Madison Slim honed his harp skills in Chicago, and spent time playing with Jimmy Rogers, Sam Lay, the Legendary Blues Band, and Reverend Raven to name a few. His biggest influence was Big Walter Horton. With his sonorous tone, fantastic phrasing, subtle rhythmic fills, and plenty of rollicking harp solos, Slim seats you firmly in a smokey little bar with a glass of "Jack" in your hand. The rhythm section is unsurpassable with their flawless execution of the Chicago sound that just gets under your feet and makes you want to move. "Close... But No Cigar" is a top drawer Chicago-style, raucous, but slick, boogie-woogie blues album, and it might just make some noise at the 2016 Blues Music Awards.
