The story of 'Memphis Calling'
In January 2023 Emma travelled to Memphis to visit her distribution company 'Select-O-Hits' and meet with company owner Johnny Phillips who was excited to share that the 'Sam Phillips Recording Studios' owned by Sam’s son Jerry Phillips, had recently acquired the original STAX recording console and she should go there and record a new album!
The album features legends of American soul music, such as Don Bryant and the iconic Memphis studio musicians Charles and Leroy Hodges, Steve Potts and Archie 'Hubbie' Turner and produced by award winner Scott Bomar.

Emma is delighted to feature on two excellent new Albums released in 2024

Along with his father Jim, Terry Marshall founded the famous "Marshall Amplification" company, however Terry is also a fantastic Saxophonist. He brought together his favourite musicians and singers for this album. Emma sings one of her Aretha favourites "Dr.Feelgood" and the Robert Cray classic "Phonebooth" which Emma re-arranged for the recording.
"Crossing Borders" by Milwaukee and Friends
Emma sings 2 beautiful songs on this album by German outfit Milwaukee, The 'Tedeschi Trucks' classic "Midnight in Harlem" and "Rio De Janeiro Blue" made famous by Randy Crawford. Emma, as always makes the songs her own and shows a softer jazzier side to her voice which is truly lovely.
