After the more than splendid free ranging skill and artistry that was undoubtedly displayed on Texas Slim's previous stunning live album entitled "Cookin' With Gas", he some five days later went into the studio to record this album for your delight and delectation. An album that will yet again dazzle, impress and amaze all who hear this hard hitting no-nonsense deadly, earthy, blasting Texan guitarslinger. To maintain the intensity of feeling and to hold onto that grooving, cruising vibe, the whole album was recorded in three days - twelve of the numbers were set down in two days on the 15th and 16th of March 2011 at the Vox studios, Italy, the remaining three numbers were recorded on the 10th of May 2011 at Audio, Dallas, Texas.
The musicians joining Texas Slim on the Italian sessions were as on the live album that being the rock solid powerhouse combination of Martin Iotti on bass, Lele Zamperini on drums and Max Lugli lovingly blasting away on the harmonica. For the American sessions we have two long time collaborators of Texas Slim, Bill Cornish on bass and Kenny Stern on drums, and together they give a helping hand to provide the seamless backing that is found throughout the whole album.
In conversation with Norman Darwen, Texas Slim explained that he believes "European audiences listen more carefully to the music to appreciate it and respect it as work of art". He further stated that "You feel like a big star when people cheer for you at the concerts - it makes you play better". He also went on to clearly and succinctly define what he believes to be is the essence of the blues and what it means: "The music is simple so it can be enjoyed without any analysis. The blues is what comes from your heart. While your mind winds down to relax from everyday worries. Blues is from the heart and for the heart! It can be sad, happy, angry or humorous". These very beliefs are amply demonstrated by the hypnotically played music on this album. /Excerpt from liner notes by Brian Harman
