Description
Sings Raining In My Heart is the essential 1961 debut album from Louisiana blues legend Slim Harpo, released on the iconic Excello label under catalog number LP 8003. This record is a cornerstone of the swamp blues genre, defined by Harpos laid back vocal style and rhythmic harmonica work. The album features several of his most influential tracks, including the title hit Raining In My Heart and the enduring classic Im a King Bee, which later became a staple for the Rolling Stones. Recorded in Crowley, Louisiana, under producer JD Miller, the albums unique, echoey atmosphere captured a sound that would deeply influence the British Blues Invasion. This original press is a high priority for blues collectors, representing one of the most successful and stylish releases from the Excello catalog. Despite minor surface markings and occasional playback noise, the record retains its powerful, gritty Southern charm and historical significance.
