Last year we searched the murky back waters of youtube to find full concerts
and posted them to the site monthly. That was all well and good but this year RtBE
is upping the ante with a show every week to celebrate Full Show
Friday's. These shows are of varying quality and may not be here for
long so enjoy them
while you can...As always, please support the artist every which way,
but especially by seeing them live (if they are still playing)...This week...Memphis Slim & Sonny Boy Williamson!
Not only are there the two headliners, but Matt Guitar Murphy is playing the six strings and Bill Stepney is manning the skins! This is an all-star show that lasts just under an hour and needs to be seen by all who like the blues. Extra bonus features include Mae Mercer and Otis Spann too...what a hoot!
Highlights all of a young MGM's hot guitar licks, especially in "All By Myself". Sonny's great Harp on "I'm A Lonely Man" and Spann's amazing piano playing to finish things off..
Enjoy Friday and some down home cookin' blues:
