"Dockery Farms is said to be the place where the Delta Blues began. That is a bold statement but once you hear the research I have gathered it will be hard to argue. Robert Johnson did not sell his soul for great musical talent. He went to Dockery Farms which is still open today and welcoming visitors."

Air Date 5/18/2025 The full quote from today's title is from one of the most celebrated writers of Southern American literature, William Faulkner, who said, "The past is never dead. It's not even past. All of us labor in webs spun long before we were born, webs of heredity and environment, of desire and consequence, of history and eternity.” The new film, Sinners, set in the Jim Crow South, attempts to take on some of the subjects that make up that web of history and consequence. The theme of today's episode is an attempt to dig into many of the subjects of the film. Be part of the show!

Interview by Kris PetersGuitarist/songwriter/vocalist Samantha Fish is rightfully recognized as one of the premiere guitarists of her generation. With a blending of emotion, finesse, and raw aggression, Fish encapsulates the essence of musicianship while also allowing herself creative room from which to grow and flourish.Her sonic output features, and draws from, multiple genres including rock, country, funk and bluegrass, but it is her ability to integrate genres and manipulate musical styles that has seen her forge a successful career which includes a Grammy nomination for Death Wish Blues (her 2023 collaboration with rocker Jesse Dayton) and opening for The Rolling Stones on their final 2024 U.S. tour date.Fish's upcoming album Paper Doll is the culmination of years of commitment to the music scene, delivering nine tracks with enough scope and musical disparity to appeal to lovers of many forms of music. But it's not the amount of strings to Fish's metaphorical bow. It is the way she unites each delicate moment, drifting between lashings of hard rock staunchness to softer, more intimate confines with a Delta Blues spine.It is a coming together of genres that in many hands would sound forced, or contrived, but Fish manages to find not only the balance at the core of her music but also pushes the parameters of experimentalisation over convention. Put simply, Paper Doll is Samantha Fish's most accomplished body of work to date, and something that brought her music to the attention of HEAVY on the other side of the world.We sat down with Fish recently to go over the album, starting by asking if the pressures of an album release cycle are something that affects her as the release date approaches."There's this weird feeling when you finish a record, at least for me," she smiled. "I know every artist feels this way. You walk out of the studio and this giant weight has been lifted off your shoulders. It's almost euphoric when you're done with the record and thank God, because it's always fun. But for me, it's always like this mountain that I have to climb to get through it. It feels great. But then It feels like you have this secret that you have to keep for 6-9 months to a year that you can't share with anybody. So I finally feel like I'm able to let people in on the little secret."We asked what her focus was on going into the musical side of Paper Doll."With this record, I wanted to lean into my strengths," she replied. "What are my superpowers? What makes me different? What makes me unique, leaning into my voice, my guitar, my songwriting? I wanted to make something that felt urgent, felt like rock and roll, but was still rooted in the music that I love and inspires me, which is blues music. North Hill Country blues specifically. It's a deep well of inspiration for me. I just wanted to write great songs and write and record with an urgency that people would hear and want to listen to again and again and again. Timeless records, that's my goal."In the full interview, Samantha described the completion of the album as a euphoric experience, emphasizing her aim to create timeless music that highlights her vocal and guitar skills while incorporating a hard-edged rock and roll style. She noted that this album is more aggressive than her previous works, with the opening track, I'm Done Runnin', serving as a strong introduction. Samantha also highlighted the importance of track sequencing in engaging listeners, aiming to encourage them to experience the album as a cohesive journey rather than just individual songs.She shared insights into her writing process, revealing that much of the album was created while on tour, where she draws inspiration from her experiences. This album is particularly significant as it is the first she recorded with her touring band, capturing the energy and chemistry developed on the road. The conversation also touched on her rumoured plans to visit Australia in 2026 and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Interview with Ollee Owens. Canadian soul/blues powerhouse singer Ollee Owens announces the release of her new album, Nowhere to Hide, on October 25th through her Ollee Owens Music label imprint. The first single from Nowhere to Hide, “Some Days,” was released on August 30. Produced by Bobby Blazier, the music on Nowhere to Hide is also graced by the presence of Muscle Shoals all-star guitarist Will McFarlane on eight of the album's eleven tracks. “The writing of ‘Some Days' came out of a desire to acknowledge the ups and downs of our day-to-day experiences and at the same time call out the resilience of the human spirit no matter what we come up against,” Owens says. “Sonically, we imagined it as a blues-infused song that leaves the listener feeling happy. It was recorded in Nashville with some of the best session musicians in Music City: Chris Rodriguez, Craig Young, Bobby Blazier, and DeMarco Johnson. The energy in the room that day was palpable as the song began to take shape, capturing exactly what I heard in my head when we wrote the song, resulting in a soulful and hope-filled anthem.” After returning to music a decade ago and releasing 2022's Cannot Be Unheard, the Calgary-based blues/rock singer is better than ever with her latest dazzling, down-to-earth studio album Nowhere to Hide. It's one teeming with stylish, sophisticated jewels mined from blues, rock, and soul. Nowhere to Hide features eight co-writing credits by Owens and a few covers, including Bob Dylan's "Lord Protect My Child." Whether it's Owens' confident delivery fueling the driving title track, the infectious "Some Days," or the deliciously well-crafted "Shivers and Butterflies," Owens is as dynamic as the eleven-track album is flawless. "I learned so much," Owens says of the creative process, "especially, vocally, as there was real opportunity to dig deeper and embody the lyrics." Nowhere to Hide, recorded at Nashville's Sweetbriar Studio and Gnome Studios, shines with help from a who's who of acclaimed Nashville session musicians Blazier brought to the album. "Bobby has an incredible ability to bring people together," Owens says of Blazier. "We all got in the studio together, gave it everything we got, and made some great music." That great music derives from Owens' backstory in the farming community of New Bothwell, Manitoba. As a teen, she gravitated toward Dylan, Delta Blues, The Staple Singers, and Etta James. "When I came back to creating music, I really realized the depth and influence that particular style of music had on me," Owens says of her early listening habits. Owens and her husband started their family early and had three daughters, one of whom has a cognitive disability. After some soul-searching, and realizing her daughter had exceptional needs, she took a hiatus from music. "I focused on being present and engaged for my daughters," she says. As a result, "Lord Protect My Child" strikes an emotional chord as Owens pours her soul into it. "That song has really become close to my heart," she says. "My daughter is twenty-three now, but there's still a lot of vulnerability there. The desire for protecting and taking care of her will never go away." Owens will be playing a Canadian concert in October celebrating the release of Nowhere to Hide and has plans for further touring in the spring. She's also performed at the Roots Blues and BBQ Festival in Drumheller, Alberta, and Calgary's National Music Centre, among several other venues. Now with Nowhere to Hide, Owens will have a larger fan base thanks to an amazing album you would be wise to experience wherever you get your music. Ollee's Info /https://olleeowens.com/

Robert Johnson didn't just play the blues. He embodied them. He drank and womanized his way through the South, New York, and Chicago in the 1930s, until he finally met the devil at the crossroads for a little trade. So the legend goes, anyway. With the same soul he supposedly sold to the devil, Robert Johnson belted lightning blues that captured trouble in 12 bars. But the trouble he touted would eventually trickle into his own life, one bottle of poison at a time.

Later in the nineties he was a founding member of the Delta Blues group Bourbon Jones, earning the moniker Two Drum Tony, famous for simply playing the 26″ Radio King bass drum and cowhide snare, digging deep into the second line style of New Orleans blues and swing. It was in 1998 that Antoine had the opportunity to engineer at Capitol Studios in Hollywood. The list of fine artists that come through those studios is staggering, to name a few: Paul McCartney, The JB's, Richard Carpenter, Elliot Smith, Faith Hill… and the list of world class engineers and producers is outrageous; education through osmosis. In 2003, happy to finally have a studio to truly call home, Antoine joined The Compound Studio to help create “An Organic Recording Experience".

In this episode, we had the pleasure of chatting with two talented children's book authors, Alice Faye Duncan and Adib Khorram. Alice shared her brand new book, "I Gotta Sing," which is a delightful story about a baby who sings with barnyard animals to avoid bath time. She infused the book with the joy and energy of African American spirituals and Delta Blues, creating an interactive and engaging experience for young readers. Alice spoke passionately about the importance of bringing joy and happiness to children through her writing. She believes that each of us has a responsibility to spread joy and positivity, especially in a world that can sometimes feel heavy and overwhelming. The vibrant illustrations in "I Gotta Sing" perfectly capture this spirit of joy and movement, making it a book that kids (and their parents) will want to read again and again. We also got to know Adib Khorram and his new book, "Bijan Always Wins," which explores the competitive nature of childhood. Adib drew inspiration from his own experiences as a child, when he was obsessed with winning at everything, from video games to tying his shoes. He shared how this theme of winning and losing is something that is often ingrained in us from a very young age, and how it can shape our identities and relationships. Throughout the conversation, both authors emphasized the power of storytelling to connect people, foster empathy, and bring more light into the world. Whether it's through the uplifting spirituals in "I Gotta Sing" or the relatable struggles of a young boy in "Bijan Always Wins," these books have the potential to make a lasting impact on the lives of young readers.
