Oh, hello. I didn't see you come in. Well, let me roll back up my cock, put some clothes on, and then we can communicate like two adult humans. There, that's better. Oh, what's that? You're watching Girls? Well, I'll come back later. Here's a mix tape for you when you tire of that garbage. [...]
Jimbo Mathus's latest work, Confederate Buddha, was easily one of the most overlooked roots albums of 2011. Don't worry, we sort of slept through it too, but that just means you can make up for ... Continue reading "The Roots Of Jimbo Mathus: From Charley Patton To Charlie Parker" >
A Jack White Q&A from this month's MOJO hit the White Swirl recently, in which the Third Man Records founder revealed some intriguing 2012 releases for the Nashville label. Most surprisingly, perhaps, is confirmation for the rumor that White has recorded a new Blue Series single with knighted Welsh crooner Tom Jones: a cover of Howlin' Wolf's "Evil (Is Going On)" and Frankie Lane's "Jezebel." What's more, a number of pre-1945 blues pioneers that influenced White — a few of whom were covered on the White Stripes' earliest recordings — will get [...]
@ Facebook // OnLine // Label // AMAZN mp3 - vinyl // iTunes I've been listening to the new Rev. Peyton album Peyton On Patton. Mostly a solo affair, Peyton pays true tribute to his hero, and the true King of Delta blues, Peyton's hero, Charlie Patton. I could go on but, honestly, the [...]

Ce billet est la première partie d'une sorte de rétrospective du blues au travers de ses principaux protagonistes. J'étais partie pour ne faire qu'une playlist de 21 "indispensables", mais finalement j'ai décidé de prendre mon temps. Deux ou trois autres billets suivront celui-ci et j'espère ainsi vous montrer à quel point cette musique est passionnante. Je ne vais pas vous raconter toute l'histoire, sachez seulement que la musique blues est née à la fin du 19ème siècle dans le sud des Etats-Unis par la population afro-américaine. Les fameux "spirituals", les chants africains, les chants de travail sont les [...]
Good times tonight watching KT play softball and then eating at Canter's for the first time (not including matzoh ball soup take-out). It was good! That's about all I have to say about today. Part of it was good. I haven't posted one of these in a while, so here are the best Google search results of the day which have directed Internet users to Swan Fungus during the last hour: 10. Sinbad re-married his ex-wife 09. Reasons to go for it and date 08. Coolness burger king sex 07. I realize what is my [...]
Robert Palmer considera-o como o músico mais importante que a América já produziu no século XX. Charlie Patton, mais conhecido cpor Charley Patton, foi uma das primeiras grandes estrelas do Delta Blues. Patton, nasceu em Hinds County, Mississipi, perto de Edwards, a 1 de Maio de 1891, mas viveu grande parte de sua vida em Sunflower County, no Delta do Mississipi. Várias fontes dizem que nasceu em 1891, mas ainda há dúvidas sobre isso. Em 1900, entretanto, sua família viajou 160km para norte para a lendária Dockery Plantation, uma fazenda perto de Ruleville, Mississipi. Foi lá que John Lee Hooker [...]
I have a friend Craig who works in Waterstones and is an obsessive about old American folk music and, more specifically, blues. He has been making Neil Meursault mix CDs for ages, which I've heard and consistently found myself asking what the hell I was listening to. I usually hate the tedious collections of old blues music which seem to always adorn Uncut covers when they ask bands to name their formative influences, but some of the really scratchy old recordings Craig put on his CDs were amazing, so erm... this is the podcast I guess. [...]
the story goes: mary hart (the titular midnight mary) way back in the day in conneticut, collapses, passes out, and on presumption of being deceased, is buried by her husband. mary's sister has a nightmare about her being buried alive. queue her freaking out, the body gets exhumed and there lies mary, her hands torn [...]
RULES for uninitiated noobs : With roughly 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I'll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) and see what sticks. This week I am using songs from Ilya's CD collection. He's sick right now, so I'm sitting only kind-of next to him, and drinking a stiff Emergen-C cocktail. It tastes like ass but hopefully I won't get [...]
Spoonful is one of the all-time great American songs. Written by the legendary Willie Dixon and originally recorded by the even more legendary Howlin' Wolf , "Spoonful" is about wanting to get just a little bit of a good thing. Here's the classic original version: Howlin' Wolf - Spoonful ( buy album ) Here's the earlier blues song from Charley Patton that inspired Dixon's Spoonful : Charley Patton - A Spoonful Blues ( buy album ) [...]
Bob Dylan : High Water [ purchase ] Live in Niagara Falls on August 23, 2003, this one´s from Tell Tale Signs , the brand new installment in the Bootleg Series . Bob really is on fire here, and so is his touring band. Definitely an improvement on the studio version from "Love And Theft" , which wasn´t too shabby to begin with. [...]
D o you enjoy the blues? I enjoy the blues. A lot of hipster douches come into the store and act like "Oh, the blues are in now, I should get hip and start listening to the blues," but they are easy to spot, because they only seem to ask about John Lee Hooker, and most of those questions are whether or not he sometimes went by the name Earl. Or, they just pick up a re-issue of King Of The Delta Blues Singers and call it a day. There's no interest in exploring what is beneath the [...]
Here's more with Amanda Petrusich, author of It Still Moves: Lost Songs, Lost Highways, and the Search for the Next American Music . Matthew: So you went all over the country, you visited all these major hotspots. Was that something that was totally necessary for you? To have some first-hand experience? Amanda: I thought this book made the most sense as a travelogue. On a really selfish level, I wanted an excuse to drive around listening to old records and eating barbecue sandwiches -- that always seemed [...]
