The album's title was created by blending his two childhood nicknames. Sonny Boy was the nickname his mother gave him, Slim was given to him on the Austin Texas blues scene and referred to his tall and thin physical build.

It reached number one on the Billboard Top Blues Albums chart in October that year.[1]
