It features legendary collaborations with artists such as Bettye LaVette, Sam Moore, Delbert McClinton, Dwight Yoakam, Eddie Floyd, Little Anthony, Randy Houser, Sammy Hagar, Tanya Tucker, Wynonna, and Zach Williams. In addition to its chart success, the 14-song collection has garnered over one million on-demand streams.
"It was an amazing feeling to see 'From Memphis to Muscle Shoals' debut at #1 on the iTunes Blues Album Chart," says Brown. "Receiving the #1 plaque at the Grand Ole Opry makes this achievement even more unforgettable. This is the first time in my career I've had an album reach the top of the charts, and I couldn't be more grateful."
The celebration included several special guests including iconic songwriter Dan Penn joining T. Graham Brown onstage at the Grand Ole Opry for his song, "The Dark End Of The Street."
