Slim Chance and the Can’t Hardly Playboys AND Dave Zollo & the Body Electric

About:  

Slim Chance has been writing hit songs since before hit songs were even a thing. He’s written solid country gold hits since before the Carter Family and he has gotten no recognition, and more importantly, NO MONEY for his significant contributions to country music. Slim has rustled together his all-star band, The Can’t Hardly Playboys, to tour this country one more time to finally get the credit he so richly deserves, and maybe make a little scratch while he’s at it. Come on out to see the legend himself performing songs that were stolen from him by Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, George Jones, Jerry Reed and many more folks who lived their lives fat and happy off of his talent.
