Great!
btw I think the blues he plays is probably closer to what many would call soul/R&B. (Maybe more like the Malaco sound?) In defense of Memphis (I’m
from Boston area, and am a white man who plays blues on
college radio) we can’t forget the major force the city has played in terms of blues, soul, and rock. Stax Records,
Sun, Rufus Thomas, Elvis, Booker T and the MGs, W.C. Handy,
Beale Street, B.B. King, Memphis Minnie, Memphis Slim, etc.
Even the “blue eyed soul” of Alex Chilton and the Box Tops, who used to shop at Poplar Tunes (record store) on Poplar
Ave.
oops, the Poplar Ave mentioned is in Arkansas! Oh well
It actually is fairly powerful by day, 5000 watts according to radio-locator.com...26 watts at night

STONE AWARDS STATE THAT I AM THE MOST OUTSTANDING RADIO PERSONALITY IN MEMPHIS
Back in that day we owned three record shops around Memphis. The Disc & Tape was in Collierville, Southland Mall & Bartlett. We bought wholesale from Poplar on some things. Went to record release shin-digs. One I remember clearly was a release for a record by the Temptations. A lot of those people you mentioned were there. Rufus was there, & Isaac Hayes with his gaggle of bald beauties. (Our son went to Montessori school with Isaac’s kids.) There were four white people at that party, us and two of our friends. Great party. But I still hate Memphis.
And "Dusty in Memphis" is one of my all-time favorites.
