Review by Breezy Baldwin

Slim Harpo's album "Jody Man Rainin In My Heart" is a must-listen for any blues enthusiast. The Louisiana-born bluesman showcases his unique blend of blues, R&B, and swamp pop in this 1961 release.

The album features some of Harpo's most iconic tracks, including "Rainin' In My Heart," "Got Love If You Want It," and "I'm A King Bee." Harpo's distinctive harmonica playing and soulful vocals are on full display throughout the album, transporting listeners to the heart of the blues.

One standout track is "Shake Your Hips," which would later be covered by the Rolling Stones on their 1972 album "Exile on Main St." Harpo's original version is a raw and infectious tune that showcases his talent for crafting catchy and danceable blues tracks.
