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."
