逞しい女性のメンフィス・ミニーは、男性優位のブルース界で、大スターの地位を確立した。幼い頃、ミシシッピ州ウォーズでギター、バンジョーをマスター。13歳のとき、メンフィスに移り、通りで歌った。やがてメディスン・ショウやサーカスに加わり、南部を旅して回るようになる。最初の夫はブルースマンのケイシー・ビル・ウェルドンだった。1929年、カンザス・ジョー・マッコイと再婚し、ギター・デュオのサウンドでレコーディングを開始。やや都会的なスタイルに切り替えていく。1939年に3人めの夫リトル・サン・ジョー(アーネスト・ローラーズ)と組むようになり、「Me and My Chauffer」がヒット。50年代に入ると、メンフィス・ミニーは徐々にすたれる。57年に脳出血で倒れ、引退を余儀なくされた。強烈な声、豪快なギターで聴き手を圧倒した彼女の全録音は250曲以上にも及ぶ。
