Hipbone Slim & The Crown Toppers
The Toppermost Sounds Of​ Hipbone Slim and The Crown Toppers LP (vinyl)

Raw-throated, savage rock 'n' roller Hipbone Slim (aka Sir Bald Diddley) continues down his greasy and poultry proud path on this superb second album with the Crown Toppers, his latest group featuring legendary drummer Bruce Brand and saxophonist Spencer Evoy of MFC Chicken.
Slim sings with a swagger that allows him to move easily between the modes of smooth, growling, boozed-up, and deranged – sometimes within the same song.
There's great variety in songs such as the unhinged Chicken Skin, the wailing Tremblin’ Out My Love, sax-driven instrumental The Hump, and the toe-tapping Sitting in the River, featuring Slim Cyder’s excellent piano.
More fun can be found from the juiced up Scrape the Bottle and the album-opening exotica of Hairy Lula.
