Biografia do Artista para Slim And The Soulful Saints

Fish” Fendley Grew Up In Red Level Alabama “Slim” Barnes Grew Up Less Than Thirty Miles Away In Brantley. The Two Shared A Musical Upbringing Steeped In The Blues And Country And Settled Into Their Instruments – Saxophone And Guitar Respectively – By Their Early Teens. The Two First Met In Their Late Teens When “Slim” Came To Play In Red Level With A Seasoned Musician Named Willie Charles “Henry” Perry. An Unfortunate Incident – Perry Got Hitched – Lead To A Change In The Band’s Personnel And “Fish” Took Over The Reigns. Larry Fendley And The Swinging Combo Boasted “Marcus Daniels And Stanford Barnes And The Wild Wild Guitars.” The Two Eventually Parted Company But Regrouped Again In January 1970 – This Time In Montgomery As Slim And The Soulful Saints. “Slim ” By This Time Smitten By The Recording-Bug Borrowed Money From A Local Banker And Hired Musicians To Travel With Him To Fame Studios To Demo Two Songs. “Fish Head ” An Obvious Nod To Fendley’s Writing Of The Song Owes Much To The Off-Kilter Syncopation Of The Band’s Only White Member Drummer “Champ” Remell. “I Didn’t Even Know What Syncopation Was Back Then ” Fendley Now Laughs. Slim And The Soulful Saints Didn’t Worry Themselves With Definition – And Created One Of Deep Funk’s Finest Moments As A Result.
