Well, I had a very bad life, but it took a bad life to make it a good life for me. And I mean by that that I played my dues very early, and now I think I am reaping the benefit.\"\u003cbr\u003eThe Memphis Music hall of fame and the Blues Foundation hall of fame both have Memphis Slim among their inducted members.\u003cbr\u003eThe Rock 'n' Roll hall does not however, but maybe when they hear these 29 rocking tracks they will find a place for the man who always rocked the house wherever he played.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eRocking the Pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eHarlem Bound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eOld Taylor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eRockin' the House\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eKilroy Has Been Here\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eNo Mail Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eMemphis Slim USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eBeer Drinking Woman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003ePacemaker Boogie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eWish Me Well\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eBig Bertha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eNobody Loves Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eBack Alley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eIf You Live That Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eMidnight Jump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eTrouble Trouble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eSlim's Boogie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eThe Girl I Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eWhat's the Matter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eLonesome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eTia Juana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eShe's Allright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eWalkin' the Boogie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eGotta Find My Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eSassy Mae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eLove My Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eI'm Lost Without You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eLet the Good Times Roll Creole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eRockin' the House\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Memphis Slim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54209425867081,"sku":"BCD17687","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/3427\/9753\/files\/memphis_slim_rocks_cd.jpg?v=1776344690","url":"https:\/\/www.raucousrecords.com\/products\/memphis-slim-rocks-cd-4000127176875-bcd17687","provider":"Raucous Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
