  • Burt Bacharach, the Look of Love: the Burt Bacharach Collection (Rhino, 1998)
    ROCK'N'ROLL’S 1ST DECADE Week Seven: Rock in the Early 1960s: Surf and Girl Groups Recommended Listening: Burt Bacharach, The Look of Love: The Burt Bacharach Collection (Rhino, 1998). This might seem like a strange inclusion, as most of the 75 tracks on this three-CD box were done by artists other than Burt Bacharach; Bacharach is sometimes thought of more as a pop or easy listening figure than a rock one; his success stretched throughout the 1960s, way past the British Invasion; and as he usually wrote with lyricists, especially Hal David, rather than working alone. Still, the Bacharach-David songwriting team was one of the great Brill Building collaborations, and vital to pop-rock's evolution into new melodic and lyrical directions. This box has hits and rarities by Dionne Warwick (the most frequent beneficiary of Bacharach-David's compositions and production), Gene Pitney, the Shirelles, the Drifters, Chuck Jackson, and many others. The Beach Boys, Greatest Hits Vol. 1 & 2 (Capitol, 1999). Although these miss a few of their more notable songs (including their first single, "Surfin'"), these two twenty-song CDs contain virtually all of their 1960s hits and most famous non-hits. They span both their surf/hot rod-oriented pre-1965 material and their more mature sound of the last half of the 1960s. Dick Dale, King of the Surf Guitar: The Best of Dick Dale (Rhino, 1989). While he didn't have any national hits, Dick Dale was the most innovative and exciting instrumental surf music guitarist. This has his best early-'60s recordings, including "Misirlou," made famous by its use in Pulp Fiction, and covered by the Beach Boys on their second album, on which they also covered Dale's "Let's Go Trippin'." The Four Seasons, The Very Best of Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons (Rhino, 2003).

  • “Covering” the Bluesman from a Distance
    Introduction In many ways, my journey towards this thesis topic began with my brother’s music collection. Throughout my teens he would introduce me to a wide range of local and international acts, many of which were influenced by African-American blues artists. This influence is evident in both their construction of sound and the old songs that they rerecorded. From there I began tracing musical influences from song credits and interview excerpts—a path often travelled by musicians and fans alike—that would eventually lead me to an appreciation of blues music. The penultimate step towards this topic came in the form of my honours thesis—a creative project that involved rerecording several tracks from the catalogue of an early Australian country music artist, one of which was titled “Blue Mountain Blues”.1 From there I turned to blues music in Australia. Initially conceived as a history of “Australian blues”, it became apparent that this proposed sub-genre struggled to unify and explain the disparate musical styles contained therein. Although each artist was clearly addressing the musical characteristics and influences I had come to recognise as “blues music”, it all sounded different. In the meantime, I developed a keen interest in a fellow colleague’s thesis topic that addressed the role of “covers” within the Australian music industry (Giuffre, 2005). My epiphany—and catalyst for the current thesis topic—eventually presented itself while viewing a live performance from Peter Green Splinter Group. The concert was split into two courses: an acoustic entrée featuring several Robert Johnson “covers”; and, an electric main with side dishes of early Fleetwood Mac material—the band Green had help found many years ago.

  • Women in Rock OLLI Berkeley Course Material
    Syllabus for Women in Rock: From the 1950s to the 1980s Instructor: Richie Unterberger, [email protected] OLLI Berkeley Week One: Women in Rock: The Early Years and The Girl Groups In the 1950s, rhythm and blues singers like Ruth Brown and LaVern Baker have some of the first rock’n’roll hits; Wanda Jackson and the Collins Kids are top rockabilly acts; and Brenda Lee becomes the first woman rock superstar. As New York’s Brill Building becomes established as the top place for rock publishers, women like Carole King, Cynthia Weil, and Ellie Greenwich become some of pop-rock’s most successful songwriters. Girl groups like the Shirelles, the Crystals, the Ronettes, the Chiffons, and the Cookies have numerous hits in the early 1960s, forming one of the major trends in rock of the period. In the early 1960s, some of the most R&B-oriented girl groups become some of the first soul stars, especially for Motown Records, with the Marvelettes, Martha & the Vandellas, the Supremes, and Mary Wells. Week Two: Women in Soul and British Rock Women soul singers emerge throughout the country, some of them more pop-oriented (Maxine Brown, Dionne Warwick), some of them earthier (Carla Thomas, Irma Thomas, Etta James). Aretha Franklin is anointed the Queen of Soul after moving to Atlantic Records and adopting a tougher, more spiritual sound. Other women soul singers with a forceful style emerge and increase in popularity, like Gladys Knight, Nina Simone, and the Staple Singers. Although all-male guitar bands dominate the British Invasion, a good number of women singers also make an impact both in their native UK and in the US.
