BIOGRAPHY
His music carries on in the unvarnished style of the '50s and '60s Windy City blues masters, and he keeps that tradition alive.
Born on August 7, 1937 in Grenada, Mississippi, Morris Holt began in music as a piano player. After losing one of his fingers in a farming accident, he switched to guitar.
In 1955, he moved to Chicago and played bass in his friend Magic Sam's band for a time before returning to Mississippi. It was Sam, the famed West Side bluesman, who dubbed his young pal Magic Slim. While living in Chicago, Slim absorbed the sounds and styles of the city's blues greats. Besides Magic Sam, he was strongly influenced by Muddy Waters, Freddie King and Otis Rush......
