  • Bob Dylan Performs “It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding),” 1964–2009
    Volume 19, Number 4, December 2013 Copyright © 2013 Society for Music Theory A Foreign Sound to Your Ear: Bob Dylan Performs “It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding),” 1964–2009 * Steven Rings NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.13.19.4/mto.13.19.4.rings.php KEYWORDS: Bob Dylan, performance, analysis, genre, improvisation, voice, schema, code ABSTRACT: This article presents a “longitudinal” study of Bob Dylan’s performances of the song “It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)” over a 45-year period, from 1964 until 2009. The song makes for a vivid case study in Dylanesque reinvention: over nearly 800 performances, Dylan has played it solo and with a band (acoustic and electric); in five different keys; in diverse meters and tempos; and in arrangements that index a dizzying array of genres (folk, blues, country, rockabilly, soul, arena rock, etc.). This is to say nothing of the countless performative inflections in each evening’s rendering, especially in Dylan’s singing, which varies widely as regards phrasing, rhythm, pitch, articulation, and timbre. How can music theorists engage analytically with such a moving target, and what insights into Dylan’s music and its meanings might such a study reveal? The present article proposes one set of answers to these questions. First, by deploying a range of analytical techniques—from spectrographic analysis to schema theory—it demonstrates that the analytical challenges raised by Dylan’s performances are not as insurmountable as they might at first appear, especially when approached with a strategic and flexible methodological pluralism.

  • Rock & Roll: a Discourse of “Rethink”
    RESEARCH ARTICLE ROCK & ROLL: A DISCOURSE OF “RETHINK” OF THE DUALISM OF THE CENTRE AND THE MARGIN Divya Sharma (Doctor of Philosophy in English Literature from Dept. of English, University of Jammu, India) Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Within the politics of the systematic subversion of subordinate through the logic of domination within the ontological divide African American women artists’ music emerges as a resistance mechanism at subverting the culture/nature Cartesian dualism initiating a discourse of “rethink” of the dualism of “the centre” and “the margin,” thwarting the myth of the “Otherness” in turn liberating the other, and implicitly all such “Other” groups through the celebration of the associative interconnectivity across these marginal groups. The chapter covers the literary oeuvre of significant rock and roll African American women artists, right from its inception during the period of the blues i.e. the 1920s in the work of Sister Rosetta Tharpe, in the 1950s in the music of LaVern Baker and Willie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton, and in the 1960s in that of Odetta Holmes.

During 1960 and 1961, Charlie Rothschild took over the business side of the company. Clancy sold the company to Bernard Solomon at Everest Records in 1966.

  • Odetta (B.12/31/1930, D.12/2/2008) Odetta Holmes, Simply Known As Odetta, Was Born on December 31, 1930 in Birmingham Alabama
    Odetta (b.12/31/1930, d.12/2/2008) Odetta Holmes, simply known as Odetta, was born on December 31, 1930 in Birmingham Alabama. After the death of her father while still a child, Odetta and her mother moved to Los Angeles in 1937. After hearing her sing, one of Odetta’s grammar school teachers insisted that Odetta’s mother sign her up for classical training. After finishing high school she continued to Los Angeles City College to study music. After graduating from college, Odetta landed a role in the chorus of a traveling production of Finian’s Rainbow. She fell in love with folk music when, after a show in San Francisco, she experienced a late-night folk music session. After being touched by those songs she said, “I borrowed a guitar and learned three chords, and started to sing at parties.” In 1953, she moved to New York City and soon became a fixture at Manhattan’s famed Blue Angel nightclub. “As I did those songs, I could work on my hate and fury without being antisocial,” she said. “Through those songs, I learned things about the history of black people in this country that the historians in school had not been willing to tell us about or had lied about.” She recorded her first solo album, Odetta Sings Ballads and Blues, in 1956, and it became an instant classic in American folk music. Bob Dylan later cited that album as the record that first turned him on to folk music. In 1960, Odetta delivered a famed concert at Carnegie Hall and released a live recording of the performance.

Professor Werner Sollors Jack Hamilton Professor Carol J. Oja Rubber Souls: Rock and Roll and the Racial Imagination Abstract This dissertation explores the interplay of popular music and racial thought in the 1960s, and asks how, when, and why rock and roll music “became white.” By Jimi Hendrix’s death in 1970 the idea of a black man playing electric lead guitar was considered literally remarkable in ways it had not been for Chuck Berry only ten years earlier: employing an interdisciplinary combination of archival research, musical analysis, and critical race theory, this project explains how this happened, and in doing so tells two stories simultaneously.

  • Odetta Sings Ballads and Blues”—Odetta (1957) Added to the National Registry: 2020 Essay by Ian Zack (Guest Post)*
    “Odetta Sings Ballads and Blues”—Odetta (1957) Added to the National Registry: 2020 Essay by Ian Zack (guest post)* Odetta When Odetta and her first manager tried to secure a recording session for her in San Francisco in the fall of 1956, their excitement about her bursting talent quickly turned to dismay. The first studio on their list barred the 25-year-old singer-guitarist because of her race. Under union rules, she learned, Black artists couldn’t record there. Finally locating a “Jim Crow studio”--one manned by Black recording engineers--Odetta laid down the 16 tracks that would comprise her mesmerizing debut LP as a solo performer, “Odetta Sings Ballads and Blues.” Released in late 1956 [some sources give 1957] by Tradition Records, a fledgling label in New York’s Greenwich Village, “Ballads and Blues” hit the small but growing folk music community like a thunderbolt. Who was this young woman singing songs of the Black experience--old spirituals, work songs, rural blues--in an opera-trained contralto? In an era when all respectable Black women were expected to straighten their hair, why was she pictured on the striking red and white album jacket wearing hers in what would come much later to be called an Afro? The answers to these questions, as it turned out, were all related. Born in deeply segregated Birmingham, Alabama, during the Great Depression, Odetta soon had her first experiences with second-class citizenship--the colored drinking fountains, colored waiting rooms and colored sections of the movie theater that she later described as early slaps at a young girl’s dignity.
