Blues is the Truth #810 We are keeping the engine running hot this week, and we are proud to be flying the flag for the legendary Crawdaddy Club Richmond. We have got news of some brilliant live music coming up at their home base at The Turks Head in Twickenham, so make sure you keep your ears open during the show for the full breakdown of who is hitting the stage next. The music for this two hour stretch is an absolute masterclass in dynamics. We are setting the tone with the foundational greatness of BB King and the unstoppable energy of Big Mama Thornton before moving into a fantastic partnership from Katie Bradley and Chris Corcoran. The contemporary scene is heavily represented too, with The Terraplanes Blues Band showing exactly why they are packing out venues, alongside the grit of Bob Margolin and another heavy cut from my old band, Blues is Truth, giving you a taste of what we tracked in the studio sixteen years ago. The standard stays sky high as we dive into tracks from Eric Clapton, Bad Influence, and the reliable grooves of The Mustangs. We have got harmonica heat from Giles Robson and timeless, deep water blues from John Lee Hooker and Bobby Blue Bland. You will also hear the brilliant pairing of Dave Thomas and Wallace Coleman, the unmatched storytelling of Mississippi Macdonald, and the wild energy of Doc Stenson's Amazing Hotshots. We keep pushing the boundaries in the second hour with Smokesack Rhino, the modern fire of Gary Clark Jr, and the slide mastery of Roy Rogers. We have also locked in the beautiful vocals of Hollie Rogers, the legendary Dave Kelly, and the forward thinking sounds of Selwyn Birchwood. Wrapping up an absolute marathon of the good stuff, we are finishing up with the deep pocket of Bob Stroeger, the sharp guitar work of Kai Strauss, and the classic swing of The Four Flames. Two hours, incredible artists, and the finest live music community supporting us.

Welcome back. This week we have got some fantastic news to share from the local scene. First up, the legendary Tim Staffell, the man who fronted Smile before it evolved into Queen, is heading to the Turks Head in Twickenham with his band this coming Friday, June 19th. It is always a special night when Tim is on the bill, so if you are in West London, that is the place to be. I have also got some news closer to home. My old band, Blues is Truth, has some fresh release news on the horizon. We have been digging back into the archives and the studio lately, so stay tuned for updates on what is coming next from our corner. The music this week is a proper cross section of the greats and the new guard. We are kicking off with BB and the Blues Shacks and a track from my own Blues is Truth before sliding into the beautiful collaboration of Staffell and Stewart. You will also hear the Louisiana soul of Tab Benoit, The Knickerbocker All Stars, and the Papa George Band. Because no show is complete without the icons, we have got The Rolling Stones, Freddie King, and Big Mama Thornton keeping things grounded. We are also featuring the brilliant harmonica work of Paul Lamb and the Kingsnakes, the fire of Coco Montoya, and a classic pairing of Buddy Guy and Junior Wells. The energy keeps rising with Garry Burnside, GA 20, Big Harp George, and Monster Mike Welch. We have also locked in the Walter Trout Band, Paul Garner Band, Shawn Pitman, and Little Mac. Wrapping up this two hour session, you will hear the legendary Taj Mahal, the powerhouse Kyla Brox, the king Muddy Waters, and the master of the slide, Steve Dawson. It is a packed show with a lot of history and plenty of future.

En Más de Uno, Begoña Gómez y Jorge Abad descubren, junto a JF León, la historia detrás de Hound Dog, desmontando la idea de que el éxito pertenece exclusivamente a Elvis Presley. El tema fue grabado originalmente en 1952 por Big Mama Thornton, con un tono mucho más crudo y combativo, y posteriormente versionado por Elvis en 1956, en una adaptación más ligera que acabó convirtiéndose en icono del rock. Pero la sorpresa llega al revelar un tercer elemento: Bear Cat, de Rufus Thomas, un caso claro de plagio que copiaba estructura y ritmo de la original hasta el punto de acabar en los tribunales, con victoria para los autores Leiber y Stoller. Un recorrido que ilustra cómo, en los años 50, la frontera entre versión, inspiración y copia era mucho más difusa de lo que hoy aceptaríamos.

Elvis Presley loved the Memphis singer Johnny Ace. Johnny died long before Elvis' became the King of Rock ‘N' Roll and the way in which Johnny Ace died was as tragic as it was violent. It involved a game of Russian roulette, a greedy and dubious rock ‘n' roll impresario, BB King, Big Mama Thornton, Little Richard, and a killer conspiracy and music history myth in desperate need of busting. Buckle up for a Christmas story like no other. What are your favorite rock 'n' roll myths? Which ones need busting?

Carlos Iribarren | Este verano queremos sorprenderte más de lo normal así que vamos a bucear en unas aguas musicales muy interesantes, unas aguas musicales muy interesantes, las que corren por el delta del Mississippi, epicentro del primer blues comercial a comienzos del siglo XX. Los grandes intérpretes del género nos visitan a través de algunas interpretaciones míticas, como el “Hound dog” de Big Mama Thornton, el “Sweet Home Chicago” de Robert Johnson o el “Dust my broom” de Elmore James. Además, escucharemos otras canciones muy destacables de B.B. King con Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac y el norirlandés Gary Moore. Para acompañarnos en este recorrido tan melodioso, contamos con un experto que conoce de memoria los entresijos del blues: Iñaki De La Torre, locutor de la Cadena Ser y enamorado de los orígenes de la música popular norteamericana. Junto a Carlos y Mario, recorren un camino lleno de buena música en la nueva entrega de Hoy Toca, el programa de Clásica FM que te quiere sorprender.

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2016 conversation with Mike Stoller. ABOUT MIKE STOLLERMike Stoller has written more than 60 songs that have appeared on the Billboard charts, including the #1 hits “Hound Dog,” “Kansas City,” “Yakety Yak,”  “Searchin',” “Jailhouse Rock,” “Poison Ivy,” “Stand By Me,” “Young Blood,” “Don't,” and “Ruby, Baby." After Stoller and songwriting partner Jerry Leiber found early R&B success with recordings by Little Esther, Charles Brown, Ray Charles, and Big Mama Thornton, Elvis Presley turned their song "Hound Dog" into a #1 single on the pop, R&B, and country charts in 1956. Elvis went on to record more than 20 Leiber and Stoller titles, including the hits "Love Me," "Loving You," "Jailhouse Rock," "Treat Me Nice," "She's Not You," and "Bossa Nova Baby." Mike and Jerry signed an independent production deal with Atlantic Records in the mid-1950s, where they wrote and produced a series of hits for several artists, including the Drifters' "There Goes My Baby," "Dance With Me," and "On Broadway." Additionally, the pair wrote and produced all the Coasters' singles, including "Young Blood," "Searchin'," "Charlie Brown," "Along Came Jones," and "Poison Ivy." Other highlights from the Leiber and Stoller songbook include "Love Potion No. 9," which was a hit for both the Clovers and the Searchers, and "Is That All There Is," which was a hit for Peggy Lee. Eleven different versions of their song “Stand By Me” appeared on the Billboard charts over the span of 50 years, with the original version by Ben E. King hitting the Top 10 in both 1961 and 1986. Smokey Joe's Cafe, which included 40 Leiber and Stoller songs, opened in 1995 and became the longest running musical revue in Broadway history. Stoller received the prestigious ASCAP Founders Award in 1991, has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and is a member of both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Earlier this week, several legendary female artists–including Cher, Mary J. Blige and Big Mama Thornton–were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. But despite this recognition, the history of women in popular music has always been marked by struggle. How Women Made Music, a new book from NPR Music and edited by Alison Fensterstock, centers and celebrates that radical history by compiling archival interviews, essays and images from the past 50 years. In today's episode, NPR's Ann Powers talks with NPR's Scott Detrow about the multi-platform project that inspired the book and how female artists have changed history by making revolutionary music–not just by telling their stories.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
