There’s something about old microphones and how voices just cut through the air with them. You don’t get such a sound anymore however hard people try.
King Curtis orchestrates this culinary musical delight and the band are tight, there’s no doubt about that. Would have been an honour to have heard this one live as Curtis goes from musician to musician like their ingredients.

Oh and look closely at the young left-handed guitarist on the right of the picture – guessed who it is yet?? Put these people out of their misery and add a comment if you know!
Now we’re going add a bit of spice to Curtis’ stew.

that’d be Jimi Hendrix.
And Memphis Soul Stew is a quality tune…haven’t head it for years… “a little bit of fatback drums” indeed.
