Our Take

Ah, Memphis Minnie, the OG queen of country blues, serving us those raw, unapologetic lyrics since 1929. This compilation album, spanning from her early recordings to her later hits in 1953, is a rollercoaster of emotions that will have you reaching for the nearest bottle of whiskey. From the moment Minnie's gravelly voice hits your eardrums on "Bumble Bee" to the haunting echoes of "In My Girlish Days", you can't help but be mesmerised by her storytelling prowess. Her biting wit and sass shine through in every track, making you feel like you're gossiping over a cup of moonshine with a close friend. But it's not all doom and gloom with Memphis Minnie. Tracks like "Kissing In The Dark" and "Jockey Man Blues" will have you tapping your feet and swaying along to the infectious rhythm. It's impossible not to feel a spark of joy listening to her playful melodies and cheeky lyrics. Overall, Memphis Minnie's legacy as the first lady of country blues is solidified in this album. Her influence on the music industry is undeniable, and this compilation is a testament to her timeless talent. So pour yourself a glass of something strong, sit back, and let Memphis Minnie serenade you with her captivating tunes. You won't regret it.
