Happy Birthday to Slim Harpo, born Born James Moore on Jan 11, 1924 in Lobdell, Louisiana.
We'd all go to Dick Taylor's house, in his back room, some other cats would come along and play,
and we'd try to lay some of this Little Walter stuff and Chuck Berry stuff. No drummer or anything.
Just two guitars and a little amplifier... Then we found Slim Harpo, we started to really find people.
- Keith Richards, 1971, on the pre-Stones days
Our common ground with Brian back (in the early days) was Elmore James and Muddy Waters. We laid
Slim Harpo on him, and Fred McDowell.
- Keith Richards, 1971
The Album That Smells Like the Swamp: Slim Harpo, "Raining in My Swamp" (1961)
