A followup to yesterday’s James Luther Dickinson post:
In 1978, Dickinson produced a musical tour/history of Beale Street for the Memphis Development Foundation. Beale Street was not yet the tourist destination that it is now. This album was part of the plan to revitalize the street. It worked.
Some of the performers on the record are Furry Lewis, Sleepy John Estes, Grandma Dixie Davis, Sid Selvidge, Ry Cooder, Prince Gabe, Mudboy & The Neutrons and Thomas Pinkston. There is someone named Alex but it’s not the one you think it is, I understand that this Alex was a Memphis street musician.
note; Teenie Hodges of Al Green Fame!!!
Vinyl Rip; and miles better that "dixie fried"! must have!
Side One: mp3
Side Two: mp3
