+"ככל שהמציאות הישראלית נעשית פחות קסומה, כך היא נעשית יותר "קסומה". יש צימרים "קסומים", מכוני ספא "קסומים", פרופילים בלגיים "קסומים". "קסום" זה כמו "מפנק", רק בדרגה רוחנית גבוהה יותר. יש כמובן גם אלבומים "קסומים", והרבה, אבל יש מעט מאוד אלבומים קסומים" - בן שלו עושה שימוש מוצדק במרכאות אנשים שצריכים לבדוק מייל כי הם זכו [...],
Today is Smithsonian Folkways day. I haven't had one for a while, and I was feeling guilty. Both of today's songs are from a great album called Classic Sounds of New Orleans . You don't have to buy the whole album; you can just download a song if you've a mind to. I find rooting around in the Smithsonian Folkways site always nets me a surprise. Give it a try!
Originally released in 1959 and re-released in 2009

His vocal style was reminiscent of Ray Charles; indeed, in the 1950s, when he was in his late teens, he would sometimes bill himself as "Little Ray Charles". Generally regarded as a New Orleans R&B artist, he played a wide range of music: blues, rock and roll, jazz, country, and Latin. In his early years, he also played some straight-ahead acoustic blues.
STRIKING OUT ON HIS OWN The independent record business in New Orleans was always volatile and precarious. Starting with the first wave in the mid-1950s, numerous local labels formed and folded, with most lasting just a few years, if that. The opportunity to score a big hit was always there to tempt entrepreneurs; but the odds against it were steep - like a shot at winning the lottery or picking a winning horse out at the Fairgrounds racetrack - unless, of course, Allen Toussaint was writing and producing the [...]
I first heard this singer on a compilation album from Smithsonian-Folkways. It prompted me to buy an entire album of his music. This song comes from New Orleans Street Singer first released in 1959 on Folkways. Again, Smithsonian has come to the rescue and made the album available on CD.

That brief clip isn't necessarily representative of what goes on over at Tapestry of the Times , but there's a bit of Snooks Eaglin . And there aren't too many things better than hearing that man play guitar. Shouts to Shane Carpenter for the video.

I've been burning up what few brain cells I have left trying to remember the first time I saw Fird 'Snooks' Eaglin, Jr. perform live. This lack of specifics has much more to do with my age (and maybe what I was drinking back then) than with the impact of his performance, I'm sure. Fortunately for me, I got to see him play often in New Orleans. So, his always entertaining, go-for-it gigs have all blurred into one big stream of consciousness memorial funfest, making it hard to sift out that one show that [...]
Lifelong New Orleans resident and Ickmusic buddy Cove reflects on the passing of a New Orleans great. - Pete New Orleans lost another of the great legends of its musical heritage this past week, when Ford "Snooks" Eaglin died at 72. Snooks was the great assimilator, taking in others' songs and then spinning them back out in ways that were uniquely his. The musicians he played with were always amazed by his repertoire, which led them to call him "The [...]

R&B singer and guitarist Snooks Eaglin, a local legend who counted platinum-selling rockers among his fans, died Wednesday. He was 72. Eaglin, known for picking strings with his thumb nail - played and recorded with a host of New Orleans giants, including Professor Longhair, the Wild Magnolias and pianist Allan Toussaint. Musicians, including Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Robert Plant and Bonnie Raitt, would seek Eaglin out to watch him perform, Blancher said. But New Orleans musicians knew him best. Toussaint was 13 when he formed a band with Eaglin called the Flamingos. [...]

Mark Lanegan und Greg Dulli aka The Gutter Twins erweckten gestern im Mascotte mit einer magischen Coverversion den "St. James Infirmary Blues" zum Leben. Obwohl er inzwischen über 100 Jahre alt ist, ist dieser Song nicht totzukriegen. (more...)
Snooks Eaglin was born in 1936 and raised in New Orleans. When he was a year and a half, surgery for a brain tumor left him blind. Eaglin's father, a harmonica player, gave him a guitar at the age of five, and young Snooks taught himself to play by replicating songs off the radio and phonograph. Eaglin's first regular gig was with the Flamingoes in 1952, a seven-piece horn combo started by 13-year-old Allen Toussaint on piano. Snooks recorded for Folkways in 1958 then for Imperial. He still lives in New Orleans and still plays a great guitar. [...]
James Gandolfini in the Bacchus parade So me lady and I went to see the Dirty Dozen Brass Band on Sunday night. Amazing performance! Treat yourself the next time these guys make it to your town. A highlight for me was a version of the gospel standard "I'll Fly Away" which morphed into the tail end of - get this - "Purple Rain!" I tell you, the purple guy follows me everywhere. They picked it up at the part where they sing "ooooooh-ohhhh"(you know, where Prince has everyone wave their arms from side to [...]
