The overriding WOW(!) factor that jumped out most when the 2012 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival lineup was released was the caliber of both the newer and established female artists in the lineup. This year the Jazz Fest organizers hit the nail on the head with their attention to the amazing array of new [...]
Thursday night will mark a new era on Canal Street when The Joy Theater reopens on December 29th, led by a string of shows and starting with Irma Thomas and Lance Ellis. The following night Cyril Neville's Tribe 13 and Soul Rebels Brass Band will play and Kermit Ruffins and the BBQ Swingers will perform [...]
Charlie Brooker's latest venture 'Black Mirror' continues to examine the darker side of the human psyche; The trilogy concludes this Sunday (18 th December), last Sundays episode focused on a horrific talent contest that will (hopefully) remain in the realms of fiction; The song that plays out the episode is a beautiful slice of New Orleans soul from Irma Thomas . Wonder if there's time for the X Factor winners to re-record it in time for Christmas? Lets hope bastard bloody hope not. 'Black Mirror' is available on 4OD . [...]
Everybody knows that Ringo Starr left Rory Storm and The Hurricanes to replace Pete Best in The Beatles. This month, Ringo's replacement in the Hurricanes passed on at the age of 67. As a bandleader, Keef Hartley later played at Woodstock. He died on November 27. It is not very well known that boxing legend Joe Frazier , my favourite fighter of all time, was also a bit of a soul singer. Some of his stuff cashed in on his boxing background; the song featured here is a straight soul number, and it's pretty good. [...]
Music for music's sake. This is the message behind the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival , one of San Francisco's most anticipated musical events of the year. Funded by 77-year-old investment banker and music fanatic Warren Hellman, the event is free for the public and usually boasts around 750,000 people in attendance. This year was no different. With one of the most decorated and diverse lineups in the festival's history, including performances by Robert Plant and the Band of Joy , Bright Eyes , Broken Social Scene , and DeVotchka , this three-day assemblage [...]
This evening will most likely be the second most crowded on the fall series that is presented by the Second Harvesters Food Bank in downtown New Orleans (Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews plays next week). So get there early. Irma Thomas is still in fine voice after some forty years in the music business. Her show last year was well paced as she started the performance with newer material that was not as familiar as her classics like "Time Is On My Side." But half way through the set [...]
I must confess that I find it hard to mourn the death of Amy Winehouse. Don't think of me as a man possessed of a callous heart. Of course the death of a young, talented woman is a cause for sadness. But Ms Winehouse did not die in a tragic accident, as Otis Redding did, nor did a dread disease claim her, as it did Minnie Riperton. Amy Winehouse was a victim of her own excess; she lived a self-destructive lifestyle which first wounded her talent and then (as it appears) ended her life. My empathy is directed at her [...]
John Popper and the Duskray Troubadours will be performing at the New Orleans Oyster Festival on June 4, 2011 The Deepwater Horizon Offshore Drilling platform exploded and sank into the Gulf of Mexico just a month and a half before the gates opened for last year's inaugural New Orleans Oyster Festival. Although the proceeds from the event benefited those coastal communities affected, the Oyster Festival was not, as many believe, launched in direct response to the unfettered flow of oil that was erupting from the ocean floor. In fact, the BP Oil Disaster was the second [...]
Actors putting out albums - it's an idea that doesn't always bode well. Actually, almost never. Unexpectedly, this trend of thespian trainwrecks doesn't include the (apparently) multitalented actor, musician, and bestselling author, Hugh Laurie. His debut album, Let Them Talk (Warner Bros), proves that Laurie has a soulful set of pipes that handle complex melodies with an unexpected natural ease. Dim the lights and sit back, as Let Them Talk is an evocative fifteen-track tribute to New Orleans blues. If you're familiar with Hugh Laurie's character House on the eponymous series, it's [...]

Hyperbolium
HyperboliumDeep soul debut LP from the Soul Queen of New Orleans Twice divorced and the mother of four by the age of twenty, Irma Thomas brought a lot of living to her career as a preeminent soul vocalist. Initially waxing singles for Ronn, Bandy and Minit, Thomas landed on the Imperial label in 1963. The following year she debuted the deeply emotional original "Wish Someone Would Care," crossing over to the pop Top 20 and gaining further attention with an irresistible performance of the Jackie DeShannon-penned B-side "Break-a-Way." The latter would earn cover versions, [...]

dailybeatzHey there, it's me again. I've decided that instead of using this as a sort of bonus feature, it's going to become the main event. Because, let's be real here, this always features 4 or 5 songs, and that should be more than enough to keep you occupied until tomorrow. Plus, I'm going on vacation next week and need to stockpile posts, so it's a totally selfish move too. But whatever, I'm sure nobody cares, because you're still getting tons of musical goodness from these fingers to your ears every single day, so deal wit it. [...]
