Watermelon Slim
"Caterpillar Whine"
Escape From The Chicken Coop
Northern Blues Records

When the one-of-a-kind blues man, Watermelon Slim, decided that his next record was going to be a country record, I was wondering what kind of record that would be.  Well, the suspense is over.  It is more than a collection of country songs, it is all truck driving songs, called Escape From The Chicken Coop.

These tracks feature slashing slide guitars, and Slim’s vocals - a voice that sounds like a big rig slipping gears.
