5.0 out of 5 stars
Chicago Blues,
By
This review is from: Midnight Blues (Audio CD)
New CD's by BB King, Buddy Guy, and Magic Slim all within a month. How great is that for blues fans? Magic Slim is every bit the national treasure as BB and Buddy. He has a long time association with Blind Pig records but his new album is by far his best. There are several big name guest stars on the album but the real star here is Magic Slim. This is classic, gritty, Chicago blues and there is not a weak song on the CD.

Still Got the 'Magic',
By
This review is from: Midnight Blues (Audio CD)
Midnight Blues is a belated and much welcome new disc from Magic Slim and his Teardrops, and as usual they tear the roof off the mutha f$%^er with this set. Right off the bat 'Let Me Love You' kicks into overdrive, and Slim does Muddy Waters proud with two fine covers 'Can't Lose What You Never Had' and a little known number from his 'Hard Again' album called 'Cross-eyed Cat'.
He also revisits Hound Dog Taylor's 'Give Me Back My Wig' and carries on the tradition with pride! As usual, Slim's guitar playing is full of sting and those typical rapid fire notes. Even if his voice has weakened just a bit with age, he still has that gloriously wonderful growl. The only misstep may have been the country cover 'Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad'. Not that Slim doesn't play it well, it just seems out of character for his voice. As usual the Teardrops provide great backing, proving how a Chicago Blues BAND should sound like.

heard this too many times before,
By blue barry "Blue Barry" (key west) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Midnight Blues (Audio CD)
If you like generic Chicago blues played loud and raucus with nothing new to offer, I recommend this. Magic Slim does it as well as anyone but it has been done to death. The music is not original but it is performed with passion. However, if you want to hear how this style should be performed, with better songs, better musicians,go to the originals--Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf and Magic Sam. But, if you want to hear Chicago Blues live, Magic Slim and Little Ed are still around and no one does it better.
