Ramblin' Big Creek

Ramblin’ Big Creek was recorded live over three days in a studio in the West Side of Aarhus. It involved 11 musicians (including a three-piece horn section), one engineer, one microphone and no overdubs.

Big Creek Slim produced the album, with a couple of specific objectives: (1) to record only original material on the album and (2) for the recording to have one cohesive sound throughout.

Big Creek targeted what he calls a “perfectly unperfect” sound on Ramblin’ Big Creek, one that would capture the raw spontaneity of country blues and early urban blues recordings, as found on such labels as Sun, Chess and Excello.
