  • “Statesboro Blues”—Blind Willie Mctell (1928) Added to the National Registry: 2015 Essay by Brian Bader
    “Statesboro Blues”—Blind Willie McTell (1928) Added to the National Registry: 2015 Essay by Brian Bader Blind Willie McTell Blind Willie McTell was born May 5, 1901 in Thomson, Georgia. Though there is some uncertainty about his birth year, his comparatively long life (he died on Aug. 19, 1959, in Milledgeville, Georgia), his prolific recording career, the memories of numerous acquaintances, and McTell’s own recorded reminiscences, allow for a full picture of his life. His skillful fingerpicking guitar style ranks high with the playing of other acoustic blues artists, both blind (Blind Boy Fuller, Blind Blake, Reverend Gary Davis) and sighted (Josh White, Brownie McGhee). Hard to categorize, McTell embodied Piedmont blues, as well as ragtime, and gospel/spiritual/religious music, and may best be described as a mid-twentieth century American songster. One of his tunes--“covered,” or more accurately freely adapted, in a powerful electric blues rendition by the Allman Brothers Band-- is his legacy. This number most familiar to modern blues and rock fans: “Statesboro Blues.” Recorded by McTell and self-accompanied on twelve- string guitar in 1928 for Victor records, it showcases his distinctive voice and his talented guitar playing. The Allman Brothers later credited their cover of the song to “Will McTell” on their live two-record album “At Filmore East” released in 1971 on Capricorn Records. Guitarists Duane Allman (using a slide) and Dickey Betts cut loose with their trademark twin lead guitar line up in a memorable reading as a jumping blues shuffle. In an analysis of the history of “Statesboro Blues,” however, it is important to note that between the McTell recording and the Allman Brothers, there is a version from 1968 by Taj Mahal on his debut album.

    im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 01805 - 060347 90476 [email protected] Das klassische Bestseller-Album "Brothers And Sisters" der Allman Brothers Band erscheint am 5. Juli 2013 remastert auf CD und Vinyl By the time they released their fifth album Brothers And Sisters in August 1973, the Allman Brothers Band had experienced dizzying highs and soul-crushing lows. The group had spent its first two years developing its formidable collective chemistry into an unprecedented stylistic fusion that established it as the era’s most influential American rock act. But just as the band had achieved a hard-won commercial breakthrough with 1971’s At Fillmore East, it suffered a devastating loss with the death of Duane Allman, its founder, leader and musical visionary, in a motorcycle crash on October 29, 1971. Following Duane’s traumatic passing, the band regained its bearings and soldiered on, with Duane’s brother, singer/organist Gregg Allman, and guitarist/vocalist Dickey Betts—now the lone axeman in an act famous for its dual-guitar fireworks—assuming more prominent roles in its direction. The musicians marshaled their strengths to make Brothers and Sisters—their first album recorded completely without Duane—a decisive creative rebirth as well as their best-selling release to date. Brothers And Sisters bested the sales of At Fillmore East and Eat A Peach, spending five weeks at #1 and becoming the first Allman Brothers Band release to gain Platinum sales status.

    im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 01805 - 060347 90476 [email protected] Anlässlich des 45-jährigen Bandjubiläums der ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND erscheint ihr zweites Album “Idlewild South” als geremasterte CD, 2CD-Deluxe und 3CD+Blu-ray Audio Super Deluxe Version Deluxe/Super Deluxe Versionen mit verworfenen Aufnahmen, abweichenden Versionen und dem kompletten Konzert ‘Live at Ludlow Garage’ Am 23. September jährte sich die Veröffentlichung des zweiten Albums der Allman Brothers Band auf Atco & Capricorn Records zum 45. Mal. Idlewild South war der Nachfolger ihres selbstbetitelten Debüts von 1969 und während dieses kommerziell nur wenig erfolgreich war, erarbeitete sich die Band mit ihren zahlreichen Konzerten und Tourneen doch eine Menge Aufmerksamkeit, was schließlich dazu führte, dass Eric Clapton Duane Allman für sein Album mit Derek and the Dominos (1970) rekrutierte, welches auch den Song “Layla” hervorbrachte. Idlewild South war das erste Album, das in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Produzenten Tom Dowd entstand und aufgrund des hektischen Tourplans fanden die Aufnahmen in verschiedenen Studios statt, z. B. in New York, Miami und Macon, Georgia, dem neuen Zuhause der Band. Die meisten Songs, darunter auch zwei ihrer legendärsten – “Midnight Rider” von Gregg Allman und Kim Payne und “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” von Dickey Betts – wurden zuvor live getestet. Der Albumtitel kommt von der heruntergekommenen, einsamen Hütte, in der die Band probte und feierte. Das Farmhaus, welches sie für die stattliche Summe von 165 Dollar im Monat mieteten, lag am Ufer eines künstlichen Sees außerhalb von Macon und weil es dort zuging wie in einem Taubenschlag, verglich die Band es mit dem gleichnamigen New Yorker Flughafen (mittlerweile John F.

  • Introduction What Is Southern Rock?
    Introduction What Is Southern Rock? It seems essential to define the term “southern rock” before one can write about it. This is necessary in order to plan what goes into the text and what gets left out. So what exactly is southern rock? Trying to define it is tantamount to going down the proverbial rab- bit hole. It’s a slippery, nebulous term that can mean almost anything. On its face it appears to imply rock music from the 1970s that came from the South, but that could include anything from Wet Willie to Marshall Tucker to Lynyrd Skynyrd, acts that have little in common stylistically or sound-wise. Author Scott B. Bomar states that the term “southern rock” was first used in the early 1970s by Mo Slotin, a writer for the Atlanta un- derground paper Great Speckled Bird in a review of an Allman Brothers Band concert.1 But the phrase didn’t come into broad usage until Al Kooper incorporated the concept into the name of his Atlanta-based record label, Sounds of the South, before he signed Lynyrd Skynyrd. Kooper was one of the first—along with Phil Walden of Capricorn Re- cords, founded in 1969—to realize that southern talent was something that might be codified and commodified. It happened that Skynyrd fit nicely into Kooper’s concept. Some people argue that southern rock is an amalgam of rock, blues, and country, dominated by electric guitars. However, applying this · 1 · definition, the early “rockabilly” acts out of Memphis—Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis—along with Chuck Berry, Buddy Knox, and Buddy Holly might also qualify as southern rockers.
