Shrimp City Slim: Recordings

(2006) 15 songs, 51:17 /Solo & acoustic: piano/vocal /Includes "Broom & Hose", "Places I Can't Go No More","(We Should Be) Naked", more. Recorded live-to-CD on a big old grand piano in an historic church in downtown Charleston. A personal favorite.

(2003) 12 songs, 59:32 /
Live tracks, includes "Highway 17", "Lowcountry Mama", and "Call Me in Carolina", more.

(2000) 17 songs, 65:27 / Recordings from the early '80s in Boston, including the original version of "Lovely on the Water" (also heard on Wanda Johnson's "Natural Resource", 2006). Band members include Craig Hlady (Berklee School of Music faculty), Doug Nally (later drums with Stanley Turrentine, Rachelle Farrell, more).

(1994) 15 songs, 57:09
Includes "Charleston" / guests include Skeeter Brandon, Steve James, Roger Bellow. A classic of the Lowcountry blues tradition.

Solo piano CD released September, 2012, offers improvisations on eleven original themes from 1971-1980. Partly inspired by travels in Mexico and South America, this crossover volume represents part of another side of Shrimp City Slim. Calm, cool, pensive, brooding, this is a departure we hope you will enjoy.

(1998) 20 songs, 69:53
Includes "Charleston Strut", "Good Good Love", "I Don't Wanna Be in Town (When Your Payback Comes Around)", more. One of my favorite releases.

(1996) 20 songs, 72:16 / Includes "Money Stupid", "Gossip (Will Only Make Us Stronger", "One Day", more. During the sessions, our recording engineer kept calling this "a box set" (due to the length!).

(1992) 14 songs, 54:21 / The first CD featuring Silent Eddie Phillips on guitar, Juke Joint Johnny, harmonica; includes "Tommy's House", "God Is Calling", and JJJ's harp version of "Amazing Grace".
