Rush digs anew into blues roots
Memphis Commercial Appeal – Jun 22, 2007
Sometimes we’dwork for a sandwich work for what we could get on the door –sometimes it was little or nothing. Sometimes a guy would run off withthe sandwich and the money. But it was for a love of the music. In recent years however Rush has returned to his deep blues roots. He was one of the stars of Martin Scorsese’s “The Blues” documentaryseries which did an excellent job of depicting his life ofnear-constant touring. And though he still performs his chitlin’circuit show most recently seen on the closing night of the Memphis InMay World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest Rush has madeovertures to traditional fans through records like his recentlyreleased Raw an album of acoustic blues. Tickets to Bobby Rush are $25 plus taxes and fees at theFitzgerald’s Gift Shop or with credit card by phone at (888)766-5825.
