Memphis Gold returns with another fresh set of originals, blending the traditional influences from his Memphis background (including the Rev. Robert Wilkins and the Fieldstones) with contemporary blues and soul. Joining him are a host of musicians from the Washington, D.C. blues scene, including Jay Summer our on harmonica, Clarence Bluesman Turner on bass, Pete Ragusa on drums, and Robert Lighthouse on slide guitar. Memphis Gold, whose real name is Chester Chandler, was a tree trimmer by day and blues guitarist by night, but suffered severe injuries in a fall from a tree in 2008. He never lost his positive attitude, however, and has not only continued to perform but has generated new publicity and support from Gibson Guitars and Living Blues Magazine, among others. He has graced the cover of European blues journals and now he is on the cover of Living Blues (issue #199) in the U.S.
