The Sounds of Memphis-Beale Street Caravan has Garage rock icon Jack Oblivian, with his uncompromising brand of Memphis rock and roll. From his work as a member of The Oblivians, his prolific stream of solo and side projects, to the many artists and bands that he's influenced, Jack O continues to generate enormous appreciation locally and abroad. Also we salute another lost original, Mississippi Bluesman L.C. Ulmer, who passed away early this year aged 87. He played with a haunting, rather unusual style from the deep delta, and worked all over the U.S. both as a travelling solo musician and a band leader.
