  M.A.D.E. - Memphis Bleek | Album Reviews > HipHopDX.com
So enter Memphis Bleek, the young protégé tipped from the beginning days of the label to be the future of the Roc.
The first thing you notice after the first listen to the album is that Bleek is definitely trying to increase his fan base with this one.
The majority of the album is handled by Roc in-house production maestro Just Blaze, and for the most he brings the heat on each of the songs he laces.

It was her high watermark; she settled in America and recorded a series of hit and miss albums, though her performances cannot be faulted and all containing the occasional great performance.
The release of the album was postponed to allow her time to have treatment.
Once she was given the all clear, "A Very Fine Love" was released in 1995 but the momentum had been lost and the album was not a success, suffering from unfair comparisons to the classic "Dusty In Memphis" album.

Praised for its swooning guitar, piano melodies and lo-fi soundscapes, Memphis debut, I Dreamed We Fell Apart was described as the perfect late-summer album in August 2004.
The albums first track, a reference to the bands debut album entitled I Dreamed We Fell Apart, is ghostly and hypnotic with its references to winding country roads, dreams and times velocity.
Fleshier than Memphis premier album in terms of musical range, with gentle horns and strings that swell in almost every track, ALPITW is evocative of innocence and the sprawling daydreams of childhood.

 Dylan Pool :: Dylan Pool discussion :: Albums (83): "From Elvis In Memphis" by Elvis Presley (NDC)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
After a 14-year absence from Memphis, Elvis Presley returned to cut what was certainly his greatest album (or, at least, a tie effort with his RCA debut LP from early 1956).
The result was one of the greatest white soul albums (and one of the greatest soul albums) ever cut, with brief but considerable forays into country, pop, and blues as well.
The Memphis album is good and harks back to the sides he cut at RCA 1960, 1961, but compare these sides with the tracks he cut just before he went into the army, he had already lost it.

Memphis Belle: (George Fenton) Depicting a heroic bomber mission in World War II, Memphis Belle is a tale of the final exploits of a bomber plane by the same name.
The story of the Memphis Belle is as exciting as it is heroic, with the famed planed nearly meeting with disaster before miraculously returning safely at the end.
Even as it is, Memphis Belle takes hold of you without fail in its sixth cue on album (unless you are caught by the rendition of "Amazing Grace" in the previous cue), as the plane becomes airborne.

 Amazon.com: 534: Music: Memphis Bleek   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Memphis Bleek's fourth album "534" (2005) is a solid release.
But when I say that this album is good, I don't mean good as in it's nice to finally get a decent album from him; I actually mean "one of the best albums of the year so far" good.
What's weird about this album is having another rapper (Jay-Z) rapping the second song of the album when Bleek himself isn't involved with the song at all, not producing not rapping not even in as a background vocalist...

 Memphis Bleek - M.A.D.E. - Album Reviews - The Elements - Your One Stop For Hip Hop and Rap Music
His second LP "The Understanding" was a much more successful album due to the hit song "Is That Your Chick" which featured Missy Elliot, Jay-Z, and Twista.
While Memphis Bleek and Juelz Santana are very much alike since they are both protégés of popular emcees on the Roc (Jay-Z and Cam'Ron), both Juelz and Bleek have been criticized for lack of lyrical depth.
Memphis Bleek has improved with age and "M.A.D.E." is an entertaining album due to his energy, the guests, and the top-notch production.

Anyway, confidence high Memphis released a series of 12”s, from Blue States (The Trainer Shuffle, Your Girl, Walkabout), Broadway Project (Born Spirit, Crash/Recovery and The Kingdom of God) and La Mouche (The High And The Mighty, Super Strasse).

Second albums from Broadway Project with The Vessel and Fort Lauderdale with Pretty Monster further enhance Memphis’ reputation for skewed and skewered pop.

While the album will not fill the void that Jay left, 534 is arguably Bleek's most consistent album to date.
Memphis Bleek's strong points have always been his forceful delivery, consistent flow, and solid voice structure.

Earl Thomas has now, most definitely, "been to Memphis," the Southern term that connotes a person of experience, erudition and worldliness; the evidence is his new album for Memphis International Records, Intersection.
The Tennessee-born, Northern California-based Thomas finally traveled to Memphis late last year where, with some help from great players, collaborators and a producer who knew when to intervene and when to stand clear, an album unlike any he'd done before was birthed.
It was Memphis International Records co-founder David Less' idea to bring Earl to Memphis for this album.

 Cool Jerks : Cleaned a Lot of Plates in Memphis - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
The album title is itself a bit of a double entendre, serving as a nod to both the John Fogerty classic from which the line is borrowed ("Proud Mary") and to all the time the bandmembers have spent washing dishes and daydreaming about rock & roll.
One of the album's best tracks, "Let It Go and Rock!," was co-authored by Dave Boyer and Forrest Hewes (both formerly of the Neckbones), and the guys trade vocals lines throughout the song, making it perhaps the most shining example of the great things these musicians are capable of when they put their heads together.
The Boyer-penned "Man and a Woman" is barebones drums-and-guitar blues-rock, calling to mind the more reserved moment of Jon Spencer, while his "Not the Only Girl in Town" is an ode to not letting the world get you down, sort of the anti-blues.

 John Hiatt in Memphis: Roots Rocker Records to New Sonoma-24
With albums such as Crossing Muddy Waters and the raw roots classics Bring the Family and Slow Turning, there has always been a deep soulfulness at the core of his artistry.
Hiatt has known Dickinson's sons from the time they were young kids absorbing their dad's deep love for the expressive intersections of Delta Southern culture and music, and watched them playing punk rock and jug band music and ultimately evolving into superb players with their own critically acclaimed band, the North Mississippi Allstars.
To achieve that sonic vision, Dickinson, Hiatt and engineer/mixer John Hampton took advantage of an opportunity for the album to become the debut session using the first “real-world” multitrack DSD (Direct Stream Digital) recorder, the Sonoma 24, which was developed by Gus Skinas.

 Fried Glass Onions - Memphis Meets The Beatles, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
Fried Glass Onions is a noble attempt to let some contemporary Memphis musicians try their hand at interpreting the Beatles, and the result is always interesting, if not always striking.
Daddy Mack Orr recasts "Get Back" (which is perhaps the Beatles song that sounded most Memphis to begin with) as a slow, burning North Mississippi blues, complete with slide guitars and some smoldering harmonica work from Billy Gibson, and the song somehow emerges as both more ominous and more insistent.
In all, Fried Glass Onions has a fun yet reverent feel, and if most of the covers here fail to chase the original Beatles version from your head, well, that probably wouldn't necessarily be a good thing anyway.

Their first two albums ‘Record’ and ‘Radio City’ have become cult classics and are very collectable.
