  • Walter “Wolfman”Washington Walter
    Biografia from California Walter “Wolfman” Washin- gton è stato un icona nella scena musicale di New Or- leans per decadi. La sua bruciante chitarra e, le sue vocalità soulful, hanno determinato lo stile ibrido musicale del R&B, del Funk e Blues nella crescente città da quando ha formato la sua prima band negli anni ’70. Washington inizia la sua carriera du- rante i fertili anni ’50, periodo Rhythm & Blues che depone dozzine di gran- di successi e rende New Orleans la destinazione prescelta per la regi- strazione di grandi hit come quelle di Ray Charles e Little Richard. Nato nel 1943, Walter è già in tour durante il suo tardo periodo adole- & The Roadmasters scenziale, trascorrendo più di due anni come supporto alle formidali hits della grande cantante Lee Dorsey. Prima di apparire sulle scene con la sua Solar System band, appare con l’acclamata cantante Irma Thomas così come con il leggendario Jazz- man David Lastie e la sua band. Durante gli anni ’70 inizia una collaborazione di 20 anni con uno dei più importanti ed acclamati vocalist della Louisiana, il grande Johnny Adams. Soppranominato “The Tan Canary” per il suo stile vocale ineguagliabile, Adams è la guida per Walter che sviluppa il suo stile canoro durante la collaborazione con lui ai club più rinomati, incluso una lunga apparizione al celebre Dorothy’s Medallion. Quando Washington forma la sua prima band viene spesso generalizzato nel blues, ma parlando delle sue battute iniziali con Dorsey, Thomas, Adams e Lastie, il suo sound riflette un intero genere musicale. Certamente può cantare blues, da qui il suo nickname, ma il suo talento musicale ha sempre definito un puro Soul.

  • And a Letter to My Customers ===
    --- == ROOTS & RHYTHM - SALE 01/12/2014 - AND A LETTER TO MY CUSTOMERS === --- Dear Friends Happy New Year! We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. NOTE: Regrettably our holiday season was the slowest we've ever seen and it may mean that we will not be able to continue operating our business for very much longer. I am no longer a young man (not by a long shot!) and don't have the energy to pursue ways in which we may be able to promote the business. I would love to be able to settle down and listen to all the music I have gathered over the years in a relaxed setting and with critical reviewing faculties turned off. I would love to see Roots & Rhythm continue and thrive and even if we make it through the current crisis I would still like to get away from the stress of running a business so I am open to having someone else take over and move the company forward. If you are such a person or know such a person please contact me and we can discuss it. This list consists of a sale which we hope will raise enough money to help us get caught up with our suppliers and our taxes as well as some other pressing expenses. This list features 600 titles in all covering all the genres of music we specialize in and featuring books, DVDs and compact discs. This list includes manufacturer?s overstocks and deletions, our own excess inventory and a lot of titles that have been sitting on our shelves that have never been listed before.

  • New Orleans Love Songs
    New Orleans Love Songs As Valentine’s Day approaches, it is an appropriate time to take stock of the love songs recorded by New Orleans artists, as well as other tunes romantically connected with this great metropolis. In no particular order, here are just a few of the Crescent City’s great love songs. NECCO style Valentine candy hearts by Lakeview couple Cherie Melancon Franz and her husband Arthur – photo by Thinkerella Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans One of the great love songs to New Orleans, Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans, was written by two Yankees. The song’s lyricist, Eddie DeLange, was from Long Island, New York, and composer Louis Alter was born in Haverhill, Massachusetts. “Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans And miss it each night and day? I know I’m not wrong, the feeling’s getting stronger The longer I stay away. Miss the moss-covered vines, the tall sugar pines, Where mockingbirds used to sing. And I’d like to see the lazy Mississippi A-hurryin’ into Spring. Oh, the Mardi Gras, the memories Of Creole tunes that fill the air. I dream of oleanders in June, And soon I’m wishin’ that I were there. Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans When that’s where you left your heart? And there’s something more: I miss the one I care for More than I miss New Orleans.” Louis Armstrong truly owned the song (he and Billie Holiday introduced it in the 1947 film New Orleans), but some of the lyrics (albeit evocative and beautiful) just don’t make any sense.
