"While there has been plenty of precedent, regarding
Alvarius B
's fascination with the down and out of Anglo/American cultural refuse,
That's How I Got To Memphis
is certainly his most realized collection of paying homage to it. The fact that this whole album is a collection of covers that have invaded AB's current musical obsessions is testament to the timeless nature of the original artists songwriting prowess. Imagine
Joe Meek
coming back from the dead to produce a country western and northern album by a Saginaw miscreant fried up in the Orman botanical gardens of Cairo Egypt. That this album could be a perfect soundtrack to a
Paul Lynch
sequel to his portrait of failed ambition masterpiece
The Hard Part Begins
is irrelevant, because it stands alone as a sequel to another AB masterpiece,
Baroque Primitiva
. That this album also highlights actual OUTSIDER artists from the halcyon days of holy, rebellious, loner losers should give hope, cuz outsider these days means you don't have a gmail account or Meta colonized brain.
That's How I Got To Memphis
is a superb collection of songs about longing, love lost and found, curios picked up and dropped off, tragedy and hope, confusion and epiphany while stumbling around through back roads to nowhere." --
