Memphis Jug Band | Memphis Jug Band (Arch.) | Album
Regular price
The self-titled Memphis Jug Band archival collection (originally released as a double LP by Yazoo Records) is widely considered by music critics to be the definitive, five-star retrospective of pre-war street-party blues. Led by multi-instrumentalist Will Shade, this seminal compilation captures the raw, energetic, and irreverent spirit of Beale Street between 1927 and 1934. The band brilliantly replaces traditional brass section tubas or trombones with empty whiskey jugs to create a deep, pulsing bassline.
