Asylum Street Spankers - Mah Na Mah Na
After 3 straight gigantasaurus uber-posts, my brain needs to be coaxed back into regular activity. Therefore, I'm keeping this one short and sweet. I will warn you, though. This sucker is an earworm. You may find yourself humming it all day if you're not careful. And if you let your kids hear it ... fuggedaboutit. Here's the acoustic hipster version, courtesy of Austin's own Asylum Street Spankers . Lots of cool references in this one, how many can you name? Speaking [...]

The Bo Diddley Legacy - Part 2 of 2

Jun 15, 2008, 10:36pm The Adios Lounge
BO DIDDLEY- IN HIS PRIME! BEST VIDEO! AMAZING!
Apologies for not posting this sooner. My two-year-old daughter went into daycare two weeks ago and apparently the first lesson they teach the youngins is how to turn into a human petri dish. Ye gods. From Sunday evening through Friday morning I had trouble forming coherent sentences. Damn punk kids, stay outta my immune system! Anyway, in Part 1 I discussed the origins of Bo Diddley, placing him on the sanctified church > R&B > rock 'n' roll continuum. For Part 2, I want to focus on his influence, but in [...]

The Bo Diddley Legacy - Part 1 of 2

Jun 7, 2008, 2:34pm The Adios Lounge
The Bo Diddley Legacy - Part 1 of 2 "I've always been a lover of African-sounding drums. I play the guitar as if it was a drum." --Bo Diddley A musician doesn't beat a drum, he plays a drum. He coaxes multiple rhythms from that drum, in an effort to tell his story and to support others contributing to that story. Therefore, to appreciate the profound impact of Bo Diddley , you have to digest the full implications of that quote. It doesn't simply explain his distinctive, percussive sound, it helps explain the critical difference between rhythm and blues and [...]

Doug Sahm Redux ... RIP Bo Diddley

Jun 2, 2008, 6:26pm The Adios Lounge
Doug Sahm Redux ... RIP Bo Diddley A few updates since Saturday's Texas Rock post: First of all, big thanks are in order for longtime friend of The Adios Lounge, Bob Schafer. Bob was kind enough to scan and send me the back cover photos from Texas Rock For Country Rollers , which you'll find below. Pic #1 is the band sitting on an old car and I've captionized the photo with names-to-faces. Very helpful for all you budding Dougheads. Pic #2 is Doug standing next to the Soap Creek Saloon's Wurlitzer jukebox, which was actually taken by iconic Austin [...]

One night I might be playing twin fiddles at the Broken Spoke and the next night I'll be down at Antone's playing blues. In that way Texas is a paradise, because all that music is here." --Doug Sahm, 1975 Today's post is a follow-up to my post of May 2 , where I took a walk down memory lane with Doug Sahm's classic tune, "Give Back The Key To My [...]

With that being said, please indulge me while I post three songs about soldiers who survived combat, only to come back to the States and find themselves still fighting.

While R&Ring, I also spent some time with an actual 2008 release. Which got me to thinking. In an effort to bring The Adios Lounge even further into the 21st Century ... with its ipods [...]

Ray - Anytime
After yesterday's post about black singers in country music , I decided to get away from the computer and chill with some more Ray Charles . I went to the stack o' vinyl, took out the LP, What'd I Say (pictured left), and hunkered down with the back cover liner notes. I was only to the third paragraph when I reached this fantastic quote from Ray: "Before anybody criticizes any kind of music, they ought to listen to it more. For example, I think a lot of the hillbilly music is wonderful. [...]

But hey, why should I stumble and sob my way through the story when Senor Dylan can tell you all about it . For it was he who married Isis on the fifth day of May. [...]

Give Back The Key To My Heart Texas Rock For Country Rollers was the first Doug Sahm album I ever bought. 1992 at Melody Records in Chico, CA. Found an old vinyl cut-out that looked like it might've been used to chamois a '74 Pinto. That was the bad news. The good news is that the record itself was in fine condition. Now, I wish I could sit here in my banana hammock and Angels cap and say it was love at first listen, but that wasn't the case. I certainly didn't dislike it, but I think I [...]

Levon Helm - Only Halfway Home

Levon Helm - "Only Halfway Home"
Got turned onto this the other day. It's a short film inspired by and featuring music from Levon Helm 's 2007 album, Dirt Farmer . The music is uniformly excellent ... big surprise there ... but the film itself is a poignant snapshot of life in one desperate corner of rural America. In that sense, I'd say it's kin to Ray McKinnon's 2001 short, The Accountant . Check that one out if you haven't already done so. And if you don't already have Dirt Farmer, whatcha waiting for? It's the sound of real, salt of [...]

See That My Grave Is Kept Clean

Apr 29, 2008, 3:25am The Adios Lounge
See That My Grave Is Kept Clean Does the singer catch the song or does the song catch the singer? Blind Lemon Jefferson , writer of "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean," hit with the tune on separate recordings in 1927 and 1928, but was dead of unknown causes by 1929. I like to think that maybe the song was trying to catch up to him. In a tragic irony, Jefferson was buried in an unmarked grave until 1967. However, it wasn't until 1997 that his hometown of Wortham, TX ... in conjunction with the Blind Lemon Jefferson Memorial Project ... [...]

Big week here at the Lounge. We're finally open for business, the coffee is brewing, the jukebox is humming, and we just found a stack of Replacements reissues in the mail. Sweet!
