Brazilian Kicks

CD Details

Lynwood Slim is a name synonymous with West Coast Blues. Over the years Slim has built up an impressive catalog of iconic recordings (including 1991’s Lost In America featuring Junior Watson, as well as the Big Rhythm Combo’s 1994 release Too Small To Dance with Kid Ramos), which subsequently helped him to attain world-wide renown and endeared him to a legion of fans around the globe with a devout affection for California Blues. While traveling on tour outside the U.S., Slim also obtained a considerable reputation for identifying fresh new talent, and soon found his skills and expertise enlisted to help produce numerous projects for gifted artists throughout Europe, Canada and more recently, South America. Brazilian Kicks teams up California native Lynwood Slim with the premier jump blues outfit, the Igor Prado Band from Brazil, for a surprisingly tasteful and swingin’ set of music featuring the smoldering guitar acrobatics of left-handed, upside-down guitarist Igor Prado. The resulting album is a tantalizing cocktail blend of American roots music – or as Lynwood Slim so eloquently puts it, “Jazz and Blues are different fleas on the same dog.”!!!!
