Blues Quote - Sleepy John Estes

I went up stairs to pack my leaving trunk I ain't seen no whiskey, but the blues made me sloppy drunk ~ Sleepy John Estes

Blues Quote - Sleepy John Estes

Today is the birthday of John Adam Estes more commonly known as Sleepy John Estes. He was born on 25th January in 1899, and passed away on 5th June 1977. Now look here mama you ask me to be your kid, She said you can, only if you keep it hid, Please don't let my husband or main man catch you here. I woke up with the blues three different ways One say go and other two say stay ~ Sleepy John Estes Sleepy [...]

Stagger Lee Saturdays - Stack O' Dollars

Stagger Lee Saturdays - Stack O'  Dollars Here's the post on Stack A Dollar I promised several weeks ago . Since I have three versions of this song, all recorded within five years of each other, I decided to go all out and put 'em all up. Before I start, I need to note that, despite a similarity in title, this song is almost entirely lyrically unrelated to the story of "Stag" Lee Shelton and Billy Delions. (You'll note a "rumbling underground," which occurs in a lot of versions of "Stag" when Stag is in hell, turning Billy upside down, but that's about it.) [...]

Taj Mahal - Leaving Trunk

Taj Mahal - Leaving Trunk I really like Taj Mahal's cover version of Sleepy John Estes' song Milk Cow Blues which appears on Taj Mahal's, 1968 eponymous album, Taj Mahal, titled Leaving Trunk . The video clip below, I believe, is from the The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus . It is very cool because it also features Jesse Ed Davis, Ry Cooder et al kicking ass and taking names. WAKE UP MAMA, I GOT SOMETHIN TO TELL YOU YOU KNOW I'M A MAN WHO LOVE TO SING THE BLUES [...]

Indie And Radio: A Match Made In Misery

Indie And Radio: A Match Made In Misery You probably don't remember this post from March 6th, 2007, because it didn't really contain anything important. There was a link a story about how the independent music community received good news in the form of an FCC agreement regarding payola scandals. In the agreement, CBS Radio, Clear Channel, Entercom and Citadel were forced to pay 12.5 million dollars in a cash settlement and provide 8,400 half-hou segments of free airtime to independent labels and local artists. Great success, right? Wrong. The Future Of Music Coalition ( FMC website ) examined four years of airplay from [...]

Sunday Mix Tape - Number 140

Sunday Mix Tape - Number 140 Oh man, last night was filled with good times. Nicci had a "wrap party" for a student film she acted in, and then it was our friend Thesy's birthday. I absolutely love parties at Thesy's mansion in the hills because it inspires me to try to meet as many people as possible. I put on superficial smiles and get really drunk and chat up as many people as possible. I especially love all the weird looking fuckers that show up. Also, I like annoying the douchey "Hollywood types" that tend to congregate in really small groups and look around at [...]

Top Chef Returns Tomorrow

Top Chef Returns Tomorrow A new season of Top Chef begins tomorrow evening, exactly five months after the last one ended. Remember when I live-blogged the finale, drunk ? Remember how I accidentally clicked on Wikipedia and saw who won five minutes before the episode started? Me too. Ordinarily I would make it my business to be at home in front of the television for a momentous occasion like the new season premiere, but I'm pretty sure that shooting pool at a networking event takes precedence. I mean, I need a better job - one with a salary - way more [...]

New Release Sleepy John Estes – On 80 Highway

New Release Sleepy John Estes – On 80 Highway Click Image for On 80 Highway @ Amazon.com Drop Down Mama - "Sleepy" John Estes. Man I love Sleepy John Estes, his voice, his playing, everything about him just says good blues music. On 80 Highway reatures Sleepy John on vocals and guitar and Hammie Nixon singing and playing harmonica and kazoo. This has got me wanting to get a kazoo. Reports on this album say that "this session from July 19, 1974 was recorded just before Sleepy John and Hammie Nixon departed for [...]

SUNDAY MIX TAPE - VOLUME 102

I've realized, over the last twelve months, that Saturdays and Sundays are pretty much useless as far as content is concerned, because my readership drops over 100 visitors per day on the weekends. That's what Saturdays are (and always will be unless something amazing happens following Friday's post) world news stories, and Sundays are (for now) going to remain Sunday Mix Tape day. If you want to curate a Mix Tape, all you have to do is put one together, archive the files (.zip or .rar) and use MediaFire to upload it to the Internet. Send me a link to [...]

Clockwork Orange Grab Bag

Clockwork Orange Grab Bag Greetings music lovers... With the European Championships in Switzerland and Austria getting closer and closer, football fever is slowly but surely taking over at For The Sake Of The Song HQ. We´re quite busy joining pools, debating favorite teams, rating players and ironing old team jerseys. It´s gonna be a great event whoever wins, but I for one hope the Dutch team will perform like a clockwork orange for once. But hey, Holland is in a ´group of death´ with Italy, France and Romania, so it´s going to be real tough... While the pressure builds, let´s hear it for some [...]
