HRMarkStuartCover

MADJACK Records is proud to announce the release of Mark Edgar Stuart’s debut release, “Blues For Lou.” Available now!

 

Born in southern Arkansas, Mark Edgar Stuart moved to Memphis over twenty years ago to expand his musical education and has been an immutable presence on the city’s music scene ever since. For most of his career, Stuart was the consummate sideman playing bass with Alvin Youngblood Hart, Cory Branan, John Paul Keith, Jack Oblivian, The Pawtuckets, Secret Service, and Vending Machine among others. In recent years, after successfully battling through an extensive illness and also enduring the loss of his cherished father, Mark began writing. The result is the twelve song recording “Blues for Lou”. If you think you might enjoy hearing the Grim Reaper smacked down with infectious honesty and humor, then this is the record for you. Stuart conjures a combination of precious memories and fire-forged understanding allowing him to bring to the listener a truly unique sonic experience…all with a wry smile and a humble heart. The Eternal Footman never stood a chance.

And on ITunes 

MADJACK Records is proud to announce the release of Delta Joe Sander’s “Working Without a Net.” Recorded at Sun Studios in Memphis, this twelve song set springs from a mind as fertile as the alluvial soils of the southern Mississippi valley. The songs then migrate northward to the “Windswept Plains of Memphis” where nothing is still-born; where foiled side trips to Branson, Missouri and Oxford, Mississippi can only be rescued by dreams of a Sedona sunrise. But it is clear that the women, the strong Memphis women, the ones with the dark hair and Choctaw cheekbones, and wearing “That Dress”, hold sway over this bluesman’s heart.

Raised on a plantation in Desoto County Mississippi, Delta Joe Sanders has been a regular on the Memphis music scene for the past thirty years. From the church house to the outhouse, the Whisky A-Go-Go on the Sunset Strip to the Sugar Ditch Social Club in Tunica County, he plays every venue. A consummate storyteller, Joe sometimes uses common blues themes to spin his yarns. Songs of lost love, liquor, and bad behavior fill his repertoire. Some are romantic odes colored with southern imagery…often with a skewed nostalgic bent, not unlike Faulkner and Estelle.

A regular on the Keith Sykes song writer showcase, Delta Joe has performed along side Nashville notables Marshall Chapman, Richard Leigh, Roger Cook, Buzz Cason, Gary Nicholson, Ralph Murphy, and Alex Harvey to name a few. Legendary Bluff City Blues singer Reba Russell has cut many of Delta Joe’s songs.
