5.0 out of 5 stars
Available on CD at last!, September 30, 2005
This review is from: Blue Memphis (Audio CD)
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.
