Cathy Lemons writes lyrics and melodies that are as haunting as they are autobiographically revealing. She covers a wide range of blues styles-everything from the Chicago classics of Juniot Wells to turn of the century raw blues of Memphis Minnie to the more sophisticated sounds of Lowell Fusion, Jimmy Mccracklin or Earl King.
