  Coyote Slim claims to have been struck by the Blues after experiencing a rattlesnake bite-induced trance whilst hiking in the Mojave Desert , and the man dubbed "Son House Junior" attributes his guitar prowess in part to instructions he receives in his dreams. Apocryphal tales aside, these two self-produced CDs are a highly accomplished reflection of the 30-something Los Angeles native's delta Blues influences. Slim's deep and resonant voice (one of the blackest you'll ever hear from a white boy) booms out over his acoustic guitar and slide, storming through renditions of Blues standards such as 'Rollin' And Tumblin' and Big Joe Williams' 'Baby, Please Don't Go' with an impassioned urgency that would make the mighty Son House himself proud. Thankfully though, Slim avoids the trap of merely regurgitating the songs of the Blues masters, and mixes the standards with originals such as the excellent 'Slim's Worried Life Blues', and the captivating instrumental, 'Sahel Stomp'. Perhaps the greatest compliment I can pay these two albums of moody, atmospheric delta Blues is that they are very often redolent of Muddy Waters' 'The Complete Plantation Recordings' - a man who himself idolised a certain Eddie James House JR. 'Son House Junior' indeed…
