Notes
Studio recording, 1980s era (exact year of 'Cold Hearted Woman' not confirmed, but consistent with Magic Slim's gear in this period). Magic Slim is quoted as preferring a Super Reverb and a Jazzmaster for his signature sound. No evidence of pedal use for clean riff sections; amp reverb likely used.
