This is my first time to be a Sire, but with my accent, Rich Garlinghouse, the Imperial Potentate around here, thought I’d be perfect . 2 . and, Rich, thanks for letting me do it without an interpreter.

One of this genre’s pioneers, Greg Allman, believes the term “Southern Rock” is redundant. “Sort of like ‘rock rock.’” After all, rock & roll began as southern music. There’d be no rock without the blues, created in the Mississippi Delta by the original bluesmen, like Charlie Patton of Dockery Farms, and Hazlehurst’s Robert Johnson, who, legend has it, sold his soul to the devil to learn to play the blues guitar, down where Highway 49 intersects with US 61.

Whipping Post The last time I saw Tom Wood alive the scene played out this way. I was heading down Bishop Street when I spotted Tom on the side of the road across from the MWRTA’s headquarters. I’m thinking maybe he was lookin’ for a lift to cover the last 700 yards from the Turning Point to the mother ship. First I groaned, then hesitated, yes hesitated before pulling over to the side of the road and rolling the passenger side window. “Tom, hey Tom, do you want a ride, are you OK?” Tom’s eyes are cloudy and unfocused, they appear to be spinning in his head. “You may need to go to the hospital. Come on, let’s go see your caseworker.” No way, Tom dismisses me. His eyes focus for a moment. “I’m OK. I’ll walk.” As I pull away, the twin throbbing guitars of Duane Allman and Dickey Betts accompanied by the futile existential wail of sorrow by Gregg Allman starts playing between my ears. The Live at the Fillmore version. It’ll be a while before it recedes. I learn, when Tom is lying in a hospital bed with the electrical activity in his brain reduced to a mere flicker, that Tom was a heavy metal aficionado.

  • “Statesboro Blues”—Blind Willie Mctell (1928) Added to the National Registry: 2015 Essay by Brian Bader
    “Statesboro Blues”—Blind Willie McTell (1928) Added to the National Registry: 2015 Essay by Brian Bader Blind Willie McTell Blind Willie McTell was born May 5, 1901 in Thomson, Georgia. Though there is some uncertainty about his birth year, his comparatively long life (he died on Aug. 19, 1959, in Milledgeville, Georgia), his prolific recording career, the memories of numerous acquaintances, and McTell’s own recorded reminiscences, allow for a full picture of his life. His skillful fingerpicking guitar style ranks high with the playing of other acoustic blues artists, both blind (Blind Boy Fuller, Blind Blake, Reverend Gary Davis) and sighted (Josh White, Brownie McGhee). Hard to categorize, McTell embodied Piedmont blues, as well as ragtime, and gospel/spiritual/religious music, and may best be described as a mid-twentieth century American songster. One of his tunes--“covered,” or more accurately freely adapted, in a powerful electric blues rendition by the Allman Brothers Band-- is his legacy. This number most familiar to modern blues and rock fans: “Statesboro Blues.” Recorded by McTell and self-accompanied on twelve- string guitar in 1928 for Victor records, it showcases his distinctive voice and his talented guitar playing. The Allman Brothers later credited their cover of the song to “Will McTell” on their live two-record album “At Filmore East” released in 1971 on Capricorn Records. Guitarists Duane Allman (using a slide) and Dickey Betts cut loose with their trademark twin lead guitar line up in a memorable reading as a jumping blues shuffle. In an analysis of the history of “Statesboro Blues,” however, it is important to note that between the McTell recording and the Allman Brothers, there is a version from 1968 by Taj Mahal on his debut album.

  • BIO Concert Promoter 2016-2017
    CONCERT PROMOTER BIO 2016/2017 MASCOT LABEL GROUP/PROVOGUE Beth Hart is on fire. Right now, the Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter is riding a creative tidal wave, firing out acclaimed albums, hooking up with the biggest names in music and rocking the house each night with that celebrated burnt-honey voice. In 2016, the headline news is Beth’s latest album, Fire On The Floor (out 14 October 2016 (Europe / Australia / New Zealand) and 3 February 2017 (US / CanaDa) on Provogue/Mascot Label Group): a release that even this fiercely self-critical artist describes as “pretty frickin’ good”. But let’s not forget the backstory that brought her here… The Blues Magazine once dubbed Beth Hart “the ultimate female rock star”, and there’s no doubt that her two-decade career is the ultimate thrill-ride. Born in Los Angeles, she released a fistful of hit albums through the ’90s, then reignited in the post-millennium as both a solo artist and the head-turning vocalist for guitar heroes like Joe Bonamassa, Jeff Beck, BuDDy Guy and Slash. “Extraordinary,” wrote The Times of her once-a-generation voicebox, while The Guardian praised her “daring, brooding and angry” performances. It’s no wonder she’s been nominated for three Blues Music Awards. But it’s in recent times that Beth has truly blossomed. In April 2015, she released Better Than Home: a critical and commercial smash that toppeD the iTunes Blues Chart and was crowneD #4 Best Blues Album Of The Year by Mojo magazine. The release led her to fill AmsterDam’s Heineken Music Hall with 5,500 fans (her largest club show to Date).
