Charlie Wood - Lucky

If you take the B-3 organ sound of Booker T. & The MG's and combine that with the lyrical wit of Mose Allison, you get the soulful, bluesy Charlie Wood. He plays virtually all of the instruments, writes most of the songs, and sings in his own soulful voice, with the delivery of each word counting as much as its meaning. Few artists are as versatile and at the same time, masterful. In Memphis, he is revered by the music community and has been honored both as a keyboardist and as a singer by the Memphis chapter of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (The Grammy Awards). He was also named "Beale Street Entertainer of The Year" in 2003.
