Memphis Blues is a curveball, but that’s its charm.

Worth hearing.

All Music
In the end, while Memphis Blues does have some fine moments, the uneven ones makes it feel like a squandered opportunity at a popular comeback.
-
Billboard
Everyone knows this girl just wants to have fun, but Cyndi Lauper means business on her new album, "Memphis Blues," a guest-studded trip toward Beale Street.
-
Record Collector Mag
The second star of this rating is awarded purely for Lauper’s innate charm but, in truth, this is not an especially good record.
-
Express
What really makes the album fly is her quirky, scratchy voice, full of character and emotion.
-
The AU Review
I feel that this album is weak and has no real depth or power that any Lauper fan would expect.
-
Journal Star
From the trill of Charlie Musselwhite's harmonica that opens "Just Your Fool" to the gritty duet with guitarist Jonny Lang on "Crossroads" that ends the record, "Memphis Blues" hits its target with style and class.

Seattle Times
Cyndi Lauper proves she knows how to have fun with the blues.
-
Music MP3
The tendency continues two years later on her new record Memphis Blues opening an absolutely new side of Cyndi Lauper’s talent.
