Memphis Grease [Digipak] by John Németh (CD, Mar-2014, Blue Corn Music) New

Description: Product DescriptionJohn Németh was probably the only kid in Boise who grew up in the 1980s listening to Chicago blues... In the three decades since, Németh has transformed himself from a fan to a modern soul-blues purveyor of the highest order, receiving five Blues Music Award nominations in 2012 and two in 2013, including the B.B. King Entertainer of the Year award. It's a journey that took him to San Francisco, then Oakland, California, followed by a relocation to the birthplace of blues, soul and rock-and-roll, Memphis. He landed in the perfect place: Electraphonic Studio, home of producer and musician Scott Bomar, who composed the film scores for ''Hustle & Flow'' and ''Black Snake Moan' and produced Cyndi Lauper's ''Memphis Blues.'' Support by the Bo-Keys, Bomar's group of veteran Memphis performers who made their names backing the likes of Al Green, O.V. Wright, Rufus Thomas and the Bar-Kays, Németh quickly laid down thirteen tracks that as he describes it, ''Live in the style like I live in the style.'' That style is a deeply forged amalgamation of scorching harmonica-driven blues and sweet blue-eyed soul ala The Box Tops or Roy Head, delivered via two fistfuls of originals and a trio of carefully chosen covers. ''Memphis Grease,'' the long-awaited follow up to 2010's ''Name The Day!'', embodies everything that sets Németh apart from the soul-blues revivalist pack: it's innovative and unique while epitomizing the absolute best of the genre. Review''Németh is one of the finest young additions to the soul blues scene.'' -----AllMusic 'Németh has been bringing in new fans by the bushel. ... Németh is the fastest rising star in the blues firmament, a supremely versatile performer who has made true believers of some of the biggest names in the business.'' -----Seattle Times ''Classic soul and R&B styles have been revitalized in recent years by a cadre of young and relatively young artists such as James Hunter, Eli ''Paperboy'' Reed, and Sharon Jones. You can include John Németh on any list of the best of them.'' ----Philadelphia Inquirer TracklistThree Times A Fool5:04Sooner Or Later3:13Her Good Lovin'4:05Stop3:26If It Ain't Broke4:42I Can't Help Myself3:38Crying3:57My Baby's Gone3:02Testify My Love5:31Bad Luck Is My Name4:35Keep The Love A Comin'4:34Elbows On The Wheel4:30I Wish I Was Home3:35
