Blues Across America - Nashville Scene
wpe5.jpg (75505 bytes)Nashville has been known as "Music City USA" for some time, but long before the country music industry became established there in the mid-1950s, a rhythm and blues industry flourished. While the scene went through some recording changes during the late ‘70s, it was the blues boom of the ‘90s that brought many of the bigger names back. Voices from the shadows soon followed, along with some young blood, until a full-blown revival was happening. The Nashville blues scene is back and this featured slice includes four great artists of the ‘50s and ‘60s who are still recording today – and still got somethin’ to say.

 

    HIGHLIGHTS:

 

  • Cannonball’s fourth release in the much heralded series of undiscovered regional blues gems; showcasing "true blues" for eclectic audiophiles everywhere.
  • Al Garner has recorded with Champion and Excello Records with many of Nashville’s greats such as Gene Allison, Roscoe Shelton and Larry Birdsong to name a few.
  • Johnny Jones has recorded several singles with legendary producers William Bell and Ross Allen for Athens, Brunswick, Hermitage, Peach Tree and Hollywood Records.
  • Charles "Wigg" Walker has recorded for Decca and Chess Records and continues to work on the fringes of the music business. A true journeyman.
  • Clifford Curry had a big hit in 1967 with "She Shot A Hole In My Soul." He worked the beach and chitlin circuits through the ‘70s and ‘80s and has never been long without a recording contract.
