Bumble Bee Slim, [Amos Easton (May 7, 1905– June 8, 1968)], Easton was born in Brunswick, Georgia, United States. Around 1920 he joined the Ringling Brothers circus before returning to Georgia, marrying briefly, and then heading north on a freight train to Indianapolis where he settled in 1928. There, he met and was influenced by pianist Leroy Carr and guitarist Scrapper Blackwell.

By 1931 he had moved to Chicago, where he first recorded as Bumble Bee Slim for Paramount Records. The following year his song, "B&O Blues", was a hit for Vocalion Records, inspiring a number of other railroad blues and eventually becoming a popular folk song. Over the next five years he recorded over 150 songs for the Decca, Bluebird and Vocalion labels, often accompanied by other musicians such as Big Bill Broonzy, Peetie Wheatstraw, Tampa Red, Memphis Minnie, and Washboard Sam.

In 1937, he returned to Georgia, then relocated to Los Angeles, California, in the early 1940s; he apparently hoped to break into motion pictures as a songwriter and comedian.




Bluesman Bumble Bee Slim isn't one of the better known artists in the Piedmont blues style, but he was a reasonably popular singer and guitarist during much of the 1930s, recording for labels like Bluebird, Vocalion, and Decca Records, among others. He brought the Piedmont style to Chicago in the early 1930s, recording with and influencing artists as diverse as Big Bill Broonzy, Memphis Minnie, and Tampa Red. Slim ended up in Los Angeles in the 1940s, trying to break into the movies while still recording his own hybrid style of blues. Originally released in 1962, Back In Town! was the last record Slim did before dying in 1968, an underrated slab of early West Coast styled blues. Recorded for the Pacific Jazz label and featuring guests like the great jazz guitarist Joe Pass, pianist Les McCann, bassist Leroy Vinnegar (The Crusaders), and drummer Ron Jefferson,
