MEMPHIS SLIM ROOSEVELT SYKES EDDIE BOYD POST WAR RECORDINGS There was a time, when Chicago blues pianists ruled the roost in the taverns where blues was played. Many homes had pianos, too, and when rent parties were thrown an 88-er could work all night for food and drink, showing off his latest licks to his peers who waited their turn to shine. It was a hand-to-mouth existence but if those hands could stretch an octave or more then the mouth would be provided for. MEMPHIS SLIM 1. Now I Got The Blues 2. Don’t Ration My Love 3.
