SLIM HARPO - BABY SCRATCH MY BACK (LP)

2021 REISSUE via AMERICANA ANTHROPOLOGY. BLACK VINYL LP.

"The quintessential swamp blues specimen in its mighty mono glory! Slim Harpo’s swamp blues stylings earned him almost instantaneous success, his first single quickly becoming a blues standard and later a British Invasion darling. Originally released on Nashville’s Excello Records, Slim’s ‘66 LP is full of his signature harmonica and nasal tenor, its double entendre-laced title track being the most successful of his short career. Influential to a wide array of artists (Otis Redding, The Rolling Stones, Flamin’ Groovies, and many others have covered Slim’s songs), Baby Scratch My Back gets its long overdue first reissue!"
