Magda & Slidin' Slim - new CD!
Polish vocalist Magda Piskorczyk and Swedish musician Slidin’ Slim performed together at the Satyrblues Festival in Tarnobrzeg, Poland in September 2009. It was their first joint performance, preceded only with a short sound check. Magda and Slim met the evening before at the airport. In the beginning they were supposed to play only for a quarter and in duo. However...
As it is stated in "Gitarzysta" magazine 2010/01: "Their joint concert was so much liked by the audience that planned 15 minutes turned into 45 and the encore only seemed to intensify hunger for more."
The album presents 7 songs. Magda and Slim sing by turns. They both play guitars: Magda - acoustic and Slim - dobro. They are accompanied by two musicians from Magda’s band: Aleksandra Siemieniuk on electric guitar and Grzegorz Zawiliński on limited percussion set containing instruments such as a washboard and spoons. In the CD there is a video presentation of all the concert too.
Slidin’ Slim is a master of a metal guitar called dobro, a talented songwriter and singer with a strong "American" vocal. Playing his resophonic guitar he is able to enchant the audience with the spirit of old blues masters. But he is not afraid of experiments with loops and other trance electronic. In 2007 he released "One Man Riot" - album which blends modern sounds with classic blues.
