The son of bluesman Magic Slim struts his stuff in this young four-piece band who prove once and for all that age has nothing to do with one's ability to feel and play the blues. Recorded live at the Zoo Bar in Lincoln, NE, Lil' Slim's debut CD is as tight and professional as any you'll hear. This a no-nonsense ensemble with a real passion for the music that transcends any imaginary barriers of location, race, or style. After all, Lincoln is one of the most musical towns in the U.S.A., from their rockabilly stars to their tight-knit musicians network, and Lil' Slim is right in the heart of it all, promoted by manager Larry Boehmer (owner of the Zoo Bar and father of one of the band members).

The album is loaded with originals, from the set opener "Take Me Home" to "She's So Fine" and the slow blues of "As the Years Go Passing By." And the band simply rocks on their cover of Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle," the same tune that helped put the Black Crowes on the map. There is the slow, old-school style "Shake It" and a hot guitar instrumental which Slim introduces as his theme song, "Alley Noise." Lil' Slim and the Back Alley Blues Band have the talent and the showmanship to forge a name for themselves in the big leagues of blues bands. /AllMusic
