  • “Take a Whiff on Me”: Leadbelly‟S Library of Congress Recordings 1933-1942 — an Assessment
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by SAS-SPACE Blues & Rhythm, No. 59, March-April 1991, pp. 16-20; No. 60, May 1991, pp. 18-21 revised with factual corrections, annotations and additions, with details regarding relevant ancillary CDs, and tables identifying germane CD and LP releases of Leadbelly‘s recordings for the Library of Congress; and those for the American Record Corporation in 1935 “Take A Whiff On Me”: Leadbelly‟s Library of Congress Recordings 1933-1942 — An Assessment John Cowley From the mid-1960s, a small trickle of long-playing records appeared featuring black music from the holdings of the Archive of Folk Culture (formerly Archive of Folk Song) at the Library of Congress, in Washington, D.C. A few were produced by the Archive itself but, more often than not, arrangement with record companies was the principal method by which this material became available. One of the earliest collections of this type was a three-album boxed set drawn from the recordings made for the Archive by Huddie Ledbetter — Leadbelly — issued by Elektra in 1966. Edited by Lawrence Cohn, this compilation included a very useful booklet, with transcriptions of the songs and monologues contained in the albums, a résumé of Leadbelly‘s career, and a selection of important historical photographs. The remainder of Leadbelly‘s considerable body of recordings for the Archive, however, was generally unavailable, unless auditioned in Washington, D.C. In the history of vernacular black music in the U.S., Leadbelly‘s controversial role as a leading performer in white ‗folk‘ music circles has, for some, set him aside from other similar performers of his generation.

  • Rock the Blues Away
    ROCK THESE BLUES AWAY. The Recordings of John Lee Hooker since 1981 ROCK THESE BLUES AWAY The Recordings Of John Lee Hooker Since 1981 By Gary Hearn (Feb. 2006) Introduction In 1992 Les Fancout’s sessionography of John Lee Hooker – “Boogie Chillen” – was published in booklet form by Blues & Rhythm magazine (ed. Tony Burke). This pamphlet is intended to update Les’ work with all the known Hooker sessions since 1981. Though details on other, earlier, sessions have come to light through recent releases, I have excluded them from the scope of my research and it is left to others to publish those corrections and additions elsewhere. The recordings listed here come from the final phase of John’s career during what is known as the Rosebud era, the name of his management company. To my imperfect mind, the best – and darkest – of them found release on the “Boom Boom” album put out by Pointblank in 1993. This was also a period when blues artists were called upon to provide benevolent cameos to artists better known in the mainstream. John took part in many such sessions with varying degrees of success; whatever the finished product, his contributions were immediately recognisable. The compact discs in this survey are, as far as I can tell, the first UK issue shown listed in order of catalogue number for ease of cross-reference to the sessionography. Because record companies re-issue, re-package and licence their recordings, subsequent issues are not considered. None of the cd-singles listed are still available and are shown merely in evidence of the penetration of the “John Lee Hooker” brand.

    Forum on Public Policy The Third Culture—A Conversation About Truth And Reconciliation: An African Americanist’s Reflection On The “Two Cultures” Debate In Post-Modern Society Josephine R.B. Wright, Professor of Music and The Josephine Lincoln Morris Professor of Black Studies, and Chair, Department of Africana Studies, The College of Wooster Abstract C. P. Snow launched the "Two Cultures" debate in 1959 during the Cold War era. While lamenting a widening gulf in communication between scientists and literary theorists, he championed the supremacy of scientific inquiry over canonical Western European literary traditions of his day. Globalization has forced many academics in the United States to (re)think how they prepare students today for leadership in a world overwhelmingly populated by peoples of non-European ancestry. At stake in this debate is the political contention over culture--specifically, whose culture is more valued than others and whose culture will be privileged in contemporary society. Such a topic should command greater attention within the academy, if we as educators hope to promote better understanding by students of diverse peoples and cultures around the world. One marker of globalization has been the widespread exportation of African-American music from the United States, a phenomenon documented as early as the antebellum period. Most black American musical traditions before 1960 evolved historically within a defined social-political framework of racial oppression, and any attempt to isolate the music from these realities obfuscates its connection to a collective history that all Americans at some level share. (Re)examination and "interrogation" of accessible historical documents (often selectively suppressed in standard American textbooks) help promote a "Third Culture." Such inquiry lays bare the irony/ contradiction of excluding widely exported repertories of music, arguably the principal representations of what is uniquely “American,” from Western canonical traditions.

    Falk Seminar papers in Research in Music History 2007 Wall! "Captivated" Mus ic of Louisiana State Penitentiary by Sarah Wall Falk Seminar Dr. Brockett April 25, 2007 WaU2 Popular mus i c is sometimes viewed as a fleeting phenomenon that has little musicological-his torical s ignificance. However, Ame rican society i s obsessed with this nmusic of the masses" and has historically utilized the music's wide-spread influence as a method for expressing social and po litical issues. Popul a r music artists and songwr iter s , l i ke any other artists or writers, are i nf l uenced dramatically by their own lives and environments. One type of envi r onment, that remains l argely unpublicized and unexplored, exists in the prisons of the United States. Prison music has long been of interest to ethnomusicologists for the simple reason of its isolation from t he major i nf l ue nc e of popular culture. Within the confines of prison wal l s , musical development f lourishes, uninhibitedly resonating from the mouths of unlikely l ove r s of the aural art. America's souther n penitentiaries were the specific source of such i nt e res t for e thnomusicologists Harry Oster, and John and Alan Lomax. These three specialists, who conducted their work du ring the f i rst hal f of the t went i eth century, were a l l i nt rigued by t he musical cult ure that developed without knowledge or permission from the outside world. 1 The Louisiana State Penitentiary was one of the I Despitethe efforts of the government afterthe American Civil War to reconstruct the southern states, Louisiana remained inpoverty.

  • Département D'histoire Faculté Des Lettres Et Sciences Humaines
    Département d’histoire Faculté des lettres et sciences humaines Université de Sherbrooke Le blues des prisonniers à Angola (1930-1960) : mécanisme de survie, d’émancipation et d’espoir par Jacqueline Garriss Mémoire présenté pour obtenir la Maîtrise ès arts (Histoire) Université de Sherbrooke 2017 RÉSUMÉ Cette recherche vise l’étude des chants de style blues enregistrés à la plantation pénale Angola (Pénitencier d’État de la Louisiane) en 1934 par l’ethnomusicologue John Avery Lomax et en 1959 par l’ethnomusicologue Harry Oster. Angola est synonyme de violence, d’abus et de racisme à l’endroit des prisonniers afro-américains, tout en répliquant le modèle esclavagiste. Les détenus travaillent de longues heures dans les champs, sous le soleil brûlant de la Louisiane. Ils y sont mal nourris, mal logés, fouettés et ne sont pas rémunérés pour leur labeur. Lorsque Lomax et Oster visitent le pénitencier, ils trouvent un système calqué sur l’esclavage, et documentent le blues qui y est joué. Cette musique, comme les chants des esclaves sur les anciennes plantations, témoigne de la réalité afro- américaine dans le Sud des États-Unis. Elle parle du désespoir, de la violence, de l’injustice, de l’abandon et de l’impuissance, mais elle est aussi un puissant témoignage de l’espoir et de la résilience afro-américaine. Ces chants permettent de reconstruire partiellement la vie de certains détenus, pour qui les enregistrements réalisés par Oster demeurent les seules preuves tangibles de leur existence. Cette recherche vise à redonner une voix, par le biais de la musique, à ces hommes marginalisés et oubliés de la prison Angola.

Swiatlowski: The Sound of Ethnic America: Prewar “Foreign-Language” Records and the Sonics of US Citizenship (Under the direction of Jocelyn R. Neal) This dissertation explores the juncture of sound and citizenship to consider how the boundaries of nation are maintained at both geospatial and cultural borders. Specifically, the project concerns “foreign-language” recordings made by US recording companies prior to World War II (hereafter, prewar). With the onset of war in Europe in 1914, “foreign-language” recordings were increasingly cut domestically, featuring vernacular performers of the Great Wave of immigration that brought Hungarian, Syrian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Polish, Mexican, Chinese, and Japanese peoples, alongside a host of other nationalities, to the US beginning in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Initially marketed to specific immigrant populations in the US, these recordings eventually became the province of postwar record collectors and the reissue music market by the 1970s. The narrative of the project draws much of its power by connecting their discrete moments of circulation with the political realities that shaped their audition. As such, the project examines the interplay between, what I call, the “national vernacular imaginary” and state policy in regards to immigration and citizenship.
