    STEVE CROPPER facebook.com/stevecropper twitter.com/officialcropper Image not found or type unknown youtube.com/channel/UCQk6gXkhbUNnhgXHaARGskg playitsteve.com en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Cropper open.spotify.com/artist/1gLCO8HDtmhp1eWmGcPl8S If Yankee Stadium is “the house that Babe Ruth built,” Stax Records is “the house that Booker T, and the MG’s built.” Integral to that potent combination is MG rhythm guitarist extraordinaire Steve Cropper. As a guitarist, A & R man, engineer, producer, songwriting partner of Otis Redding, Eddie Floyd and a dozen others and founding member of both Booker T. and the MG’s and The Mar-Keys, Cropper was literally involved in virtually every record issued by Stax from the fall of 1961 through year end 1970.Such credits assure Cropper of an honored place in the soul music hall of fame. As co-writer of (Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay, Knock On Wood and In The Midnight Hour, Cropper is in line for immortality. Born on October 21, 1941 on a farm near Dora, Missouri, Steve Cropper moved with his family to Memphis at the age of nine. In Missouri he had been exposed to a wealth of country music and little else. In his adopted home, his thirsty ears amply drank of the fountain of Gospel, R & B and nascent Rock and Roll that thundered over the airwaves of both black and white Memphis radio. Bit by the music bug, Cropper acquired his first mail order guitar at the age of 14. Personal guitar heroes included Tal Farlow, Chuck Berry, Jimmy Reed, Chet Atkins, Lowman Pauling of the Five Royales and Billy Butler of the Bill Doggett band.

  • Frances the Mute Storyline
    Frances the mute storyline The next song L'via l'viaquez tells the story about Frances sister L'via that hides from the church or whatever because she watched the priest. It's a concept album of sorts, but since nothing with the Mars Volta is ever simple, Frances the Mute isn't a concept easily explained. Not that the band won't try. Frances the Mute is the second studio album by American progressive rock band The Mars In the Q & Mojo Classic Special Edition Pink Floyd & The Story of Prog Rock, the album came #18 in its list of "40 Cosmic Rock Albums" and the.

  • The Mars Volta (US)
    2007-11-21 13:53 CET The Mars Volta (US) 19 februari - Oslo, Sentrum 20 februari - Stockholm, Cirkus Om ditt inre ”bra- musik-alarm” inte går av när du ser namnen Omar Rodriguez-Lopez och Cedric Bixler-Zavala är du i gravt behov av en hälsokontroll. Det är nämligen de två genialiska männen som utgör The Mars Volta, världens kanske mest kreativt fulländade band. Rodriguez-Lopez skriver musiken och spelar gitarr och Bixler-Zavala skriver text och sjunger i det här exceptionella och egensinniga partnerskapet. 2002 släppte bandet sin första EP och sedan dess har man hunnit med allt det där vanliga som framgångsrika band gör, man turnerar, spelar in och genomlever det nödvändiga onda i mediekontakter men tillskillnad från andra projekt så urholkas inte The Mars Volta. För det som utgör särskiljningens logik i fallet Volta, är konceptualiseringen. Ja, du läste rätt. Dom gör konceptplattor, precis som alla dom där lite halv- pretentiösa banden på 70-talet älskade att göra. Första fullängdaren var en hyllning till Bixler-Zavala och Rodriguez-Lopez ungdomsårs mentor i El Paso, Texas. Deras hjälte Julio Venegas var en lokal konstnär som begick självmord 1996. På skivan, som heter ”De-Loused In The Comatorium” berättas om den fiktiva Cerpin Taxt som hamnar i koma efter ett misslyckat självmordsförsök och upplever mirakulösa händelser i sina drömmar. På platta nummer två fortsatte männen att arbeta efter sitt framgångsrecept. ”Frances the Mute” från 2005, berättar historien om Frances och protagonisten Cygnus i ett sci-fi- osande narrativ. Historien är inspirerad av texter ur en dagbok men var bara stoftet som sådde fröt till Bixler-Zavalas vilda fantasifoster.

  • Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings
    Jazz Collection: Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings Dienstag, 28.04.2020, 21.00 – 22.00 Uhr Radio SRF 2 Kultur Samstag, 02.05.2020, 17.06 – 18.30 Uhr (mit Bonustracks) Die Retro-Zauberformel Als Sharon Jones, die afroamerikanische Sängerin, vom weissen Bassisten Gabriel Roth entdeckt wurde, hatte sie die Idee einer echten Karriere eigentlich schon begraben. Aber Roths Vorstellung eines Retro-Sounds, aufgenommen mit Vintage-Instrumenten auf Band, passte perfekt zur Stimme von Sharon Jones. Und das gemeinsam gegründete Label Daptones mit der Hausband, den Dap Kings, wurde mit genau dieser Stimme zu einer regelrechten Zauberformel. Kaum eine andere Band tönt so satt und crèmig wie Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings. Kaum eine andere Band arrangiert und produziert so sorgfältig wie diese. Warum das so ist, und was der Vorteil ist, wenn man ein zehnköpfiges Ensemble auf engstem Raum mit nur wenigen Mikrophonen aufnimmt, das diskutiert der Musikredaktor Roman Hosek in der Jazz Collection mit Jodok Hess.
