专辑简介

Two of the more celebrated bluesman of the 21st century, multiple Blues Music Award-winner Watermelon Slim and Super Chikan, have paired up for Okiesippi Blues, a record whose title pays homage to the respective home states of these two artists. Slim and Chikan are both idiosyncratic sorts, so the potential to amaze is balanced by the possibility of a train wreck. Instead we get another in the long line of stellar collaborations that does neither and the opener “Trucking Blues” demonstrates why. The dialog interspersed throughout the song quickly wears thin, leaving us with a repetitive guitar riff with a few nice harp figures from Slim.
