Now entering his fifth decade in music, the GRAMMY® nominated, CMA Award winner and one of the newest members of the Grand Ole Opry, T. Graham Brown has recorded 15 studio albums and charted over 20 singles on the Billboard charts – with multiple #1 hits in country, gospel, and blues. In 2019, Brown became part of the SiriusXM family as host of LIVE WIRE with T. Graham Brown, airing monthly on Prime Country Channel 58.
His newest studio, ‘From Memphis to Muscle Shoals,’ is set to drop August 2nd and is packed with legendary collaborations, including Bettye LaVette, Sam Moore, Delbert McClinton, Dwight Yoakam, Eddie Floyd, Little Anthony, Randy Houser, Sammy Hagar, Tanya Tucker, Wynonna, and Zach Williams.
“I had the idea to do a soul tribute album for probably the last twenty years,” shares Brown. “When the opportunity came up, we jumped on it. We went down to Muscle Shoals, the heartbeat of soul music. Billy Lawson (co-producer) and I cut fourteen tracks and I started asking friends to sing on it with me. We made ten duets in total. This album was a lot of fun. We cut it to be authentic to the mid- 60s. We used the same instrumentation, the horn sections, and we even used some of the instruments and equipment that were used on the original tracks at the historic Fame Studios. I think this is the ‘truest’ album possible.”
The first single off the new album, “The Dark End of the Street,” features Country Music Hall of Famer and GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Tanya Tucker.
“’The Dark End Of The Street’ is one of the greatest cheating songs ever written,” continues Brown. “I wanted Tanya Tucker on it because we are old friends and we have done duets before. She’s sultry, and I knew this was the perfect song for us to do together…she said yes….and she did an awesome job on it.”
Brown actively tours throughout the year and recently received the prestigious invitation from Vince Gill to join the esteemed Grand Ole Opry, marking a milestone in his legendary journey. Brown’s uniqueness has made him one of the day’s most beloved and iconic performers.
