  • Sweet and Dirty a Collaboration of Sweet Brenda and Dirty Red Band Bios
    Sweet and Dirty A collaboration of Sweet Brenda and Dirty Red Band Bios When Dirty Red – Eric McDaniel – leader of modern day powerhouse band, Dirty Red and the Soul Shakers invited legendary Oklahoma Blues Singer, Sweet Brenda – Bren Severson – on stage the first time to sit in with the band, a lightning bolt of electricity melded them together and shot their sound and energy into an unsuspecting blues audience that soaked it up like fireball whiskey on freaky Saturday night. From that moment this energetic collaboration has caused quite a stirring in the blues scene. Both musicians have made a name for themselves across the blues nation with experience and expertise that speaks for itself. When all of that is combined with the background and expertise of the rest of the band, a stage full of all-stars is born. Besides the giant personalities of Dirty Red and Sweet Brenda, the scary tight rhythm section of Cliff the “Iron Man” Belcher and Forrest Worrell, both of Watermelon Slim and the Workers fame, and the lonesome but ripping tasty blues guitar of Big Robb Hibbard, former lead for Miss Blues and the Blue Notes, put the icing on the cake. Add to all of that, the fact that Dirty Red and Sweet Brenda both write all the songs with soulful and pertinent lyrics written for all people, and a jolting beat that never stops, the dance floor is full and crazy, the room is packed with a punch of energy and the blues appetite is wildly satisfied. Sweet and Dirty is a collaboration of blues monsters bragging over 130 years of performance altogether culminating into this fabulous high- energy show.

  • 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.

  • SOUL ASYLUM Biography by Arthur Levy
    SOUL ASYLUM biography by Arthur Levy “It’s a crazy mixed up world out there, Someone’s always got a gun and it’s all about money You live with loneliness, or you live with somebody who’s crazy It’s just a crazy mixed up world …” (“Crazy Mixed Up World”) Chapter 1. Every Cloud Has One Renewed and revitalized, Soul Asylum founders Dave Pirner and Dan Murphy return to rock’s front line with THE SILVER LINING, their first new studio release since 1998’s Candy From a Stranger. That album inadvertently kicked off a seven-year sabbatical for the group, which telescoped into the death of bassist Karl Mueller in June 2005, the other founding member of the triumvirate that has steered Soul Asylum through rock’s white water for the past two decades plus. The re-emergence of the group on THE SILVER LINING is as much a reaffirmation of Soul Asylum’s commitment to the music as it is a dedication to Karl, who worked and played on the album right up until the end. They were joined in the studio by not-so-new heavyweight Minneapolis drummer Michael Bland (who has played with everyone from Paul Westerberg to Prince). The band is now complemented by Tommy Stinson on bass, a member of fellow Twin Cities band the Replacements since age 13, and a pal of Dan’s since he was in high school and Tommy in junior high. Tommy was the only friend that Karl could endorse to replace himself in the band. This hard-driving lineup was introduced for the first time in October 2005, when they played sold-out showcase dates at First Avenue in Minneapolis and the Bowery Ballroom in New York – within three days.

  • Levon Helm -- the Classic Drummer Interview
    Levon Helm The Classic Drummer Interview by Bob Girouard photo by Paul La Raia No one plays drums or sings a song like Levon Helm…..no one. He’s in a select club of musical pioneers that have cut across time and trends; legend and fact being one and the same. In a way he’s the everyman; a true American original and his impact on popular music over the past five decades is in a category unto itself. Helm is undeniably a larger than life Sonny Boy Williamson on KFFA, The Drawing from his own influences, persona, yet at the same time humble to Grand Ole Opry on WSM, Rhythm & Levon set the gold standard by creating a fault.

  • Bill Withers Comes Back Into the Spotlight for Carnegie Hall Tribute (Downbeat.Com, 10/6/15)
    Bill Withers Comes Back Into The Spotlight for Carnegie Hall Tribute (DownBeat.com, 10/6/15) Is there a happier refugee from the music business than singer-songwriter Bill Withers? The ex-Navy aircraft mechanic from dirt-poor Slab Fork, West Virginia, who got his first record contract in his thirties, was never a showbiz kid. He famously distrusted the business, keeping his day job as his first hit single, “Ain’t No Sunshine,” climbed the charts. Withers went on to write more hits, including the ubiquitous “Lean On Me.” By October 1972, a mere 15 months after he quit his day job, Withers was playing Carnegie Hall, a performance immortalized on the album Bill Withers Live at Carnegie Hall. Eventually he got disgusted with the record business, retired in 1985, and has lived contentedly at his home in the Hollywood Hills ever since, collecting a steady stream of royalties and, as he told Stephen Colbert recently, watching “Judge Judy.” This year has been very good to Withers. In April he was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame. And on October 1, almost precisely 43 years to the day after his initial Carnegie Hall show, he was the subject of an all-star tribute concert at the same venue, a benefit for the Stuttering Association for Youth, or SAY (Withers stuttered until his mid-twenties). The concert producers, including City Winery’s Michael Dorf, assembled a parade of first-class R&B, pop and jazz talent to perform the Withers songbook, including Gregory Porter, Branford Marsalis, Ed Sheeran, Dr.

    Forord I det jeg gikk inn i prosessen med å velge tema hadde jeg en baktanke om å finne noe som ikke var så nøye utforsket fra før. Jeg hadde også et ønske om å finne et interessant og appellerende tema som kunne dekke mine interesser for både trommer, musikkutøvelse og svart musikk. Valget falt på en trommeslager som spilte på hitlåt etter hitlåt på 1960- og 1970-tallet, og som i nyere tid ikke har fått så mye oppmerksomhet. Denne oppgaven vil derfor handle om trommeslageren Al Jackson Jr., mest kjent fra sin tid i Stax Records, som en del av husbandet Booker T & the MGs. Takk til veileder, professor John Howland, for verdifulle innspill og tips, utømmelig faglig kunnskap, og en genuin interesse for temaet. Takk også til Stine og Frans for all tålmodighet og støtte i prosessen med å fullføre denne oppgaven.
