Chicago Slide the Final Shows 1982

Recorded in Mutualite, France and Montreux, Switzerland, this 2 CD set captures two shows from 1982, late in Hutto's career. Both are rocking examples of the raucous style of electric blues from Chicago that Hutto was best known for. Hutto reins things in on slower tunes (Say Goodbye) where his stinging guitar style accents his no nonsense vocals. Not known for his vocal skills, it's Hutto's fearsome electric slide playing and piercing single note style that makes him such an exciting performer. He's one in a long line of influential electric slide guitarists, from Elmore James to Hound Dog Taylor to Robert Nighthawk and John Littlejohn and others who carried the torch of slashing, intense blues guitar into the present time.
