With East Side Slim
East Side Slim takes you cruising on many musical roads, with all leading back to the crossroad - the blues. Come on along for the ride on Rhythm Highways. You'll hear American music - music that swings, rolls and comes from the soul. Tune in to hear blues, R&B, gospel, swing, soul, rock 'n' roll, jazz and roadhouse, even the occasional honky tonk or western swing song. Rhythm Highways - it's an East Side groove.

| Norman Taylor Across 110th Street Meditations on the Blues Soul Stew Records 2020 I had been meaning to revisit this album, but sadly it sort of got lost in my library among all constant influx of new releases. How about this for a revisioning of Bobby Womack's classic soul side, folks? Very cool, indeed.

| Reverend Cleophus Robinson Fence Around Me L I Shall Know Him Peacock Gospel Classics MCA 1999 There's a guest vocalist on this song, but I haven't been able to find her name on the internet. I know it's on the back of the original album rather than this compilation, so I'm working on it!

| Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado Navigation Blues N Navigation Blues Provogue 2022 This just might be the finest album in Risager catalog to date - it's very good, and dials back the 'heavy' rock sound some in favor of a terrific bluesy roots soul feel. Wonderful new music out of Denmark.

| Scrapomatic He Called My Name Sidewalk Caesars Landslide Records 2008 This is a band that never received the attention it deserved. I'm better many more people would recognize singer Mike Mattison from his years with Tedeschi-Trucks than from his own work with Paul Olsen and Scrapomatic. BTW: Derek Trucks played lead on this song.
