About Lightnin´ Slim
Otis Hicks (March 13, 1913 - July 27, 1974), better known by the stage name Lightnin' Slim, was an American blues artist. Specialising in Louisiana and swamp blues, Lightnin' was born in St. Louis, Missouri and died of stomach cancer in Detroit, Michigan. Lightnin' moved from Missouri to Louisiana at the age of thirteen. Taught guitar by his older brother Layfield, Lightnin' was playing bars in Baton Rouge by the late 1940s. He recorded for Excello Records for 12 years, starting in the mid 1950s. Slim often collaborated with his brother in law, Slim Harpo. In the 1970s Lightnin' performed on tours in Europe, both in England, Baton Rouge and at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. He was mostly accompanied by Moses “Whispering” Smith on harmonica.
