Search - Sunnyland Slim :: Smile on My Face

Sunnyland Slim didn't just tickle the ivories, he made them sing as few pianists can. This album, originally recorded in 1977 and never released in the U.S.(it was released in England in the mid-1980s), is full of everything that made Slim a legend in his own time, despite the fact he never had a hit in a half-century of recording. Topnotch musicianship, seamless integration with his band, and a playful inventiveness make Smile on My Face a real treat. Part of a series of Delmark albums produced by Ralph Bass, Smile shows Slim still at the top of his form in his later years. --Genevieve Williams
