Without rehearsal, Alex called songs and the band locked in. The pure joy of playing this music so freely with such legendary musicians comes across in every groove of the record.” — David Less, from his liner notes). Meer info: ‘When Fred Ford, co-founder of the Beale Street Music Festival, was diagnosed with cancer, David Less organized a fund raiser to help with his medical bills. Less contacted Memphis legend Alex Chilton (The Box Tops, Big Star), who was living in New Orleans, to ask him to participate. Alex said he didn’t have any musicians to play with in Memphis, so Less suggested the Hi Rhythm Section (the band behind classics from artists including Ann Peebles, Ike & Tina Turner, O. V. Wright, Otis Clay, and Al Green). Alex replied, “That will work.”
