"Fillmore Sims, Charles Sims, Ron Silva, Tailbone Slim, Clarence Guitar Sims and now Fillmore Slim, like many of the itinerant blues singers of the past, Fillmore Slim has often changed his name to suit his circumstances. An evasive character who is often difficult to pin down, Slim's life mirrors that of the archetypal bluesman, a wandering musician who has periodically surfaced to enhance the West Coast blues scene, but whose fortunes have fluctuated mixing missed opportunities with the inevitable spell in a Federal Penitentiary".
