ABOUT US
|
Memphis International Records was founded in 2001 by music industry veterans David Less and Bob Merlis. The label partners’ philosophy then, as it is now after five years of operation, was to record and release “music we like.” Taking that novel idea in this age of multinational music conglomerates a step further, they adopted a slogan for the company that reflected their approach: “Putting the music back into the music business.” With an emphasis on roots and blues, Memphis International, and its subsidiary, Brooklyn International, has released sixteen full-length albums. These range from the soundtrack to an award winning film and a Grammy ® nominated blues album. The catalog includes an archival collection of proto-rockabilly, an album recorded in a state prison and an album of western swing music. Memphis International is the home of A Capella and Cajun music, the Queen of Memphis Soul, a Swiss blues singer, a Swedish pop star, a brilliant male soul vocalist much more. A fund raising album for victims of Hurricane Katrina is also one of the company’s releases. In short, Memphis International is small but eclectic, compact but encompassing. Thanks for stopping by and we hope you like what you see and hear. 2240 Union Avenue #39, Memphis, Tennessee 38104
