Magic Slim works his magic at Moondog’s

May 18th, 2008 by

roboquirk

From a review in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

He begged, he pleaded, he shouted the blues — his magic fingers bending blues strings into tough notes that stab at the heartstrings.

Slim (Morris Holt, if you must know), wasn’t exactly without help on the stage. The band, as nearly as I could tell, included Lenny Media on drums, Danny O’Connor on bass, and the quite excellent in his own right Jon McDonald on guitar and vocals when Slim took a break.

They backed him with tight, crackling work, just what a Chicago combo should be.
