During this era of Memphis music history, most of the world thought of Elvis and his recent comeback in 1968. But as you’ll witness in this documentary, the actual Memphis was quite different.. Thanks to Fat Possum Records and everyone who worked on this and released yesterday.

I failed to mention that I played Lucero on this broadcast because their guitar player, Brian Venable turned 50 last Friday, June 19. He and and I are close friends and own homes next to one another. I had him as a guest on the podcast earlier this year. Or was it last year? I can’t remember! Pandemic brain!
