  • King Biscuit Time”--Sonny Boy Williamson II and Others (1965) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Edward Komara (Guest Post)*
    “King Biscuit Time”--Sonny Boy Williamson II and others (1965) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Edward Komara (guest post)* Sonny Boy Williamson II This King Biscuit show is about flour and the blues, not about flowers and rock music. “King Biscuit Time” was born when the blues harmonica master Sonny Boy Williamson (1899- 1965, born Aleck Miller) visited the newly opened KFFA radio studios in Helena, Arkansas. Seeing radio as a means of promoting his upcoming performances, Williamson pitched the idea of a regular show during the noon hour when his working audiences were taking their lunch breaks. KFFA agreed, securing Max Moore, owner of the Interstate Grocer Company and King Biscuit Flour, as the sponsor. “King Biscuit Time” debuted on November 21, 1941 at 12:15 pm, with Williamson and guitarist Robert Lockwood playing for 15 minutes. The success was immediate, allowing the musicians to maintain their time-slot every weekday. They were so successful that, in 1947, while the company’s flour bag continued to have its crown, the corn meal bag began to feature a likeness of Williamson sitting on an ear of corn. As the show continued through the 1940s, additional musicians were brought in to create a band behind Williamson. Chief among them were guitarists Joe “Willie” Wilkins, Earl Hooker and Houston Stackhouse, pianists Robert “Dudlow” Taylor, Willie Love and Pinetop Perkins, and drummer Peck Curtis. During the early broadcasts, Sam Anderson and Hugh Smith served as announcers. John William “Sonny” Payne filled in once in 1941, but he returned in 1951, staying on as the “King Biscuit Time” host until his death in 2018.

THE SAME OLD BLUES CRAP: SELLING THE BLUES AT FAT POSSUM RECORDS A Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the Master of Arts in Southern Studies The University of Mississippi JACQUI SAHAGIAN MAY 2018 Copyright © 2018 by Jacqui Sahagian All rights reserved ABSTRACT This thesis interrogates the marketing strategies of the Oxford, Mississippi-based record label Fat Possum, which was founded in the early 1990s by Matthew Johnson with the goal of recording obscure hill country blues artists. Fat Possum gained recognition for its raw-sounding recordings of bluesmen, including R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, Cedell Davis, and T-Model Ford, as well as its irreverent marketing techniques. Adopting the tagline “not the same old blues crap,” Fat Possum asserted that its blues were both different from and superior to all other blues music. This thesis argues that while Fat Possum claimed to be a disruptive force in the blues world, the label actually repeated marketing strategies that have been used to sell the blues since the genre was first sold during the 1920s race records era.

  • Why You Don't Want to Miss It
    WHY YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS IT KING BISCUIT BLUES FESTIVAL OVERVIEW: Presented in the fertile birthplace of Delta blues on the banks of the Mississippi River on land where cotton is king and the blues artists sing, The Biscuit this year fills in the threads between the never to be forgotten legacy of native sons Sonny Boy Williamson and James Cotton with an unparalleled lineup that’s the best of the best from the past, present and future of the blues. WHAT’S SPECIAL ABOUT 2017: This year’s line-up is the sweet spot that presents the blues in all its permutations: Saturday’s headliner Gov’t Mule is a fundamental link between the blues fathers and their contemporary sons and daughters, while Thursday’s headliner Tab Benoit (“the voice of the wetlands”) is the standard bearer of a new generation of Cajun blues musicians. Beyond that, you have the blend of performers like Sonny Burgess, who rubbed shoulders with Elvis Presley in Arkansas clubs at the birth of rock and roll and Bob Margolin, Muddy Waters’ guitarist fresh off The Last Waltz 40th an- niversary tour. You have Paul Thorn who stole the show from B.B. King in 2010 and C.W. Gatlin, who played with Sam Carr and Helena’s own Frank Frost who brings a sense of true blues history with him. Add to that another four dozen performers, plus the opportunity to discover up-and-coming talent on the Rising Biscuit stage and from some of the grittiest busker street performances you’ll find anywhere.

    Essential Blues Harmonica Listening Artists, Albums, Essential Instrumentals, Books & Videos 5th Edition By: David Barrett – www.harmonicamasterclass.com Mark Hummel – www.markhummel.com Joe Filisko – www.customharmonicas.com Additions & Comments By: Paul deLay – www.pauldelay.com Rick Estrin – www.alligator.com/artists Charlie Lange – www.bluebeatmusic.com Listening and studying players is HUGELY important to the growth of all musicians. Studying blues harmonica means that you are studying the language of the blues: the licks, movement, phrasing and articulation that speak the sound and feel of the music. This is accomplished in one way—studying the masters. The more artists you study, the more your sound will be diverse and unique. Along with the fathers of blues harmonicas we will also mention essential modern players who are pushing the envelope of the traditional sound. Start your collection with the fathers of blues harmonica and continue to modern-day players. We recommend purchasing recordings in the general order they are listed (though any combination of artists in a grouping is fine) and pick up box sets when available. Look at the dates of each recording as you listen to get an idea of their place in history. Though it is not mentioned, most of the artists were also great singers and songwriters. This list covers mostly post-war players, though John Lee Williamson (who recorded from 1937 to 1947) was so influential to the players that followed him (many literally followed him gig to gig to learn harmonica) that he needs to be on this list. If you are interested in pre-war blues, check out Harmonica Masters, Classic Recordings from the 1920’s and 30’s (YaZoo 2019) and Harmonica Blues, Great Harmonica Performances of the 1920’s and 30’s (YaZoo 1053).
