Worüber sich hingegen nicht streiten lässt, es sei denn, man ist ein völlig unmusikalischer und respektloser Bengel, ist die Bedeutung von Huddie Ledbetter, besser bekannt als Leadbelly. Er war der Goliath unter den Bluesern. Der Mann sang sich mehrfach mit der Zwölfsaitigen aus dem Knast. Und seine Evergreens werden seit Jahrzehnten von den verschiedensten Künstlern gecovert. Wer kennt nicht „Black Betty“ von Ram Jam? Und wer weiß, dass Leadbellys Original a capella gesungen wurde, ohne auch nur ein Jota weniger intensiv zu wirken? Wir haben uns fünf Hits aus Leadbellys Feder näher angeschaut und werfen einen Blick auf die Originale sowie jeweils eine Interpretation jüngeren Datums.

  • Popular Music and Politics: In, Against and Beyond Identity
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Huddersfield Repository Popular Music and Politics: In, Against and Beyond Identity Jessica Sylvia Winterson A thesis submitted to the University of Huddersfield in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Huddersfield September 2018 Abstract The research establishes radical modes of theorising for an explicitly anti-capitalist musicology able to celebrate music’s enactment of post-capitalist desire and to understand how music helps to ‘make what was previously deemed to be impossible seem attainable’. Adopting a sharp focus on the 1960s to the 1990s this thesis combines popular musicology and autonomist Marxism to argue that music functions as politics in transforming consciousness and shifting domains of acceptability in thought and feeling. Emancipatory politics must destroy the appearance of a ‘natural’ order and the thesis develops perspectives on ‘popular music and politics’ that can account for past struggles against capitalism, demonstrating how and why these struggles are naturalised with the discontinuity they signify necessarily erased or appropriated. Music performs emotional work of political significance such as in the embodiment of hope and confidence necessary for political mobilisation. The capacities of music to articulate the emotions that empower people are deployed here to suggest contradictions contained in, against and beyond identity bear utopian orientation. This statement is developed to ask what it means to counter hegemony and break social cohesion. ‘Insubordination’ forms the macro-arguments of the research. These arguments are around the roles of politics in popular music experience in the translation of mid-twentieth century revolution to capitalist realism and neoliberal modernity.

  • LOUDON WAINWRIGHT III Haven’T Got the Blues (Yet) (429 Records)
    MUSIC / NEW MUSIC By STEPHEN HOLDEN Published: September 8, 2014 LOUDON WAINWRIGHT III Haven’t Got the Blues (Yet) (429 Records) From an enfant terrible, once hailed as a new Bob Dylan, to a wary but not too grumpy older man, Loudon Wainwright III, now 68, has stayed the course for well over four decades, charting his life and times with pungent light verses and biting turns of phrase. As a folk singer-songwriter, he has proved that a sharp sense of humor can make for verses more durable than earnest self-examination. You can’t whine about the aging process but you can confront it and soften it with laughter. And on the best songs in “Haven’t Got the Blues (Yet),” his 23rd studio album, he faces impending decrepitude with a smile on his face, buoyed by Zoloft. “Brand New Dance,” which opens the album, is a frantic rockabilly swinger in which he announces a new dance craze “sweeping the land,” where “First you get out of bed, then you attempt to stand.” There’s a silver lining. “But that senior discount that’s my kind of treat/Cause when I get on the bus, you got to gimme a seat.” As the song continues, the point of view widens to embrace an older person’s cynicism on Election Day: “One of them fools is bound to win/But it’s the same old same old all over again.” Mr. Wainwright’s music hasn’t changed significantly. It varies from good-timey folk to spare folk-blues. If his voice has thinned a bit, he still conveys the jovial intimacy of a born storyteller whose public self- mockery exorcises demons.

  • Wainwright, Rufus (B
    Wainwright, Rufus (b. 1973) by Linda Rapp Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2004, glbtq, inc. Rufus Wainwright. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Courtesy Dreamworks Records. Singer and songwriter Rufus Wainwright has built a successful career with witty lyrics and rich melodies that have earned him comparisons to Cole Porter and George Gershwin. Wainwright cites Al Jolson, Edith Piaf, and Nina Simone as artists who were among his early inspirations. Both music critics and Wainwright's loyal fans appreciate the structural complexity and lush orchestrations of his works. Described by Advocate reviewer Anderson Jones as "the thinking gay man's sex symbol," Wainwright composes and performs songs marked by intelligence, humor, and pathos. In his rendition, his songs are at once achingly plaintive and hip, their frank romanticism only barely mediated by a light dose of irony. Wainwright comes from a distinctly musical family. His father is American folk-singer and humorist Loudon Wainwright III, and his mother is Canadian folk-singer and songwriter Kate McGarrigle. Born July 22, 1973 in Rhinebeck, New York, Rufus Wainwright grew up in Montreal, where his mother made her home after his parents separated when he was three and subsequently divorced. Music has always been at the center of Wainwright's life. He began learning to play the piano at six and by his early teens was performing on tour with his mother, his aunt Anna McGarrigle, and his sister Martha Wainwright as the McGarrigle Sisters and Family. Wainwright wrote his first song, "I'm A-Runnin'," for the children's film Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller (1988, directed by Michael Rubbo), for which his mother and aunt had been engaged to provide the music.

  • 2021 Grinner's Guide
    2021 grinner's guide Thank you to our sponsors Show-Me Hemp Fest BOLTE Container 636-629-4541 Since 2015, Pickin’ On Music Festivals have brought talented musicians from near and far together with passionate music lovers on the banks of Missouri’s scenic riverways. We have picked on the Meramec, the Mississippi, the Huzzah and the Courtois. For the third year we are concentrating our efforts on this little Shady Grove in Lost Hill Lake: Pickin’ on Picknic. This festival means so much to us. People have met here, fallen in love here, gotten married here, hell even fallen out of love here! We’ve brought our kids, our dogs, our parents, our lovers, and our friends here. Each year the electric buzz of the community fills the valley and you can hear the joy from the river banks to the highest ridge. But not last year. Amid the uncertainty and ever-changing policies of 2020, we couldn’t put on the show we wanted to. It wasn’t safe for our bands, our crew, or our friends who would attend. And as the year drew on, the silence of our favorite live music venues was deafening. We heard the tales of musicians struggling, venues shutting down, and dreams lost to the reality of a crippled economy. After the long, long silence, the first notes of live music playing for a live audience were like the trilling of a robin at dawn. We are thrilled to join that chorus. To finally bring these phenomenal musicians back to the banks of the Meramec and to bring our Pickin’ On family back into our arms.
