VA: THE CRAZY RHYTHMS OF MATA HARI 2xLP

Description

Rolling Rockabilly, Hot and Cool Hillbilly-Country, Wild Westernswing and Swing, Sleazy-Listening, Surf-Strip-Instro-Popcorn-Trash, Sinuous Soul & Slinky R`n ́B. Deep in the Mississippi Delta lie the roots of Blues and Soul. In Memphis, Tennessee – a mysterious place for all music lovers – the cradle of Rock`n ́Roll is rocking to the rhythm of the “muddy old river”. Right there in the south of “eerie America“, in New Orleans and further upstream in Memphis you can find the legendary places where musical history was made, and where the genesis of Rock`n ́Roll and Rockabilly (a combination of Country and Hillbilly) took place. The journey continues further north to Nashville, to Texas or to Chicago…
The legendary pulp-country deejay-team and the Mata Hari-Bar (Nuremberg) melt into the Memphis Music Club: an exciting cooperation of two entities, passionate about and in love with these sounds. They aim to honor this kind of music and to inspire their guests.
