Der Gitarrist, Sänger und Songwriter Lightnin' Slim (echter Name Otis Hicks) wurde 1913 in Louisiana geboren und war ein Pionier und erster prominenter Vertreter des "Swamp Blues" Stils. Er hat relativ spät mit dem Aufnehmen seiner Songs begonnen, Anfang der 40er hatte er seine ersten Sessions und nahm in den späten 1950er und frühen 1960er Jahren seine bekanntesten Werke auf, bevor er sich aus dem Geschäft zurückzog. 1970 wurde er wiederentdeckt und begann erneut live zu spielen. - .. BS 1954-62Guitarist, singer and songwriter Lightnin' Slim (real name Otis Hicks) was born in Louisiana in 1913 and was a pioneer and first prominent exponent of the "Swamp Blues" style, coming relatively late in life to recording in his early 40s to record his best-known work during the late 1950s and early '60s, before retreating from the business until being re-discovered and brought back to performing in the early 1970s. His music became a significant influence on British artists during the '60s blues boom. Swamp blues, focused in the clubs of Baton Rouge, is a laid-back but highly rhythmic blues style, influenced by Cajun music, and which the book "Music USA: A Rough Guide" states is characterised by "eerie echo, shuffle beats, tremolo guitars, searing harmonica and sparse percussion". This great-value 46-track 2-CD set comprises all the titles which Lightnin' Slim recorded for the Feature, Ace and Excello labels during these years, including the only R&B chart hit of his career "Rooster Blues". He is accompanied on these recordings by a variety of other Louisiana musicians, most notably the harmonica player Lazy Lester. This collection offers an entertaining insight into the music of a highly individual artist as well as a distinctive strand of regional blues.Collection of singles released on Feature, Ace and Excello.
