Catfight?!?!

Wolf and I have sat in some great bars and talked Rock & Roll in a couple of our nation’s greatest cities (OK: Minneapolis and Las Vegas), and this is simply an electronic continuation of those conversations.

You know what, that makes a lot of sense RJ. I’m pretty sure that is Jim Dickinson playing keyboards. Considering he played piano on the Stones Sticky Fingers, it makes perfect sense he played during these sessions.

Now that I research it, Memphis Slim was busy dying in France during that time.

Good job, Wolf. I like the keyboard sound on the first cut but miss the horns. And the second song– yeah, I can hear them reaching for that Big Star sound– ultimately gets to be a little too busy.
* I would caution you not to mix up Memphis Slim (the legendary blues pianist) with East Memphis Slim (which somebody once told me was a nom-de-plume of producer Jim Dickinson)
