Memphis Gold returns with another fresh set of originals, blending the traditional influences from his Memphis background (including the Rev. Robert Wilkins and the Fieldstones) with contemporary blues and soul. Joining him are a host of musicians from the Washington, D.C. blues scene, including Jay Summerour on harmonica, Clarence 'Bluesman' Turner on bass, Pete Ragusa on drums, and Robert Lighthouse on slide guitar. Memphis Gold, whose real name is Chester Chandler, was a tree trimmer by day and blues guitarist by night, but suffered severe injuries in a fall from a tree in 2008. He never lost his positive attitude, however, and has not only continued to perform but has generated new publicity and support from Gibson Guitars and Living Blues Magazine, among others. He has graced the cover of European blues journals and appears on the cover of Living Blues (issue #199) in the U.S. /Amazon

On "Pickin In High Cotton", Memphis reflects back on his early boyhood memory of blues artists playing good ole' fashioned, traditional blues music. He has played with such artists as Big Lucky carter, Jessie Mae Hemphill, Evelyn Young, David Evans, Uncle Ben, Leroy Martin, R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough , Earl "The Pearl" Banks and many other Memphis and Mississippi artists of the time. Chandler's Memphis roots also run deep to Reverend Robert "Tim" Wilkins and his father John R. Chandler and years of playing in the legendary Memphis deep blues bands like the Fieldstones and the J.J. Blues Band. Today Chandler resides in Arlington, Virginia and is recovering nicely.
