Sounds Like "This Memphis super band can deliver the soulful, spirited, and often very funny sounds that first made Beale Street famous." - the MEMPHIS FLYER "If W.C. Handy and Memphis Minnie were still alive, they'd be dancin' hand in hand down Beale Street with a devilish fervor. It's that good!" - MILES OF MUSIC "In a town with more blues bands than you can shake a porkpie hat at, the Bluff City Backsliders truly stand out as something unique." - the COMMERCIAL APPEAL "Well-timed and unquestionably interesting, balancing gravity and levity, verisimilitude and the grotesque."

Most of you Memphis folks know and love our good buddy Don Perry, photographer extraordinaire.
Well, next Friday, 2/27, Don will be having a photo show at the Hi-Tone, and we'll be playing. I think the doors will open around 8 and you can come and check out Don's amazing pics, and even buy some of it. Don is doing really great work around town, documenting the music scene and the city of Memphis itself.

As usual, there's no opener. We'll start up around 10-ish, but get there before that so you can enjoy Don's photos without a couple of Fenders squawling in your ears.

The cover is - you guessed it - five bucks.
See ya there!
