Magic Slim & the Teardrops

b. Morris Holt, 7 August 1937, Torrence, Grenada, Mississippi, USA. Blues guitarist and vocalist Magic Slim became thinking about music during child years. He relocated first to close by Grenada, Mississippi, and to Chicago in 1955, where he worked well as bass participant for Magic Sam, who offered Holt his name. He acquired a false identification card in order that he could perform bass with Sam within the pubs and night clubs. After completing that stay, he turned back to acoustic guitar and performed having a Chicago music group known as Mr. Pitiful AS WELL AS THE Teardrops. When that music group split up, he relocated back again to Mississippi before time for Chicago once more in 1965, where he re-formed the Teardrops along with his two brothers (Nick, the bass participant, became a long term member). The music group recorded its 1st single for the neighborhood Wes label in 1966, and another for the similarly little Mean Mistreater label in 1970. It had been not really until 1978 that Magic Slim AS WELL AS THE Teardrops began documenting in earnest, adding four tracks for an Alligator Information anthology. Which was accompanied by a live recording for the tiny Chocolate Apple label in addition to recordings manufactured in France, that have been released in america on Alligator as Natural Magic in 1982. That same 12 months he documented the extremely praised Grand Slam for Rooster Blues Information. A live recording documented in Austria, Chicago Blues Program, adopted in 1987. Gravel Street, released on the tiny Blind Pig label in america, was released in 1990. His audio could very well be the tightest of any Chicago blues music group working currently. This consistently fulfilling blues musician offers documented singles for several labels but, lately, has recorded generally for the Wolf Record label in Austria and Blind Pig in SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA..
