We are proud to announce that Sunnyland Slim – Rockin’ The House, released by Wolf Records International, has been featured and reviewed in the Finnish magazine Blues News. The review was written by respected blues journalist Pete Hoppula, who highlighted the importance and historical value of this reissue.
Sunnyland Slim (1906–1995), one of the most influential blues pianists of all time, is celebrated on this release, which includes 19 tracks recorded during his 1975 European tour. According to the review, the album showcases Slim in top form, performing both solo and with minimal accompaniment. The material includes several of his signature pieces, such as It’s Got a Thing Goin’ On, Devil Is a Busy Man, and Everytime I Get to Drinkin’.
The review notes that while the CD booklet is minimalistic, the music itself is the highlight—displaying Sunnyland Slim’s powerful vocal delivery and distinctive piano playing. These recordings capture the raw, live essence of blues in intimate settings, bringing timeless energy and authenticity to today’s listeners.
The reviewer acknowledges that this reissue stands out by making rare archival material available, and praises Wolf Records for its continued dedication to authentic blues documentation.
We are honored by the recognition and remain committed to preserving and promoting real blues from the masters themselves.
