My natural snobbish instinct was to agree with Son House's rant in Festival! . And I still do think that he's right. It's not the BLUSE. Upbeat, with rhythm and energy... Call it jump blues if you want, but for so many days, it's what keeps me going. [ FYI - that's Little Walter on the cover ] [...]

Mable John - Who Wouldn't Love A Man Like That

Mable John at The Jazz Cafe in November 2009
An American blues vocalist who was the first female to be signed by Berry Gordy to Motown's Tamla label.

Wild Weekend Vol. 22

Wild Weekend Vol. 22 Back right at the end of another Wild Weekend , after a week-long hiatus caused both by a short trip abroad and some quite irritating computer problems. My router had re-programmed itself all on its own for some reason, and it took a while to get it to function again. But finally, here´s edition # 22, and once more the shuffle function of my iPod decided what goodies you´re going to enjoy. I know it's all been done before, and it's all been written in the book, but let´s carry on regardless, before the waters of oblivion come rushing [...]

If you gonna love somebody

Dear friends, Skip the spoken intro and get right into it. The opening piano, the step up to the mic and the line "I used to cry like a baby." Cue background singers going "Crah-ah-ah-yyyyy." The singer spends the rest of the number assuring us, her lover, that she's all grown up. We've treated her shamefully and that's caused her to grow up. Perversely, she argues that this means she's ready

The Queen of Memphis Soul

I celebrated my birthday this past weekend. The highlight was at a barbecue when I was asked - nay, urged - to recount the plot of the film Soylent Green (1973) to several bystanders who were unfamiliar with it. Believe me, people, I live for moments like that. I got some great books and CDs, including some referred to in this post about the new Stax Profiles series . In fact, I got the three I mentioned: Otis Redding , Carla Thomas and [...]
