It's so so long ago, but I when I was a teenager I saw these guys play twice in London on their UK tour, as we must have heard a John Peel session, or maybe this record. Both times, we met them in the bar afterwards and Colorblind James and the band were very gracious to the gang of us. You can't find this album now, but it still sounds good.
I'm really kind of surprised that so many people around the world know this band, being that they're from Rochester NY, but I guess I forgot they toured Europe.
I used to play Memphis on my radio show here in Rochester NY, it was a huge request item well into the 90's. Those breaks in that song were musicianship of the highest order!
i first heard colourblind james on andy kershaw in the mid 80's. I'm cosidering a move to memphis, thats memphis tennessee, it worked for elvis presley, why cant it work for me. Wonderful,
Any chance you could upload German Girls? I've got this album on a very worn cassette tape, how I wish it was available as a cd or a download somewhere, it's a classic and a favourite, thank you so much for your efforts...
Can anyone please post "Rockin' As Fast As I Can"??

Thanks for the upload fantastic stuff reminds me of john Peel too.
The cd's are very elusive and expensive if you find one, there are eight if you include The greatest hits.
