There is no doubt that Cyndi Lauper can sing almost anything and make it not only compelling, but her own (and she has, many times, whether her albums sold or not). Arguing her gift as a vocalist is pointless. Thanks to her appearance on the television program Celebrity Apprentice, her public profile is once more part of mainstream pop culture. On Memphis Blues, she gets help from some big names: Charlie Musselwhite, Allen Toussaint, B.B. King, Ann Peebles, and Jonny Lang. The set begins with a barroom classic in Little Walter Jacobs' "Just Your Fool" with Musselwhite's muscular harmonica juxtaposed against her vocal. Louis Jordan's "Early in the Morning," with King and Toussaint, is the best cut here. The interplay between the latter's rumbling New Orleans R&B piano and the former's sparse but mean lead guitar works well with Lauper's vocal, especially with the tune's humorous lyrics; it really jumps. "Romance in the Dark," one of three cuts by Lauper and her band, without any cameos, works wonderfully. Its slow, nocturnal, languidly sexy feel underscores her strengths as a singer in both phrasing and timbre. The uptempo, soul-drenched "Don't Cry No More" works equally well, thanks to her having to get atop a rollicking Stax-style horn section and testify. There is real beauty in "Mother Earth," with Toussaint playing his most sympathetic, in-the-cut blues piano as a horn section matches Lauper's off-kilter phrasing and then winds it into the blues. Memphis Blues has some truly fine moments.
