King Nathan

Dec 7, 2010, 4:28pm Boogie Woogie Flu
King Nathan by Jesse Jarnow "The record business is not a freak business. It is the same as being in the coffin business, or a funeral parlor..." - Syd Nathan At an industry dinner, Goddard Lieberson--the president of Columbia Records for nearly 20 years--once introduced an associate as "that rare combination, a practically unknown combination, I would say--a charming, cultured witty man, an astute businessmen... and a gentile ." Lieberson was clearly not referring to Syd Nathan, founder and "Chief" of King Records. [...]

Les Indispensables Blues - 1ère Partie

May 21, 2010, 6:34pm Le Choix de Mlle Eddie
Les Indispensables Blues - 1ère Partie 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 [...]

Jet Black Blues

Apr 17, 2010, 5:20am Groover's Paradise
Jet Black Blues Lonnie Johnson - Jet Black Blues ( buy ) That dumb cloud of Icelandic volcanic ash hanging over northern Europe is keeping a certain someone away from me at the moment. Gives me a bad case of the blues. So here´s the mighty Lonnie Johnson, who recorded this gem back in 1929 under the name of Blind Willie Dunn's Gin Bottle Four. Featuring King Oliver on cornet, and a melancholic Hoagy Carmichael singing scat near the end.

party like it's...

Dec 30, 2009, 5:26pm snuhthing/anything
party like it's... Yep, that's what I'm going to try and do this New Year's Eve - pretend its 1999 again with a future still looking bright, I say we just skip over the last ten years. By now, as it closes, most wags have weighed in on how this has been the worst decade ever. I'd started it fully enmeshed in what was then the brave glorious new world of the Internet. I loved working with customers because I was selling the biggest dream going - the World Wide Web, a places of riches unknown awaiting. All major cities were going to [...]

If The Rain Comes...

Oct 19, 2009, 4:19pm For The Sake Of The Song
If The Rain Comes... Winter´s coming... and me no like. After more than five months of sunshine, wearing shorts and flipflops at all times, it´s kinda hard to adjust. Today was the first day I had to put on my trusted leather jacket, while inside the heater had to be turned on again. Last Saturday, it proved still possible to enjoy lunch outside, in shirtsleeves while sporting sunglasses, but now the weather has definitely turned. Living in a mediterranean climate, it would be hard to maintain that it´s colder than a witch´s tit, or even a well digger´s ass out there, but it sure [...]

TWITSTOCK! | Day One

Aug 24, 2009, 6:45am The Vinyl District
If the Woodstock generation can be exemplified by one humongous, sprawling multi-day event, the Twitter generation in contrast bathes not in mud (or bud)—but in brevity. Twittering's a succinct, uniquely solo endeavor, promulgated in office cubicles, Blackberries, and personal laptops. But a spirit of community does indeed exist among the pixelated 140 character bursts of info from a myriad of locations. It's tuned in, turned on, and dropping recommendations for this or that track, LP, or band. Its users point the way toward other Twitterers and other blogs via '#FollowFridays' and '#MusicMondays' — and community's born, [...]

Lonnie Johnson x Eddie Lang

Jazz Guitar 'Blue Room' LONNIE JOHNSON and EDDIE LANG (1929) Blues Guitar Legend
I think, at this point, I like Eddie Lang a bit more than Django. Sacrilege, I know. Lang, though, occasionally performed under different names and worked with Lonnie Johnson on and off again. That last guy might be as talented as the two older folks - he sang too. Bonus.

The Men Behind The Bluesmen: Lester Melrose

May 5, 2009, 3:01am SqueezeMyLemon
The Men Behind The Bluesmen: Lester Melrose Lester Melrose was born on December 14, 1891 and he passed away on April 12, 1968. He was one of the first producers of blues records. According to Wikipedia; ...a freelance A & R man, combining the roles of talent scout and record producer. He started to promote many blues artists who became popular, recording them mainly in Chicago. His first big success was "It's Tight Like That" with Tampa Red and soon-to-be gospel music legend Thomas A. Dorsey, then still known as Georgia Tom. He worked for several record companies simultaneously in the 1930s, [...]

A week of folk songs (4) : Careless Love

Mar 11, 2009, 5:26am River's Invitation
A week of folk songs (4) : Careless Love This one's a traditional tune, whose origin is not very clear. Is it from Britain, Ireland, or is it an American creation ? Nobody knows for sure. It was first published by WC Handy as "Loveless Love", and it is more common in blues and jazz than in country music. My favourite version is by New Orleans guitar player Lonnie Johnson. I love his almost introspective singing. Lonnie Johnson – Careless Love ( buy ) (New York, nov 1928) There's also a great country version by The Delmore Brothers, one of [...]

Every now and then you find a clip on YouTube that is just so delightful. This is an example, I call this clip the "SqueezeMyLemon All Stars." I would have loved being at this show. But it just so happens that this was filmed in 1963, I was two years old at the time. Can you imagine seeing Otis Spann, Sonny Boy Williamson II, Big Joe Williams, Willie Dixon, Victoria Spivey, Muddy Waters, Lonnie Johnson and Memphis Slim all on the same stage.

Lonnie Johnson-"Winnie the Wailer"

Sep 3, 2008, 3:28am The Passion of the Weiss
Lonnie Johnson-"Winnie the Wailer" Since my sickness sent me scrambling towards sad Southern Blues, I've been mildly obsessed. My latest discovery has been peripatetic bluesman and alleged Robert Johnson inspiration, Lonnie Johnson . Specifically, his "Winnie the Wailer" a 1932 cut heavily reminiscent of Cab Calloway's famous "Minnie the Moocher." Despite the obvious similarity, it remains a wonderful song, one that's thankfully cleaned my ears out after the mercury poisoning that is listening to a Young Jeezy record.

Elvis' Record Collection

Jan 8, 2007, 6:04pm Boogie Woogie Flu
Elvis' Record Collection Photo © Alfred Wertheimer It's well documented that Elvis was a degenerate, and more than likely that he was a record collector too. So, in commemoration of his 72nd birthday, I'll kick off this flagship posting of the boogie woogie flu with some chestnuts that the King recorded and brought to a larger audience. Hopefully, his records were in better condition than mine. Check out Pete "Guitar" Lewis on "Hound Dog". There are two versions of "Tomorrow Night" here. Elvis recorded a beautiful version based on Lonnie Johnson's signature number that never saw the [...]
