I am so pleased to release this video today, it's a great song about a great city. What's more, is that some really beautiful, talented people helped me make it.
ERic you are the man. Absolutely love this song and your entire CD (Not completely sure about that Midtown song, lol). Will have to come catch up and listen to you guys again soon. Best to you, the band, and your lovely bride.
I saw this song performed live the other day at Central BBQ in Memphis. I was just passing through the area and it was the perfect rest stop. Awesome tune!
James Suits, how nice to hear from you; thanks, man. I’m glad you stopped by; you’re always welcome here 👍, just as the song says! Thanks again for the shout!
Love Memphis, TN ...Thank You for all that You have given me.... The Gifts, The Exposure to world-class Businesses, Great Music and all who exposed me to the Great Training... You still Rock... and I am shaking trees for a better community for all people! "But, You knew that I would!" Thank You!
hey! What's up, E.H. ?!? Its cool to know you, man. Thanks for the shout! Subscribe to the channel to stay informed of upcoming releases and videos. Thanks, man!
I've heard this song from it's inception and think you've got this thing all wrapped up tight and right. Looking forward to the release party at The Warehouse!
Hey, Danny! Thanks, man- it's cool to hear from you. I appreciate that! I'm glad you like the music- and thank you for listening/watching. Cheers, man!
First time on Beale was in 87. Not quite as busy. Been there 5 times since. (I’m also a harp player/singer) Got to see Eric about a year ago but didn’t have the chance to meet him. Maybe next time. My friend Dr. Malcom at the Memphis music store speaks highly of you. You sound great and I love this clip. 🌴😎🌈Aloha (now subscribed)
HEY, James! Cool to hear from you! Thanks for the comment, and especially for being at our show! PLEASE holler at me next time, because I'd be honored to meet you! Do you have any footage or audio of your playing? I'd love to hear...
The band and I are getting ready to release a NEW ALBUM of ten original tunes! April 25, 2020 release date for "Postcard From Beale Street" more information/ordering at www.EricHughesBand.com

Eric, just heard you for the first time and you all played this song.. at first thought was a cover of jimmy buffet, but no - this is one fantastic song! Id love to cover this with our band. What key are you okaying this in?
ok i see is in A and finding several versions of your song. Minnesota Mike talks about this song and says is 12 bar blues progression, but I can't quite get it to work out like he says based on the official video. Any advice would be awesome, this a great song and deserves to be heard. Thanks!!
You’ve been away- for oh, so long The city calls you like a distant song. It’s high time you took off a day or two I know you miss sweet tea and barbeque Have you forgotten how it feels To party down on Beale? Meet Me In Memphis You ought to make the trip Meet Me In Memphis we’ll stick our toes in the Mississip’ Meet Me In Memphis where the Blues are still hip Meet Me In Memphis, Meet Me In Memphis to feel the cool of the early morn, To hum a tune in the land where Soul was born The fish are biting, under the bridge We got pig in the smoker, and cold beer in the fridge It’s paradise, it’s true… But what’s missing here is you Meet Me In Memphis You ought to make the trip Meet Me In Memphis we’ll stick our toes in the Mississip’ Meet Me In Memphis where the Blues are still hip Meet Me In Memphis, Meet Me In Memphis Standing by the riverside, watching the sunset- If there’s a better town I ain’t been there yet. No matter where you roam, no matter where you’re from When you’re in Memphis, it always seems like home. Meet Me In Memphis You ought to make the trip Meet Me In Memphis we’ll stick our toes in the Mississip’ Meet Me In Memphis where the Blues are still hip Meet Me In Memphis, Meet Me In Memphis If you hear me breathe a heavy sigh, If you see a teardrop forming in my eye It’s just the Blues have got me down, it’s just because I sure do miss that town…. if we leave here right away We can make it there today! Meet Me In Memphis You ought to make the trip Meet Me In Memphis we’ll stick our toes in the Mississip’ Meet Me In Memphis where the Blues are still hip Meet Me In Memphis, Meet Me In Memphis

Lyrics... I need lyrics so I can sing a long
Did you get the CD I mailed you?
You’ve been away- for oh, so long
The city calls you like a distant song.
It’s high time you took off a day or two
I know you miss sweet tea and barbeque
Have you forgotten how it feels
To party down on Beale?
Meet Me In Memphis You ought to make the trip
Meet Me In Memphis we’ll stick our toes in the Mississip’
Meet Me In Memphis where the Blues are still hip
Meet Me In Memphis,
Meet Me In Memphis
to feel the cool of the early morn,
To hum a tune in the land where Soul was born
The fish are biting, under the bridge
We got pig in the smoker, and cold beer in the fridge
It’s paradise, it’s true…
But what’s missing here is you
Meet Me In Memphis You ought to make the trip
Meet Me In Memphis we’ll stick our toes in the Mississip’
Meet Me In Memphis where the Blues are still hip
Meet Me In Memphis,
Meet Me In Memphis
Standing by the riverside, watching the sunset-
If there’s a better town I ain’t been there yet.
No matter where you roam, no matter where you’re from
When you’re in Memphis, it always seems like home.
Meet Me In Memphis You ought to make the trip
Meet Me In Memphis we’ll stick our toes in the Mississip’
Meet Me In Memphis where the Blues are still hip
Meet Me In Memphis,
Meet Me In Memphis
If you hear me breathe a heavy sigh,
If you see a teardrop forming in my eye
It’s just the Blues have got me down,
it’s just because I sure do miss that town….
if we leave here right away
We can make it there today!
Meet Me In Memphis You ought to make the trip
Meet Me In Memphis we’ll stick our toes in the Mississip’
Meet Me In Memphis where the Blues are still hip
Meet Me In Memphis,
Meet Me In Memphis
