Synopsis

Album Description

When Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame inductee Jim McCarty was asked to come to Memphis for a spontaneous recording session with some Memphis bluesmen, he enthusiastically accepted the invitation. Nearly 30 years earlier, he and his bandmates, the YARDBIRDS, had come to Memphis to record at Sun Studio. Now, with former CANNED HEAT bassist Richard Hite at the helm as producer, the session for 'Weekend in Memphis' went very well-over an hour's worth of material was recorded in less than 3 days- the climate of the session was open and creative while elements of blues, rock,and jazz exploded into the air and were captured on tape. The best of these tracks were selected for 'Weekend in Memphis.' From the catchy sing-along track "Memphis Town" to Danny Lancaster's haunting and emotional rendition of the blues classic "So Many Roads, So Many Trains," 'Weekend in Memphis' encompasses a broad spectrum of blues that is comvincing and must have for any serious fan of blues or rock.

CD Reviews

McCarty -Hite- a great team

Russell Garrett | N.Y.C. | 01/22/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"WOW! What a rhythm section. McCarty from The Yardbirds and Hite from Canned Heat. A great album for lovers of the blues. If you like this one check out The Jim McCarty Blues Band's 'Outside Woman Blues'.... McCarty is a great unsung bluesman. Hopefully this album and the one I just mentioned will remedy that."
