Muisc Notes by Mark Jordan Tennessee Travelers Memphis will have to bid goodbye to two very different but gifted musicians in the coming days. Acoustic bluesman Keith Brown will play his last local gig as a full-time Memphian at Huey's-Midtown this Sunday from 4 to 7 p.m. Brown, who was a runner-up (and some would say robbed of first place) at the Blues Foundation's International Blues Talent Competition a couple of years back, is moving to West Palm Beach, Florida, to front a band. Brown is one of the most traditional of the new-breed acoustic players. His voice is straight out of church while his picking shows a formidable knowledge of Delta style. And on Thursday, August 12th, Megan Reilly will take her last bow in town for awhile at the Map Room. She is heading to New York. Reilly got her start as Lucynell Crater, turning quite a few heads and ears with her unique post-punk take on traditional country. We've heard that, besides reverting to her real name, Reilly has shifted toward more rock-oriented material. New Stuff In The Bins Keyboardist Parker Card has been playing on the local scene for almost 25 years, either as a member of a group or as a sideman. In either case, he's usually been a standout with his Booker T.-drenched Hammond B-3 work, his blue-eyed soul vocals, and superior songwriting skill. But now, for the first time, Card has stepped fully into the limelight with his debut CD. Even here, on an album where he wrote all 10 tracks, Card isn't taking sole credit. Parker Card And The Sideman Syndicate is the eponymous debut of the band Card has fronted for the past two years. As the name implies, some of Memphis' best players have floated through the Syndicate's ranks in those two years, and some of the best of them are on the album as well. The potent horn section of saxophonists Art Edmaiston and Tom Link and trumpeter Scott Thompson team up on a couple of tracks. And on the opening number, "Rescue Me," local guitar gods Shawn Lane and Eric Gales swap leads. It's a testament to Card's abilities as a band leader and writer that these two flash-prone players reign it in and deliver tasteful solos that complement the rest of this fine soul album. The MGs would be proud. New national releases due in stores this week include: Guided by Voices Do the Collapse (TVT) Alison Krauss Forget About It (Rounder) Wayne Hancock Wild, Free & Reckless (Ark 21) The Hot Club of Cowtown Tall Tales (HighTone) Taj Mahal and Toumani Diabate Kulanjan (Rykodisc) Phil Woods and the Jazz Class Orchestra Porgy and Bess (Philology)
