The most complete gathering of Slim's 1958-1959 Vee-Jay output available on disc (16 songs to the even dozen on the Gate of Horn domestic disc) and the best-sounding too. This is the crowning achievement in Memphis Slim's massive legacy -- he delivers his classics one right after another, backed by his unparalleled combo that was anchored by Matt &Guitar& Murphy's startlingly fresh solos. Along with the standbys -- &Messin' Around,& &Mother Earth,& &Wish Me Well& -- there's the catchy instrumental &Steppin' Out,& later covered by Eric Clapton; the romping &What's the Matter,& and a blistering &Rockin' the House& where the band nearly sails right out of the studio!
