Description

Memphis, Tennessee, is a big cross-roads for blues musicians, songs, and styles. Memphis is where the blues first “came to the town” and turned into a cosmopolitan performance genre, and the town has long been a center of synthesis and evolution in blues recording. This volume tells the tale of blues in Memphis through prior to now unpublished interviews with nine performers who helped create and sustain the music from the times before its commercial success throughout the early 1970s. Their attitudes, experiences, and insights affect a deeper working out of blues aesthetic and philosophy.
