Magic Slim & the Teardrops are considered by many to be "the last real Chicago blues band." Slim has stayed true to his roots with his intense style of electrified Mississippi blues and now stands as one of the last living proponents of the genre. Black Tornado packs a walloping punch of ferocious guitar work, sandpaper rough vocals, and enough blues power to burn a fire extinguisher factory to the ground.
