  • Blueink Newsletter November 2016
    B B L L U U E S I D N K November 2016 Duke Robillard-‘Blues Full Circle’ Duke Robillard surely must be one of the very most prolific blues artists found anywhere. Everywhere I turn he has a new release out whether a solo venture or one of his many collaborations with the likes of Eric Bibb. With the release of ‘Blues Full Circle’ he does not disappoint with a thoroughly enjoyable CD. The very first cut sets the tone with ‘Lay a Little Lovin’ On Me’ which really supports Duke’s voicing. Following that is a nice bit of lazy shuffling in ‘Rain Keeps Falling’. ‘Fool About My Money’ changes things up and gets in a little Louisiana Zydeco. Duke Robillard returns completely to his roots of blues with this all star line-up of Duke Robillard on guitars and vocals, Bruce Bears on Piano and Hammond, Brad Hallen on bass and Mark Teixeira on drums, and if that isn't enough Duke adds musical dynamite with guest shots by Jimmie Vaughan, Sugar Ray Norcia and Kelley Hunt. It's what you expect from Duke Robillard all 13 songs and 52 minutes of it. ’Blues Full Circle’ seems to have it all and is completely an enjoyable listen. Colin James-Blue Highways Blues singer/guitarist Colin is one of several excellent Canadian blues artists, this is his 18th. album release and he has been playing the blues since he was a teenager in the 1980s. And it quite frankly it shows, this album sees him saluting his blues heroes, from Freddie King to Howlin' Wolf, from Robert Johnson to British blues guitarist Peter Green, with Colin and the band effortlessly going through a number of styles and sounds paying tribute to these artists but putting their own spin on things rather than doing straight copies.

  • “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of
    “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Dana DeVlieger, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2016 Thesis Committee: Graeme M. Boone, Advisor Johanna Devaney Anna Gawboy Copyright by Dana Lauren DeVlieger 2016 Abstract “Whiskey in the Jar” is a traditional Irish song that is performed by musicians from many different musical genres. However, because there are influential recordings of the song performed in different styles, from folk to punk to metal, one begins to wonder what the role of the song’s Irish heritage is and whether or not it retains a sense of Irish identity in different iterations. The current project examines a corpus of 398 recordings of “Whiskey in the Jar” by artists from all over the world. By analyzing acoustic markers of Irishness, for example an Irish accent, as well as markers of other musical traditions, this study aims explores the different ways that the song has been performed and discusses the possible presence of an “Irish feel” on recordings that do not sound overtly Irish. ii Dedication Dedicated to my grandfather, Edward Blake, for instilling in our family a love of Irish music and a pride in our heritage iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Graeme Boone, for showing great and enthusiasm for this project and for offering advice and support throughout the process. I would also like to thank Johanna Devaney and Anna Gawboy for their valuable insight and ideas for future directions and ways to improve.
