"When we thought we had it all, Allen Kirk stepped in to drum for us. Allen immediately added a spark. For many years he played with The Chicago Diamonds, and, later, with The Fabulous Fishheads. Steve Freund brought him to Sunnyland Slim, Bob Stroger, and Sam Burkhardt (The Big Four), when Robert Covington was out of town. Allen credits his drumming style to these superb veterans. During our tour of Quebec and Ontario in July 1993, Bob Stroger and Allen Kirk worked together and refined a musical bond that is the key to our sound. We marvel at the rich simplicity of Allen and Bob's work." |

"Drums are a joy for Allen Kirk. He has performed for 25 years in nearly every style played regularly in the U.S. Beneath his clowning and bad boy manner, Kirk has depth, caring and loyalty. He is the trusted traveler; he knows where he is and where he's going, and moves forward with confidence." |

"Whoever the house band in blues heaven may be, even money says they're wearing out Magic Slim albums trying to get that Teardrops sound down cold. Slim fronts the most consistently excellent outfit around." - Blues Revue |

"The mostly original selections on Snakebite comprise some of the most exciting, hardest-driving music Slim and the Teardrops have ever recorded." "Magic Slim consistently offers no-frills houserockin' blues. He and his band are a national treasure." - Living Blues |

"Magic Slim stands as the greatest living proponent of the intense, electrified, Mississippi to Chicago blues style that spawned so much of the music played by modern blues artists and rockers." |
