For this episode we're joined by a living musical legend whose career as an A&R man, manager, producer, label-owner and writer spans over 60 extraordinary years. On the day his monumental "journey through Global Music" And the Roots of Rhythm Remain is published, the peerless Joe Boyd visits RBP's Hammersmith HQ to talk about the book — and the 17+ years it took to write the follow-up to 2006's acclaimed memoir White Bicycles. After we hear about the 1987 meeting that led to the adoption of the now-discredited term "World Music" as a marketing category, discussion touches on the sound, rhythms and political impact of music from South Africa, Brazil, Bulgaria and — inevitably — Jamaica. Clips from John Hutchinson's 1982 audio interview with the late great Kate McGarrigle – mother of Rufus and Martha Wainwright — lead to our guest's recollections of working with her and sister Anna on their magical eponymous debut in 1975. Joe also reminisces about Junco Partner, the 1976 album he made with New Orleans piano genius James Booker. Talk of the week's featured RBP writer Robert Shelton — coinciding with the imminent reissue of the latter's epic Bob Dylan biography No Direction Home — prompts memories of the late New York Times critic from Joe, who (lest we forget) worked as stage manager at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival in which Dylan first "went electric". Many thanks to special guest Joe Boyd. And the Roots of Rhythm Remain is published by Faber in the UK and Ze Books in the US; visit Joe's website joeboyd.co.uk for more details. Pieces discussed: Joe Boyd: Freaky Galahad, Joe Boyd: An Interview, Joe Boyd on White Bicycles, Kate McGarrigle audio, Bob Dylan at Gerde's Folk City, New York, Pop Singers and Song Writers Racing Down Bob Dylan's Road and Bob Dylan: How does it feel on your own?.

My podcast is doing VERY well! Thank you for downloading, listening on Podbean, iTunes, and wherever good podcasts are found. I love doing this work. Obscure music is a passion of mine. Billy Bossman - Up The Road (1965) Junco Partner rip-off The Bompers - Do The Bomp (1965) Written by Carol Connors and Roger Christian The Creations IV - Dancin' In The Sand (1965) Featured in an episode of the Flintstones, this was the work of studio musicians including Larry Goldberg, the man entrusted to run the label's rock output. Also likely to be involved from the start was Danny Hutton, later of the Three Dog Night. Jean King - Watermelon Man (1966) Taken from her live-in-the-studio HBR long-player "Sings For The In-Crowd". Recent pro-draft duo Jan & Dean are among those supplying the live ambiance. Kenny Rogers and the First Edition - Calico Silver (1972) Kenny Rogers and the First Edition - Elvira (1970) Later, a massive hit for long-time gospel group The Statler Brothers. Skafish - Sign Of The Cross (rarely heard studio version) (1976) Jim Skafish on Facebook: "When I wrote Sign of the Cross in 1976, it was the first blatantly sacrilegious rock song in history. I was rebelling against a lifetime of religious abuse. The recording most of you know of the song is from the concert film Urgh! A Music War! You might also like the first known live recording of the song at this time, which is from my 21st birthday party concert in Chicago! The intensity is otherwordly! Get bonus points for blasting it on Sundays!" This reporter opines that the live version you know from Urgh! A Music War kicks this version's ass. Kenny Rogers and the First Edition - Tell It All, Brother (1970) Kenneth Rogers - That Crazy Feeling (1958) Kenny Rogers and the First Edition - Dirty Work (1974) A pretty awful version of the Becker/Fagen classic sound-wise, I know. But it speaks to KR's band's attempts to broaden their audience before ol' KR split for greener pastures. Kenny Rogers and the First Edition - Lena Lookie (1973) Almost prog! Jimmy Ellis (aka Orion) & "Carl Perkins" - Matchbox (1975) The Carl Perkins recording was probably way before Orion came to Sun Studios and "duetted" with Perkins. I did a whole show segment of a previous show on Orion and his "duet" with Jerry Lee Lewis. Murray's Monkeys - Gipsy [sp] (1966) Songwriter Mitch Murray and his group. Scatman Crothers - What's A Nice Kid Like You Doing In A Place Like This? (1966) Airing in March '66 on ABC, "The New Alice In Wonderland" was an animated special featuring Sammy Davis Jr. among its stellar voiceover cast. When Davis couldn't be secured for the soundtrack LP, veteran actor/musician Crothers took his place as the Cheshire Cat on the only track to see release on a 45. Simon T. Stokes - Big City Blues (1966) The First Edition - Marsha 2 AM (1967) The Riot Squad - I Take It That We're Thru (1966) Featuring Joe Meek of Telstar fame. The WC Fields Memorial Electric String Band -Hippy Elevator Operator (1966) Oh to be a record collector in the late '60s. Thema Camacho - Take Me To The River (1980) Charlie Ross - Without Your Love (Mr. Jordan) (1976) The Guess Who? - Flying On The Ground Is Wrong (1967) Sylvester & The Hot Band - Southern Man (1973) Burson Enterprise - Mr. Soul (1968)

The City of New Orleans is at risk of washing away for the second time in ten years, so EASGS presents a set of New Orleans music as tribute in this podcast, curated by the Lady Katie (though this show was actually recorded when the only Isaac on our minds was of the Hayes variety).

City of New Orleans Special(aka the GREAT cover song review)This is by no means a true 'best of' New Orleans - but enjoy some selections from the Crescent City.July 28, 1994 House of Blues, New Orleans, LAI Walk on Guilded SplintersNovermber 22, 1993 Tipitina's, New Orleans, LAJust Kissed My BabyOctober 28, 2000 Kiefer Lakefront Arena, New Orleans, LAJunco Partner >Mardi Gras in New OrleansLawyers, Guns and MoneyRed Hot Mama >SharonTroubleSoul KitchenI found a great interview where JoJo talks about this version of Junco > Mardi Gras HEREThe 10/28/00 show fetaures some great Panic moments. JB's flub of Junco Partner leads to a spirited Mardi Gras jam; yet another example of how the band's philosophy of improvisation and allowing songs to be in the moment can create some unexpected magic. The bust outs of Lawyers Guns and Money, Trouble and Soul Kitchen almost overshadow the fine Red Hot Mama > Sharon. I find myself thinking of this show when I think of New Orleans - probably because of the Mardi Gras jam.May the spirit of the music of New Orleans and, more importantly, the entire gulf coast live forever.

We start everything off with It Was You, sung by Todd. It Was You was only performed 6 times in 1997 and once in 1998.Junco is a New Orleans traditional, and Solace is a Ragtime traditional.For the longest time I thought Cardboard Box was a phantom name for a jam, along the lines of Snorkle Search. There is no Snorkle Search but there IS a Cardboard Box!The Lullabye for NYC can also be heard on Houser's solo album, Door Harp. I HIGHLY recommend this disk.Make sure to click COMMENT below to let us know what you think -DOWNLOAD the cast here:Everyday Companion Podcast #37Click here to subscribe through iTunes.PRESS PLAY TO LISTEN NOW!
