Sandy Carroll - Memphis Rain (1997) Lossless

As a piano player, Sandy Carroll is energetic and earthy, drawing from blues and early rock 'n roll influences to create a soulful and distinctly Southern sound. Her mastery over the keys and passionate vocal delivery have earned her the title the "Boogie Woogie Queen Of Memphis."

As a songwriter, she has co-written songs for legendary blues guitarist Albert King as well as multiple Handy Awards winning performer Luther Allison ('Blues Thang' and 'Just As I Am' from the 1997 release "Reckless"). In 1984 she released "Memphis In May," which was produced by Jim Dickinson and grabbed the attention of thousands of Memphis music fans throughout the United States. Her debut CD "Southern Woman" features all original compositions and has been critically acclaimed for Carroll's vocal versatility and solid songwriting. The CD was also played on European radio, resulting in tour dates overseas.

In May of 1997, her second CD "Memphis Rain" was released on the Inside Sounds/Inside Memphis label. Produced by blues guitarist James Solberg with a little help from producer Jim Gaines, "Memphis Rain" has received critical acclaim throughout the United States and Europe.
