Personnel: Memphis Slim (vocals, piano); Matt "Guitar" Murphy (guitar); John Calvin (alto saxophone); Johnny Board (tenor saxophone); Sam Chatman (bass); Billie Stepney (drums). Recorded in Chicago, Illinois in 1961. Originally released on Strand (SLS 1046) & Muse (5219). Includes liner notes by Tom Pomposello & John Kruth. Digitally remastered by Gene Paul (DB Plus, New York, New York). I'll Just Keep on Singin' the Blues was recorded in 1961 in Chicago just before pianist Memphis Slim was to embark on a European tour and take up permanent residence there. Backed by members of his exciting '50s band the House Rockers (including Matt "Guitar" Murphy), it's a lost masterpiece. Slim and his band are in great form on this set of originals that ooze gutbucket postwar Chicago blues. [This forgotten gem was reissued in 2000 on the budget label 32 Jazz and then again in 2003 by Savoy Jazz.] ~ Al Campbell
