Oklahoma blues singer, harp player, and slide guitarist Bill Homans is known to the paying public as Watermelon Slim. He plays a chunky update of traditional blues, performing both self-penned originals like "Hard Times" and well-chosen covers like Mississippi Fred McDowell`s train song, "Frisco Line." Slim`s voice carries the authentic stamp of a hard-lived life, and he`s ably supported by an empathetic stripped-down acoustic and electric combo.
