All Memphis Music ~ Jared Booty ~The Memphis Sound ~ Presented by The Memphis Convention & Visitors Bureau


This weekend All Memphis Music is pleased to present a specialty show highlighting , Jared Booty and his new CD.

Jared Booty, multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, and
producer, plays guitar, bass guitar, saxophone, flute and
drums. He taught himself to play left-handed on a friends axe
when he was just a kid growing up inMemphis, Tennessee.
This was the best thing that could have happened to musician
Jared Booty. As a small boy he lived around the corner
from Sun Records where Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny
Cash, Carl Perkins, and Roscoe Gordon made their mark. His
grandparents owned a soul food cafe on world famous Beale
Street where Jared remembers hearing the music of Howlin’
Wolf and B.B. King booming from the cafe jukebox and late in
the evening at home, rockin’ with the soulful sounds of disc jockey
Dewey Phillips as he conducted his “rockin’ soul” radio
show Red Hot & Blue.

From the early strains of Furry Lewis to
the later grooves of Bobby ”Blue” Bland, music seemed to be at
every turn in his young life.
Later Jared’s experience as a sideman with the likes of
rhythm and blues legend Rufus Thomas, soul man Al Green,
rockers Dacy’s Midnight Runners, Bob Dylan, Terrence Trent
Darby, The Fugees and others just added fuel to the fire. Now
that his CD, “Blue and Red Hot” is soon to be released it’s clear
that the musical scope of Jared Booty will reach far and wide.

The special will feature an in-depth discussion with Jared and All Memphis Music co-founder, David Fleischman.

The Specialty Show will air this Friday night October 22th at 10:00 pm (CST Memphis Time) and will repeat on Saturday morning October 23rd at 10:00 am (CST Memphis Time) Tell a friend!

Cyndi Lauper ~ All Memphis Music ~ "Twitter Cast" ~ Memphis Convention & Visitors Bureau ~ Memphis Blues"



                                             Cyndi Lauper-'Memphis Blues' new CD
                                        "Twitter Cast"—ALLMEMPHISMUSIC.com

Tonight, Thursday at 7PM EST, All Memphis Music is excited to present a special “Twitter Cast” featuring Cyndi Lauper as she Tweets comments about her Top Ten favorite Memphis songs while they play live, on All Memphis Music. Her new album, Memphis Blues, recorded in the River City’s own Electrophonic Studios, pays tribute to the blues and its rich history. She’s chosen a powerful ensemble cast to assist her, including Charlie Musselwhite, BB King, Ann Peebles, Allen Toussaint and Johnny Lang. The exclusive broadcast is one of many innovations AllMemphisMusic has popularized since its 2006 arrival.
Cyndi Lauper, no stranger to even the most casual pop music fan, burst on the scene with her stunning Portrait Records 1984 debut, She’s So Unusual, which featured “Girls Just Want To Have Fun.” The album quickly sold over four and a half million records and launched a career which continues to showcase Cyndi’s versatility and eclectic tastes.

The Cyndi Lauper/AllMemphisMusic “Twitter-cast” figures to be an insightful discourse through the eyes and ears of a true pop icon about the music that’s meant so much to Memphis’ musical heritage as well as the culture of pop music in the 20th and 21st centuries. Since the release of Memphis Blues, Cyndi has again become one of the most sought after personalities in music. She’s appeared on “American Idol,” played a psychic on the wildly popular Fox TV series, “Bones,” and made an impressive showing on “Celebrity Apprentice.” She’s currently on a national tour that will take her to major markets around the U.S.

Memphis Music ~ Poplar Tunes ~ Rock N Soul Museum ~ Lansky Bros. ~ All Memphis Music ~ MCVB ~

Poplar Tunes Sign

Hal Lansky Saves Legendary Musical Neon!

Poplar Tunes Sign Joins Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum

Exhibition Tomorrow Morning

Memphis, TN … Tomorrow morning, Wednesday, April 7 at 9:00 a.m., representatives from H.A. Balton Sign Company will arrive at the Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum with the legendary 12’ Poplar Tunes Record Store neon sign in tow, ready to install it on display inside the museum’s “Sun Records & Youth Culture” gallery. This legendary Memphis landmark, recognizable by just about everybody who calls Memphis home, will be loaded into the museum through the museum’s back doors, just behind the infamous fire station at Third and Linden.

The Poplar Tunes sign (or “Pop Tunes” as it was more commonly referenced) was salvaged from certain disappearance by Memphis businessman and music supporter, Hal Lansky, who offered it on loan to the Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum to protect and preserve this critical aspect of Memphis music history. The Lansky’s family clothier business, originally located on Beale Street, dressed many of Memphis’ musical legends, including Elvis Presley. The Lansky’s have always been huge supporters of Memphis music, and have also preserved other artifacts from Memphis’ music history, several of which are already on loan to Rock ‘n’ Soul. H.A. Balton Sign

Company restored the sign, including the legendary “Poplar Tunes” and musical note neon across the top of the sign. Within the museum, changing letters across the bottom of the sign will commemorate significant dates in Memphis music history. The Smithsonian Institution was pleased with the sign’s inclusion within the Smithsonian-developed exhibition, and its significance in telling the Memphis music story.

Poplar Tunes, originally located at 308 Poplar, was within walking distance of Lauderdale Court apartments where Elvis lived while working at Crowne Electric. Elvis and many other Memphis musicians frequented Pop Tunes to listen to the latest 45-record releases of this new evolving music revolution which became known as Rock ‘n’ Roll. Pop Tunes also served as the launching pad of legendary Memphis record label, Hi Records, started in 1957 by Pop Tunes’ owner Joe Cuoghi and several partners. Pop Tunes also served as the largest product provider and servicer for the jukebox industry throughout the southeast U.S., making their music distribution business sort of the early forerunner to iTunes… providing teenagers with push-button selections of the latest musical hits, right at their finger tips.



“Every single Memphian who has ever been downtown remembers this iconic sign,” says John Doyle, Rock ‘n’ Soul Executive Director. “Behind Graceland and Sun Studios, Poplar Tunes former 308 Poplar address is one of the most musically significant addresses in our city. World-changing music exploded from that building; it once even promoted its own ‘Hot Releases’ record charts and you can believe the world paid attention.”



“The Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum is so grateful to Hal and to the entire Lansky family for all they have done for Memphis music. We are grateful to him for saving this great structure, and for bringing it to the Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum.”



The Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Originally developed in association with the Smithsonian Institution, it offers tourists and citizens the only complete exhibition of Memphis music history. It is located on the campus of FedExForum at music Highway 61 (“The Blues Highway” or, to Memphians, Third Street) and legendary Beale Street. The museum is open 7 daily from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. For additional information, contact John Doyle, Executive Director, at (901) 205-2530 or (901) 485-6995 (cell) or at john@memphisrocknsoul.org.

South Memphis String Band ~ All Memphis Music.com ~ Memphis International Records ~




LUTHER DICKINSON, ALVIN YOUNGBLOOD HART & JIMBO MATHUS JOIN FORCES:
SOUTH MEMPHIS STRING BAND'S HOME SWEET HOME

As the free world teeters once again on the terrifying brink of depression, return with us now to those bygone days of yesteryear and lose your troubles in the timeless songs of the South Memphis String Band. Three young contemporary blues artists, each in his own right, a rising star. Three modern Mississippi musicians on a knight’s quest to retrieve, preserve, and carry into the future America’s most unique and meaningful musical statement.
Jim Dickinson (1941 – 2009)

When Luther Dickinson, Alvin Youngblood Hart and Jimbo Mathus got together to make music, it certainly wasn’t out of commercial consideration. This troika of roots-imbued musical pros coalesced through a shared vision and consuming passion for the music of their forebears, most notably the Mississippi Sheiks, Memphis Jug Band, Gus Cannon’s Jug Stompers and other practitioners of pre-blues era roots sounds
Home Sweet Home, their first album, out on Memphis International, showcases their passion for the old timey tradition that is underscored by the group’s name: South Memphis String Band.

South Memphis, of course, is that rough and tumble area of the Bluff City extending from downtown to the Mississippi border, and beyond. It’s where Stax Records as well as, literally, hundreds of churches thrived. The sacred and profane, holy rolling and dice rolling, were cheek by jowl in old South Memphis and its modern day namesake reflects that ecumenicism quite brilliantly. For Luther, Alvin and Jimbo, South Memphis is more of a musical state of mind than a specific geographical location.

They’ve been called a “regional roots music supergroup” but the alliance of Dickinson (from the North Mississippi Allstars and, of late, the Black Crowes), Hart (the Grammy winner who is as equally adept at thrash rock as he is at country blues) and Mathus (of the Squirrel Nut Zippers) is more like three good friends just putting it down in a very traditional way. Mathus explained, “Luther, Youngblood Hart and myself have been musical co-conspirators for over a decade. It is only fitting that we should come together with acoustic instruments and perform Mississippi music.”

Home Sweet Home-Produced by The South Memphis String Band and Bill Wax
Recorded by Jackson MacInnis and Michael Taylor at Sirius/XM Performance Studio, Washington DC

Additional recording and mixing by Justin Showah and Winn McElroy at Delta recording Service, Como, MIssissippi
Mastered by Larry and Kevin Nix at Ardent Studios, Memphis, Tennessee


The Specialty Show will air this Friday night March 26th at 10:00 pm (CST Memphis Time) and will repeat on Saturday morning March 27th at 10:00 am (CST Memphis Time. The Specialty Show features an up close interview with Jimbo Mathus.

Johnny Cash ~ New CD ~ American VI ~ All Memphis Music ~ Memphis Convention & Visitors Bureau




J.R Cash was born near Memphis, in Kingsland, Arkansas, to Ray (1897–1985) and Carrie Cash, and raised in Dyess, Arkansas.

He followed his musical career to Sun Records in Memphis, Tn.

Cash was given the name "J.R." because his parents could not agree on a name, only on initials. When he enlisted in the United States Air Force, the military would not accept initials as his name, so he adopted John R. Cash as his legal name. In 1955, when signing with Sun Records, he took Johnny Cash as his stage name. His friends and in-laws generally called him John, while his blood relatives usually continued to call him J.R

American VI: Ain’t No Grave arrives billed as the last fruit of Johnny Cash. It’s drawn largely from the same sessions that produced American V: A Hundred Highways and recorded at least partly after the death of Cash’s wife, June Carter Cash, as his sight dimmed and his own body failed him for the last time. It’s no surprise that Ain’t No Grave is focused on death and loss. But as usual, Cash uses his Christian faith as the ultimate rebuttal to life’s disappointments. “Ain’t No Grave gonna hold my body down,” Cash sings, as the musical setting of the traditional title track sounds ominous tones. Hope was his last act of defiance.
The 10 songs on American VI find Cash sounding frail but determined, and the material doesn’t let him down.

A cover of Queen Lili’uokalani’s famous Hawaiian farewell “Aloha Oe” is eerily fantastic! Cash is gone now. Aloha means goodbye. But it also means love, mercy, and compassion, all values he treasured. And in this context, it has another meaning found in the last words on the album, and delivered with all the conviction he could summon: “Until we meet again.”

Tom Petty's bandmates Mike Campbell & Benmont Tench are featured on this CD.

The Specialty Show will air this Friday night March 12th at 10:00 pm (CST Memphis Time) and will repeat on Saturday morning March 13th at 10:00 am (CST Memphis Time)

Willie Mitchell Tribute ~ All Memphis Music ~ Hi Records ~ Memphis Convention and Visitors Bureau ~ Soul Music ~ The Memphis Sound ~ Memphis Music




This weekend, AllMemphisMusic.com will feature a tribute to Willie Mitchell. On January 5th, the Memphis Music Community, the world music community, and music lovers everywhere lost a true icon with the passing of Willie Mitchell.

Willie was the consumate music man and consumate music business man. Willie was not only a great musician, he was also a writer, arranger, producer, engineer, studio head, and label head.

Best known for signing Al Green to Hi Records, Willie was also responsible for great music from Ann Peeples, OV Wright, Donald Bryant, Syl Johnson, Hi Rhythm, and his own hit instrumentals such as "20-75", and "Percolatin", and many others. He also worked with non R&B artists, the likes of Keith Richards, John Mayer, and Rod Stewart, just to name a few.

Not only was Willie known for his great musical accomplishments, but anyone who has ever spoken about Willie, never fails to mention how Willie was a man of great humility, integrity, compassion and caring.

Willie's musical accomplishments are well documented, and although Willie is no longer with us, his music will be with us forever.

On this week's tribute to Willie Mitchell, we will feature music and artists he was involved with, and comments from people that knew and loved him.

The Specialty Show will air this Friday night January 22nd at 10:00 pm (CST Memphis Time) and will repeat on Saturday morning January 23rd at 10:00 am (CST Memphis Time)
