2000 CD Catfish Records KATCD158



The material on this album is drawn from the whole spectrum of the Memphis Minnie catalogue, including collaborations with her three husbands; Joe McCoy, Casey Bill Weldon and Son Lawler. For anyone doubting the reputation of Minnie as a down-home blues force she beat Big Bill Broonzy in a 1933 Chicago Blues Contest.

Catfish Records



"She can make a guitar cry.. moan.. talk the blues"

Big Bill Broonzy said that Memphis Minnie played guitar as well as any man he'd ever heard. This CD features some instrumentals as well as some accompanied songs. Some - maybe the best ones - are duets with Minnie's (one time) husband Kansas Joe. In these the guitar playing is quite delightful, one guitar playing rhythm, the other filling some great licks and riffs. Historically Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe were important as pioneers of the new National (steel-bodied) guitar. As usual, Catfish have packaged this album nicely and got their usual good sound quality.
