	Born With The Blues Used - LP - LPS 5004 1971 Stereo original. Featuring Carey Bell, Lowell Fulson and S.P. Leary. Cut corner. "Born With The Blues" is a seminal blues album that captures the essence of the genre through the lens of one of its most influential musicians. The album features a collection of tracks that showcase Memphis Slim's prowess on the piano and his distinctive, smooth vocal style. The album is a collection of original compositions all delivered with Slim's characteristic flair and emotional depth. The production on "Born With The Blues" is relatively stripped-down, allowing Slim's talents to shine through without unnecessary embellishments. The arrangements are straightforward, yet powerful, often featuring just piano, bass, guitar, harmonica and drums, which highlights the raw emotion and authenticity of the music. more

	Legacy Of The Blues Vol. 7 New - LP - GNPS 10017 Sealed 1976 Stereo 10 Track Compilation. “Following Discs Showcasing The Styles Of Blues Greats Bukka White, Champion Jack Dupree, Big Joe Williams, And Others, Pianist Memphis Slim Received His Due On Volume Seven Of GNP Crescendo's Legacy Of The Blues Series. Born And Raised In Memphis, TN, Slim Didn't Record Until Moving To Chicago In 1940. The Music That Followed Over The Next 14 Years (Numerous Sides As A Leader And Accompanist Scattered Across Ten Labels) Helped Define Urban Blues, Giving A Rural Music Form A Big-City Polish. This Set Gathers Nine Slim-Led Small Combo Performances Recorded For Producer Clyde Otis. The Disc Opens With Slim Revisiting One Of His Signature Tunes, The Excellent "Everyday I Got The Blues." Originally Recorded In 1948 As "Nobody Loves Me," The Song Has Since Become A Virtual Blues Standard, Having Been Rendered By Blues (B.B. King), Rock (Fleetwood Mac), And Jazz (Sarah Vaughan) Artists Alike. The Material That Follows Ranges From Up-Tempo Numbers Like "Let's Get With It," "Sally Mae," And "Broadway Blues" To The Shuffle Blues Of "A Long Time Gone" And The Slow Swagger Of "Gambler's Blues." Throughout The Set, Slim Is Happy To Lend The Spotlight To His Sidemen, Working The 88s Behind Eddie Chamblee's Tenor Solo On "I Am The Blues" And Billy Butler's Guitar On "Ballin' The Jack." Even In These Situations However, The Pianist Is Dazzling And His Commentary Always Worth Paying Attention To.” – Nathan Bush, AMG more

	Memphis Slim's tribute Used - LP - CJM 8023 1961 Deep Groove Mono Original. Light Wear On Top Seam. The Glossy LP Appears Unplayed. Rare! “Blues Pianist Memphis Slim, Harmonica Wizard Jazz Gillum, And Guitarist Arbee Stidham Assembled In A New York City Recording Studio On January 16, 1961, Under The Supervision Of Nat Hentoff To Track An Album Session For Candid Records. That They Did, But What Began To Emerge Was A Loose, Musical "Trialogue" On Departed Blues Artists That The Trio Had Either Known Or Been Influenced By, A List That Included Big Bill Broonzy, Leroy Carr, Cow Cow Davenport, Curtis Jones, Walter Davis, Roosevelt Sykes, Blind Blake, Washboard Sam, And Big Maceo, Each Of Whom Is Given A Tip Of The Hat In One Song Or Another. Slim's Piano Is A Bit Out Of Tune Throughout The Proceedings, As Is Stidham's Guitar, Which Makes This Less Than A Perfect Recording, But The Respect And Reverence And Wonderfully Loose, Intimate, And Ragged Delight These Three Veteran Blues Performers Bring To These Tracks Offset The Technical Defects. Highlights Include A Sparkling And Upbeat Version Of Cow Cow Davenport's "Cow Cow Blues," A Crisp Take On Roosevelt Sykes' "Forty-Four Blues," And A Vigorous Tip Of The Hat To Blind Blake On "Diggin' My Potatoes." The End Result Isn't A Perfect Album, Mostly Due To The Tuning Problems, But It Has A Very Real Intimacy To It, And It Unwinds Like An Easy Musical Reminiscence Between Three Old Friends. This Tribute From Slim, Jazz, And Arbee May Not Be Essential, But It Sure Is Honest, And True To The Name Of The Record Label, It Is Indeed Candid. There's Something To Be Said For That.” Steve Leggett, AMG. more
