Yup, the new album from Miss 'Girls Just Want To Have Fun' is a spirited collection of classic blues covers of such legends as Muddy Waters, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Lowell Fulsom, Memphis Slim, and others. Recorded in Memphis with a veteran band that includes former Stax Records session men Lester Snell and Skip Pitts, and Hi Rhythm Section alumni Leroy Hodges and Howard Grimes, Memphis Blues also includes guest performances by guitarists B.B. King and Jonny Lang, recent Blues Hall of Fame inductee Charlie Musselwhite, and New Orleans music legend Allen Toussaint. Try it, you might like it! (Release date: 06/22/10)
