CD Reviews

Essential rockin' blues guitarist, and singer!

rockabilly-greaser1956 | The land of 56 Chevy Bel Airs | 05/10/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"You have to wonder of there would ever have been a Wanda Jackson, if there hadn't been a Mamphis minnie. Memephis Minnie was the 1st female guitarist to play with a fierce and technically swinging and rocking style, with a pure blues attiti=ute and jazz feeling. Memphis minnie also sinsg with a growl, a "don't mess with Minnie" sound, and she plays like she means BUSINESS!!! Nobody other then Robert Johnson could play on an artistic and rockin' level as Minnie does on these classic 1930's sessions. the songs range from rockin' blues(30 years before the term ever exhisted), to straight blues, and dirty songs! Minnie has fun and sounds like she enjosy playing this fun yet serious music. Minnie always sounds ready to party and the comination of her wailing voice and the syncopated rockin' guitar is so APPEALING! One might even dare to call this the beginning of rock'n'roll!!! So I'm sure that Wanda Jackson the 1st female rock'n'roll star singer/guitarist probably has heard of memphis Minnie the 1st female blues star singer/guitarist, and it would be easy to say that Minnie might have influenced Wanda and many other male and female rockabilly performers. Get this cd, even if your not a "blues" fan, because Minnie was 30 years ahaed of her time and the woman really ROCKS, and I mean hard. I'm a rockabilly fan, strictly speaking, but I love anything by Memphsi minnie, the woman's got soul and her music still communicates to todays audiences. So DONT skip thsi one!"
