Album Notes
Personnel include: Sunnyland Slim (vocals, piano); Floyd Jones, Johnny Shines, Leroy Foster, Robert Lockwood Jr. (vocals, guitar).
Sunnyland Slim recorded on a number of labels in the late 1940s and early '50s, but each of the sides he waxed represented the blues artist's dazzling skill on the ivories and his keening, resonant vocals. Fortunately, SUNNYLAND SLIM & HIS PALS--THE CLASSIC SIDES, a handsome and well-compiled box set, brings together these various recordings under one cover. Across four discs, each of which contains 26 tracks, Sunnyland Slim and his backing musicians stomp out a template for piano-driven Chicago blues that belongs in the library of any fan of the genre.
