		Founded in 1819 on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi river, on land bought from the Native American Chickasaw tribe, Memphis was a crossroads town that grew rich on the cotton trade.
		In those days Memphis bars were not allowed to sell spirits, which meant that patrons had to go to a liquor store to buy a bottle of whisky in a brown paper bag in order to have something to mix with the Coke or the water that the bar provided.

		Kantor, the genial, walrus-mustached visionary behind Memphis Minnie's, is devoted to preserving proper barbecuing technique – defending it against those agents of efficiency who would stick a side of pork in the oven, cover it with sauce, and label the result "barbecue."
		Memphis Minnie's offers three kinds of barbecue sauce: Texas (red and tomatoey), South Carolina (mustard-based), and North Carolina (vinegar-oriented).
		As a Texas red-sauce partisan, I will say that the red sauce at Memphis Minnie's is as good as any I've ever tasted, and I've driven across the South three times, and eating barbecue was central to my purpose every time.

		Previous to this, I only had one Memphis Minnie disc, so the vast majority of this box was new to me. Memphis Minnie is truly one of the giants of pre-war blues, yet she seems to be somewhat forgotten.
		The pre-war era was when blues lyrics actually had something to say, and Minnie's lyrics are an excellent window into not only herself, but also into the flipside of life (of that era) and blues...
		Minnie would seem to be as rough and tumble as any of her male counterparts.
