Memphis Blues

LINK

The Fieldstones are something of a local legend in Memphis, and this, album, was a very long time coming. Its content was recorded at various times and in various places between 1981 and 1982. Their sound was characterized by a two-guitar front line and a raw, chunky groove not too far removed from the sort of Mississippi juke joint blues. Memphis Blues Today! is truly an unknown gem, and belongs in any serious blues fan's collection. 

Willie Roy Sanders, blues singer and guitarist, born September 15, 1933. Died February 16, 2010.
