4. Memphis Slim, Blue Memphis, Warner Bros, scratchfree vinyl, Good Plus sleeve, tip wear, corner clip up left corner, Recorded June, 1970.
Memphis Slim (September 3, 1915 – February 24, 1988) was an American blues pianist, singer, and composer. He led a series of bands that, reflecting the popular appeal of jump blues, included saxophones, bass, drums, and piano. A song he first cut in 1947, "Every Day I Have the Blues", has become a blues standard, recorded by many other artists. He made over 500 recordings.
He was posthumously inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1989 Wikipedia I've been waiting for two decades to get this album on CD to replace an old cassette tape copy of my long-gone LP. At long last, it's available, so snap it up while you can. Side 1 of the old LP contained the marvelously autobiographical & evocative "Blue Memphis Suite" that seemlessly alternated boogie'n & bluesin' songs. Side 2 had a more traditional album structure with songs topical to the early 1970's ("Youth Wants to Know" & "Chicago Seven") plus the rollicking "Boogie Woogie 1-9-7-0" & the wistful closer "Mason-Dixon Line." But make no mistake, you get this for the "Blue Memphis Suite" spanning the first half of the CD. An essential blues recording. Online Review
