about
Stripped Down In Memphis is a collection of songs that comes from two sessions recorded in Memphis. The first was recorded in 1998 with Alabama bluesman Wild Child Butler after we reissued his release "Lickin' Gravy” in the same year.
The second session is unreleased songs from Big Jack’s “The Memphis Barbecue Sessions” recorded in 2000 with Kim Wilson on harmonica and released in 2002. It would receive a W.C. Handy Award for Acoustic Album of the Year.
Mark Carpentieri president of M.C. Records and producer of the album shares some thoughts about Stripped Down In Memphis:
I was so happy to discover these recordings. You get to see all of Big Jack in these recordings, his amazing playing, his humor, and creating some of the deepest blues you’ll hear. Wild Child Butler was truly underrated during his time and these recordings prove
that. As of Kim Wilson, he was able to create the tone and dynamics without the use of amplification and that's why he’s regarded as a master of the instrument.
Stripped Down In Memphis is an unvarnished and rich blues collection that features Big Jack on acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and the mandolin. Both Wild Child and Kim Wilson play their
harmonicas without amplification making for rich and honest accompaniment to Big Jack's playing and singing.
