. Anthology 1929-1944
by: Memphis Minnie
Release Date September 01, 1995
Big Bill Broonzy said that Memphis Minnie played guitar as well as any man he'd ever heard. This CD features some instrumentals as well as some accompanied songs. Some - maybe the best ones - are duets with Minnie's (one time) husband Kansas Joe. In these the guitar playing is quite delightful, one guitar playing rhythm, the other filling some great licks and riffs. Historically Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe were important as pioneers of the new National (steel-bodied) guitar. As usual, Catfish have packaged this album nicely and got their usual good sound quality.
