Looking back over the Monday Morning Blues posts I've been doing, I realized the women were getting shortchanged a bit in my selections. Today I'll even up the score a bit and let some of the lovely ladies of the blues serenade you this time around. MP3 : Hound Dog - Big Mama Thornton Buy Big Mama Thornton MP3 : Saffire - I Want My Money Back [...]
Leela James: When You Love Somebody Leela James' 2005 debut LP A Change Is Gonna Come is stellar. Singing well beyond her years Leela lets it all out on this heart ripper. Etta James: Take It To The Limit [...]
well, folks, anyone's guess has returned to the city after an altogether too brief vacation (and a rather lovely wedding in a coastal maine apple orchard ) feeling let's say not eager to travel anywhere more than 30 minutes distance by foot. commercial airplanes were not designed with tall people in mind; and i could use to stretch my legs. it's nice to be home again (hullo, bed), though difficult, as always, to part ways with the old gang for another six month stretch. etta knows what i'm talking about: etta james - i'd rather [...]
More often than not, whenever I spin Man Man's cover of Etta James' "I'd Rather Go Blind," someone, whether in the studio, or a listener via email, invariably inquires one of two things: a) the source of the cover, or b) who the band is covering Etta James. I think this phenomenon, like all [...]
"All I Could Do is Cry" "Hey Henry" by ETTA JAMES: My friend Bill sent me a request via email to see if I could fill in some of the gaps for songs he needed to DJ our friend Laura's wedding in a few weeks. The list included some really cool choices from Bob Dylan, Hank Williams (a hilarious choice, "You're Gonna Change (Or I'm Gonna Leave)"), Willie Nelson, Cat Power and more, and also included "At Last" by Etta James. Now, don't get me wrong: "At Last" is a fantastic song with a goosebump-inducing [...]
So, Tony is on his way this afternoon. Through the power of tenuous song titles we bring you some brilliant satire... yes, brilliant.

It's looking like the wintery mix will be floating around with Chaucer's love birds all day tomorrow. But don't be alarmed because the slow gin fizz of Saint Valentines love will be blowing around too. If you are no longer in the know, Valentines Day is happening before your very eyes. That's right, the one day out of the year when you're supposed to express your love to your lover and get romantic. So, that means that it is now time to pull the sheet off the table and get out your flowers, colored pencils, chocolates, love notes, marshmellows & [...]

Etta James - A Sunday Kind of Love I'm just chilling this afternoon, listening to music, and reading my textbooks. The leisurely elegance of "A Sunday Kind of Love" seemed appropriate. Etta James' voice has a fierce strength, but she can also stun me with an arresting sweetness and gentleness at the same time. It's a voice one can't help but fall in love with. from the album At Last
See, I love all types of music. While I am very much enjoying the early 90's stuff that is a good percentage of the tapes left in the Oxfam bin, there are always lots of other good things. This last week I also picked up some other good early jazz/rocknroll stuff and a great tape from Ivo Papasov Tina Turner - I Can't Belive What You Say 2. Shirley Ellis - The Nitty Gritty 3. The Olympics -
Jon was working during the 7th day of Bluesfest (Thursday) and I couldn't be bothered to swing by - sorry for the gap in our coverage. Download: Etta James - I Just Wanna Make Love To You Elliott Brood - Second Son #2 Buy: Bluesfest Tickets
Wow, it sounds like New Orleans is going to be rockin' this spring! Some really cool things are happening down there... The Tipitina's Foundation is helping musicians come back home to find work. It's one of several organizations helping artists in the aftermath of huricane Katrina. They've helped about 300 musicians with financial aid, replacement instruments and referrals for housing and gigs. Tipitina's bar has been showcasing local bands since the seventies. Nowdays, it has [...]
