This is so cool I really hope all the blues harmonica players out there watch this video. Adam Gussow gives a very interesting lecture on the importance of Sonny Boy Williamson to the modern blues scene. Notes from YouTube Sonny Boy Williamson? Many people--even those who aren't harmonica players or fans of the blues--have heard of him. But there were TWO great harmonica players named Sonny Boy Williamson, and many people don't know much about the first one: John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson, native of Jackson, Tennessee. At the invitation of Sonny Boy [...]
Paul Rodgers and guests rock out the blues in this 1994 performance.
Stop it. Stop it. Just fucking stop it. Don't panic, this is emphatically NOT about pedophilia. Before you get your knickers in a twist have a quick look at the tracklisting, and in particular the band names, and hopefully you will see why the podcast has the name it does. So what am I really on about? Well, I happened across a band recently called Young Girls, and it finally became clear that after Bear Crystal Wolf Fuck Ghost bands, the new fashion is quite clearly paedo bands. Band whose names, whilst not exactly dodgy in themselves, lead [...]

Robert Johnson tapped out a Delta blues sound on harmonica and acoustic parlour guitar. The sound caught on and made its way north up the Mississippi until it reached urban Chicago. There, musicians were plugging in and turning on. Rural electrification in the South was not yet complete but, in urban Chicago, the city was alive with light day and night. With electricity came microphones for harmonicas and vocals and electric guitars, bass, pianos and organs. Thus, when the Delta Blues met electricity in Chicago a sub-genre of blues was created - Chicago Electric Blues. [...]

In the history of the blues, it's been important to have a good blues name. There are numerous approaches. One is to have a descriptor tacked on in front of an ordinary name. For instance, who wants to hear a singer named Joe Hunter? Mundane, right? But Ivory Joe Hunter, now that's a whole other ballgame. Naturally Ivory Joe Hunter has to be a piano player because he tickles the ivories. Here's Ivory Joe Hunter with one of his most popular tunes, Since I met you Baby. Another approach is to have [...]
I have always thought that blues music reflects what is going on in the US well. Right now unemployment is high, this is not the first time that this has happened in this country. And blues musicians have documented it and offered over the years some hope and escape from the frustration of not having a job. The Y! Raddish Blog put together a play list of blues songs about Unemployment. I thought it would be cool to see how many of the videos I could find at YouTube, plus some [...]

In 1947 , Alan Lomax sat down with three blues musicians and asked them about the blues. The blues, they decided in a recorded discussion, came from trouble. Trouble came from oppression. And oppression, it need hardly be said, came from white people. It's been said better by other people, but Stagger Lee, no matter the spelling, is a story about oppression. Stag is a black antihero who fights back against a crooked game, and in most versions cannot escape retribution. In this version of the song, Stag drags Billy down the [...]
