Joseph A. Rosen Rhythm andBluesCruise,Rhythm October 2007. onthe Legendary Joe LouisWalker In 1985, after a decade of playing and singing nothing but gospel music with a quartet called the Spiritual Corinthians, 35-year-old Joe Louis Walker decided to get back to the blues. The San Francisco–born singer-guitarist had begun playing blues when he was 14, at first with a band of relatives and then with blues-singing pimp Fillmore Slim before becoming a fixture at the Matrix, the city’s preeminent rock club during the psychedelic Summer of Love, backing such visiting artists as Earl Hooker and Magic Sam. Michael Bloomfield became a close friend and mentor. The two musicians lived together for a period, and the famous guitarist even produced a Walker demo for Buddah Records, though nothing came of it. Then, in 1975, Walker walked away from the blues completely in order to escape the fast life and the drugs and alcohol associated with it that he saw negatively affecting Bloomfield and other musician friends. Walker knew nothing about the blues business when he started doing blues gigs again around the Bay Area with a band he’d put together, as a member of Oakland blues singer-guitarist Haskell “Cool Papa” Sadler’s band, and (for a tour of Europe) with the ad hoc Mississippi Delta Blues Band.

  • Mystery Train
    Mystery Train (Elvis Presley) [Verse 1] Train I ride, sixteen coaches long Train I ride, sixteen coaches long Well that long black train got my baby and gone [Chorus] Train train, coming around, around the bend Train train, coming around, around the bend Well it took my baby, but it never will again No, not again [Verse 2] Train train, coming down, down the line Train train, coming down, down the line Well it's bringing my baby, because she's mine all, all mine She's mine, all, all mine [Chorus] Train train, coming around, around the bend Train train, coming around, around the bend Well it took my baby, but it never will again No, not again (Ooh, woah) 157 "Mystery Train" is a song written and recorded by American blues musician Junior Parker in 1953. Originally performed in the style of a Memphis blues or rhythm and blues tune, it was inspired by earlier songs and later became a popular rockabilly song, with recordings by Elvis Presley and others. Music historian Colin Escott noted "One of the mysteries about 'Mystery Train' was where the title came from; it was mentioned nowhere in the song". The song uses lyrics similar to those found in the traditional American folk music group Carter Family's "Worried Man Blues", itself based on an old Celtic ballad, and their biggest selling record of 1930: The train arrived sixteen coaches long The train arrived sixteen coaches long The girl I love is on that train and gone Parker's lyrics include: Train I ride sixteen coaches long Train I ride sixteen coaches long Well, that long black train carries my baby home Junior Parker, billed as "Little Junior's Blue Flames", recorded "Mystery Train" for producer/Sun Records owner Sam Phillips.

  • Introducing Elvis Presley
    Chapter 1 Introducing Elvis Presley In This Chapter ▶ Outlining Elvis’s place in American history ▶ Summarizing Elvis’s life ▶ Tracking Elvis’s popularity from beginning to end n the one hand, Elvis Presley needs no introduction, because his name Oand face are recognized around the world as the ultimate celebrity. Imitators re-create his act; late-night comedians joke about him; cable chan- nels rerun his movies; and merchandisers exploit his image on everything from T-shirts to lamps. On the other hand, the reasons for his fame have become lost in the trappings of celebrity, especially for younger generations born after his death on August 16, 1977. For the original fans, who have remained loyal for over 50 years, Elvis earned his reputation as the King of Rock ’n’ Roll; for others, discovering why he deserved his fame and a place in American cultural history may be a revelation. In this chapter, I introduce you to Elvis Presley through the high points of his life and career, including his post-death popularity. This chapter sets up an extensive exploration of Elvis Presley — the cultural icon — that details the events of his life, explains the significance of his music, and contemplates his meaning to American pop culture. COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL Identifying a Cultural Icon Almost everyone knows that Elvis Presley was a famous singer, but many people don’t fully understand what he contributed to popular music to earn his widespread fame. Elvis combined different types of music to form a style called rockabilly, which became one of the key sounds in rock ’n’ roll.

  • Ron Weinstock (Jazz & Blues Review)
    Omar and the Howlers I’m Gone Big Guitar Music Having recently had the pleasure to consider the excellent overview of the past two decades of Omar and the Howlers “Essential Collection” on Ruf, I recently received the latest Omar and the Howlers recording “I’m Gone” (Big Guitar Music). It’s a session that has him joined by guitarists Casper Rawls and Derek O’Brien; bassists Ronnie James and Bruce Jones; and drummers Mike Buck and Wes Starr for a rocking collection of rockabilly and blues. It starts with the title track, a hot rockabilly stomp that evokes the classic Sun sound and with a forceful, gravelly vocal. “All About the Money” is a lazy blues shuffle with a relaxed vocal; some nicely articulated guitar and a nice relaxed pace. “Drunkard’s Paradise” is a country number about drinking in the darkness with some chicken scratching guitar and steel guitar. Bo Diddley was an inspiration for Omar and on “Wild and Free” he uses the “Bo Diddley beat” and employs judicious use of tremolo on it, followed by the driving “Dust my Broom” groove of “Down At The Station.” “Lone Star Blues” is an atmospheric, straight-ahead blues instrumental which, like this recording, benefits from the economical backing and playing that benefits as much by what is not played as what is played. The ensuing track, “Omar’s Boogie” is a solid country-rockabilly instrumental with plenty of twang and is followed by the slow “Goin’ Back to Texas,” which has a swamp blues flavor; a nice, gritty vocal and Casper Rawls’ guitar solo which takes some unexpected twists.

    Following the company to the West Coast, Jamerson spent the last ten years of his life trying to recapture the glory he had experienced in Detroit. But as much as he tried, the scene was foreign to him, and without the emotional support of Hitsville’s Funk Brothers, Jamerson faltered. Alco­ holism and emotional prob­ lems diminished his talents, eventually ending his life in 1983. At Jamerson’s funeral, Stevie Wonder eulogized how James had changed the fabric of his and all of our lives. Certainly, the leg­ endary bassist’s imprint has been indelibly etched onto our popular culture: Every time you’ve ever partied to a Motown record, that seis­ mic event making your feet move was James Jamerson’s bass.
