We talk to Slim Jim Phantom – Legendary Drummer for The Stray Cats and The Slim Jim Phantom Trio. We learn all about Jim’s first trip to the UK which saw his band make their name overseas and ultimately break The Stray Cats on a world wide scale. We hear all about his experiences opening and running the notorious Cat Club on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip which saw some of the world’s most famous rock musicians take to its small but hallowed stage and we also get to chat about the new album from The Barnestormers. Following on from supergroups such as The Head Cat and Dead Men Walking, Jim continues to work with rock royalty like himself and has assembled a new line-up featuring Jools Holland, Chris Cheney, Jimmy Barnes and producer Kevin Shirley. Jim continues to be a force in the music world proving that nice guys don’t always finish last.
