MEDIA REACTION TO Watermelon Slim :

"Watermelon Slim incarnates the depest and truest roots of American Music. Combine Jimmie Rodgers, The Carter Family and Bob Wills with Blind Lemon, Sonny Boy Williamson and Wilson Pickett and there you have Slim

- A one of a kind Pickin n' Singin' Okie Dynamo"

- Jerry Wexler, Lengendary Atlantic Records Producer ( Ray Charles )

“This guy is the real deal. In his playing you can hear ancient blues sound echoing into the new millennium.”

- Chip Eagle, BLUES REVUE & BLUESWAX

“Blues this real and funky ought to be outlawed, but thank goodness they’re not. 5 stars out of 5”

- THE TIMES

“His music will haunt your dreams long after the last note is plucked."

- CREATIVE LOAFING

"Slim’s bass-to-falsetto range on the opening song sent shivers down my spine…"

- LIVING BLUES

“A performer deeply connected to the primal forces that shaped the blues long before it crawled up the hillbilly highway to Chicago and other points north.”

- The Memphis Flyer
