Don McGregor is a South Memphis/North Mississippi son of the South. He has been playing music all his life. Never overly interested or involved in mainstream music, he has always searched out the obscure, the un-commercial, the un-championed jewels of real, unadulterated music often found on the back sides of albums, on old 78’s, or written by friends and underground heroes. He has been writing original songs since 1970 and, as all good songs must be, they are distilled from life experiences.
Don was involved in many Memphis underground bands during the early 70’s such as Crawdad, Horse Shoe, Briarpatch, and Crawpatch, as well as later bands such as The Rhythm Hounds and Ripple. Currently recording as well as playing shows with The Bluff City Backsliders (1920’s and 30’s jump jive), Lost Dog, and the reunited Crawpatch (country/bluegrass/Grateful Dead), he continues to write, record, and perform his solo act.
The 10 tracks on this CD were culled from warm-up shows that Don performed at concerts featuring the legendary Jim Dickinson, during two separate M.A.M.A. (Memphis Acoustic Music Association) concerts held at Otherlands Coffee Bar in Memphis, TN.

“Don McGregor songs from the heart with the voice of an old soul. Probably known best for his satire, it’s the sad-lonesome sweet stuff I like. Don can gently reach out and touch a bar full of easily bored Midtowners and make them think about their Mamas. Part Willie Nelson, part Jerry Garcia, fellow purveyor of Bob Frank songs, Don also builds a hell of a fine deck.”
