30 Days of Covers: Louis Collins

Feb 7, 2:20pm The Ruckus
30 Days of Covers: Louis Collins 03 "Louis Collins" is a traditional murder ballad that's been making the rounds in music for almost a hundred years now. There are versions by many artists floating around, but here are my two favorites. First, Tin Horn Prayer screeches their way through the song with shouted vocals and stomping, appropriate of the subject matter. Tin Horn Prayer - Louis Collins Josh Ritter 's version is a bit different. He combined the tale of Louis Collins and that of Stackalee into [...]

Mississippi John Hurt- Since I've Laid My Burden Down

Nov 10, 2011, 4:33pm Seamstress for the Band
Mississippi John Hurt- Since I've Laid My Burden Down The other night I cried because I thought I couldn't write again. Could I ever write at all? I feel frail and raw, and maybe even unprofessional admitting this in a space where the presumption is that I am a writer. But then, that's when the writer can no longer write-when she begins to imitate herself, mimics her own style, and begins to wrap herself in the gauze of self-preservation until she is a mummy, stiffly walking toward a fate in which not even words can save her. So, there, I said it. I'm stuck. I've been in [...]

Mississippi John Hurt-Monday Morning Blues

Jul 18, 2011, 5:32pm Jam and a Half
Mississippi John Hurt-Monday Morning Blues There's nothing Hollywood about Mississippi John Hurt. He tells it like it is and talks about what he knows. And you can tell Hurt knows something about the Monday Morning Blues. No matter where you are or where you're headed this fine Monday, I bet you got a case of the blues. The weekend seems like a distant memory, future salvation seems so far away. But be strong, and know that John Hurt's got your back with a story that makes your case of blues seem trivial by comparison. In a year marked more and more by [...]

Your Record Store Day 2011 Shopping List

Apr 14, 2011, 11:06am Frontier Psychiatrist
Your Record Store Day 2011 Shopping List We're coming upon a big day for nerds, collectors and small businessmen alike: the Fifth Annual International Record Store Day. Every third Saturday of April, music fanatics and retro connoisseurs band together to celebrate the dying art of crate digging at their local independent record store. Like fashion week—except it only lasts a day and the patrons are far less attractive—Record Store Day brings in new releases, old re-releases and gems from across all genres. Artists and labels, who are usually also customers, see their exclusive Record Store Day releases as a thank you to independent retailers for [...]

Mississippi John Hurt//The Chicken

Mar 15, 2011, 3:36pm One Sweet Song
Mississippi John Hurt//The Chicken I really cannot tell you what made this song pop into my head recently, but once it got there it was hard to make it leave. Here, Mississippi John Hurt teaches us how to spell "Chicken" and not the state for which he is named, bane of grade school spelling tests from coast to American coast. Hurt, whose real name was John Smith Hurt and who definitely is from Mississippi (in fact, he lived and died in Mississippi), was a sharecropper by occupation, in addition to a blues singer. Despite his obvious brilliance, his [...]

Josiah Wolf & Liz Hodson – "Ain't No Sunshine" josiah wolf & liz hodson - "ain't no sunshine" (download) Last July, I posted a dark & chilling cover of Nirvana 's " Heart-Shaped Box ," done by my friend Liz Hodson .

Sunday Mix Tape Number 213

Feb 21, 2011, 1:47am Swan Fungus
Totally went off last night at Nate's birthday party. There was a gnarly stripper in a LOST replica DHARMA Initiative jumpsuit, way too much Flip Cup, a 4:00am Dance Dance Revolution competition, and the cops only showed up twice investigating noise complaints! I'd say we successfully dragged the birthday boy into the first hours of his 27th year with style. So, I'm gonna get some rest. How's about a mix tape for you. RULES for uninitiated noobs : I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods [...]

Nobody´s Business

Feb 1, 2011, 11:09am For The Sake Of The Song
Nobody´s Business Two variations - out of many - on the same old classic, one blues and one country. Mississippi John Hurt´s version from 1928 is more menacing by far: "Some of these mornings gonna wake up crazy, gonna grab my gun and kill my baby..." Blind country picker and Skillet Licker Riley Puckett´s 1940 take mentions morphine and cocaine driving the singer crazy, but has its funny moments, too: "She runs a weenie stand, way out in no-man´s land, oh boy that´s where my money goes..."

Deadwood…Revisited

Jan 5, 2011, 5:39pm An Aquarium Drunkard
My friend Jeremy lives in Harlem; I live 3,000 miles away. As such we do not see one another all that often; and when we do it's mostly centered around when his band, Roadside Graves, is out West touring or I'm in New York City. But somehow, when we do get together, the conversation, after [...]

Stefan Grossman – The Ragtime Cowboy Jew

Dec 23, 2010, 5:02pm Swan Fungus
Last year I drove into the heart of the San Fernando Valley to cherry pick some records from this guy's collection who was selling stuff on eBay. It was a weird experience, being invited into this person's house to basically sift through hundreds of records for a few I was interested in, while he sat on the couch like a slob watching soap operas. I found some cool things, a second pressing UK copy of In The Court of The Crimson King , some Mark Lanegan records, a few other oddities and fun titles. Then I came across this [...]

6/26: Mississippi John Hurt – Louis Collins (1928)

Jun 26, 2010, 8:00am Merchants Of Rock
Although Hurt had played guitar since he was 9 his sound didn't catch on until he moved to Washington DC in the mid 60's, where his finger picking guitar and loud whisper vocals finally became famous. More recently, Josh Ritter borrowed from this classic country blues song on his newest album when he wrote "Folk Bloodbath."

'Big Leg Blues' MISSISSIPPI JOHN HURT (1928) Folk Blues Guitar Legend

A soft-spoken man, his nature was reflected in the work, which remained a mellow mix of country, blues and old time music to the end
