Luther Ingram THE PITIFULS Hold My Heart To The Fire LocoBop L2I-012 Malaco Records’ house band in Jackson, MS was one of the best tight knit rhythm sections that southern studios were noted for in the 1960s and ‘70s. James Stroud (drums), Carson Whitsett (keyboards), Dino Zimmerman (guitar), and Don Barrett (bass) shaped hits by ZZ Hill, Dorothy Moore, Paul Simon, Paul Davis, Little Milton, Bobby Blue Bland, Johnnie Taylor, and Eddie Floyd. In the early 1980s, Stroud seized an opportunity to work with some of Nashville’s biggest names. Barrett, Zimmerman, and Whitsett, coincidently but individually, made Nashville their home as well. No longer a unit, they independently recorded with KT Oslin, Eddie Rabbitt, Janis Ian, Kathy Mattea, BB King, Eric Clapton, Suzy Bogguss, John Mayall, and Waylon Jennings. Whitsett also collaborated with Dan Penn, Tony Joe White, and others writing hits for Solomon Burke, Lorrie Morgan, John Anderson, Joe Cocker, and Conway Twitty. THE NEXT FOOL I FORGOT TO BE YOUR LOVER In 1996, Whitsett, Zimmerman, and Barrett reunited for a CLEAN SLATE one-off project with drummer Jimmy Hyde of Eddie SMOKE FILLED ROOM Rabbitt’s band and keyboardist Gene Sisk (Sawyer Brown, LOVE AT WORK The Judds, Earl Scruggs). Dubbing themselves The THE PITIFULS Pitifuls, they recorded this album in Memphis with Grammy- HOLD MY HEART TO THE FIRE award-winning engineer Danny Jones. THEY SAY BACKSLIDIN' Don Barrett sings lead on the majority of tracks, alternating I'M GONNA LOVE YOU OUT OF HIS LIFE with the grittier Jimmy Hyde. Except for Barrett's I'm Gonna Love You Right Out Of His Life and the Soul classic I Forgot To Be Your Lover, all songs were penned by Carson Whitsett, some in tandem with Dan Penn, Larry Byrom, Gary Nicholson, and others. This is an album of timeless enjoyment. So, crank it up and WWW.LOCOBOP.COM get yourself a case of The Pitifuls! LOCOBOP- PO Box 16591 – Jackson, MS 39236 – USA – [email protected] .

  • Carl Jackson- Musical Dream Maker
    Carl Jackson- Musical Dream Maker By Lee Kotick Carl Jackson is a musical architect, bridge builder, and dreamer. He’s a one of a kind man; a humble networker who enriches others’ lives. Jackson’s mantra is, “With each dream that becomes a reality, a new dream lies ahead.” Many of his dreams have come true. He’s not just a gifted musical producer, but a most influential guy who perhaps is singularly responsible for the creation of one of the major bridges between bluegrass and country from the 1960s to the present. His feet are firmly planted in both genres. Jackson’s humility would cause him to disagree with such homage. Make no mistake, bluegrass and country go together other like ham and eggs. Jackson’s body of work in bluegrass and country is unrivaled for its time period. Just as Glen Campbell and Jim and Jesse took a young banjo playing Jackson under their wings, he in turn takes on talented young artists, nurtures them and teaches them to fly on their own. As a good song must have a great title, so must dreams be built on bridges providing artists connections between episodes of their dreams. While he’s fulfilled many of his own dreams, Jackson is called to make others’ dreams come true. Our country’s greatest artists want to be affiliated with Jackson’s projects, and to a person, they clearly love and admire him. This is a man who has reached the epitome of musical production in our genres. The Man Jackson was born in 1953 in a small clinic above the Strand Theatre in Louisville, MS.

  • Comments from Book Owners (2007)
    Comments 2007 Second Quarter Greg…..just got the book….what an amazing project….can’t tell you how much I appreciate being included in the text. Best of luck to you with it. Many thanks Duke Duke Bardwell (Greek Fountains) Greg, While in high school (67-68) I played sax with the Originals where I became friends with Wilson Rodgers. I followed Wilson to play bass with the Platters (Buck Ram's) where we got tight with Duke Hall who, with Wilson created Black & Blue. I was the original bass player and stage director of the band. (BTW, the photo you have of the group has Duke's wife standing in for Linda Green (who was not available for the hasty photo). I worked for short periods with the Monzas and the Peace Corp. The Peace Corp was a seasoned and talented group with Freddy Owens as their primary front man (Freddie and I knew each other from the 2nd grade. I was a too much of a hippy at the time and didn't really fit in with those guys but it was musically a blast. That was the end of my "beach music" days as I eventually drifted into jazz and moved to Florida where there was more opportunity for work. Gary Champion Gary, Thanks, we appreciate getting updated information. Do we have your tenures with both the Originals Monzas and Black & Blue in the band directories? If not, please forward the correct info, We would love to publish any other 60s era photos you have with any of the bands.

    Table of Contents Features 1,4,8,16 OOFBEATing Bio updates 6-7 Class of 1963 Addresses 15 H Deaths 10,12-14 2007 Spring Issue Classmates’ Home Destroyed by Tornado Severe thunderstorms and at least one tornado left a trail of destruction and at least 19 people dead in Florida. The storms hit during the night of Friday, Feb- ruary 2, 2007, at about 3:15, when most residents were sleeping. This is the news that I heard when I woke up just hours later. What follows are emails between the Mockbees and Penny Dunn Schooner (MHS ’65) Connie Dunn Overby’s sister. Also, you will remember that the 2006-2007 winter edi- tion of HOOFBEATing featured Connie and Billy Overby and excerpts from their Christmas card on pages 13 and 19. This newsletter is still available at www.ongulf.com/mhs. Estelle Noel Mockbee Area where tornado touched down February 2, 2007 Hi Estelle, I am Penny Dunn Schooner, Connie's little sis- ter, and she asked me to contact you to let you know they took their message recorder to someone's home and heard your message. They are not hurt, which is a miracle itself since they were asleep. Billy woke up and heard stuff hitting their home, told everyone (even a couple visiting from Atlanta) to go to the hall bath. Connie started through the hall toward the living room when the windows blew, and all hell broke loose. She held onto a doorknob for her life. The Atlanta cou- ple's car was found blocks away.
