Various - Memphis Blues Caravan Vol I
Review by Stephanie T
Memphis Blues Caravan Vol I is a fantastic album that features some of the best blues musicians from Memphis. The album is a collection of tracks that highlight the diversity and richness of the Memphis blues scene. From the soulful vocals of Ruby Wilson to the electrifying guitar work of Preston Shannon, this album is a must-listen for any blues enthusiast.
The album opens with the track "I'm a Woman" by Ruby Wilson, a powerful blues number that showcases her incredible range and vocal prowess. The album then moves on to tracks by other artists such as Preston Shannon, who delivers a blistering performance on "Midnight in Memphis."
The overall production of the album is excellent, with each track being expertly mixed and mastered. The instrumentation is top-notch, with each musician delivering a standout performance. The album also features some great guest appearances, including the legendary B.B. King.
