Stone Crush: Memphis Modern Soul 1977
Definitive anthology of Memphis' Modern Soul Scene.
Memphis has always been a studio town, where making hit records looked easy. An unknown Elvis could walk into Sun Studios and cut a side, while Willie Mitchell worked his magic around the corner at the Hi Records studio. This vast studio ecosystem meant that even when Stax Records folded in 1975, everybody still knew somebody who could get them into a real recording facility. The city's largest player in the business was gone, but the possibilities that it introduced were not.
Stone Crush is the definitive overview of Memphis' modern soul scene of the post-Stax years.
Over a decade in the making, Stone Crush is an expertly curated compilation of these home-grown slices of Memphis stylings, from roller skate boogie to private press soul to bedroom funk--rare sides whose original copies are considered holy grails by DJs and collectors all over. This collection does more than transport us to a time gone by. It helps us hear what couldn't be heard then.
