A Proclamation By Governor Ronnie Musgrove WHEREAS, The Barkays were originally known as the River Arrows and was comprised of Jimmy King, Ronnie Caldwell, Phalin Jones, Ben Cauley, James Alexander and Carl Cunningham; and WHEREAS, originally signed to Stax, the Bar-Kays were showcased as that label’s second-string house band by Al Jackson, drummer in Booker T. and the MG’s; and WHEREAS, The Barkays were employed as Otis Redding’s backing group on tour, and the tragic plane crash in 1967 that took his life also claimed King, Caldwell, Jones and Cunningham; and WHEREAS, Alexander, who missed the flight, put together a new lineup with Ben Cauley, the sole survivor of the accident—Cauley later dropped out, leaving Alexander at the helm of a frequently changing line-up; and WHEREAS, primarily a session group, the Barkays provided the backing on many releases, including Isaac Hayes’ ‘Shaft’ and several of Albert King’s 70’s recordings; and WHEREAS, the group pursued a funk-based direction on their own releases with the addition of vocalist Larry Dodson but consistent success was only secured on their move to Mercury Records where they landed singles including ‘Shake Your Rump To The Funk’ (1976), ‘Freakshow On The Dancefloor’ (1984), and ‘Sex-O-Matic’ (1984): NOW, THEREFORE, I, Ronnie Musgrove, Governor of the State of Mississippi, hereby proclaim The Barkays as 2002 recipients of the Jackson Music Awards Legend Award in Rhythm & Blues and commend you for your talents and accomplishments in the music industry. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Mississippi to be affixed. DONE in the City of Jackson, July 15, 2001, in the two hundred and twenty- sixth year of the United States of America. RONNIE MUSGROVE GOVERNOR.

You must also keep in mind that like every other arts movement, American Blues music has consequentially branched off to a variety of related musical formats, some more popular than others, and the Delta Blues variations are the most popular Blues styles giving rise to Rock and Roll, Rhythm and Blues and Hip Hop.

Claudettes deliver holiday cheer By P.J. GLISSON [email protected] IRONWOOD – Excited patrons of the Historic Iron- wood Theatre packed the house for Saturday night’s annual Claudette Christmas show, during which they were clapping and cheering even before the acts began. Even musical director George Ackerman-Behr, who offered a pre-show warm-up by playing organ tunes such as “Winter Wonderland,” received cries of “We love you!” The Claudettes began the show by applying their jazzy dance skills to pop Christmas tunes, which eventually allowed for Santa Claus to run down one of the theatre SOUTH aisles, shouting “Ho, Ho, Ho!” before joining the ladies WEST onstage. Throughout the evening, the ladies also performed sev- eral other numbers, including a reindeer dance and glitzy routines set to fun holiday tunes, including “The 12 Days of Christmas.” The audience could not have loved them more. Overall, the evening pro- vided an extravaganza of tal- ent, with dancers, singers and musicians of all ages perform- ing anything from Christmas pop to Christian classics. A special treat came in the P.J. Glisson/Daily Globe way of Miles Mykkanen, an AS THE stars of Saturday night’s “Oh What Fun!” show at the Historic Ironwood Theatre, the Claudettes show their predictable style.

[0:00:00] Wayne Jackson: Hello. Check in. Check in. Check in. Joshua Kape: Recording? Okay. Wayne Jackson: I’m on. Joshua Kape: All right. Mr. Jackson, it’s an honor to be here to interview you. Wayne Jackson: Thank you. Joshua Kape: Of course, it’s for our Crossroads to Freedom digital archive. And the interview today will be posted on the archive, on the website. Wayne Jackson: Good.

Zach Harpole: All right, just to start off today, just tell us a bit about like where you were born and your childhood growing up.

She was a secretary for a real estate company and dad sold insurance. And that’s where I was raised, in that environment. A small town.

MV-7 Donald Ray Johnson Is a Veteran Drummer and Vocalist with A
These Blues: The Best of Donald Ray Johnson Mar Vista Music – MV-7 Donald Ray Johnson is a veteran drummer and vocalist with an extensive track record in pop and R&B, as well as blues. His greatest claim to fame might be his propulsive percussion work on Boogie Oogie Oogie, the 1978 disco-funk hit by A Taste Of Honey. He’s also cut several blues releases on his own. The opening track, a cover of Al Green’s Ain’t No Fun to Me, could almost be a Green outtake—Johnson’s vocals, while somewhat deeper than Green’s, are similar in timbre, and the horn charts and rhythmic patterns are based closely on producer Willie Mitchell’s legendary sound at Hi Records. Individual credits aren’t provided, but a leather-lunged harp player and some sweet, fatback- funk guitar and bass further season this track. Most of the other offerings here hew closer to standard-issue, 12-bar blues laced with uptown sophistication; the influence of B.B. King, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Rosco Gordon and other ex-Beale Streeters is obvious, and there are nods to icons such as Jimmy Reed, Albert King and Little Milton as well. Nonetheless, with the arguable exception of his Al Green cover, Johnson does not sound like an imitator. His take on the ballad Always On My Mind is a masterpiece of meditative regret that never descends into bathos; his original creations (nine of the 13 songs here are his) reveal him to be a deft storyteller, capable of bringing new life to well-worn blues conceits.
