Booker T. Laury grew up with
Memphis Slim and the two are good friends. Consequently, his piano style has much of the same barrelhouse sound as
Slim's.
Laury has stayed in Memphis, however, playing in the same clubs his entire life. Although some foreign albums were released, he had no domestic full-length. Therefore, Bullseye Blues released
Nothin' but the Blues, with
Laury's voice and piano the only instruments on the record. ~ John Bush
