Vinyl LP of 1962 Paris Performance!
This 1962 outing in Paris was recorded, documenting the performance of blues giants Memphis Slim and Willie Dixon. The duo are backed here by drummer Phillipe Combelle.
Piano-pumper Memphis Slim and bass-thumper Willie Dixon were kindred spirits. Both men were commanding vocalists and brilliant songwriters who played key roles in shaping the Chicago blues sound of the 1950s, though their roots were in an earlier era. Usually preferring to work separately, the two blues titans came together for this low-key, but gusto-filled set. This recording from Paris, 1962 stands as a vital document of that association and one that deserves to be heard on vinyl.
