  • Donald Duck Dunn Whilst We Continue Our Run of Looking
    Donald Duck Dunn Whilst we continue our run of looking at influential bassists, many readers may be unfamiliar with Donald ‘Duck’ Dunn, or so you may think. Ex.1 may change your mind about whether or not you are familiar with the brilliance of Duck Dunn. Ex.1 is obviously the theme to the Blues brothers movie, known as The Peter Gunn theme, many a new bassists first learnt tune (if you are still unfamiliar, immediately put the magazine down, and ask mum and dad if you are allowed to go and watch The Blues Brothers). Duck Dunn, a 1992 Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, is best known for pioneering the Stax sound, through his bottom end handywork with Booker T. & The M.G. ‘s. The M.G. ‘s were the house band for Stax records, a company that produced artists such as Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Rufus Thomas, Eddie Floyd, and William Bell. Dunn also layed it down for greats such As Elvis, Clapton and Neil Young. Whilst most of us are likely to be aware of the Motown sound, the not-quite-as-talked- about Stax sound was considered a less polished southern counterpart, to the Detroit based sound that James Jamerson pioneered. Many of Dunn’s lines are based around locking in a solid unwavering groove, often repetitive and simple 2 bar phrases, designed to get the head nodding and toes tapping. Dunn utilized a 58 P-bass strung with flats throughout his career, which Fender went on to develop as an artist series bass. In my opinion,Dunn defines the P bass sound, and whenever I try out a P-bass, Ex.2 is always the line I play to see how close a sound I can get to Dunn’s.

  • Steve Cropper | Primary Wave Music
    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.

  • Brand New Beat
    Ready for a BRAND NEW BEAT How “DANCING IN THE STREET” Became the Anthem for a Changing America MARK KURLANSKY Riverhead Books A member of Penguin Group (USA) Inc. New York 2013 C H APT E R O N E ARE YOU RE ADY? or my generation rock was not a controversy, it was a fact. F My earliest memory of rock ’n’ roll is Elvis Presley. For others it may be Bill Haley or Chuck Berry. For people born soon after World War II, rock ’n’ roll was a part of childhood. The rock- ers, especially Elvis, are remembered as controversies. But there was no controversy among the kids. They loved the songs, their sense of mischief and especially the driving beat. The controversy came from adults. Only adults attacked Elvis or rock ’n’ roll. The controversy was only in their minds—on their lips. It was the begin- ning of what came to be known as “the generation gap,” a phrase coined by Columbia University president Grayson Kirk in April 1968, shortly before students seized control of his campus. There has never been an American generation that so identified with its music, regarded it as its own, the way the Americans who grew up in the 1950s and 1960s did. The music that started as a subversive movement took over the culture and became a huge, commercially dominant industry. The greatest of the many seismic shifts in the music industry is that young people became the target audience. In no previous generation had the main thrust of popular music been an attempt to appeal to people in their teens.

  • The Heart of Rock and Soul by Dave Marsh
    The Heart of Rock and Soul by Dave Marsh 61 MAKING LOVE [AT THE DARK END OF THE STREET), Clarence Carter Produced by Rick Hall; written by Chips Moman, Dan Penn, and Clarence Carter Atlantic 2605 1969 Did not make pop chart In Southern soul the goal is to mingle the sexual into the spiritual so thoroughly that they can no longer be distinguished. No one has ever essayed the task more outrageously than Carter does in these four minutes of preaching and thirty seconds of singing. He begins at the beginning: With the birds and the bees, hilariously contrasting the sexual behavior of animals with the less straightforward procreative habits of human beings. "We like to get ourselves 'bout fifty cent worth of gas. And we like to drive waaay down a country road somewhere. Awww, and we like to make love in a car, children " says Carter, his voice rising to shout and then subsiding into one of his patented leering chuckles: "Heh, heh, heh." The music (orchestrated Muscle Shoals soul) swells; clown-time is over. Carter describes the deceptive habits of folks, male and female, who like to "slip around." Piano, horns, and drums practically sob with the resonance of his voice as he intones the final lines of his homily. I have heard Carter's spiel perhaps two hundred times and every time he reaches the climax, the hair on the back of my neck begins to tickle and goose bumps break out. It's not what he says so much as how. "Well, I tell ya, it makes no difference if you came from the city.

Most everything contained will be multiple CD sets, DVDs, CD/DVD sets, books and the like. Of course, you can always look though our back issues to see what came out in 2017 (and prior years), but none of us would want to attempt to decide which CDs would be a fitting ad- dition to this guide. As with 2016, the year 2017 was a bit on the lean side as far as reviews go of box sets, books and DVDs - it appears tht the days of mass quantities of boxed sets are over - but we do have some to check out. These are in no particular order in terms of importance or release dates.
