In 2001, France's greatest blues musician, Jean-Jacques Milteau, went to Memphis and recorded some astonishing sessions: under the direction of Willie Mitchell, the legendary man behind Hi Records (home of Al Green and Ann Peebles), Jay Jay, some great local names like Mighty Mo Rodgers, and Little Milton's band.
Jean-Jacques Milteau had the foresight to modernize his blues, notably by tackling a surprising repertoire on this album. Here, covers of Sting and Neil Young rub shoulders with traditional twelve-bar blues on an exceptional album where blues and pop coexist in perfect harmony. With 'Memphis,' Jean-Jacques Milteau created one of his best albums, praised by critics and audiences alike. It is now being released on vinyl for the first time.
