Slim Harpo - Slim Harpo Knew The Blues album flac

James Isaac Moore (January 11, 1924 – January 31, 1970), better known by his stage name Slim Harpo, was an American blues musician, a leading exponent of the swamp blues style, and "one of the most commercially successful blues artists of his day". His most successful and influential recordings included "I'm a King Bee" (1957), "Rainin' In My Heart" (1961), and "Baby Scratch My Back" (1966) which reached no. 1 on the R&B chart and n. 6 on the US pop chart.

Artists such as Harpo, Lightnin’ Slim, Guitar Gable, Silas Hogan and Katie Webster cut blues numbers that lacked the harshness of the amplified blues being laid down by Howlin’ Wolf and Muddy Waters in Chicago but instead relied with simple but tight arrangements and a mellowness and directness that the listener could immediately identify with. Blues music fans in my particular age group have always held a high regard for harmonica player extraordinaire James Isaac Moore, better known as Slim Harpo. Many first learned of Slim from the Rolling Stones' cover of "I'm A King Bee" from their debut album. I was fourteen years old when Slim released "Baby Scratch My Back" in 1966-my very first Blues purchase. A couple of years later Mick Jagger famously said "What's the point of listening to us do "I'm A King Bee" when you can listen to Slim Harpo do it?"

Harpo's first record became a double-sided R&B hit, spawning numerous follow-ups on the "King Bee" theme, but even bigger was "Rainin' in My Heart," which made the Billboard Top 40 pop charts in the summer of 1961. It was another perfect distillation of Harpo's across-the-board appeal, and was immediately adapted by country, Cajun, and rock & roll musicians; anybody could play it and sound good doing it. In the wake of the Rolling Stones covering "I'm a King Bee" on their first album, Slim had the biggest hit of his career in 1966 with.

Slim Harpo ( ). Back when the Rolling Stones were proud to be the voice of revolt and Mick Jagger was as far away from his knighthood as Zayn Malik is from a seat in the House of Lords, they were, very occasionally, modest, not to say humble. Harpo’s name doesn't loom large in the blues hall of fame. Maybe that's because his relatively early death at the age of 46 in 1970 meant that he wasn’t able to move from what was already becoming a diminishing black audience for the blues and move into the white market like his near contemporaries, BB King and John Lee Hooker. He did enjoy a couple of pop hits – Rainin' In My Heart and I'm a King Bee - but there would be no appearances at Monterey or overseas.
