Top Ten Bluesmen of All Time

The Blues, the beginning of Rock and Rock as we now know it. It's a musical genre, a feeling, a philosophy, and for some, a way of life. The Blues can lift you up one day only to describe an awful feeling inside the next. From 'Blues Power' to 'Folsom Prison Blues' the music is a powerful medium through which many men and women have articulated the highs and lows of life on earth. Below are my top ten Blues musicians of all time ranging from the originator Robert Johnson to the modern day shredder Jack White. 1. [...]

Record Store Day: Interview with Futur Primitif

Record Store Day: Interview with Futur Primitif "Bukka White, Son House, Robert Johnson...for a town with two street lights, it was pretty amazing that you could find those records." Daniel Lefkowitz and Jared Elmore 's space-folk project Futur Primitif tour Europe at the end of the Summer including a stop-off at The G-Man's favourite little festival End of the Road . No stranger to the delightful Dorset setting (Lefkowitz is a former member of Low Anthem who have played the festival more times than [...]

Who Is Willie Brown?

Who Is Willie Brown? Wading into the history of the Delta Blues can get as murky as wading into the Mississippi itself.  Case in point being someone like Willie Brown. On paper Willie Brown would not be considered an important Delta Blues musician. His entire recording career consisted of only 6 songs recorded for Paramount Records in 1930.  Of these, only two songs have ever been found. He may have recorded as or with an artist named Kid Bailey. He probably recorded the song “ Make Me a Pallet on the Floor ” for blues historian Alan Lomax in 1941. However, one can never [...]

Black Manila’s psych drink is called ‘Fiasco’

Black Manila’s psych drink is called ‘Fiasco’ SINGLE REVIEW: We like our jangle garage psyche and this track by Black Manila called "Fiasco" is right in the sweet spot of all groovy things 602s. Naming their top 5 influential bands as The Velvet Underground, Captain Beefheart, T-Rex, The Stooges and John Lee Hooker. These are some pretty big corner stones that Liam Ramsden, Conrad Armstrong and Gareth Hoskins aka Sun King are taking on but would also say something a little New Wave is ingrained too. This new track by them is less drone than the VU with more of a sculptured song as there [...]

Something Else! Interview: Iconoclastic bluesman Otis Taylor

Otis Taylor - 505 Train
A musical alchemist and stirring modern-day storyteller, Otis Taylor is just as apt to experiment well beyond the Delta tradition as he is to explore the raw passions of this nation's fight for racial justice. This isn't your grandfather's blues. Witness the forthcoming Contraband, due February 13 from Telarc/Concord, this haunting mixture of ominous guitar and banjo work (yes, banjo), [...]

Preacher Preacher

Preacher Preacher "Oh, I'm gonna get me a religion, I'm gonna join the baptist church... I'm gonna be a baptist preacher, and I sure won't have to work..." The great Son House was a religious man. He even became a preacher for a spell, rejecting the blues as the devil's music. But he had a healthy sense of humor, too. Son House - Preachin' The Blues Pt. I MP3

Friday Top 5: Dehydration Blues

It’s no secret to native Texans, but to all you recent immigrants to the Lone Star State may have noticed lately, it’s F-ING RELENTLESSLY HOT OUTSIDE! With Temperatures hovering above 100 and no relief in sight, it’s hard to stay pleasant. Heat waves and droughts like this one are so damned oppressive, and may make you just feel flat-out angry and depressed at the world, your fellow man, and especially those teasing bastard clouds, hanging there just laughing at us and our collective misery. F those assholes, seriously its thundering as I write this with no rain to show for [...]
