He debuted on J. D. "Jay" Miller's Feature Records label in 1954 with "Bad Luck Blues" and then recorded for Excello Records for twelve years, starting in the mid 1950s, often collaborating with his brother-in-law, Slim Harpo and with harmonica player Lazy Lester. Thi9s 1960 Lp features Slim on 12 cuts, including “Rooster Blues”, “Long Leanie Mama”, “My Starter Won’t Work”, “GI Slim”, “Lightnin’s Troubles”, “Bed Bug Blues”, “Hoo Doo Blues”, “It’s Mighty Crazy”, “Sweet Little Woman”, “Tom Cat Blues”, “Feelin Awful Blues”, and “I’m Leavin’ You Baby.” Guaranteed original.
