Memphis Slim At the Gate of Horn: Bluesville Series

Memphis Slim's At the Gate of Horn Reissued for the Bluesville Series on 180g LP: (AAA) Lacquers Cut from the Original Master Tapes by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab and Pressed at QRP

At the Gate of Horn was originally released in 1959 on Vee-Jay Records. It expertly showcases the songwriting prowess of the prolific blues pianist and singer, from blues ballads to upbeat numbers. Among the diverse track list is “Steppin’ Out” which gained reverence among blues rockers and remains one of Slim’s best-known tracks. Featuring the original liner notes written by Studs Terkel, this newly remastered album has been pressed on 180- gram vinyl at QRP and is housed in a replica tip-on jacket.

Craft Recordings is releasing At the Gate of Horn as part of the Bluesville Series. Bluesville is a brand-new hub for all things blues, including vinyl reissues, curated playlists, and more! Inspired by the original label imprint established under Prestige Records in 1959, the Bluesville Series will highlight the many trailblazing musicians who contributed to the rich tradition of the blues, including titles from legendary artists on labels such as Vee-Jay, Riverside, Vanguard, Stax, and Rounder Records.
