If you know Shrimp City Slim, you know what to expect...here's another free-wheeling, all-original set that dances across the gamut from cabaret music & New Wave to fusion, piano ballads, and R&B all dusted with a bit o' the blues. An exciting collection of 11 studio cuts with the band Ancestor Worship, plus four solo pieces and one live track...beautifully compiled and remastered for CD. A whopping 65:27 running time! Says Shrimp, "A lot of people probably identify Shrimp City Slim with the blues. And, oh yeah, my band and I play the blues (& original songs) everywhere, all year long. In fact, we look forward to rockin' your town sometime soon. "But, when all's said & done, I really don't make that much of a distinction between writing/playing inside or outisde the blues format. To me, it's all just a question of entering the zone and letting the spirit fly, regardless of which box you might try to force the music into. I try to keep an open mind." Whether you're already into Shrimp City Slim or a new friend with a curiosity for music, we know you'll love "Ancestor Worship".
