In a single burst of lightning that comes from the ground, Slim finds himself in Texas. It's a little bit magic, and a whole lot different, but the blues is the same. The blues manifest here as a Strat called the Gutbucket, and it's fallen into the hands of T-Bone Pickens, who wants to suck up all of its powers and turn it to evil.

Slim's off on the Gutbucket Quest, with the help of his mentor Progress T. Hornsby, and an unstoppable blues singer named Nadine.
