LYNWOOD SLIM "LAST CALL"
Source: Baltimore Blues Society

Date: 08/2006

While the cast of characters has some crossover with the Mannish Boys and the Blue Flames this disc is a bit more upscale lounge to their roadhouse. Kid Ramos and Kirk Fletcher are the primary guitar foils to Slims smooth vocals and harp. The Clifton Chenier zydeco rocker “All Night Long” is given an interesting treatment with Rich DelGrosso’s mandolin driving the song instead of accordion. The easy shuffle “Across The Sea” (no, not Bobby Darin’s) should please any purist. “Say It” features a sonic change up with the Chicago Blues Angels (Nick and Kate Moss, Armando Cortez) backing up Slim. Moss’s sharp stinging tone is softened by some subtle background vocals that give the cut a vintage feel. Plenty here to enjoy.
