Description
IN THE LARGE STABLE OF BLUES TALENT THAT CROWLEY, LA, PRODUCER JAY MILLER RECORDED FOR THE NASHVILLE-BASED “EXCELLO” LABEL, NO ONE ENJOYED MORE MAINSTREAM SUCCESS THAN SLIM HARPO. JUST A SHADE BEHIND LIGHTNIN’ SLIM IN LOCAL POPULARITY, HARPO PLAYED BOTH GUITAR AND NECK-RACK HARMONICA IN A MORE DOWN-HOME APPROXIMATION OF JIMMY REED, WITH A FEW DISCERNIBLE, AND DISTINCTIVE, DIFFERENCES. HARPO WAS MORE ADAPTABLE THAN REED OR MOST OTHER BLUESMEN... HIS MATERIAL NOT ONLY MADE THE NATIONAL CHARTS, BUT ALSO PROVED TO BE QUITE ADAPTABLE FOR WHITE ARTISTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ATLANTIC –––– UP FOR AUCTION A 1961 FIRST MONO PRESSING ON THE “EXCELLO” ORANGE LABEL IN VERY NICE CONDITION... THE FRONT SIDE COVER IS FINE, REAR SHOWS RESIDUE OF OLD REMOVED STICKERS.
