Big Creek Slim & Rodrigo Mantovani Stone In My Heart (CD)

(Straight Shooter) 12 tracks, digisleeve.

Big Creek Slim is a bluesman as sure as the day is long. Don't believe it? Listen to that voice. Feel the passion and intensity he brings to the blues.  Big Creek Slim's trademark is authentic pre-war country blues and early Chicago blues. Right now he is the hottest Scandinavian blues name and has received a rain of awards, and has wowed the blues crowds all over Europe

Stone In My Heart is a time capsule in two ways. First, anyone who knows Big Creek Slim knows that his music is rooted in the acoustic country blues of the 1930s/1940s American South. Big Creek is a master of the music of that time and place, both technically and in terms of the energy, language and overall mood that brings the music to life.
He is supported by double bassist Rodrigo Mantovani, who creates a musical framework that frees Big Creek from the rhythmic constraints of a solo performance.
A native of Brazil, Mantovani is an internationally recognized double bassist who, at the ripe old age of 38, has been playing professionally for more than 20 years. He is currently a member of the Nick Moss Band and lives in Chicago. Stone In My Heart is his second collaboration with Big Creek, following the 2018 duo release First Born.
Mantovani is excited about the collaboration with Big Creek.
