When the four- Bridging the gap between the early acoustic blues of the Mississippi Delta of the 1920s and the rediscovery piece band gets its groove on, you can hear the foot-tapping acoustic-electric sounds from the era of of so-called "folk" or country blues by white audiences in the '60s, Furry Lewis was both a unique stylist and a rockabilly, Nashville country and western, early rock and roll, and of course, classic Chicago blues. And in throwback to the sound of an earlier era. Equally capable of playing guitar with an original fingerpicked style the midst of the traditional shuffle tempos and rich vocals, Davey J also uses processing tools of the 21st as well as delivering a mean slide-guitar sound, Lewis was a charismatic storyteller and a flamboyant century to add an edge to his acoustic guitar sound.

Their records were central in transforming Black popular music. The "downhome" aesthetic they popularized was a significant stylistic departure from previous Race records. The prevalent notion that downhome expression was an always already foundational Black expression complicates its association with blindness and the moment of its popularity in 1926. The downhome became a liminal space on records featuring performances by blind musicians for audiences affected by institutional racism as well as increased acts of racial terror. Relegating blindness to the downhome was extremely popular, and was also a disabling and inaccurate representation.

  • Jug Band Music
    Jug Band Music by Michael “Hawkeye” Herman The good timey sounds of jug band music – infectious and influential – have enjoyed popularity since its beginnings in the “spasm” and “novelty” bands that developed in New Orleans in the late 19th and early 20th Century. The spasm bands not only featured improvisation on a wide variety of standard musical instruments, but the instruments themselves were often homemade and improvised – like the jug in place of a tuba or upright bass. Hence the name, “Jug Band.” Homemade instruments like the jug, washboard, spoons, and one-string ‘bucket’ bass have a long tradition in both early African American and white American cultures. These early New Orleans jug bands expanded to other regions like Memphis and Louisville by the turn of the 20th Century, playing jazz and blues long before the music was recognized and labeled as such. Jug bands played on the Ohio and Mississippi riverboat paddle wheelers and in many southern night clubs. They were in vaudeville, on the streets, and in traveling medicine shows. These bands created a colorful and exciting aspect to country blues, classic jazz, country & western, and hillbilly musics. In the 1920s, some of the first jug bands to record were: Clifford Hayes (Louisville Jug Band, Old Southern Jug Band, and Dixieland Jug Blowers); Earl McDonald (The Ballard Chefs, the Original Louisville Jug Band); Buford Threlkeld (Whistler’s Jug Band); and the Birmingham Jug Band of Ben Curry (aka Ben Covington) and Jaybird Coleman. Many of these bands played popular dance band jazz, using the jug as a novelty element.

  • Dan Willging, Feb.-March 2021 Holler
    Mad Dog Blues Family Reunion 2020 Independent Review by Dan Willging Mark ‘Mad Dog’ Friedman has always had a burning passion for acoustic country blues, but it wasn’t until a few pivotal events that Mad Dog Blues (MDB) came together in 2017 with mandolinist Jeff Becker and acoustic bassist Clark Chanslor. The group really gelled in October ‘18 with the addition of Sean Bennight (acoustic guitar/mandolin). MDB grew once more when acoustic guitarist Big Willy Palmer joined its ranks completing the sextet for this recording. As evidenced by this ambitious double-disc spanning 24 tracks, there’s an unmistakable brotherhood that’s more than just being the Mad Dog show. Every member sang and wrote/co-wrote at least one tune, with Mad Dog having the lion’s share with 14. Except for Chanslor, who sang only background vocals, everyone else had a shot at lead vocals. Disc one is imagined in the string band era of country blues, though, admittedly, MDB stretches the concept to fit its own strengths and personality. Splendid mandolin and guitar flatpicking are prevalent throughout, with many songs featuring call-and-response between instruments ̶ most notably between guitarists Bennight and guest Doug Moldawsky. Other highlights include Mad Dog’s passionate vocal performance on the drifty “My Will is Gone” and Bennight’s humorous blues-rag “Hangman.” Here, the protagonist pleads to be hanged anywhere except in Kansas (the crime scene), even if it’s just across the state line. As with the country blues, 12-bar blues isn’t the norm, but “Good Morning Blues” is the best example of that chord progression.

  • Black Musicians in String-Bands in the American South, 1920 – 1950
    Strings Attached: Black Musicians in String-bands in the American South, 1920 – 1950 By Kathleen A. Danser A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music University of Alberta © Kathleen A. Danser, 2018 ii ABSTRACT Black musicians in string-bands in the American South during the period 1920–1950 were remarkably resilient to social, political, and cultural forces while also actively creating cultural products. The breadth of their musical activities and networks of interconnectivity expands our knowledge and indicates significant contributions to black cultural productions during this period of time. Their imprint on the fabric of American popular music is indelible, characterized by adaptive, innovative, and creative practices. Centering this discussion on black musicians and their activities in string-bands highlights their diversity as it relates to genre, musicianship, and the navigation of varied performance spaces. Black musicians who performed in string-bands had highly developed skills on their instruments and were recognized as experts on their instru- ments and as professionals in the music industry. Those with long music careers had deep networks of connections to and mentorship from other professional musicians, along with a flexible repertoire that would allow them to adapt to any audience in any context, a performative stratagem, an understanding of how to prolong their lives as independent musicians, and the freedom to travel. The early musical career of Gus “Banjo Joe” Cannon from Clarksdale, Mississippi and, later, nearby Memphis, Tennessee is one example iii of many who demonstrate the aforementioned qualities and focus this dissertation.
