"About as real as it gets--blues played the way it was meant to be played." 　　-- Brett J. Bonner, Editor, Living Blues 　　 　　 　　* The sides included here are from a number of sessions recorded for Wolf Records from 1986-1992, as well as tracks from a previously unissued live recording made on a European tour in the early '90s. 　　 　　* Magic Slim is a giant presence on the Chicago Blues scene. For over 40 years, he has honed his craft, his style, and his band--The Teardrops--into some of the tightest and toughest sounds around! 　　 　　* Magic Slim & The Teardrops have developed an international reputation as one of the best blues bands around. The four-piece grinds out bone-crunching shuffles and hardcore urban juke sounds with what seems like the greatest of ease. Their repertoire is remarkable, including several hundred songs, and one never knows what gem Slim will pull out of his huge cowboy hat next! 　　 　　* Promotional copies sent to select magazines and radio stations.
