about

Born in 1897 in Algiers, Louisiana, Memphis Minnie was one of the earliest blues guitarists on recording and one of the most prolific musicians of her era. She wrote and recorded over 200 songs, an intricate guitarist and innovator, her up-the-neck guitar solos are considered visionary, and ahead of their time. Her songs have been covered by the likes of Led Zeppelin, Jefferson Airplane, Fleetwood Mac, Taj Mahal, Muddy Waters, Alabama Shakes and many others. Her impact on the evolution of Blues music cannot be overstated. We are honored to be releasing a version of her classic song “When The Levee Breaks”.
