Lightnin' Slim
Lightnin' Slim was a Louisiana bluesman known for his raw, electrifying guitar playing and deep, soulful vocals. Born Otis Hicks in 1913, he became a key figure in the swamp blues scene, recording for the legendary Excello Records in the 1950s and '60s. His gritty sound, often backed by fellow blues legend Lazy Lester on harmonica, featured hypnotic grooves and a laid-back but powerful delivery. Tracks like "Rooster Blues" and "Hoodoo Blues" showcased his signature style—moody, driving, and unmistakably Southern. Though he never saw massive mainstream success, Lightnin' Slim's influence on blues and rock musicians alike is undeniable, and his music remains a cornerstone of the Louisiana blues tradition.
