  • Schuyler Negro-Art Hokum
    George S. Schuyler, “The Negro-Art Hokum.” Nation 122 (June 16, 1926): 662–63. Negro art “made in America” is as non-existent as the widely advertised profundity of Cal Coolidge, the “seven years of progress” of Mayor Hylan, or the reported sophistication of New Yorkers. Negro art there has been, is, and will be among the numerous black nations of Africa; but to suggest the possibility of any such development among the ten million colored people in this republic is self-evident foolishness. Eager apostles from Greenwich Village, Harlem, and environs proclaimed a great renaissance of Negro art just around the corner waiting to be ushered on the scene by those whose hobby is taking races, nations, peoples, and movements under their wing. New art forms expressing the “peculiar” psychology of the Negro were about to flood the market. In short, the art of Homo Africanus was about to electrify the waiting world. Skeptics patiently waited. They still wait. True, from dark-skinned sources have come those slave songs based on Protestant hymns and Biblical texts known as the spirituals, work songs and secular songs of sorrow and tough luck known as the blues, that outgrowth of ragtime known as jazz (in the development of which whites have assisted), and the Charleston, an eccentric dance invented by the gamins around the public market-place in Charleston, S. C. No one can or does deny this. But these are contributions of a caste in a certain section of the country. They are foreign to Northern Negroes, West Indian Negroes, and African Negroes.

  • Robert Johnson's “Terraplane Blues,”
    1 The Significance of Cars in the Delta: Robert Johnson’s “Terraplane Blues,” (Vocalion, 03416, 1937) Abstract: Robert Johnson's "Terraplane Blues" was a modest hit for the newly recorded bluesman. Notable musically for its elaborate intertwining rhythms and disjointed sections, interpretations of the song have revolved around its lyrical double entendres that equate a woman to a car to discuss her infidelity and the narrator's resultant inability to arouse or satisfy his partner sexually. Although the car in the title has been identified as a Hudson model, scant attention has been paid to the socio-cultural significance of cars in the Delta in the late 1930s. Cars represent a charged locus of convergence of meanings in the Mississippi Delta: a commodity that condenses not only racialized, socio-economic relations, but also the forces of modernization. Ambiguously identified as both means of mobility and significant investments, cars symbolize both escape and entrapment by the economic system. Recontextualizing the central symbol in "Terraplane Blues" with the aid of Federal Writers Project interviews and sociological studies of the Delta complicates our understanding of the meaning of the song. The affective shifts associated with sexual betrayal and frustration, as well as the musical leaps and gaps, map onto the contested meanings of automobiles among an impoverished and largely immobilized African American population during the Depression. Keywords: Johnson, Robert, 1911-1938 Blues musicians -- Mississippi Blues (Music) -- Mississippi Guitar music (Blues) Automobiles -- Social aspects -- United States -- History -- 20th century 2 The Significance of Cars in the Delta: Robert Johnson’s “Terraplane Blues,” (Vocalion, 03416, 1937) “I had a 4,000 dollar car and 3,900 dollars in my pocket.

  • “Covering” the Bluesman from a Distance
    Introduction In many ways, my journey towards this thesis topic began with my brother’s music collection. Throughout my teens he would introduce me to a wide range of local and international acts, many of which were influenced by African-American blues artists. This influence is evident in both their construction of sound and the old songs that they rerecorded. From there I began tracing musical influences from song credits and interview excerpts—a path often travelled by musicians and fans alike—that would eventually lead me to an appreciation of blues music. The penultimate step towards this topic came in the form of my honours thesis—a creative project that involved rerecording several tracks from the catalogue of an early Australian country music artist, one of which was titled “Blue Mountain Blues”.1 From there I turned to blues music in Australia. Initially conceived as a history of “Australian blues”, it became apparent that this proposed sub-genre struggled to unify and explain the disparate musical styles contained therein. Although each artist was clearly addressing the musical characteristics and influences I had come to recognise as “blues music”, it all sounded different. In the meantime, I developed a keen interest in a fellow colleague’s thesis topic that addressed the role of “covers” within the Australian music industry (Giuffre, 2005). My epiphany—and catalyst for the current thesis topic—eventually presented itself while viewing a live performance from Peter Green Splinter Group. The concert was split into two courses: an acoustic entrée featuring several Robert Johnson “covers”; and, an electric main with side dishes of early Fleetwood Mac material—the band Green had help found many years ago.

At first thought to be music for only the younger generation, the mixed-generation audiences that exist at rock concerts today and the existence of “classic rock” radio stations have proven its staying power. This course will survey the stylistic development of rock music from its beginnings to the present. It will also be concerned with the music and musicians who have created rock’s history and with the social, political and cultural forces that have been at work in that history, particularly with regard to how these have influenced the sound of rock music. The course will begin with a short overview of the fundamentals of musical style to equip students who are new to the academic study of music with the tools necessary to an understanding of stylistic influences in the development of a musical tradition. The course will include a great deal of LISTENING, and you will be expected to develop the ability to recognize various aspects of musical style such as rhythm, form, timbre, etc. Course Objectives Students who take MUS 307 will: 1. master a basic vocabulary of musical description, enabling them to describe the characteristics of melody, rhythm and instrumentation of the various styles of rock music; 2.
