Booker T. Laury

Booker T. Laury

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
