Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Some of the artists on this CD have had enormous success as recording artists(Carla Thomas with 23 singles on the R&B charts, Ann Peebles with her classic "I Can't Stand The Rain.") Cordell Jackson was an overnight celebrity as the "Rock 'n' Roll Granny" from the 1980s Budweiser commercials. Cybill Shepherd, known for her acting career, is also a fine jazz singer with more than a half dozen recordings to her credit. Jesse Mae Hemphill has twice won the Handy Award for Best Traditional Female Blues Artist(1987 and 1988), and Kallen Esperian is an international opera star. Several other women included on this CD have been actively performing in and around Memphis for years. Most have CD releases on independent labels, while a few have been signed to major labels during the course of their careers (Susanne Jerome Taylor, Gwin Spencer, Klaudia Kroboth, for example). In addition to these talented ladies, a virtual who's who of studio musicians are heard on this CD. ! This compilation encompasses four decades of music from the city that is the musical crossroads of America.
Product Description
Women have always played an integral role in American popular music, especially in blues and jazz. Known as the home of the blues and the birthplace of rock 'n' roll, Memphis has been fertile soil for the growth of American popular music. "Memphis Belles-Past, Present & Future" is a comprehensive sampler that includes some of the most widely respected female artists associated with Memphis. It encompasses practically every style of music from classical to alternative rock. The 12-page booklet includes descriptions and photos of each of the 20 artists. Hardly anything or anybody is left out of this effort from Inside Sounds, a Memphis-based label founded in 1992.
