Slim & the Teardrops played regularly in Chicago’s blues clubs through the ‘60s and ‘70s, releasing singles (including “Scufflin’”), before cutting the full-length BORN UNDER A BAD SIGN in 1977. Subsequent releases include DOIN’ FINE (1980), GRAVEL ROAD (1990), and the live disc ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN (2005). The band has won numerous W.C. Handy awards for “Blues Band of the Year.”
