Mississippi MacDonald - Slim Pickin' (2025) [Official Digital Download]

Winner of two Acoustic Artist of the Year UK Blues Awards, Oli Mac now brings us a second helping of his alter ego’s acoustic oeuvre following 2024’s Call Me Mississippi lo-key release.
Slim Pickin’ is a significant progression. Reflecting the experience gained since the last album, on tour and in writing, the new acoustic album adds more instrumentation and production to deliver a wholly more comprehensive sound.

Mac is ably assisted as ever by his right hand band mate Phil Dearing, in the Producers chair and also on second guitar and keyboards. The duo are joined by Brent Cundall on Bass. Of Nashville origin Cundall is a very experienced session musician on whose CV is printed ‘bassist and percussionist at Dollywood’ – not many have that! Mac himself weighs in with more of his tasty guitar pickin’ and licks, plus piano, and that extraordinarily soulful and gospel tinged vocal.
Songs include excellent re-workings of live staples Trouble Doin’ the Right Thing, Strange Things Happening Every Day, and Bad Attitude – a recently Oli Mac penned song born of his times in Memphis over the last year. The album title track is also a new Mac song and it’s more than the title suggests i.e. a full acoustic band sound, and a song about a tired relationship.
