EXPERT RATING:

From AMG Reviews

Document's 1931-1937 rounds up 18 of Bumble Bee Slim's best sides. The collection highlights Slim's easygoing style -- even when the tempo starts rocking, his vocals are relaxed -- which he had based on Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell. He found great success because he was happy to follow expectations, turning in side after side of laidback country-blues. These 18 songs contain many of his best -- including "No Woman No Nickel," "Bye Bye Baby Blues, ' "Deep Bass Boogie," "Can't You Trust Me No More," "I Done Lost My Baby," "Steady Roll Mama Blues," "How Long, How Long Blues" and "Going Back to Florida" -- making it the best available overview of his peak years.
