Milton Frazier (born March 29, 1939), known professionally as Alabama Slim is an American blues singer, guitarist, and songwriter.
[1] Playing on-and-off since the 1950s, Alabama Slim has been involved in the recording of four albums since 2007, having had assistance both from Little Freddie King and the Music Maker Relief Foundation.
His parents owned a Victrola phonograph and a small number of 78rpm records, including work by Big Bill Broonzy and Lightnin' Hopkins.
[3] In 2005, when Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans and its environs, Slim assisted King in their joint evacuation and relocation to a shared apartment in Dallas, Texas.
In December 2006, Slim and King traveled to Music Maker's headquarters in Hillsborough, North Carolina, and recorded The Mighty Flood, which was released the following year.
[2] That initial recording was then enhanced by work by former Squirrel Nut Zippers' front man Jimbo Mathus playing keyboards and Matt Patton of Drive-By Truckers on bass guitar.
