Singer and guitar player Mem Shannon belongs to the new or intermediate generation of gifted able bluesmen Mem was born in 1959 in New Orleans, Louisiana, and before becoming a musician, he worked as taxi driver This new work was recorded live at ‘Tipitina’s’ and it represents a step ahead on his musical career As years go passing by, Mem is getting a better solid reputation, thanks to an increasing maturity on his work, which has led him to be one of the new names who is gradually reaching a place on blues history His 2006 previous work ‘I’m From Phunkville was nominated for two blues music awards as ‘Best Soul/Blues Male Artist’ and ‘Best Soul/Blues Album’ Live is a good sample that shows the original way he has to mix blues and funk, all spiced with s soul flavour, present in every song included on the cd
