Biography of Slim Harpo
Born James Moore, this popular Louisiana blues singer played both guitar and neck-rack harmonica in a more down-home approximation of Jimmy Reed, who plowed similar turf with a more pronounced Chicago edge to it. Slim's music was more laidback than Reed's (if such a notion is possible) but the rhythm was insistent, and Harpo's material not only made the national charts from time to time but also was quite adaptable for white blues-rock bands, including The Rolling Stones, the Yardbirds, the Kinks, and the Fabulous Thunderbirds. ~ Cub Koda
