  • Colin Linden – Blow Biography
    Colin Linden – bLOW Biography “Got a coin in my pocket heavy and gold/It don’t own me I need to let it go/Cause having is wanting/Desire can make you weep” – “bLOW” Colin Linden’s tale is the stuff of legend, the kind told in the Coen brothers’ O Brother Where Art Thou or Inside Llewyn Davis, both of which featured his guitar playing on the soundtracks. That film would begin with an 11-year-old meeting his musical idol Howlin’ Wolf at a matinee show in his native Toronto, accompanied by his mom, who took a picture of the two during a nearly two-hour long conversation before the gig, the legendary bluesman idling over coffee and cigarettes. “I’m an old man now, and I won’t be around much longer,” Wolf told him. “It’s up to you to carry it on.” Linden still carries that frayed photograph in his wallet, along with a Sears 5/8” socket wrench in his pocket to play slide guitar. He has taken Wolf’s plea seriously, performing since he was 12 years old, leaving home as a teenager to travel the south at the invitation of Mississippi Sheiks delta blues guitarist Sam Chatmon which took him to Detroit, Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Memphis and Hollandale, Mississippi, meeting and visiting the sites of his heroes – Brownie McGhee, Muddy Waters, Sippie Wallace, Tampa Red, Blind John Davis, the Rev. Robert Wilkins, Sleepy John Estes and Son House, visiting the landmarks and juke joints, many of which he’s played in during the course of a 45-year career producing and playing blues and roots music.

  • Has There Ever, in the History of 20Th Century Music, Ever Been a More Influential Organisation Than That of the American Folk Blues Festivals (AFBF)?
    Muddy Waters John Lee Hooker Sonny Boy Williamson Willie Dixon, Buddy Guy Otis Spann a.m.m. ACT 6000-2 Release Date: 24. May 2004 Has there ever, in the history of 20th century music, ever been a more influential organisation than that of the American Folk Blues Festivals (AFBF)? Founded in 1962, this series has surely had a lasting effect on the European, American, and indeed interational, music scenes. Where would hip hop, jazz, funk, rock, heavy metal or world music be without the blues? Blues is the foundation of the popular music of the 20th century. Its intensity, rhythms and harmonies have affected many peoples and culture, up to and including the music of Africa, the alkand and Spanish flamenco. The blues captures the sentiments of the people in a nutshell. Of course, in the beginning it was just a feeling. But not just of the blues, but also of emptiness. The idea of tracking down and bringing surviving blues legends to Europe was that of jazz publicist Joachim Ernst Berendt at the end of the 1950s. The new style of rock 'n' roll was beginning to take a foothold, jazz was in the mean time beginning to be celebrated in Europe, but all too little was heard of the blues, despite itself being the musical foundation of jazz and rock 'n' roll. It was up to Horst Lippmann and his partner Fritz Rau to realise the idea of the AFBF and bring the best Afro- american blues performers to concert halls (!) for a European audience. First they contacted Willie Dixon.

  • The Rolling Stones: Blue & Lonesome. Un Homenatge a Les Seves
    It's only rock & roll | Pep Saña | Actualitzat el 13/06/2017 a les 17:48 The Rolling Stones: Blue & Lonesome. Un homenatge a les seves influències Cinquanta cinc anys desprès dels seus inicis, els Rolling Stones continuen sent una institució que encara es mou (amb el permis del ?puto amo del bussiness? Mick Jagger) segons la seva intuïció i química. Blue & Lonesome, el seu últim àlbum, va arribar com un fantàstic accident, o com Keith Richards va dir amb el seu gran somriure, ?va ser com si un ésser diví ens hagués manat que el féssim?. No fa pas tants anys que els Rolling Stones encara respectaven aquella regla no escrita al món del rock que deia que per sortir de gira, l'excusa era tenir un nou disc per presentar, i així va passar amb les grans gires mundials desprès d'editar Steel Wheels (1989), Voodoo Lounge (1994), Bridges To Babylon (1997) i A Bigger Bang (2005). En general, la gent dona poc valor a aquests àlbums, en part potser perquè feien l'efecte de ser més una excusa per sortir de gira (que és on fan cash), que discos amb prou entitat com per recordar, jo soc més de la opinió, tot i que tinc clar que no son obres mestres, que son d'un nivell molt alt. Fessin el que fessin, Tatto You (1981) sempre marcaria la frontera d'opinió entre l'excel?lència dels d'abans i els ?prescindibles? de desprès. Des del 40é aniversari de la banda que editaven el recopilatori Forty Licks (2002) i l'extensa gira Licks Tour que vindria desprès amb motiu del disc, els Stones van començar a tenir clar, i amb l'àlbum A Bigger Bang (2005) gairebé es va confirmar, que allò de publicar un disc per sortir de gira era un invent sense sentit.

  • “Just a Dream”: Community, Identity, and the Blues of Big Bill Broonzy. (2011) Directed by Dr
    GREENE, KEVIN D., Ph.D. “Just a Dream”: Community, Identity, and the Blues of Big Bill Broonzy. (2011) Directed by Dr. Benjamin Filene. 332 pgs This dissertation investigates the development of African American identity and blues culture in the United States and Europe from the 1920s to the 1950s through an examination of the life of one of the blues’ greatest artists. Across his career, Big Bill Broonzy negotiated identities and formed communities through exchanges with and among his African American, white American, and European audiences. Each respective group held its own ideas about what the blues, its performers, and the communities they built meant to American and European culture. This study argues that Broonzy negotiated a successful and lengthy career by navigating each groups’ cultural expectations through a process that continually transformed his musical and professional identity. Chapter 1 traces Broonzy’s negotiation of black Chicago. It explores how he created his new identity and contributed to the flowering of Chicago’s blues community by navigating the emerging racial, social, and economic terrain of the city. Chapter 2 considers Broonzy’s music career from the early twentieth century to the early 1950s and argues that his evolution as a musician—his lifelong transition from country fiddler to solo male blues artist to black pop artist to American folk revivalist and European jazz hero—provides a fascinating lens through which to view how twentieth century African American artists faced opportunities—and pressures—to reshape their identities. Chapter 3 extends this examination of Broonzy’s career from 1951 until his death in 1957, a period in which he achieved newfound fame among folklorists in the United States and jazz and blues aficionados in Europe.

  • Hoodoo Man Blues--Junior Wells (1965) Added to the National Registry: 2012 Essay By: Bill Hart (Guest Post)*
    Hoodoo Man Blues--Junior Wells (1965) Added to the National Registry: 2012 Essay by: Bill Hart (guest post)* Junior Wells Original label Album cover When I think of the Chicago blues, particularly the era of the “electric blues,” I usually think of the legendary performers on the Chess label, most of whom are dead and gone, the label now operating as part of the Universal Music Group. A few small labels, like Alligator Records, which started in 1971, Earwig Music (founded in Chicago in 1978 by Michael Franks) and Red Lightnin,’ established in the UK in 1968, have catalogs of older blues recordings or distribute “contemporary blues.” But Delmark Records, founded in St. Louis in 1953, and based in Chicago since 1958, is not only one of the “original” Chicago blues labels, but still remains in operation today. Delmark is also still run by its founder, Bob Koester, who is a legendary figure in his own right (and graciously agreed to supply me with information concerning the record). Koester produced and Delmark released “Hoodoo Man Blues” in 1965. The record has never gone out of print (except for a few months when Delmark moved its offices). And look up any list of “essential” blues records and it is there. There’s good reason for that. Though he had not yet been discovered by a national audience when the album was recorded in September of 1965, 30-year old Junior Wells was a well-established harmonica player and vocalist on the Chicago blues scene. He made his first recording as a replacement in Muddy Waters’s band for the legendary Little Walter in 1952.
