Ringo Records is proud to present DELTA TECHNO, the labelâs debut of blues woman SANDY CARROLL and her first collaboration with her Grammy Award winning husband and producer JIM GAINES. When the multi-talented pair decided to make this record, the plan was to do something different. Instead, they are introducing audiences to a truly original new musical style '" Delta Techno. Imagine if Sade went to Al Greenâs church with Bonnie Raitt, then the two headed over to Raifords near Beale Street that night to hang out with Little Feat. Those who âget itâ will love it, and those who donât will love it too.

Songwriter and piano player Sandy Carroll has had tunes covered by legends (Luther Allison, Albert King, Jim Dickinson) '" and Jim Gaines has worked with a few himself (Santana, John Lee Hooker, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert Collins). Together they are lethal. The press is sure to welcome not only the marriage of musical genius, but Jimâs first ever songwriting and musician credits (drums, bass).

Sandy started playing professionally at age 15 and continued working steadily in clubs during her undergraduate and graduate collegiate years. Turning full-time professional, she was on the road for four years where, she says, she earned âher doctorate in street music.â

In 1984, she recorded and released:âIf You Got Itâ and âMemphis in Mayâ produced by Jim Dickinson. She left Memphis for San Francisco to write and record for three years and then moved to Missouri to write music for an animated movie for kids, all the
while performing at regional clubs, state fairs and festivals. She also released a single âYou Are Not Forgottenâ to call attention to missing POWâs.

In 1989 Albert King recorded âIf You Got Itâ and in 1990 Sandy
returned to Memphis where she released her first CD âSouthern Woman.â With this recording Sandy was invited to tour the United Kingdom both as a solo performer and with an English band for over a month. One interesting gig was writing âMad Dog Boogieâ, a football theme song used for the Memphis Mad Dog team.

During 1997, the great Luther Allison recorded âJust As I Amâ and âItâs A Blues Thingâ on his last album, Reckless, which was nominated for a Grammy. Also during 1997, Sandy recorded and released âMemphis Rain.â

Starting the new millenium, Sandy again appeared at concerts, clubs and festivals. Artists recording her songs included Don McMinn, Anna Popovich (from Yugoslovia), Ellis Hooks, Barbara Blue and Reba Russell.

She released âJust As I Amâ - on a compilation CD entitled âGoinâ Down South.â She also duets on a McCarty-Hite CD & contributed piano to other just released records by Memphis arists.

Sandy enjoys doing both solo and band gigs. âThe intimacy of a solo show is a quiet nurturing and the groove of a band is the rockinâ feast. The studio is where the ingredients mix together...â
