Album Notes

Lead vocalist and harpist, Wixom Slim, has been honing his blues skills in the Motor City for over 2 decades. Since teaming up with the Wyze Gyze, he and the group have developed a Jump Blues and Jazzy Swing style that is really the tip of the whip! Below are some liner notes excerpts that really give you the flavor of this new release:

"This CD is our salute to the music that we love to play---Jump Blues and West Coast Swing! Our keyboardist wrote the CD's title track and the other cuts are a tribute to the artists that have most heavily influenced us.

This box o' blues was recorded live, either on stage or in the studio. We have used only our live voices, instruments and tube amplifiers- no special overdubbing, electronic tricks or gizmos to doctor up the sound. It's the sound you'll hear when you see WSWG live at your local blues joint."
