With the recent passing of Lynwood Slim, this release will be his legacy. This album could have been called "World Wide Wood 2" based on its contents (songs that Slim recorded all over the globe with various bands), however, Slim was very clear that he wanted this to be called "Hard to Kill". This CD is a must have for all Lynwood Slim fans and people that have never heard of him, but just want a great blues album.
