Memphis Willcox, who I profiled just over a year ago on the release of his Where are All the Outlaws album, has released a second video from the album. He calls Gospel Days a song about “hope and redemption at a time people need positivity.” Jason O’Brien directed the video and Wilcox was joined in the video by Jerry Hogan (long-distance from Nigeria) and on the recording by Knoxville-area musicians Will Boyd on Saxophone, Caleb Hall on trumpet and Josh Ayers on bass

FADE OUT FRIDAY
The Fadeout: Memphis Willcox Fading us out this morning is a pre-shutdown music video to the song "Where Are All the Outlaws?" from Memphis Wilcox (thanks to Twitter's @FrasierSein for the rec). The song aims a well-placed kick at Pop-Country and — bonus points — at Nashville. But the sickest burn was probably this one: "Justin Timberlake is more country / Than most of these people / On the radio singing." It's funny 'cause it's true...

Memphis Willcox is formed from the back bone of an era long forgotten. The time and place where men were built tough, and the weak were left for dead. He is cut out of the beer drinking, fire breathing dragon of southern rock, the gritty soul of the blues, the sensitive sadness of classic country music, and the kind black heart of Cash. Memphis brings back the sound that drives emotion and the rhythm that stomps the blades of grass to the depths of hell where only the most evil of creatures thrive. His new album "Freedom" touches on the political world of today, the hopes of a music world lost to the greed of a corporate titan, and the struggle of a man's misdirection to want in life. Do not pass on Memphis Willcox. He has something to say.

Memphis' background in Memphis, Tennessee educated him on the core of the "American" sound, which comes out in his music. He is conscious of the music first - it feels right, plays right, and sounds right - before he ever considers what genre or style it fits in. I, personally, think he writes songs that will be around for a long time. Listen to one of his songs and I dare you not to start tapping your feet.
