Godmother of R&B Willie Mae Thornton AKA Big Mama Thornton was bestowed that title not only for her robust size but also for her booming voice and even larger than than life character. She was known to intimidate her aloof record label when necessary ( "Motherfuckers, WHERE is my money?" ) and even threatened to kick Elvis' ass once when his version of Hound Dog (which she allegedly co-wrote with Lieber & Stoller ) trumped her original in the charts. There was always a bottle of booze and a pistol in her purse and even the [...]

30 Days Out
In a few months the world (at least, that part of the world which still listens to real music) will turn its ears toward Austin, Texas, for the annual mecca of indie/alt/punk/experimental/fo lk/whatever acts called South by Southwest. We love Austin and all, but that's not why we're here today. No, we want to talk a bit about our hometown - Houston. Contrary to popular impression, Houston's actually a rockin' place. It's a BIG rockin' place. Yes, Houston is one of the biggest cities in the country and we do have all of the good and bad stuff that [...]
One Sweet Song
Friends, I'm pretty siked to say that tomorrow I'm going to be co-leading a workshop, the subject of which is the art of the houseshow, at the Brooklyn-based Willie Mae Rock and Roll Camp for Girls . Last night I compiled a digital file of pictures from houseshows over the years and fantastic fliers made by friends and conspirators. This almost brought a tear to my eye. What is it about houseshows? I don't know. They are magical. Switching gears, the camp, which is awesome through and through, is named for "Big [...]

Mainstream Isnt So Bad...Is It
So lately the tumbleweed have been about the only things shakin' in these parts. What can i say? It's a mixture of being busy with the real non-musical world and the labor of love of writing about music has felt more like a labor than a love. Don't get me wrong, I've been listening to some great stuff lately, and I'm going to start sharing more of it with you this coming week as I work my way out of this funk. That being said, I'm serving up a second helping of Sunday Soul this week to make up for [...]

Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton was born on December 11, 1926 and she passed away on July 25, 1984. I've always thought of her as one of the great ladies of blues shouting, and she also was a wonderful harmonica player. According to Wikipedia; Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton (December 11, 1926 – July 25, 1984) was an American rhythm and blues singer and songwriter. She was the first to record the hit song "Hound Dog" in 1952. The song was #1 on the Billboard R&B charts for seven weeks. The B-side was "They Call Me Big [...]

We don't know about the rest of you ne'er-do-wells, but we're standing by our man David Letterman during this whole sex-with-employees/extortion mess. Having the National Organization for Women asking for your head on a platter can't be too much fun, y'know? But after a week of scandal and speculation, we've had enough time to reflect on what's happened and offer up some constructive ideas for how to lighten the mood around the Ed Sullivan Theater. We'd suggest that the Late Show 's ace bandleader, Paul Shaffer , incorporate a few new tracks into their already impressive [...]
