Back to the Roots: A Look at Joanne Shaw Taylor's Breakthrough Moment in
2009 "I have played with all sorts of blues musicians all over the world, I even
made a flm 'Deep Blues' where I went to Mississippi and recorded some
legendary players such as R.L Burnside and Jesse - Mae Hemphill
Last year I heard something I thought I would never hear....a British White Girl playing
blues guitar so deep and passionately it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand
on end!" (Dave Stewart/Eurythmics)
When blues legend Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) spoke these words, music history was
in the making - but that was more than 15 years ago. Stewart's enthusiasm was no
coincidence: at just 16 years old, Joanne was already turning heads with her unique
blend of technique, soul, and maturity - prompting him to invite her to join his project
D.U.P.
With White Sugar, released in 2009 and recorded in Memphis under the guidance of
legendary producer Jim Gaines, the young Brit laid the foundation for what would
become a remarkable career. The ten tracks - full of heart, blues tradition, and her
unmistakable style - were far more than a promise: they were a statement. Today -
many years, albums, and international tours later - this debut milestone feels more
powerful than ever. All the more reason to rediscover White Sugar on Vinyl for the frst
time, with fresh ears and the knowledge that this is where the goosebumps began.
