I wish there were more Juicy J acapellas out there. Why the hell is Pitbull on this record? 3-6 Mafia-Shake My (Flinch + Reid Speed Booted Remix) by Reid Speed
Good evening, We are three song writers/performers from Memphis. We have a tour booked in Europe, from Norway to Spain, 40 days, 40 cities. We take a drummer and guitar player and play three sets every night, a sort of Memphis Review. Jack Oblivian has become something of a cult legend in the garage rock circle, he's been touring europe since the 902s. A few years ago Jack started to take local Memphis acts out on the road with him, first Harlan T Bobo, then John Paul Keith. This [...]
We've followed the career of Free Sol for years, so it is no surprise that when Justin Timberlake decided he wanted to get into the record label business he would hand pick this hip-hop, funk and soul genre-fusing musical act from Memphis to showcase to the world. And that's why we'll think it's funny when when everyone thinks these guys are an overnight sensation. But funny in a good way. See Also: The Sound of Memphis: Check out the [...]
In 1961 a low budget Crime Thriller film was released, it starred Johnny Cash and was entitled Five Minutes To Live . The story portrays a character Johnny Cabot, who gets entangled with a mobster as part of a plan involving the wife of a bank vice president being held hostage. The film also stars a young then unknown Ron Howard, Vic Tayback, and Merle Travis. In addition to this, the story revolves around a gang of people that ring the door bell of an unsuspecting household, killing whoever answers. There is one problem for Cash’s character, while he [...]
Tribute records are a tricky things; star-studded tribute projects even more so. It takes a strong unifying voice, some central character beyond the featured composer, to save them from sounding like choppy compilations. Steve Cropper, on today’s 429 Records release Dedicated, is that voice. Co-founder of Booker T and the MGs, and a key sessions player and producer on a
Today's song is "Wildflower Annie" by Memphis Crawl . This song is off the blues-rock band's debut album Falling Down Against The Sun . Formed in the summer of 2004 by songwriter and front man, Matty O’Brien, Memphis Crawl has been regarded as one of the best and most exciting live acts around. O’Brien himself has been described as “one of the most charismatic rock n roll frontmen of all time, with the voice and looks to back it up”. O'Brien took his solo act and added in lead guitarist Bryan Stevens, bassist Mad Freik, drummer Mike Vincenti, [...]

Check out this preview from episode 5 of the Independent Film Channels' Young Broke and Beautiful . It features local musician and artist Alex Warble from the band The Warble. We invited the band to record an Ardent Session a few years ago which really surprised a few people around the studios. Their truly original and undefinable musical style have confused and intrigued the local scene for many years. But the recording became a favorite around the studio and was often quoted and referred to by the engineers - that band, or Alex, is never boring, and they both [...]
Tennessee rap is winning today. First Starlito and Don Trip let Step Brothers loose and now Memphis known-unknown Yo Gotti’s back with the sixth installment of what Dat Piff calls "The longest and best running ... read more
Producer Nattymari just released Murdered In Memphis , a tape pairing Kreayshawn and Alabama trio Sortahuman with music that would fit on a Mystic Stylez 2 if Three 6 Mafia ever decided to revisit their debut. If you're a fan of pitch altered voices, 808s, tape fuzz and echo's in your rap, you'll enjoy this. It sounds a bit like what Spaceghostpurrp has been doing mixed with recreational codeine use and marathon viewings of The First 48 . [ via ] Hit the skip to stream and download. [...]
Toronto - For the record, I have never been the biggest fan of Memphis frontman Torquil Campbell. While I've enjoyed his work with Stars , he's generally been my least favourite part of that band and I will admit that I have thought him to seem a bit pretentious at times. Unfair? Perhaps. So in an effort to put aside any preconceived notions and prejudices, I took it upon myself to check out his other band and see what they were all about. And I must admit, they put on a pretty damn good show. Campbell somehow comes across [...]
A totally refreshing ear-fest from the god-head of the Hammond organ. ★★★★★ One of the original designers of funk-soul-Rhythm & Blues, Booker T. Jones (yep ...as in Booker T and the MGs ) proves to 2011 that he is very much alive and has lost NONE of his gift of musical prowess or creativity. He is still a valid visionary among who there are very, very few. A vibrant soul, hopelessly kind, musically warm, Booker has a thing or three for anyone [...]
Just when I thought the Hi-Tone was about to rename itself “The Manhole,” due to it’s recent testosterone driven bills, I see a poster that peeks my interest on their window: Jessica Lea Mayfield. My favorite venue has completely outdone itself by booking this show. At 22, Mayfield has opened for The Black Keys, Ray LaMontagne, and Jay Farrar. Raised in Ohio in a very musical family, she began her performing career at eight with her family’s bluegrass band, One Way Rider. This year has been pivotal for Mayfield, she released the album “Tell Me” [...]
