Artist

Guitar Slim, Jr.

Last updated: 9 hours ago

Despite the fact that his first album earned a Grammy nomination, Guitar Slim Jr. remains a somewhat shadowy figure to the blues public. The son of <a href="spotify:artist:6fxCRWTrlk6wDMM4Gn421s">Eddie "Guitar Slim" Jones</a>, his real name is Rodney Armstrong. According to New Orleans-historian Jeff Hannusch's notes on Slim's 1988 album, he "has been a fixture on the Black New Orleans club circuit for the better part of 20 years...[but] doesn't get to play the posher uptown clubs." His Orleans album featured mostly covers of his father's inspirational blues, which he was loath to play earlier in life, but Slim is also known for his extensive soul repertoire. ~ Jim O'Neal, Rovi
