Texas Slim could very well be a reincarnate of a passed soulful singer who plays guitar and is once again carving out a niche in music history.
Born and raised in Dallas, TX.... Slim from an early age met and played with the great Alex Moore, (who first recorded the blues in 1929) and later Little Joe Blue.
In March of 2002 Slim released his second solo effort "I Have Arrived" which includes the talents of Aaron Comess (Spin Doctors). In addition to his own records, Slim has record and toured with Cold Blue Steel, Randy McAllister, FOAMY (New Bohemians) and has graced the stages of the House of Blues as well as one of the first artists to ever play a Hard Rock Cafe.

Feverishly Funky andTerrifyingly Toe Tapping, Clever and On Target
author: Southwest Blues
There's some good stuff on the CD. Lots of nice moments. Slim handles his chops, so to speak, and is adept at playfully and pleasantly pontificating the back breaking blues. All original tunes to be heard. All written by Slim himself. It's feverishly funky and terrifyingly toe tapping. Check out the cool tune "Super Hero Morning Brew" or the aptly named "Cowtown Rain Dance." Slim handles the compositions with a superior hand. His songwriting is clever and on target. He knows how to turn a phrase and measure a catchy groove. I enjoyed the track "Whiskey Mama" quite a bit. The drum bass and everything else, man, Comess turns into some solid work on all the various instruments he plays. There is an especially stirring track "NYC Pride" that seems to relate to the 9/11 tragedy. It's a great tune with a great message.

Slim Burns on this CD!
author: Dennis Dullea
The real deal from Dallas Y'all. Slim lays down authentic Texas Blues gristle on vocals combined with his great funky, sassy guitar work that slides off his fingers and says "Texas" all over it. Most guitar players just wish they could be half this good. Right on Slim!
