YOU KNOW I LIKE THAT  Blind Mississippi Morris' and The Pocket Rockets-Our first recording contract with Memphis' own Johnny Phillips.  Make no mistake, Tony Adams, Dan Cochran and Brad Webb share writing duties on this 15 track CD.  Everything from Back Porch to in your face rocking blues.

BAD TO WORSE  Blind Mississippi Morris and The Pocket Rockets-Blind Misssissippi Morris delivers a sizzling platter of raw, urban blues with his band, The Pocket Rockets.   Guitarist Brad Webb offers not only plenty of bottle neck but unbottled production, especially on the title track-a grove that rocks harder than a fault tremor.         Bill Ellis of The Commercial Appeal

BACK PORCH BLUES Blind Mississippi Morris and Brad Webb-Morris and I sometimes played as a duo or trio and people were always asking if we had a CD of this act, because it really sounded so true to the roots.  I had 3 fingers broken on my left hand when we cut this.

COUNTRY DAYS Blind Mississippi Morris & Brad Webb-We tried to do a mixture between band and roots here.  Morris was trying to quit drinking, which he did.  Hound Dog could have been cut in the late 50's but was written by Brad Webb and Eddie Juke.  Rosie Mae is Morris on guitar and vocals, and you must have a sense of humor to listen to this old folklore story song.

MY INSPIRATION Willie Foster-This is a CD about a real bluesman's music Willie James Foster.  From the handwritten name on the old van door to no legs still playing them blues, even on the very night he died.  He never made too much money or did the killer big money gigs.  He was more the blues collar or working man's bluesman.

LONG TIME COMIN' Fred Sanders-Fred's guitar and vocals have a timeless quality.  His style is both slick and playful, while remaining unduplicated.  As a self taught musician, he sees the blues neither as a matter of practice, nor of image: "It's within you,  It's what you think.  It's your experiences,  It's what's on your mind."  Though Fred says this and communicates it through his songs, he modestly admits, "A true blues player is a gift from God."

LEGENDS OF THE BLUES 2000 Willie Foster, Fred Sanders, Henry Townsend, Blind Mississippi Morris-This is a live recording of a get together in St. Louis, where they played 12 hours of non-stop blues, from raw acousticdelta, to modern urban blues.  Later in the evening for the 1st time ever they joined together in a history making jam session that would have gone on till the morning hours, hadn't it been for the police making an unexpected visit and shutting it down!
