Product Details

Lil' Ed Williams learned his craft from his uncle, the legendary Chicago slide guitarist J.B. Hutto, and that raw, house-party DNA has never left his playing. Decades into a career that has made him one of Alligator Records' most beloved lifers, he remains one of the few artists keeping true Chicago electric slide in its most unvarnished form.

Slideways is bursting with Lil' Ed's rollicking slide-work and rough-hewn vocals on a joyous blend of smoking slide guitar boogies, raw-boned shuffles, and heart-stopping slow blues. Mixing smoking slide guitar boogies and raw-boned shuffles with the deepest soul-burners and heart-wrenching slow blues, Lil' Ed Williams and The Blues Imperials bring it all back home, playing each track with an impassioned sense of wild abandon. "Electrifying, raucous, pure Chicago blues... Lil' Ed is a guitarist extraordinaire... slashing slide and flamboyant stage persona." - Chicago Tribune
