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.

But anyway, one time I remember with Detroit bluesman James ‘Rabbit Johnson’ (aka ‘Brer B.B. was when he made his record ‘Three O’Clock In The Morning’. He was Rabbit’) by the late George Paulus under the title of ‘Old showing me this big old wide disc, you know, and I looked at it, you know, ‘so what?’ (laughs).

But I ran into him on recollections of the Detroit music scene in the 1950s and 1960s. numerous occasions after then. I’d never get to really sit down and talk to In August 1979 Mike Rowe met Rabbit (along with Bobo Jenkins) him, ‘cause I used to try to sing with a little group called The Teen Towners, part of their conversation was recorded. The tape commenced in Memphis at WDIA radio station. And every year at The Veterans’ Hall with Rabbit talking about a Memphis sax player called Gilmore they’d give a benefit, you know. They would have guys like B.B. King, Ford Daniels. Nelson, or Nelson Ford.

  • Kevin Hahn: Pat Hare
    PAT HARE • a blues guitarist • by Kevin Hahn ‘Take The Bitter With The Sweet’ During the decade of the ’50s the name of Pat Hare stood among the front ranks of the many fine guitarists playing in Memphis, Houston, and Chicago. As Sam Phillips’ favorite guitarist he appeared on many of Sun’s blues sessions and his ferocious lead work made classics of records by the young James Cotton, Walter Bradford and Junior Parker; later recordings and performances with Parker, Bobby Bland and Muddy Waters served as tutelage for a new generation of blues players. Bob Koester, of Delmark Records, whose interest in blues is primarily as a vocal music, considered Pat as one of the finest non-singing guitarists and one of the few of interest. 1 By the early ’60s, however, his career was over; his last recorded work dates from 1960 and in early 1964 he was sentenced to life in prison for a double murder in Minnesota. Although he lived until 1980 and continued to perform while incarcerated, he was a forgotten figure in the blues community. This article is intended to bring some attention to his brief but important part in the story of the blues, and especially to shed some light on the events that ended his musical life, a story that has been clouded with myth and misinformation. Auburn Hare was bom on December 20, Parkin/Forrest City/West Memphis area and over a wood-pile behind the juke they 1930 in Cherry Valley, Arkansas at the home (Wolf would come out to the Hare farm and were playing at.

King, Howlin' Wolf, Ike Tur- ner, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Charlie Rich and Roy Orbison – artists who changed the way popular music was made. With a staff of no more than one or two people, he did this from a small store- front studio in Memphis, Tennessee. Others who made their first recordings at SUN include Rufus Thomas, Bobby Bland, Junior Parker, Little Milton, Conway Twitty, Charley Pride and many more! In 1952, after producing one of the biggest pre-rock 'n' roll hits, Jackie Brenston's Rocket 88, Sam Phillips launched SUN RECORDS with one local release, and then folded the label for a year. In 1953, he relaunched SUN,releasing sin- gles until he folded the label in 1968. BEAR FAMILY has led the way in documenting Sam Phillips' incredible achievement with career- defining box sets on Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, and definitive single or double CDs on every significant SUN artist.

  • THE U.K. SUN KING by Lyle Ferbrache
    THE U.K. SUN KING THE ‘OTHER’ LARRY WILLIAMS By Lyle Ferbrache The records that I found amazing were Larry’s collection of ‘white label with red lettering’ of some of the classic Sun blues records, including a beautiful copy of Sun 193, Dr. Ross, and an amazing white label with red lettering of the ultra-rare Jimmy Deberry. Where do people find such records? I needed to sit down with Larry and ask some questions about how he accumulated such things. I asked Larry how he got started: “I started collecting records in 1954 or 1955 always over the counter and initially nearly all 78s – we were some time behind your 45s as an option. I bought ‘Under The Bridges Of Paris’ by Eartha Kitt and ‘Rockin’ Through The Rye’ by Bill Haley. I was lucky that in St. Albans (where I attended senior school) there were two wonderful record shops. I asked him did he recall the the first of the Sun blues records he acquired? “Hmmmmm, difficult one – possibly one of Little Junior’s singles. But if you count it as blues, maybe The Prisonaires, ‘Just Walkin’ In The Rain’ which I have only recently obtained on red vinyl. Whichever, it wasn’t until November 1999 that I bought my first Sun record namely #286-45 Warren Smith’s ‘Got Love If You Want It’, but it was autographed. Apart from my regular collection, I now have nearly 200 individual Sun/Flip/Phillips International signed discs. So what were the hardest blues records to acquire? Larry told me “The hardest to find has to be #183 by D.A.

  • Black Spirituality and Culture of Resilience in Memphis, Tennessee
    “Something is Happening in Memphis”: Black Spirituality and Culture of Resilience in Memphis, Tennessee Kayla J. Smith Advisors: Dr. Todne Thomas & Ethan Goodnight, PhD Candidate A Senior Paper Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Divinity Harvard Divinity School Cambridge, Massachusetts May 2021 Abstract Memphis, Tennessee is a majority Black city located at the southwestern corner of Tennessee bordering Mississippi and Arkansas. The unique geographic location has created a beautifully urban-country energy that gives Memphis its edginess. There is a spiritual and relational component to the bold lives and culture people in Memphis create. During his last sermon on April 3, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke at Mason Temple in Memphis. He said, “Something is happening in Memphis. Something is happening in our world”. There has always been something happening in Memphis, and there exists a profound and distinct culture of resilience that deserves to be acknowledged and complexified. In this study, I will honor that brilliance and explore how a culture of resilience has been the site of innovation in Memphis. Some of Black Memphian life represents Black spirituality. Black spirituality invokes freedom of mind, body, and soul for Black people. Through a womanist lens, I will engage with Memphis’s Black history and culture to highlight its depiction of Black spirituality and deliberate, imaginative resilience for Black survival. I will do this through sections on the genesis of Memphis, creativity, defiance and activism, community and fellowship, and lastly, music, dance, and soul. I understand this city as a predominantly Black city.
