Every track on Blues Train by The Memphis All-Stars is
reminiscent of the great Motown groups like the Isley
Brothers and Four Tops with an extra spicy ingredient:
that kicking soulful character that emanated from their
home town’s own Stax Records during the same era.
This music will simmer in your blood, overflow into your
mind, body, and soul, and make you smile from the
inside out!
Greg Reding (keyboards, guitar, and vocals) was a

Arkansas. He then worked with Stephen Stills before
returning to Memphis where he formed The Memphis
All-Stars in 1983.

such greats as Denise LaSalle, Tyrone Davis, Rufus
Thomas, Yolanda Adams, Al Green, and others.
