I'm gonna ride that train 'till the wheels don't roll no more

May 6, 2010, 7:07am Groover's Paradise
I'm gonna ride that train 'till the wheels don't roll no more Brownie McGhee - Crying At The Station ( buy ) This album, the first in the American Folk Blues Festival series, is in my father's collection. He probably bought it in the sixties. It's an old favorite of mine. The festival was essential for bringing the blues to European audiences. In the first year, 1962, it featured John Lee Hooker, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Willie Dixon (who had served as a talent scout for the German producers of the festival), T-Bone Walker or Memphis Slim. In the audience [...]

It's Good For A Man That Weighs 103

Jan 27, 2009, 12:31pm Hello Vegetables
It's Good For A Man That Weighs 103 I had a fella come over to the house yesterday to do a little work, and I figured I may as well make a good impression and play some good music. I had never met this guy before, but I can pretty much guarantee that if you've got someone coming over and you put some Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee on, at some point your visitor will turn to you and say with great sincerity, "Nice music." So thanks to Sonny & Terry, I got to engage in a conversation about the music our fathers had turned us [...]

Work: John Henry

Sep 4, 2008, 3:09am Star Maker Machine
Work: John Henry In the 1880s, large numbers of newly freed slaves were hired to help build the railroads. In this period, the legend of John Henry was born. One of the most important jobs at that time was cutting blasting holes into the sides of mountains; explosives were than placed in these holes to make tunnels. These blasting holes were originally cut by hand by men like John Henry, who wielded large hammers to accomplish the task. In time, technological advances brought the steam drill, and threatened these men's jobs. The legend and the song tell of how John Henry [...]

Sonny Boy Williamson: AFBF Careless Love
Apologies for the lack of a post yesterday -- I spent most of the afternoon gobbled up in my office assembling two different shelving units that resulted in a cut thumb, ring finger and forearm as well as a frustration-fuelled kicked chair, one sturdy shelving unit and one that, well, as long as we keep it leaning against another load-bearing unit, should be fine. Plus I thought Natalie Merchant deserved a bit more consideration still. Anyway, as a bit of personal pennance, I'm actually expanding this month's Friday Five to six and it's actually the most [...]

When the train comes along

Jul 10, 2007, 11:21pm Old Blue Bus
When the train comes along Photo courtesty of CCPhotos CPD (Creative Commons, Attribution 2.5) Wednesday. The middle of the workweek. Last weekend seems a distant memory and the coming weekend a far off goal. There are over twenty six miles of railroad tracks at the industrial wasteland where I spend my workdays. I often watch as long lines of freight cars are assembled into trains bound for places far away. Trains can stir a nostalgic yearning for the freedom of the open country. The great hobo era of the Depression and Dust Bowl holds a certain [...]
