Strother was born on July 23rd, 1946 in Vicksburg, Mississippi. Now resident of Minneapolis he recorded three albums and made most recently his 8th european tour in only 6 years time. At the Topos club in Leverkusen / Germany he was supported by a very good dutch band around guitarist Jan Mittendorp, who had done recordings with Percy, too. Live Strother is a charismatic singer with a huge deep 'soul' voice. But he does hard Chicago blues in the Muddy / Wolf style, too. His guitar work is execellent. He has a cutting sound but still routed in traditional blues playing. Surpringsly he occassionaly blows the harp with a nice sound. To find more about this great musician check out his personal website: www.visi.com/~ psl/home.html and for his latest dates in Europe: www.crossroads.nl

As he is a great musician he is a fine person, too. He signed my R.J. Mischo CD on wich he appeared as a guest. When he saw the CD he started laughing and someone of the band added 'Percy, ain't that the record you made so much money of ?'. I bought his latest CD 'It's My Time' which is a great temporary soul/blues record. On the all original songs you can he hear his moving voice surrounded by horns and organ - Memphis soul/blues at it's best.
