  • Steve Cropper | Primary Wave Music
    STEVE CROPPER facebook.com/stevecropper twitter.com/officialcropper Image not found or type unknown youtube.com/channel/UCQk6gXkhbUNnhgXHaARGskg playitsteve.com en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Cropper open.spotify.com/artist/1gLCO8HDtmhp1eWmGcPl8S If Yankee Stadium is “the house that Babe Ruth built,” Stax Records is “the house that Booker T, and the MG’s built.” Integral to that potent combination is MG rhythm guitarist extraordinaire Steve Cropper. As a guitarist, A & R man, engineer, producer, songwriting partner of Otis Redding, Eddie Floyd and a dozen others and founding member of both Booker T. and the MG’s and The Mar-Keys, Cropper was literally involved in virtually every record issued by Stax from the fall of 1961 through year end 1970.Such credits assure Cropper of an honored place in the soul music hall of fame. As co-writer of (Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay, Knock On Wood and In The Midnight Hour, Cropper is in line for immortality. Born on October 21, 1941 on a farm near Dora, Missouri, Steve Cropper moved with his family to Memphis at the age of nine. In Missouri he had been exposed to a wealth of country music and little else. In his adopted home, his thirsty ears amply drank of the fountain of Gospel, R & B and nascent Rock and Roll that thundered over the airwaves of both black and white Memphis radio. Bit by the music bug, Cropper acquired his first mail order guitar at the age of 14. Personal guitar heroes included Tal Farlow, Chuck Berry, Jimmy Reed, Chet Atkins, Lowman Pauling of the Five Royales and Billy Butler of the Bill Doggett band.

  • “Convoy” (Written by Bill Fries and Chip Davis) CW Mccall
    The Story Behind The Song: “Convoy” (written by Bill Fries and Chip Davis) C. W. McCall (#1 country, #1 pop, 1975) Recently I mentioned this song “Convoy” in my earlier backstory regarding Waylon Jennings’ 1977 smash “Luckenbach, Texas (Back To The Basics Of Love),” explaining that six weeks at #1 had been the highest tally achieved by a country song during the decade of the 1970s, and that only three records had accomplished this. In addition to “Luckenbach, Texas,” the others were Freddie Hart’s “My Hang Up Is You” in 1972 and the song I’m writing about today: C. W. McCall’s “Convoy.” Bill Fries of Audobon, Iowa was working as a $40,000-a-year advertising executive for Bozell & Jacobs in Omaha, Nebraska when he first developed the characters of C. W. McCall and the truck-stop waitress, Mavis. Their commercials for Old Home Bread won a “Clio” award (given for advertising), and the song “Old Home Filler-Up An’ Keep On-A-Truckin’ Café” rose to #19 on the Billboard country charts in 1974. Fries continued working for Bozell & Jacobs, but he also pursued his secondary musical career, reaching #12 with “Wolf Creek Pass” and #13 with “Classified,” all released under his “C. W. McCall” moniker. In June of 1975, he was listening to his CB radio when he got the idea for “Convoy,” taking advantage of a growing fad. Nine months later, some 3.5 million CB operators were transmitting signals across the U. S., and some of them no doubt picked up on the trend after hearing McCall’s hit.

  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 95 OCTOBER 7TH, 2019 Welcome to Copper #95! This is being written on October 4th---or 10/4, in US notation. That made me recall one of my former lives, many years and many pounds ago: I was a UPS driver. One thing I learned from the over-the- road drivers was that the popular version of CB-speak, "10-4, good buddy" was not generally used by drivers, as it meant something other than just, "hi, my friend". The proper and socially-acceptable term was "10-4, good neighbor." See? You never know what you'll learn here. In #95, Professor Larry Schenbeck takes a look at the mysteries of timbre---and no, that's not pronounced like a lumberjack's call; Dan Schwartz returns to a serious subject --unfortunately; Richard Murison goes on a sea voyage; Roy Hall pays a bittersweet visit to Cuba; Anne E. Johnson’s Off the Charts looks at the long and mostly-wonderful career of Leon Russell; J.I. Agnew explains how machine screws brought us sound recording; Bob Wood continues wit his True-Life Radio Tales; Woody Woodward continues his series on Jeff Beck; Anne’s Trading Eights brings us classic cuts from Miles Davis; Tom Gibbs is back to batting .800 in his record reviews; and I get to the bottom of things in The Audio Cynic, and examine direct some off-the-wall turntables in Vintage Whine. Copper #95 wraps up with Charles Rodrigues on extreme room treatment, and a lovely Parting Shot from my globe-trotting son, Will Leebens.

    PRESS RELEASE Contact: Munnie Jordan, Executive Director E: [email protected] T: 870-572-5223 www.kingbiscuitfestival.com FOR RELEASE ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 2018, AFTER 5 P.M. 33rd Annual King Biscuit Blues Festival Announces Lineup HELENA, AR — The King Biscuit Blues Festival showcases the nation’s foremost Blues music. Paul Thorn calls The Biscuit “one of my favorites” and “a wonderful event.” Carolyn Wonderland says it’s like going to Mecca: “You gotta make the pilgrimage because it’s where the music’s real.” Charlie Starr of Blackberry Smoke looks at the group’s Biscuit date as his job to “make sure we continue to push outwards with our music and continue to grow where we don’t feel stifled or bored or stagnant.” Each of these acts will perform at the 33rd annual King Biscuit Blues Festival set for October 3 through 6. They represent a commitment to continue a historic thread that’s always made the Biscuit a showcase for the best of the past, present and future of America’s musical art form, the blues. Dave Mason crowns this year’s King Biscuit Saturday night performing with Steve Cropper. Mason calls his appearance at the festival “a chance to do something a little bit different and for me to do some material that I would never normally do.” One of the founders of the British Invasion rock band Traffic, he shares the stage with Steve Cropper, who co-wrote Otis Redding’s “The Dock of The Bay.” Considered the founder of Memphis soul, Cropper was named the number two guitarist of all time (Jimi Hendrix was number one) by England’s Mojo magazine.

Blues music arose from the African American experience in the South. On the farms and in fields, enslaved Black people sang to keep their spirits up, spread the news and sometimes to relay secret messages. In church, they sang gospel music. At work, the blues. Blues music went on to become the basic DNA for jazz, R&B, rock and roll, rap and most every manner of modern music.
