Slippin In is Eddie Tigner's second release on the Music Makers label, and shows once again what a valuable service the folks who run that label are doing for American music.
Eddie is one of the best Barrelhouse style players I've heard. It's not just that he's a hot keyboard player, because I'm sure there are hotter ones, or that he's got the greatest voice in the world, it's the way he uses his talents that make him so good. He doesn't just play the piano, he teases and coaxes notes from it, so that it sings in that way that's specific to honky-tonks and old juke joints.
Listen to him playing "Please Send Me Someone To Love" on Slippin In and you'll hear what I'm talking about.
Eddie Tigner is a great all around Blues piano player who can handle everything from a straight ahead Blues number like "Need Your Love So Bad", to the rollicking swing of "Knock Me A Kiss". He can sing it slow and sweet, or fast and loose and sound equally comfortable and always sound like he means every word that he sings. There aren't many people left who can do justice to Barrelhouse Blues/honky-tonk music anymore, but Eddie Tigner's Slippin In is proof that there are still some who have what it takes to make your spine get loose and remind you that you have hips.

A spectacular selection of blues veterans at their exhilarating best at various venues across the 'Old Continent'. Dr. Burt, Eddie Tigner, Alabama Slim, Pat "Mother Blues" Cohen and Albert White, joined by Pura Fe' for the occasion, perform their own brand of Southern blues, getting warm responses from rapt audiences everywhere. These "Lost and Last Blues Survivors" show no sign of wanting to retire!

What Can An Old Man Do But Sing The Blues sings Dr. Burt, with a fragile voice.
How old do you have to be to deep blues? Sure, I have seen enough young bands and musicians who played with so much passion, fire and life as if they were already on the road are at least 40 years ´ ´. But still: in one way or another, I find it a wonderful sight to see where the blues musicians life has signed off on their face in deep grooves. On Music Maker Revue Live! In Europe, these ' old ' masters of the blues brought together.

There is something for nearly everyone here. It starts off with probably the youngest artist on the MM label (the exception being the Carolina Chocolate Drops, who started on MM and are now on Nonesuch) - Pura Fe. This Native American (who is a founding member of the group Utali) sings the Blues as well as self-composed songs from the Native American perspective. On this CD she matches one of her own compositions with Gershwin's "Summertime". The older generation is represented by Dr. Burt, Albert White and Alabama Slim (who sings "Old Folks Boogie" along with Muddy Water' "Trouble No More". And then there is (Ms.) Pat Cohen who almost out-Kokos Koko Taylor with three hot female blues numbers. Everyone comes together for a lively "The Blues is Alright" to close out the hour-plus of great music.

At 90 years-old, most folks are heading for bed after the early bird special at their favorite family restaurant. Not Eddie Tigner. He would rather do what he’s been doing most of his life, playing piano in a blues club until closing time.

There isn’t much about Atlanta-based blues pianist/singer Tigner that screams living legend. He was never viewed among the well-known players, has only a few recent albums as frontman, and beyond Atlanta’s city limits, only the most dedicated blues aficionados recognize his name. Locally, he’s best known in circles that frequent his regular club circuit: Blind Willies, Fat Matt's Rib Shack, and Northside Tavern.

Despite his relative obscurity, Macon-born Tigner is one of the last old-school musicians left in this town. He’s been an accomplished blues pianist since the 1940’s, which also makes him one of the oldest working blues musicians currently playing Atlanta. ~Hal Horowitz
