BLUES NEWS August 2009 2 Letter From the Prez

The hot and humid weather common to our area in the summer returned just in time for the Louisville Blues-n-Barbecue Festival at the Water Tower on July 10, 11 and 12. Ten bands played to excellent crowds over the three day festival. The Beat Daddys turned in a solid performance as the Saturday night closer. They played our 20th anniversary party last year but Larry Grisham returned with a whole new band backing him up including Fred James, Waldo LaTowsky and Jeff “Stick” Davis, one of the founding mem- bers of the Amazing Rhythm Aces. The Beat Daddys had a hard act to follow after the blistering set by The Predators, with their special guest guitarist Greg Foresman.

I had more than one blues society member come up to me after the Predators played and said it was the best they had ever seen them. Way to go guys. We will have photos and more info on the festival in a fu- ture issue of Blues News. Photo by Bob Brown Speaking of the Predators they will be playing the first River Bend Blues Fest on Friday, August 7 along with Sheryl Rouse, Bluestown and Big Poppa Stampley at the River Bend Winery. The festival will feature music outdoors in the parking lot adja- cent to the winery and indoors on the first and second floors. This is the first Friday of the month so it's also Trolley Hop night in downtown Louisville. This makes it real easy to get to the winery located on 10th Street between Main and Market. Other festivals this month include the Cincy Blues Fest August 7 & 8 in Cincinnati, OH, the Bean Blossom in Nashville, IN on Au- gust 27, 28 and 29 and the Ken Lake's Hot August Blues Festival also on August 27, 28 and 29. In addition, the Madison Ribberfest will be Friday and Saturday, August 21 and 22. They have another killer line-up this year including Watermelon Slim, Ronnie Baker Brooks, Robben Ford, Ruthie Foster and Louisville's own Hellfish. The first Capital City Blues Festival in Frankfort, KY will take place on Saturday, August 29 with T.D. and the Scandalous Band, Robbie Bartlett and the Here for the Party band. The festival season has kicked into high gear.

Louisville has always been a town where musicians support each other and that will clearly be evident on Sunday, August 16 when Stevie Ray's hosts the Bikers, Blues and BBQ benefit for the Louisville Orchestra. The orchestra had to trim more than $1 million from its budget for the 2009 season and is looking for more support from the community. Three blues band are stepping forward to help raise money for the LO. They are da Mudcats, the Travlin' Mojos and Sue O'Neil and Blue Seville. The doors open at 1:00 pm with the music starting at 4:00 pm. The cover charge is $15 with all proceeds going to the or- chestra.

Grammy award winning artists Bonnie Raitt and Taj Mahal come to the Louisville Palace on Wednesday, August 19. Tickets are $59.50 and $69.50 and are currently on sale at the Palace box office and on-line at livenation.com. Unfortunately, the Etta James show scheduled for Sunday, August 16 has been canceled due to illness. Refunds are available at the point of purchase.

Jon Boy Slim was the winner of our solo/duo contest held June 28 at Lisa's Oak Street Lounge. Slim will represent the blues society at the International Blues Challenge next January in Memphis. In addition to winning $100 and studio recording time at Alfresco Studios courtesy of Jeff Carpenter, Jon Boy Slim will be the opening acts for the KBS's 21st Anniversary Party on Saturday, November 14 at the Vernon Club. We are still working on the line-up but plan to feature one regional and one na- tional blues acts in addition to Jon Boy Slim. The blues society is still looking for sponsors to help us achieve that goal. If you are interested in being a sponsor for the festival you can contact me at 724-9971 or [email protected]. We will have more information on the anniversary party and photos from the solo/duo contest in a future edition of Blues News.

New Music Reviews!

Missy Andersen Missy Andersen Main Squeeze Records

Missy Andersen's self-titled debut CD is a surprise. Not exactly a household name, the San Diego, California-based Andersen will pretty much knock you over with her rich, soulful, bluesy vocals. Press material lists an extensive list of influences, and the Staples Singers are noted. Missy's voice some- times gives a nod to Mavis, although a bit smoother--and still earthy. The entire CD sports a "big" sound of blues, soul, gospel and funk over eight very well produced tunes, two of which are originals. She's joined by husband and lead guitarist Heine Andersen, drummer Asmus Jensen, keyboardist Jeppe Juul and bassist Soren Bojgaard, all of whom support her very well while allowing her voice to remain out front.

All eight tracks are excellent, although her energetic rendition of "Tell Mama", and the forceful "Little by Little" need to be mentioned. Perhaps the best tune, however, is the final song, one of the two originals. "Stand up and Dance," which in- cludes a nice touch from Nathan James slide guitar, really does make you wanna stand up and dance.

BLUES NEWS August 2009 5 Bex Marshall Kitchen Table House of Mercy Records (London, UK)

First, let's get this out of the way: this is not a full-on blues recording. However, the blues numbers that are in- cluded, well, suffice to say they take blues to a new and exceptional level. Marshall, who wrote all 10 tunes on this recording, appears no stranger to heartache and pain, as much of her lyrics deal with things in life which produce those kinds of feelings. So, in that respect, this may be a bit more of a blues work than one would first think. Bex Marshall's voice is a force to be reckoned with--not for its volume or sheer power, but for its raw, earthy, sometimes fragile, always gritty and dusky channeling of (as "Outlaw" magazine, March 2009 is quoted saying) "the ghosts of old blues women's heartaches." Her guitar skill and sound is a perfect match for her voice, as she prefers to pluck, caress and sometimes pound her instrument with cold precision and at others to pull out a ghostly wail with her slide. Whether country-blues pickin', hard strummin' or slip-slidin' up and down the fretboard, Marshall strips the skin off every tune and lays it bare. She pulls it up by the roots and lets the dirt fall to the ground.

And while it may subtract from allowing for a more complete blues classification, Marshall is joined by none other than Don Wayne and Dale Reno, brothers and sons of the late, great bluegrass musician Don Reno. Don Wayne's spooky, sparse banjo and Dale's mando- lin round out a very earthy, rootsy sound and keep the tone somber and dark where it needs to be.

While the entire CD is superb, several tunes must be mentioned--and those are the mostly- or all-blues numbers. (Two other songs can be mentioned here that are not blues, but are excellent and deserve to be noted -- both are up-tempo JJ Cale-esque tunes: the opener, which is the title track, and "Too Much Rock and Roll," which includes a spooky, slinky slide.)

"Red Light" showcases Marshall's voice as a fragile, ghostly warble as she sings "Pardon me for asking, but I got nothing to loose [sic]. Did you just pass a junction, without obeying the rules. You forgot to put your belt on, it's all crashing in on you. My dear your [sic] in my headlights and I'm breaking like a fool..." On track three, "Hot Headed Man" is a toe-tapper that turns into a purr as Marshall uses her quick-pickin' country-blues guitar to quicken the pace. And the best tune on the CD is the slow lament simply titled "Black Guitar." The electric slide solos are cries in the night from the lonely man she writes about: "I knew a lonely man, his heart was broke in two. He ayed a black guitar, he sang about the blues. Every night he thinks about the way it was before; but now it'll always be just him and his guitar. ...every night he drinks whatever he can afford. He takes the black guitar and plays it for the lord." This last tune combines all that's right with this recording and creates a recipe for a piece of music guaranteed to raise the hair on your arms and leave you with an ache in your gut
