Magic Slim - Live at B.L.U.E.S (1987)

01 Luv Somebody 
02 Poorman But A Good Man, Gambler's Blues 
03 Jimmie 
04 Help Yourself 
05 Mother Fuyer 
06 That Will Never Do 
07 Keep A Drivin 

 Captured at Chicago's intimate B.L.U.E.S. nightclub, this is surely one of the best live sets the quartet ever committed to tape. The vinyl time constraints limited the program to eight songs, but apart from a marathon "Mother Fuyer," and they're not his usual standards -- Chuck Willis's grinding "Keep a Drivin'," a resigned "Poor Man But a Good Man," and Slim's own "Help Yourself."
