    Blues Rock Star Joe Bonamassa Announces Highly Anticipated New Studio Album

    BLUES-ROCK STAR JOE BONAMASSA ANNOUNCES NEW SINGLE "TIME CLOCKS" TAKEN FROM HIS NEW STUDIO ALBUM 'TIME CLOCKS' TO BE RELEASED OCT 29 PRE-ORDER “TIME CLOCKS” https://smarturl.it/JoeB-MLG LISTEN TO THE “TIME CLOCKS” SINGLE HERE: https://smarturl.it/JoeBonamassa WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO FOR “TIME CLOCKS” HERE: https://youtu.be/Z7116ryQV-I Guitar legend Joe Bonamassa today reveals his stunningly sweeping new single, "Time Clocks." This is the third song taken from his forthcoming brand-new studio album of the same name, released on October 29 via Provogue (Europe) and J&R Adventures (North America). Joe continues his soul-searching evolution on this beautifully poignant Bonamassa-Shirley penned song. At just over seven minutes long, it has all the epic musical grandeur of him at his most expressive and ambitious. With a heart on sleeve narrative weaving its way throughout, the rousing chorus rises to the heavens as he sings, "and the rain soaking through my coat, about to capsize my boat I push it along away from the docks, I was never a good puncher of time clocks." Backed with cascading vocals from Juanita Tippins and Prinnie Stevens, as well as the supreme musicianship of Anton Fig (Drums), Steve Mackey (Bass), Lachy Doley (Piano/Organ) and Kevin Shirley (Percussion), it has an aura of pure timelessness. The album was recorded in New York City and took Joe back to his early roots and rediscovers him at a newfound peak with an unparalleled Blues Rock prowess. Known as the man in the suit, loved by many as the ultimate guitar hero, and cited by critics as "the world's biggest blues guitarist" (Guitar World), somehow the music mastermind has found yet another layer of immense new artistry to share with his fans.

    “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.

    Rose La Rose and the Re-Ownership of American Burlesque, 1935-1972

    TAUGHT IT TO THE TRADE: ROSE LA ROSE AND THE RE-OWNERSHIP OF AMERICAN BURLESQUE, 1935-1972 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Elizabeth Wellman Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Jennifer Schlueter, Advisor Beth Kattelman Joy Reilly Copyright by Elizabeth Wellman 2015 ABSTRACT Declaring burlesque dead has been a habit of the twentieth century. Robert C. Allen quoted an 1890s letter from the first burlesque star of the American stage, Lydia Thompson in Horrible Prettiness: Burlesque and American Culture (1991): “[B]urlesque as she knew it ‘has been retired for a time,’ its glories now ‘merely memories of the stage.’”1 In 1931, Bernard Sobel opined in Burleycue: An Underground History of Burlesque Days, “Alas! You will never get a chance to see one of the real burlesque shows again. They are gone forever…”2 In 1938, The Billboard published an editorial that began, “On every hand the cry is ‘Burlesque is dead.’”3 In fact, burlesque had been declared dead so often that editorials began popping up insisting it could be revived, as Joe Schoenfeld’s 1943 op-ed in Variety did: “[It] may be in a state of putrefaction, but it is a lusty and kicking decomposition.”4 It is this “lusty and kicking decomposition” which characterizes the published history of burlesque. Since its modern inception in the late nineteenth century, American burlesque has both been framed and framed itself within this narrative of degeneration.
