There are definite signs of Slim's increasing frailty on this solo outing from the 1980s, but the majestic power of his aging frame comes through frequently nevertheless.

Sunnyland Slim was born Albert Luandrew on September 5, 1907 in Vance, Mississippi. He taught himself to play piano on a pump organ and began working at jukes and movie houses in the Delta area in the early 1920s. Sunnyland played in Memphis on Beale Street as a solo act and a sideman. He often he played with Ma Rainey and Little Brother Mongomery. In 1928, Sunnyland wrote "Sunnyland Train" and earned his nickname.
In the 1940s, Sunnyland moved to Chicago working with Jump Jackson's band and Muddy Waters. He recorded under pseudonyms such as Dr. Clayton's Buddy and Delta Joe. He also worked with John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson before cutting eight sides for the RCA Records label. He continued to record for a vast number of labels between 1948 and 1956 while also performing regularly in clubs around Chicago.
In 1963, Sunnyland toured Europe and recorded for a variety of labels including Delmark, Liberty, Storyville, and Spivey. Sunnyland Began his own record label in 1970 called Airways and continued to record, tour, and play clubs at a grueling pace. He enjoyed a long career as a blues musician and was perhaps the most enduring artist of blues. Sunnyland continued performing in the Chicago area well into his eighties until his death in 1995.
