outlaw tells the story of his life: Vietnam veteran, blue-collar worker, 18-wheel trucker, socialist activist. This degreed proletarian who describes himself as â??the most literate bluesman in the worldâ? is indeed eminently qualified, a Shakespearean exegete whose high IQ qualified him, in the past, to be a member of Mensa International, a society for very intelligent people. Long based in Oklahoma he now makes his home in the Mississippi Delta, the birthplace of the Blues. Earning his nickname as a farmer, **Watermelon Slim** paid his dues singing his mixture of Blues and Americana and playing harp and steel guitar raw style in juke joints and honky-tonks across the country. His lyrics combine a staggering sense of poetry and deep social consciousness. He is truly a moving and important voice that conveys the soul of the real America. - Three panel digisleeve. Includes 32-page booklet with lyrics, pictures and credits.
Made in Austria
