Nice raw blues
author: John O\'Connor
This is not jazz blues, or even rock blues, this is just plain old fashioned blues. Reed on harmonica is great, and Spalding and Smith are at worst good and at best excellent. The ukulele is used primarily as a chording rhythm instrument and the guitar lines are based on traditional blues licks. I do wish they would do more two harmonica stuff, though. Perhaps Reed taking lead and Spalding answering. This is a good CD, though, and more than worth the price.

Slim Junior is the Real Deal!
author: Stoddard's Hale
Slim Junior has added a little Hawaiian flavor to their blues with the addition of Larry Spalding's splendid ukulele. Rick Smith is an excellent guitarist and it's easy to see why harp player Brian Reed is often called "Big Tone"! All three of these guys can sing too! This CD offers up a nice selection of classic blues. Slim Junior is the Real Deal!
