Memphis Grease (Vinyl)
What is a genius? Merriam-Webster defines it as “a very smart or talented person; a person who has a level of talent or intelligence that is very rare or remarkable.” By these criteria, not only was Albert Einstein one of these, but also Frank Lloyd Wright, the recently-departed Maya Angelou, Babe Ruth, and Boise, Idaho’s John Németh.
The latter is a genius in soulful vocals, keen songwriting, and being an absolute wunderkind of blues harp. One need only listen to his eighth album, “Memphis Grease,” in order to hear proof.
Performing with him are the Bo Keys: drummer Howard Grimes, Scott Bomar on Fender bass and percussion, Al Gamble on keyboards and background vocals, guitarist Joe Restivo, trumpeter and horn arranger Marc Franklin, Kirk Smothers on tenor sax, Art Edmaiston on baritone sax, and background vocalist Percy Wiggins.
Also featured on background vocals are Susan Marshall, Reba Russell, and Christopher, Calvin, and Courtney Barnes
