Blisterstring is the joining of forces of two veteran West Coast blues musicians: drummer-producer/promoter and Fedora Records founder Chris Millar, and Parisian-born singer-guitarist-songwriter Frank Goldwasser, aka Paris Slim. Between the two of them, Millar and Goldwasser have recorded and performed with an impressive cast of some of the most illustrious blues artists of the contemporary era, including Percy Mayfield, Lowell Fulson, Big Mama Thornton, Jimmy McCracklin and many, many more. Recorded in seven hours on a ridiculously small budget, "The Highway Is A Woman" was originally intended as a demo for the trio. It has received rave reviews from the specialized press in the U.S. and abroad. It features Goldwasser on guitar, harmonica and vocals, Millar on drums and Kevin Hill on electric bass and tuba. -- Amazon.
Frank Goldwasser has been playing music professionally since the early 1980s and is the most talented blues guitarist of his generation. In Oakland Troyce Key gives him the nick Paris Slim and the young guitarist is backing up a who's who of West Coast legends as Jimmy McCracklin, Pee Wee Crayton, Lowell Fulson and others. Jimmy McCracklin is so impressed and for some years Paris Slim toured with McCracklin. In the mid 1980s he's playing the guitar in Charlie Musselwhite's tour band and with Mitch Woods and the Rocket 88's. Paris Slim’s first album, "Blues For Esther" (on the Belgian label Blue Sting) receives a nomination for the prestigious WC. Handy Awards. A second album, "Bleedin' Heart", is released in 1996 and produced by Joe Louis Walker and featuring a guest appearance by Sonny Rhodes. In 1998, Goldwasser moves to the Los Angeles area where he joins forces with Fedora Records producer-drummer Chris Millar and he contributes to numerous Fedora releases. LA record producer & Delta Groove label owner Randy Chortkoff is the next one to hire Goldwasser to back up Finis Tasb and Billy Boy Arnold. Chortkoff is impressed by his fantastic guitar playing and he offers to record an album (Blu Ju)(Kirk Fletcher and Alex Schultz are joining on guitar). Goldwasser is also a regularly featured guitarist in the rotating cast of The Mannish Boys.
Impressive guitar work from Frank Goldwasser aka Paris Slim.
