Notas de John Swenson, legendario periodista y escritor norteamericano (Creem, Crawdaddy, Rolling Stone, Circus…) En el mejor sello de Chicago: Bloodshot Records ¡20 años en la brecha! Gira española de presentacion en noviembre (organizada por I Wanna Management). Fechas por confirmar. BIO: Barrence Whitfield & the Savages empezaron su carrera en Boston a mediados de los años 80 con la fuerza de un cañonazo. Con sus shows sudorosos y bailongos y su amor por el soul primitivo fueron al R&B lo que The Cramps al rock-a-billy. Con Peter Greenberg (DMZ, The Lyres) en la formación publicaron varios discos en Rounder Records, se convirtieron en favoritos de los más enrollados DJs como Andy Kershaw de la BBC, fueron de gira con titanes como Bo Diddley, Tina Turner, y George Thorogood, y ganaron siete premios como mejor banda de Boston. Barrence y Peter se reunieron en 2011 con una nueva formación de los Savages junto a Phil Lenker al bajo, Andy Jody a la batería, y Tom Quartulli al saxo. “Barrence Whitfield is a treasure, with unbelievable pipes, an unimpeachable discography (with great taste in cover tunes) and undeniable appeal.” – POPMATTERS “Showcases a wild musical abandon.” – USA TODAY BARRENCE WHITFIELD & THE SAVAGES UNDER THE SAVAGE SKY RELEASE DATE: AUGUST 21, 2015 When asked about the methods and the madness It’s the kind of hip-shake proto-rockabilly that once behind capturing the scorched earth soul of Under had parents dragging their kids to the confessional the Savage Sky, guitarist Peter Greenberg explained for listening to that devil music. “Adjunct Street,” a that the band was eager for something “harder haunting, grinding ballad, gets you absinthe-drunk and garagier” than their previous record, while still on Greenberg’s warbly guitar and Barrence’s deep connecting with the energy and originality of the growl, and “Full Moon in the Daylight Sky” brings the classics. Given that the previous release, Dig Thy brooding, ‘60s 3 a.m. soul. Savage Soul (their 2013 Bloodshot debut and first U.S. release in a couple decades), was a 12-round One of BW&S’s signature moves is their unpredictable, sonic knockout, the R&B wallop of Under the Savage deep-catalog choice of covers and Under the Savage Sky may very well stand for ‘Roundhouse & Beatdown.’ Sky unearths some exquisite gems. Getting the Savage treatment in this bout are Timmy “Mr. Soul Satisfaction” There’s no harder hitter than frontman Barrence Willis’s “I’m a Full Grown Man,” all peacock-strut Whitfield of Boston, MA. When he hits the boards with garage blues with an above-the-pulpit B3; Kid Thomas’s the Savages, you’re either gonna ride the energy or be “The Wolf Pack,” done here with stalking, back-alley crushed by it. We’re talking Joe Louis, Howlin’ Wolf, toughness, burlesque sax lines and a lurid invitation to Wilson Pickett, Smokin’ Joe Frazier. Barrence has what howl along; Eddie Snow’s “I’m a Good Man”; and Ace these greats all possessed, the one thing a trainer recording artist Mercy Baby’s “Rock and Roll Baby.” cannot teach a fighter: a lust for mayhem. The wilder, louder, more insane the Savages bring it, the more BW Taken from the album’s liner notes (written by is ready to attack the mic, to bring it high, to bring it John Swenson, noted scribe for such illustrious low, to wear you down on the ropes, and eventually rock and boxing mags like Crawdaddy, Circus, and drop you. Ring): “Backing Whitfield are the best cornermen in the business, led by garage/punk guitarist Peter With the raw vocals, thick and nasty guitar tones, and Greenberg, the visionary who started the Savages preternaturally locked-in rhythm section, Under the after a legendary stint with the Lyres, and his sidekick Savage Sky might be the most soulful punk record— Phil “Mr. Tenacious” Lenker on bass. Greenberg works or perhaps the most punk soul record— you’ve ever his guitar with the ruthless intricacy of a chain saw heard. Compact, three minute-or-less blasts rocket ice sculptor. Lenker meshes with drummer Andy Jody back to the explosive heydays of The Dirtbombs and for an unrelenting sequence of haymaker beats. Tom genre godfathers The Sonics. Don’t believe it? Just Quartulli’s saxophone rips like a foghorn through the check out “Incarceration Casserole” (with its wild, mist.” Little Richard-era sax), the muscularity of “The Claw” (after all, every album of quality should start a dance Under The Savage Sky rains soul and brimstone from craze), and “Katy Didn’t.” “Rock and Roll Baby,” the heavens.

G Zusammengestellt und kommentiert vom anerkannten Bluesexeperten Bill Dahl. G Jede 3-CD-Ausgabe kommt mit einem ca. 160-seitigen Booklet mit Musikerbiografien, Illustrationen und seltenen Fotos.

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.

  • Delmark Label Discography
    Discography Of The Delmar(k) Label Delmar Records was started in St. Louis Missouri in 1953 by Robert Koester. The company recorded blues and jazz. Pearl Records was a subsidiary. Robert Koester was born in 1932 and grew up in Wichita, Kansas during the era of the Big Bands. He loved to listen to Fats Waller, Barney Bigard, Coleman Hawkins and others on the radio and as a teenager went to live performances whenever he could. He began collecting records in high school but in order to find what interested him, he had to search in second hand stores and in obsolete stock from juke box operators because the music was out of print. Koester was collecting both jazz and blues. Out of high school he enrolled in cinematography at St. Louis University because he had ambitions to be a film maker. He began selling records out of his dormitory room and joined a jazz club in St. Louis. At the jazz club he met Ron Fister who was also a record collector and they formed K & F Sales which evolved into a record store named Blue Note Record Shop. After a year in business, Fister and Koester agreed to split up the inventory and Koester opened a record store on Delmar Street. In 1953, Koester started the Delmar record label at the age of 21, named after the street. Because he was threatened with a lawsuit, Koester had to change the name of the label to Delmark in the early 60’s. The first artists on Delmar were the Windy City Six a vintage jazz group that was based in St.
