Robin Mckelle & The Flytones- Heart of Memphis (CD)
Acclaimed as one of the great new jazz singers, Robin McKelle has been taking risks, redefining her artistic identity and mining her inspirations in blues and soul music. Though much of this Rochester, New York native’s career has been based in Europe, her latest record finds her drawn to the core of American blues and soul, theHEART OF MEMPHIS. It’s in the cradle of the Blues that she imagined making this explosive album in the great soul tradition of the 60/70’s, adding a contempory touch with her songwriting. Produced by Scott Bomar of the Bo-Keys, the man behind the mixing console for many of Isaac Hayes’ and Al Green’s recording sessions—McKellemade it clear she wanted her album to be in line with the sound of these artists. With her deep voice and her earthy, frank, direct and gut-wrenching singing, McKelle embraces the legacy of those great artists from a city well-known for its tendency toward raw expression.
