First-rate collection of obscure Memphis blues artists who were recorded only on a limited basis. There are lots of female singers: Hattie Hart is the best, but all of them are listenable with the exception of Madelyn James, whose two vocal performances might have been more engaging had she not attempted to eat the microphone.

Vol. 2 of his Complete Recorded Works focuses upon sessions he led between June 1927 and August 1936. The "Boar Hog Blues" and a pleasantly scruffy treatment of Fats Waller's "Squeeze Me," which feature the cornet of Willie Hightower, were released on Black Patti records with the band billed as Hightower's Nighthawks. Almost everything else on this disc originally came out on the Victor, Gennett, Paramount, and Decca labels under the banner of Richard M. Jones & His Jazz Wizards.

The city of Memphis, and the Beale Street neighborhood in particular, developed an almost mythical status as a musical mecca. In a time when recorded music was rare, Beale Street served as a kind of marketplace for music and musicians, where performers of various styles and techniques could go to inspire, and be inspired. Influenced by the fiercely emotive styles of early Memphis blues, which typically involved stories of heartache sung by solitary, working class men, Lewis began performing at house parties, fish fries, dances, and other gatherings, becoming popular with both black and white audiences. As his popularity as a local performer grew, Lewis began to travel around the South, often with itinerant "medicine shows" that included him in vaudeville acts. In 1927, Furry Lewis traveled to Chicago and recorded twelve songs for the Vocalion label between May and October.

Talk about Various - Memphis Blues: Complete Recorded Works In Chronological Order, Vol. 2 (1927-1938)


post_name
First-rate collection of obscure Memphis blues artists who were recorded only on a limited basis. There are lots of female singers: Hattie Hart is the best, but all of them are listenable with the exception of Madelyn James, whose two vocal performances might have been more engaging had she not attempted to eat the microphone. (Seriously, don't listen to tracks 7 and 8 through headphones. It's painful.) You also get Walter Rhodes, who accompanies himself on accordion (the only use of that particular instrument in the songster/blues tradition outside the oeuvre of Lead Belly, to my knowledge; Rhodes's 'Crowing Rooster' was the basis for Charley Patton's later 'Banty Rooster Blues'), and pianist Charlie Nickerson, who--in an amusing, oddly mannered voice--expresses some very definite opinions on life and love in 'What's the Matter Now?' and 'Bozo's Blues'. Best of all is the genuinely cryptic guitarist/vocalist George Torey, who recorded two brilliant sides of deep, dark country blues and promptly disappeared. (Peter Cooney's liner notes call Torey a "biographical blank", and I've read at WeenieCampbell.com that none of the Memphis musicians who would have been Torey's peers in the 1930s remembered him. According to a moderator at that website, the only basis for classifying George Torey as a Memphis bluesman is the stylistic similarity of his 'Married Woman Blues' to 'Dry Land Blues' by Furry Lewis. Trouble is, both the chord progression and vocal phrasing predate Lewis--and their earliest appearance on record, Papa Charlie Jackson's 1925 'Coffee Pot Blues', had no known connection to Memphis. At any rate, you'll be deliriously happy to own Torey's recordings if you're a fan of the genuine article: blues don't come any better.)This is rough music, and it bears no resemblance to the limp horsetwaddle they play for tourists on Beale Street today. It is the authentic sound of its time and place...and, if you can dig that, you'll find "Memphis Blues, Vol. 2" utterly engrossing.
