    I bought this album (He Knew The Blues) when I was a student, and listened to it almost every night before I went to sleep. Wonderful stuff from start to finish. Slim Harpo's vocals and harp are beautiful throughout, and add Rudolph Richard's guitar solos (and duets, as on this track) and you have some very fine blues. My favourite is Mutual Friend. There is a lovely passage where Slim says "Play the blues, just one time!" and there follows one of the best 20 seconds of blues guitar you will ever hear.

    I love this thread of appreciation of a legend that I have known of too but had not properly listened to. When I did, I was 100% addicted and in awe of his talent and genius. Now I am hooked on trying to find a moving, singing, playing, blowing video of him, but the web throws up blanks like he was never there, or it's been confiscated. Please shed some light if you've been down the rabbit hoke and come out empty-handed. I must see Slim Harpo in action.

    Electric guitar as a LEAD blues instrument goes back at least to T Bone Walker in the 1940's. Check it all out. Slim is awesome, but there are also other great, early blues singers. Not to mention Junior Wells on blues harmonica. Have fun. It's all good.
