Just Blues is an album by the American blues pianist Memphis Slim which was recorded in 1960 and released on Bluesville, a sublabel of Prestige Records. It was reissued by Fantasy in 1972 as part of the double LP Raining the Blues, along with No Strain, another album from the same sessions.[1]
In his review for AllMusic, Stephen Cook wrote, "One of a handful of stellar albums Slim cut for Prestige's Bluesville label, the 12-track set offers a particularly pleasant way to check out the pianist's tasty keyboard work and wide-ranging topical bent."
All compositions by Peter Chatman except where noted.
