With A Feeling

Jul 7, 2009, 2:19pm For The Sake Of The Song

And in the evening, when the sun´s gone down and it´s cooled off a bit, I love to play me some of that old blues. There´s nothing better than sitting on your porch late at night, drink in hand and stars overhead, listening to the masters from the Delta or the windy city. So here´s another tenpack, filled to the brim with blues treasures I´ve been digging recently. First one who writes in to tell me which famous band stole That´s No Way To Get Along gets the For The Sake Of The Song Crossroads award... [...]

mes livres de 2008

Jan 4, 2009, 2:21am River's Invitation

Au départ, j'avais sous-titré ce blog "Musique et livres", et puis, faute de temps, et aussi parce que ma passion musicale emportait tout, j'ai délaissé les livres. Cependant, je ne résiste pas, cette fois, à vous faire une petite liste de ce que j'ai lu de bon cette année, on ne sait jamais, ça en intéressera certains : D'abord, et haut la main , La Route , de Cormac McCathy (photo) : un des meilleurs livres que j'ai jamais lus. Un chef d'oeuvre de sobriété, d'étrangeté, une véritable expérience. Un homme et [...]

tommy johnson slidin' delta 1929 (française version) Au fond, sur les étagères de ma discothèque, se trouve une case remplie par une quinzaine de 78 tours. Tous me viennent de ma grand-mère. Certains, l'immense majorité, sont rayés ou trop usés pour les écouter mais il m'est impossible de m'en défaire. Il n'y a pas, parmi eux, de Tommy Johnson. Plutôt de l'opéra ou Reda Caire.
