Our Take

Album Review: JEAN-JACQUES MILTEAU "Memphis"

When it comes to harmonica virtuosos, Jean-Jacques Milteau is in a league of his own. With his latest offering, "Memphis," the French musician takes listeners on a soulful journey through the heart of the blues capital.

From the opening track, "Blues for The Delta," Milteau's mastery of the harmonica is on full display. His expressive playing evokes the rich history of the Mississippi Delta, with each note carrying the weight of generations of blues legends.

But "Memphis" is more than just a showcase for Milteau's skills on the harmonica. The album features a stellar lineup of musicians, including vocalist Lisa Doby and guitarist Manu Galvin, who bring their own unique flair to the mix.

Tracks like "Soul Survivor" and "Midnight in Memphis" showcase Milteau's ability to blend traditional blues with elements of soul and funk, creating a sound that is both timeless and fresh.

While some purists may balk at the idea of a French harmonica player tackling the blues, Milteau proves that great music knows no boundaries. "Memphis" is a testament to the universal power of the blues, and a must-listen for any fan of the genre.

In a world filled with cookie-cutter blues albums, Jean-Jacques Milteau stands out as a true original. "Memphis" is a triumph of musicality and emotion, and further solidifies Milteau's reputation as one of the finest harmonica players of his generation.
