Alvarius B
That's How I Got To Memphis...
...(AND OTHER EGYPIAN LOVE SONGS)' - While there has been plenty of precedent regarding Alvarius B's fascination with the down and out of Anglo/American cultural refuse, 'That's How I Got To Memphis' is certainly his most realized collection of paying homage to it. The fact that this whole album is a collection of covers that have invaded AB's current musical obsessions is testament to the timeless nature of the original artists songwriting prowess. Imagine Joe Meek coming back from the dead to produce a country western and northern album by a Saginaw miscreant fried up in the Orman botanical gardens of Cairo, and maybe you'll have an idea of what to expect.
