„Memphis Light“ je Golubanov 11. studijski album koji je nastavak prethodnika „Chicago Rambler“ s kojim je ostvario do sad najzapaženiji inozemni uspjeh postigavši odlične pozicije na specijalizirnim top ljestvicama diljem svijeta, a proglašen je 5-tim najboljim albumom Chicago bluesa i 86-tim najboljim blues albumom 2019. godine (Roots Music Report).
Od 10 pjesama na albumu „Memphis Light“, Goluban autorski potpisuje njih 9. Kao što je istaknuto i u naslovu, Goluban je ovaj put otputovao na jug te u Memphisu u Ardent studiju s američkim glazbenicima u nekoliko dana snimio ovaj materijal.
Nogometnim rječnikom, ako svaki od dosadašnjih 11 Golubanovih albuma ima svoju poziciju, sasvim je svejedno koju ima “Memphis Light”, jer on je kapetan momčadi. Golubanovo hrabro izlaženje iz dosadašnjih okvira rezultirali su odličnom glazbenim materijalom, koji su pohvalili i američki glazbeni kritičari:
Tomislav Goluban shines a huge “Memphis Light” over the blues community with this powerful and well-crafted set!
You feel and believe everything happening in the song because you trust Goluban.
He’s all about playing the perfect part for every section of every song with an almost Zen-like commitment.
There are very few blues artists like Goluban and he’s doing something new that lots of blues fans are going to want to check out.
He’s a solid workmanlike performer who plays a great harp and has a pleasant deep voice.
A wild set that’s way more than a diversion or a novelty, it’s the real deal.
Memphis Light’ has lots of gentle, subtle moments, but, at the same time, it’s high energy. Goluban is able to wire his tracks with electricity, but the amplification doesn’t muddy the beautiful details of each track. He’s interesting… And delicious. There are very few blues artists like Goluban and he’s doing something new that lots of blues fans are going to want to check out.
Harp musician Tomislav Goluban presents his 11th album entitled ”Memphis Light” with an expected January, 10, 2020 release date. His 11th studio album, a sequel of sorts to his previous album ”Chicago Rambler” which made significant impact outside Croatia. „Chicago Rambler“ reached top positions on various radio charts in the USA, Australia, France and the UK.
