  • Boogie Chillen'
    “Boogie Chillen’”—John Lee Hooker (1948) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Jas Obrecht (guest post)* John Lee Hooker Original label From more than a half-century, John Lee Hooker reigned as the blues’ foremost boogieman and one of the genre’s most idiosyncratic performers. While he recorded more than a hundred albums with some of the finest blues and rock musicians, the heartbeat of his music was always his mesmerizing voice, propulsive guitar playing, and rhythm-driving foot taps. Like Lightnin’ Hopkins, Muddy Waters, and precious few others, Hooker was a musical law unto himself and a direct link to early blues. As Keith Richards observed after playing some sessions with Hooker, “With John Lee, there’s a break in the continuity of styles. What he picked up has got to come from one generation further back than anybody else, and John Lee can still make it work.” Nowhere is this more evident than on Hooker’s breakthrough 1948 single “Boogie Chillen.” When Hooker recorded the song, he was 31 years old and had recently moved to Detroit, Michigan. Accompanying himself with an acoustic guitar outfitted with a sound-hole pickup and tuned to an open-A chord, he framed most of the song’s repetitive, hypnotic feel with a one-chord riff that seemed equal parts West African music and Mississippi blues. Hooker had tested the song at house parties before he recorded it. “That was done at the old United Sound Systems there in Detroit,” he recalled. “They put a ply board under your feet, and your feet would just tap it.

  • James Armstrong –
    James Armstrong B•I•O•G•R•A•P•H•Y Guitarist, singer and songwriter James Armstrong has a bright future in blues music. His song "Pennies and Picks" from his third Hightone Records release, Got It Goin' On, garnered a 2001 WC Handy nomination for Song of the Year. Armstrong himself was nominated for Contemporary Male Blues Guitarist of the Year. It's easy to see why ... Armstrong tours extensively and his shows are considered one of the best on the circuit. The son of a blues-singing mother and jazz guitar-playing father, James Armstrong got the music bug at an early age. He formed his first band in the seventh grade, and progressed rapidly ever since. Armstrong singles out Jimi Hendrix and Robert Cray as singing influences, and Albert Collins, Albert King and Eric Clapton as guitarists whose work have inspired him. Based at the time in the Los Angeles area, Armstrong learned by playing - a lot of it - in the club scene of Southern California in the early 1980s. He recalls backing "Big" Joe Turner during that time at Santa Monica's Music Machine, and a similar gig with Albert Collins later on as part of a band that included guitarist Coco Montoya. Then there was that wild gig with Smokey Wilson in East L.A. that reinforced the image of the blues as a tough business on a young Armstrong. Armstrong's first HighTone release, 1995's Sleeping With a Stranger, drew widespread critical acclaim, as well as tremendous popularity on the European circuit. The great momentum he had going into early 1997 ended with the stabbing attack in April of that year.

INFORMATIONEN Mit insgesamt annähernd dreihundert Einzeltiteln beschreibt der Blueshistoriker und Musikwissenschaftler Bill Dahl aus Chicago die bislang umfassendste Geschichte des elektrischen Blues von seinen Anfängen in den späten 1930er Jahren bis in das aktuelle Jahrtausend. Bevor in den Dreißigerjahren Tonabnehmersysteme, erste primitive Verstärker und Beschallungssysteme und schließ- lich mit Gibsons ES-150 ein elektrisches Gitarren-Serienmodell entwickelt wurde, spielte die erste Generation der Gitarrenpioniere im Blues in den beiden Jahrzehnten vor Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkriegs auf akustischen Instrumenten. Doch erst mit Hilfe der elektrischen Verstärkung konnten sich Gitarristen und Mundharmonikaspielern gegenüber den Pianisten, Schlagzeugern und Bläsern in ihrer Band behaupten, wenn sie für ihre musikalischen Höhenflüge bei einem Solo abheben wollten. Auf zwölf randvollen CDs, jeweils in einem Dreier-Set in geschmackvollen und vielfach aufklappbaren Digipacks, hat Bill Dahl die wichtigsten und etliche nahezu in Vergessenheit geratene Beispiele für die bedeutendste Epoche in der Geschichte des Blues zusammengestellt.

Sherman Robertson's long awaited CD "Guitar Man - Live" has now been releases. Guitar Man - Live" was recorded live at the Kwadendamme Blues Festival on May 14th 2005. Sherman Robertson is already considered a young master of zydeco, hard-swinging Texas electric blues, R&B and swampy Louisiana blues. Robertson often surprises audiences with his ability to play R&B, zydeco and blues with a rock edge. "I use that driving, road-cooking type zydeco groove, and put blues on top of it," says Robertson. It's basically rhythm and feel." In June 2000, Robertson played at the Pioneer Valley Blues Festival in Massachusetts. Alligator president, Bruce Iglauer, was in the crowd.

How do you https://bobcorritore.com name the best when you have Buddy Guy, Freddie King, Otis Rush, Muddy Waters, Elmore James and Howlin’ Wolf ‘cutting heads’ on a nightly basis along with Hubert Sumlin, Magic Sam, Eddie Taylor, and Jody Williams. There were plenty more talented guitar slingers responsible for the music coming out of those clubs on Maxwell Street but if you polled all the guitar players in Chicago at that 1 time” Who Is The Best Guitar Player in the Windy City?” There is a damn good chance that Earl Hooker would have been the over-whelming favorite. Fact is, there are few more accomplished guitar players in the history of the Blues than Earl Hooker. His greatest acclaim came as a slide player. You want proof? An Earl Hooker performance once brought B.B. King to tears as BB told Buddy Guy, “No one can play a slide that clean.” Except for Earl Hooker.
