“Goin’ South,” the new single by The Memphis Royal Brothers, features the iconic Charlie Musselwhite on vocals and harmonica.
“It all came together to create a beautiful and unforgettable mood. I felt so comfortable in this swampy groove,” Musselwhite declared.
The appropriately dubbed Memphis Royal Brothers boast a line-up of living legends; six are Grammy Award winners, several are nominees, and one is an Oscar winner. Boo stated, “The Memphis Royal Brothers are a collective; you’ve got musicians from Royal and Stax; I mix it up with some young guys too. It’s making music, passing torches, and just good for the whole music community.”
This incredible combination resulted in an album for the ages, featuring songs that share a timeless tradition, performed by masterful musicians, and produced in a place that reflects one of the essential bloodlines of roots, blues, and rock and roll: Clarksdale, Mississippi.
