\"\"For me, the Black & Wyatt Records label is a trademark of quality. Since its launch in 2018, the Memphis label has sought to bring interesting and outside-the-box music to the wider public. And it\u2019s been quite successful on that score: I\u2019ve covered a number of Black & Wyatt releases here on Musoscribe, including titles from Jack Oblivian<\/a>, Turnstyles<\/a>, Your Academ<\/a>y, Snowglobe<\/a>, Heathens<\/a> and more.<\/p>\n

It seems like as good a time as any for the label to pause a beat and take a victory lap. And that\u2019s pretty much what Always Memphis Rock and Roll<\/i> is: a 14-track collection of songs from some of those artists, and others besides. Recorded in 1956(!), the amazing \u201cSteady Girl\u201d from The Heathens is the standout cut here \u2013 and the one with the most compelling back story \u2013 but it\u2019s a fun comp from start to finish. The song list aims to chronicle Black & Wyatt\u2019s first few years in operation, and this set of (non-chronologically sequenced) tunes succeeds on that level, drawing from B&W\u2019s first nine releases. It\u2019s also a fun listen, and \u2013 for anyone who might need it \u2013 a tidy window into understanding what the label is all about. And hey: it\u2019s on vinyl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
