A Cab Driver's Blues]
Mem Shannon's first album, A Cab Driver's Blues, became a minor media sensation upon its 1995 release due to circumstance more than music. Shannon's story is fascinating -- he's a New Orleans taxi driver who wanted to get out of the business and become a bluesman.

Q (2/96, p.99) - 3 Stars - Good - "...He has B.B. King's vocal affectations down to a T, but his guitar playing is something else: spare, warm, resonantly ... Full Descriptionboxy and at times, as much jazz as blues..."
JazzTimes (3/96, p.85) - "...An accomplished guitarist, distinctive vocalist and clever songwriter, Shannon nimbly shifts gears from down-home blues to N'awlins funk to jazzy minor key blues....Soulful stuff with a sly sense of humor and some pointed observations about life."
Living Blues (9-10/95, pp.73-74) - "...His lyrics are straightforward and witty, at times approaching proletarian realism rather than the surrealist blues poetry we often praise....This disc is both a celebration of perserverance through hard times and an angry indictment of a world where times this hard are the norm for too many people..."
