I discovered Memphis Minnie by way of some of the old bluesmen that taught me how to play. I was was 16 in 1970 when i started to learn how to play blues, and fell in with a whole group of real players that taught me all they had. But Memphis Minnie taught me attitude. You ain't got that, you ain't got what it takes to play the blues! She was special!
Wow! What an honor to have Memphis Minnie buried in your church cemetery! Thanks Dr. Matthews for sharing that bit of interesting info with us! It would be so cool to go and visit her gravesite!
@BrikSwoony It is good & I love it but please don't make statements like this. I don't think I have to explain,just have a think about your words,then listen to any of Bessie's recordings.
Greetings to you all. My name is Prof. Carlos D. Matthews & I attend the New Hope Missionary Baptist Church in Walls, MS. The legendary Memphis Minnie is buried in our church cemetery. I was young, but I remember when her body was laid to rest there. People come from both near and far just to visit her grave and leave memorable artifacts there. We consider it an honor to have her resting there. God bless you all.
That's the risk you run when you're 'Kissing In The Dark'. Too bad. Maybe he learned his lesson and will be more careful in future. Always use a condom.
I've been trying to work out some her songs for awhile now....open G tuning I believe. If you want to hear this great stuff being played live, check out Del Rey! She is a smoking hot guitar player!...Im just sayin
Little Brother Montgomery on piano ...a very good one.... But...... listen to the early ones on Vocalion like FRANKIE JEAN ( that trotting Fool ) on Vo 1588
Memphis Minnie (* 3. Juni 1897 Algiers, Louisiana; † 8. August 1973 in Memphis, Tennessee; eigentlich Lizzie Douglas) war eine US-amerikanische Bluesmusikerin.
The rock n' roll originator, Kid Douglas, Memphis Minnie Queen of the Guitar Blues. Many of the bluesmen were reluctant to credit a woman with coming up with so many of the great riffs but a lot of them like Chuck Berry, Jimmy Rogers and T-Bone Walker gave her credit where credit was due. Long live the Queen!!

when i think about it, her voice doesn't sound too nice, just easy to swing too. Maybe that's what makes it nice.
