This CD features Wixom Slim & the Wyze Gyze's rendition of some classic blues standards. They were recorded live in Metro Detroit's corner blues joints. And 15 songs for well under 10 bucks is a STEAL!!!! ( the cd is actually Free, its the artwork your paying for)
Nothing has been remixed or altered to change the sound - It's just as it sounded live at the clubs... sometimes even off key or skipping a note, but ain't that the blues!! And no big money went into "mastering" this piece, as we're NOT trying to polish up anything "real".
This is our first release since our CD "Amtrak Shuffle". We are proud to have drummer Pete Berg on board, one of the former members of Detroit's Alligators Band. More Wyze Gyze voices are also heard on this CD. Guitarist Pete Bullard and Bassist Don Oatman each belt out a couple of songs with all of the energy and excitement that make WSWG the band that it is today!
Many thanks to Matt Zacharias for his recording efforts at the joints. Also, thanks to the following guest artists who also appear on this CD: Wolf Tytschkowski(vocals/guitar on steamroller), drummers Greg Carriere & Jeff Giles. A special thanks to Deanna Hamel for artwork, band photos and design.

Bluesfully Yours, Wixom Slim

Good cross section of music - a few outstanding vocals/harmonica and consistent band back-up... I think their cd - "Amtrak Shuffle" had a better overall content.

5{ontemporary blues from Detroit , Detroit is definitely on my must list of places to visit on my next trip to the USA. The music is varied and always of high quality with fine playing from all concerned particularly Wixom Slim’s harp playing.

A Great West Coast Swing Style Band from DETROIT!!!!
author: Jessie Mondo- Belgian Blues Review
Superb West Coast jump style band from Michigan. All musicians are 1st class. Wixom Slim is a brillant harp player able to match his masters, Rick Estrin and James Harman. That band can produce an excellent jazz & blues swing indeed!
