The many record labels that came out of Memphis, Tennessee have mostly been well documented over the years. There has been one glaring omission and that is the Home Of The Blues record label that existed from 1960 through to 1962. In that short time the company issued approximately forty singles. The label grew out of Ruben Cherry's Home Of The Blues record store on Beale Street. Most of the recordings were made at Royal Studios and Willie Mitchell joined HOTB as house musician and producer. He recorded three singles for the label under his own name. Big Names who recorded for HOTB included Roy Brown and the '5' Royales, both after their lengthy stints at King Records, and Larry Birdsong.
