Podcast appearances and mentions of John Lee Hooker

Modern workplace culture pressures us to multitask even though research shows multitasking makes most people less productive, more stressed out and worse at their jobs. Journalist and author David Epstein joins us talk about why we need to prioritize monotasking over multitasking. His latest book is called “Inside the Box: How Constraints Make Us Better.”Marsha Battle Philpot calls herself a "primordial Detroiter," and she knows the city and its history well. Her father, Joe Battle, opened a record store in 1945 and he recorded blues guitarist John Lee Hooker, the Baptist preacher reverend C. L. Franklin, and Franklin's incredibly talented daughter, Aretha. Scott Tong talks to Marsha Battle Philpot about her father's store, her own musical education, her experience in a changing Detroit.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

"Every list of the best bands contains the same bands in the top 20 so I made a new list. I looked at several best band lists and eliminated those top 20 bands. My list gets rid of the obvious choices and gives many lesser known bands a chance. See what you think."

"Tammy and I have decided to retire from our jobs and also from creating the Rock School Radio show. I know this is the 744th show on PRX but it's actually our 997th show overall. We will do this show and three more, ending on our 1000th show. To that end, in this show we will announce some musicians who might be retiring soon themselves. We will list the oldest people touring this summer."

"For an experiment, I denoted the last ten generations and attempted to define the song of their generation. Some were easy and some quite difficult. I offer five possibilities first and then pick. See if I made the correct choice."

"I was talking about the Paul is Dead conspiracy theory in class one day and the students began asking me if I knew about THIS theory. And then THIS theory. We went on for 30 minutes and then I did some research. There were so many theories I had never heard of. Hopefully they are new to you as well. We have a long list."

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.

Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Ghalia Volt No barriers. No boundaries. That has always been Ghalia Volt's approach to American roots music. Born in Belgium and now based in New Orleans, Ghalia Volt is a blues-rock singer, guitarist, drummer, and songwriter whose music refuses to stay in one lane. Her sound reaches across borders, pulling from the flamenco and traditional Spanish music she heard through her grandparents, the punk, garage rock, and psychobilly that shaped her early taste, and the deep blues traditions of artists like Skip James, J.B. Lenoir, and John Lee Hooker. http://www.makingascene.org

"When you listen to Van Halen or Extreme or Steely Dan you expect a great guitar solo. The point of this show is to offer some examples of totally unexpected solos. These are solos in a song or a genre or by an artists that it seems to be coming out of nowhere. "

It's not very often you get to hear from the Chairman of the Board himself, but when it happens, you tape it! Martin 'Tino' Gross brought the MMHP into his studio for a historical rundown from behind the recording desk, behind the drum set, behind the mic and guitars, and from behind the television show 'Tales From The D' where Tino just won Two Michigan Emmy Awards for his historical Detroit PBS television show that debut last year.     Tino has been the person that backed John Lee Hooker, recorded Wayne Kramer, remixed R.L. Burnside, helped Eddie Harsch join the Black Crowes, and fronted the Howling Diablos. His resume is longer than the town itself. For this podcast, Dr. J, Scott and Mr. Mike were lucky to be invited into the home studio where we caught a glimpse of Tino with his family in celebration mode. He was just gearing up for his first episode with Johnny Bee, and Tino was on fire giving us Detroit musical history direct from the sources. You can't miss this episode...Crank it up NOW!

"Back on May 31st Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson chided an audience for chanting USA. Much of the audience then walked out. I wondered if this had happened before and it certainly did. We have multiple examples of an audience turning on the performer and vice versa. For many we have the audio from the stage."

"The new owners of Fender since 2020 are attempting to own the copyright on the Stratocaster body. A German court has taken them part of the way but most experts don't believe it will hold up to scrutiny. Nonetheless, Fender has sent Cease and Desist letters to multiple guitar makers telling them to stop production, call back orders and destroy stock. Fender may have just committed brand suicide because history is not on their side."

"Sony Music Publishing confirmed an agreement to acquire Blackstone's Recognition Music Group catalog for $3.5 billion. The Red Hot Chili Peppers just sold their catalog for $300 million. Other Funds are raising billions to start buying. These buyers are called Music Rights Funds. I became interested in how these Funds actually made money. How does one invest and can I sell my own music. I have the answers for you."

"It is no secret that music contracts can be rather brutal on artists. Often the stories focus on not getting paid but there is also the interesting idea of a lawsuit ordering a musician to fill his or her contract and record what we are calling a court ordered album. We have multiple examples plus one where the band was paid NOT to record an album."
