Look At Grandma Watusi CD

The incredible sound of Piano Slim, sourced from the original master tapes.
Piano Slim was born Willard Burton in Houston, Texas.
He played with legendary musicians such as T-Bone Walker, Johnny Winter, Johnny Copeland, and Bobby "Blue" Bland.
Even so, he is often confused with another Piano Slim, Robert T Smith.
While Willard "Piano Slim" Burtons' recording career lasted nearly thirty years, this collection concentrates on his solo outings from 1959 to 1962, including his first two singles, plus a bonanza of previously unreleased masters.
These songs range from the Sam Cooke influenced ballad of Raise Your Head to the Little Richard/Fats Domino inspired rocker Lotta Shakin' Lotta of Jivin', to instrumental ravers such as Key Jammer, Do It Now, Aw Get It and Pat Your Rock to dance-craze themed songs such as Look At Grandma Watusi!, Mister Twister, Spinning Top and Ennis Lee.
So take a journey back in time with Piano Slim as your guide.
