Harlem Slim – vocals, guitar

 

Little is known about the life of itinerant delta bluesman Harlem Slim. What we do know, though, is that he was born in the New York area in the mid 1900's and that he began playing 1930's delta blues and piedmont ragtime/blues at a very early age.

He plays in the styles of Robert Johnson, Johnny Shines, Blind Willie McTell, Blind Boy Fuller, and Blind Blake. He is known to have associated with Louisiana Red, Memphis Slim, Billy Gibbons, Bob Brozman, Derek Trucks, Eric Johnson, and Dave Davies.

Harlem Slim plays and sings traditional delta blues and ragtime/blues solo acoustic and electric (fingerstyle, both bottleneck slide and fretted) on a variety of original 1920's & 30's vintage instruments. --- artistdirect.com

Harlem Slim is a master of the pre-World War II Delta blues sound as practiced by Robert Johnson, Blind Willie Mctell, and others. Here, Harlem is a full-strumming, vigorous conjuror of Delta spirits. He is a stellar talent in performing Delta blues and Piedmont ragtime guitar. His style of the vintage Southern blues styles is as good as the originals. --- Tom Schulte, Rovi
