Description
With acoustic blues roots, his resonator guitar, layered vocals and improvised percussive grooves, singer/songwriter King Size Slim has created a stunning debut studio album.
The big warm tones from his resonator guitar along with a powerful and direct vocal delivery are the trade marks of singer/songwriter King Size Slim.
Add rolling grooves with multi-layers of percussion and vocals, harmonica, hand-claps, foot stomps, myriad shakers, even sweeping brooms and pots and pans, as well as some enriching guest performances (including Andy Newmark, drummer for Sly Stone and Lennon's "Double Fantasy", then you have a debut studio album that truly shines a light on the original compositions of a songwriter steeped in a world of music that is fully conscious of its roots but at the same time has a new story to tell.
With a sound that is unashamedly rooted in blues, this is not a collection of 12 bar shuffles and riffing solos.
In the spirit of the Alan Lomax field recordings and using that organic approach, King Size Slim has delivered a collection of songs that have an earthy warmth and reality, dealing with topics many of us face or see around us in the world today – love and loss, parenthood, social injustice and the widely understood need for socio-economic and political change.
