Combining old school feel, with a modern touch, Memphis Lightning have created a new foundation to the Blues. Playing a mean groove on "Story of my Life" to a true delta style on "67 Cadillac". Memphis Lightning shows there versatility by playing a roots rock style track "Great Day" to a 50's style song on "Coming Home". Rockabilly even makes it on the album, as "Let It Go" and funky blues takes over with "Trouble" and "Go Away". Along with a funky New Orleans style on "Sit With Me" to a rocking blues tune Crazy Man Blues to finish off there Album. We're Memphis Lightning and we bring our own brand of old school Rock & Roll and down and dirty Blues to a juke joint near you. Memphis Lightning was born out of tradition with a pedigree second to none. Having played with the Blues Legend Eddie "Blues Man" Kirkland, Memphis Lightning are the real deal. Their energetic performances will bring you back to the days when the Juke joints were rocking and the Blues was King. So bring a friend, roll back the rug and get on the floor....Memphis Lightning is in the House.
