The blues have a long tradition in Memphis, Tennessee. In great part due to musical legends like Howlin‘ Wolf and B.B. King. Ernest Lane was born exactly 72 miles away, in Clarkesdale, Mississippi. And he is also one of the last, original blues veterans, a singer and pianist, who has already played for icons like Ike Turner, Canned Heat and The Monkeys.

After his Acoustic Music debut, "The Blues Is Back!", Lane is now presenting his new work, "72 Miles From Memphis." Once again, he demonstrates his incomparably grooving, powerful blues piano style, with a naturalness and emotion that one can only have come from growing up in the southern States. And those who have heard his sonorous voice know that this man lives the blues. "72 Miles From Memphis reveals once again why Ernest Lane enjoys a top reputation in the scene.

Personnel: Ernest Lane (piano, vocals); Seth Blumberg (guitar); Armando Cepeda (bass); Billy Ray (drums); Paul Smith (Hammond B3 organ); Mack Johnson (trumpet); Pauli Cerra, Leo Dombecki (tenor saxophone); Ryan Montana (alto saxophone).

(Note: Ernest Lane passed away on July 8, 2012.)

With “The Blues Is Back”, fans of piano blues have the opportunity to get to know a very special musician who enjoys the highest acclaim in the scene. Ernest Lane is one of the last surviving veterans of the original Mississippi blues, an artist who easily compares with the likes of Otis Spann and Little Johnny Jones. The remarkable story of his musical career does a great deal to elucidate the man we hear on this album: His father was a barrelhouse pianist, Pinetop Perkins was a friend of the family, he went to school with Ike Turner, his first performances were in Robert Nighthawk’s band. In the early 1960s he was a sideman for Ike & Tina Turner, he played back-up for the Monkees, took part in recordings by Canned Heat (1969, 1971, 1972) and can now be heard on the latest CDs of Ike Turner and Eddie C. Campbell. In 2004 Lane has released a CD under his own name and reveals himself to be both traditional and timeless in the best sense of these words. He is compelling as a pianist with powerful play; as a singer he is rough and ready. No doubt, the blues is back indeed!
