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.
