Alvin Youngblood Hart : Here I Am, Oh Lord, Send Me [ purchase ] Mississippi John Hurt was one of those bluesmen of the pre-war years, (1920s in this case), who disappeared from the music scene, and was then rediscovered during the folk music revival of the late 50s and early 60s. Many of these musicians tell of how, as children, they developed a love of blues music over the objections of their parents. The parents in these tellings believed that blues was the Devil's music, and they would beat their [...]
While the oppressive heat that takes hold of New Orleans during the summer months has yet to show any signs of retreat, Fall is indeed on the way. One need look no further than the return of autumn's younger but nearly identical sibling to YLC's "Wednesdays At The Square", the free Harvest The Music concert series, which kicks off an eight-week run at Layfayette Square on September 14. "Big" Sam Williams and His Funky Nation play the opening ceremonies, and a cast of some of New Orleans' best usual suspects will be trotted out over the following two [...]

A highlight at the 31st BMAs comes to DVD... DVD - Arts - Movies - Home Video - United States
Skip James was born near Bentonia, Mississippi. His father was a converted bootlegger turned preacher. As a youth, James heard local musicians such as Henry Stuckey and brothers Charlie and Jesse Sims and began playing the organ in his teens. He worked on road construction and levee-building crews in his native Mississippi in the early 1920s, and wrote what is perhaps his earliest song, "Illinois Blues", about his experiences as a laborer.

I know one thing, if blues was money, I'd be rich. Wait, a minute, I am rich, rich in the blues that is. Notes from YouTube: Alvin Youngblood Hart (solo) If Blues Was Money Live at JM Randalls Williamsburg, Virginia circa 2003 Alvin Youngblood Hart @Amazon.com
Our third day of the Pickathon Indie Roots Festival appropriately started at the Woods Stage with Deep Dark Woods . After a week of listening to this year's Winter Hours , it was exciting to see how Deep Dark Woods would sound live. Lead singer and guitarist Ryan Boldt harkens back to Neil Young's early recordings as he glides through a sad and beautiful album of wandering men and unfaithful women. The set opened up with a sentimental male perspective on "Journey Home." Following a long [...]
When measured against the summer festival juggernauts (i.e., Bonnaroo, Lollapolooza, Outside Lands, Austin City Limits), Pickathon may appear unassuming in comparison. But, as William Shakespeare once said: "Though she be but little, she is fierce" (ol' Bill said that, right?). For Pickathon, roots music rules all, and the festival planners have picked some truly excellent acts to represent the time-honored genre. More festival details, lineup, and a whole bunch of MP3s after the jump. The 2009 Pickathon Festival is set to take place July 31st - August 2nd at [...]
Alvin Youngblood Hart : Dancing With Tears In My Eyes [ purchase ] I love Alvin Youngblood Hart because he's a great guitar player, singer songwriter, and of course, because like me, he's a old-time blues lover and a fan of the great Leadbelly. "Dancing with tears in my eyes",is not a cover of the new wave hit by Ultravox, but a much more ancient Tin Pan Alley song in 3/4 time, that Alvin took from Lead who, in turn had learnt it in the [...]
While doing some research on a Rolling Stone's song I came across the mp3 album Songs Of The Rolling Stones: All Blues'd Up! . I'm not sure how this album slipped under my radar, but I missed it back when it was released in July 9th, 2002. And I would like to present it to you today, because I love how it highlights the blues music of the Rolling Stones and because their songs are performed by some great blues musicians. Songs of the Rolling Stones: [...]
A very important album indeed. Definitely one of the best for me. Not a compilation, rather a session recorded in Hollywood in 1944 by a fame-hungry Leadbelly who was very far away from home. Home was New York City, where he had settled down in the thirties, after his first recordings. Huddie Ledebetter was from east Louisiana, in the Caddo Parrish. He first recorded when he was well in his forties. The man is famous for his legendary story (I wish I could write a novel about him). He was discovered while [...]
