[originally published on Patreon Dec 15, 2023] After having introduced accounting concepts and laid out their applications in Jamaica, I continue my close reading of Accounting for Slavery: Masters and Management by Caitlin Rosenthal. I discuss the nature of 'book farming', the nature and origin of value, and discuss the ubiquity of King Cotton in the US and world economy. I cover the fungibility of labor, perverse concepts of depreciation, and get into the postbellum developments in the wake of the abolition of slavery. Finally, I discuss Rosenthal's background and the nature of McKinsey Consulting. episode art by Robert Voyvodich @r.voy__ Songs: My Queen is Harriet Tubman by Sons of Kemet It's A Sin To Be Rich, It's A Low-Down Shame To Be Poor by Lightnin' Hopkins Lord, Have Mercy On Me by Junior Kimbrough

W odcinku #20 podcastu Pick Please! porozmawialiśmy o historiach muzyków, którzy pomimo przeciwności losu i licznych porażek doczekali się swoich przysłowiowych 5 minut. Niektórzy dokonali tego nie pierwszy raz :)  Nazwaliśmy ten cykl  “ Historiami drugiej muzycznej szansy”. Bohaterowie? Muzyk, który nie wiedział że jest legendą w RPA, cover który zyskał nowe życie dzięki Johnemu Cash`owi (który z kolei już je powoli kończył) oraz o Bluesmanie, który swoją osobowością wprawiał w zakłopotanie samego Iggy Popa (co nie jest łatwe).

The blues is music for all time—past, present, and future—and few artists simultaneously exemplify those multiple temporal moments of the genre like North Mississippi's Cedric Burnside. The Mississippi Hill Country blues guitarist and singer/songwriter contain the legacy and future of the region's prescient sound stories. At once, African and American and southern and Mississippian, these stories tell about love, hurt, connection, and redemption in the South. His newest contribution to this tradition is I Be Trying, a 13-track album treatise on life's challenges, pleasures, and beauty. “Life can go any kind of way,” Burnside says. He would know with almost 30 years of performing and living blues in him. Burnside's blues inheritance, the North Mississippi Hill Country blues, is distinct from its Delta or Texas counterparts in its commitment to polyrhythmic percussion and its refusal of familiar blues chord progressions. Often, and especially in Burnside's care, it leads with extended riffs that become sentences or pleas or exclamations, rendering the guitar the talking drum like its West African antecedent. Riffs disappear behind and become one with the singer's voice, like the convergence of hill and horizon in the distance. Sometimes they become the only voice, saying what the singer cannot conjure the words for. Across some nine individual and collaborative album projects, Burnside's voice eases seamlessly into, through, and behind the riffs spirit gifts him, carrying listeners to a deep Mississippi well. There is a mirror there in the water of that well, in Burnside's music, that shows us who and what we have been, who we are, and what we might be if we look and heed. The 42-year-old Burnside was born in the blues as much as he was in funk, rock, soul, and hip-hop. These latter sensibilities are reflected across his work as he drives Hill Country blues into grooves that lend themselves readily to an urgent, modern moment. But he is also keenly his grandfather's grandson, who he studied so carefully over a decade playing with him that he came to know him better than his self. The elder Burnside bluesman, the hill country blues luminary RL Burnside, and his wife Alice Mae wrapped their Holly Springs land and family in warmth, joy, and music. RL Burnside, alongside collaborators and contemporaries from David “Junior” Kimbrough to Jessie Mae Hemphill and Otha Turner, cultivated the sound and feel of Black North Mississippi life and offered it up to the world. Cedric observed and absorbed this art world intently and with wonder as a child, declaring to himself, this is the music I want to play, and I want to do that for the rest of my life. Moreover, this was the offering he, too, wanted to make and the life of service to the spirit through blues that he wanted to live. By age 13, he was on the road with his “Big Daddy” Burnside, playing drums, being raised by the music and the road, and developing the next, electric generation of the Hill Country calling and sound. Burnside's two Grammy-nominated album projects— the 2015 Descendants of Hill Country and 2018's Benton County Relic—were capstone statements for a lifetime of musical labor channeling the blues spirit on drums, guitar, and vocals in the North Mississippi Hill Country tradition. I Be Trying, Burnside's second release with Alabama's Single Lock Records, is another unfolding of his influence and voice as an architect of the second generation of Hill Country blues. This album pushes just beyond his long-time roles as Hill Country blues collaborator, torchbearer, and innovator into the artist's inner life rooms. Written in reflection on and off the road in 2018, the album responds to the confusion and anger he felt in the years after a series of deaths in the family and a host of other interpersonal hurts, some he dished out and some he took. The album opens with an acoustic lament, “The World Can Be So Cold,” that encapsulates the tenderness of this pain and then quickly rallies and pleads with the Lord for help on the rousing second track and the album's first single, “Step In.” The title track, on which Burnside is accompanied on background vocals by his youngest daughter Portrika, is a plea for grace and forgiveness from a man “still learning and trying to be the best me.” Burnside's signature approach and contribution to the Hill Country genre—electricity, intention, and timeless timbre—is seamlessly complemented by star collaborators Alabama Shakes bassist Zac Cockrell, and North Mississippi All-Stars guitarist Luther Dickinson, and principal collaborator Reed Watson on drums. With lessons to impart, Burnside strips down the sound with precision so there can be no misunderstanding, allowing for space and breath where otherwise chords and reverb might be present. This portion of the offering is a guidebook for life's dark times, set to mostly minor riffs and pulsing bass and percussion rhythms that immediately set in the soul like the gospel. If you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, “Ask the Lord for revelation/so [you] can see clearer” and “keep on pushing as hard as [you] can,” he advises to a march on “Keep On Pushing”; “Be careful who you talk to/ain't no telling what they might do” he warns on “Gotta Look Out” over a menacing bass eighth-note couplet on the one and three. Recorded over a few sessions at Royal Studios in Memphis with lifelong friend and fellow North Mississippi descendant Lawrence “Boo” Mitchell, I Be Trying is Burnside boiled down by a wave of fiery blue anger from descendant to relic to human. What is left, and this is everything, is a resonant kind of love. Buoyed by his readings of Lao Tzu and rumination on his own life choices and hurts, Burnside says he is “trying his best to implement love” in his life and relationships with others. “There's not enough love shown in the world. People have a lot of regrets. The world needs more love.” In the places where love glistens on the album's surface, like in the harmonies on the anthem groove “Love Is the Key” or in the smooth, purposeful falsetto sliding over the strings on the final track, “Love You Forever,” Burnside's desire for us all to “really just try to come closer” is palpable. But this is the blues, so love is necessarily double-edged. On two covers, one of RL Burnside's “Bird Without a Feather” and another of Junior Kimbrough's “Keep Your Hands Off Her,” which Burnside titles by its signature opening threat, “Hands Off That Girl,” there is hurt and fear, quiet menace, and outright danger. “Dark,” he admits, “but what people go through.” Flashing this side of love's sword, Burnside reminds us of the complex, raw, blues people legacy that undergirds his art. Still, he says on the soaring “Love Is Key,” which is his thesis as of late, “a life filled with love is the key/yes it is.” Blues is an embodied practice that frequently crosses the boundaries of reality and fiction, and as such, Burnside appears as himself in Bill Bennett's Tempted (2001), a New Orleans-set thriller; Arliss Howard's Mississippi-based romantic comedy Big Bad Love; and Craig Brewer's Tennessee-based drama Black Snake Moan (2006). However, he also can become something other than himself. In 2021, Burnside played the title character in Don Simonton and Travis Mills' story of Texas Red, a Franklin County, Mississippi juke joint owner who was hunted by a mob for a month after defending himself from an attack and eventually caught and killed. Burnside brings a bluesman's haunted gravitas to the role, balanced about life and death and freedom even in the most unspeakable moments. Like his music, this role is ancestral blues work that honors the dead and their legacies to teach and heal new generations. Burnside recalls chopping wood and hauling water as a child, and these days he is in his garden growing food and contemplating getting some chickens. This penchant for cultivation and innovation that has always characterized his music spills over to the land, especially in this moment of shift wrought by pandemic life. On a hunting trip to Montana, Burnside connected to nature and his interior life in a new way. This feeling, one of opening, was a revelation to him. It underscores his love strivings and, along with his studies of the Dao, even changes how he structures and writes songs. It is a process of “realizing what was already there,” he says, of remembering. Love is vital, and love is work. Burnside's turn inward has him considering his place in the family legacy of professional blues musicians. He is a proud father of three daughters, ages 22, 18, and 15, all of whom can play drums and guitar, and is looking forward to more collaborations like the one with the youngest Burnside daughter on “I Be Trying.” Striving for transparency with his children about his own life, he lets them know not to be too hard on themselves. He says Big Daddy always cared for his family, including his 13 children and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Despite his touring schedule, Burnside is deeply grateful for his capacity to support and be present for his children. He says, “I have been there, and I will be there.” That's for sure about the past, present, and future of the North Mississippi Hill Country blues, too.

We are so excited to have Damion "Yella P" Pearson from Memphissippi Sounds on No Simple Road this week! One fated summer night in 2017 the paths of two uniquely gifted and talented Memphis musicians aligned in a club on Beale Street. Cameron Kimbrough, grandson of Junior Kimbrough and native of the famed Mississippi hill country, brought his raw, stripped-down rhythms from the fresh, open air of Potts Camp, MS, to the crowded room. As the audience took in Kimbrough's beats from the drums, they were blessed by the powerful and mesmerizing voice of Damion “Yella P” Pearson's harmonica. Kimbrough had grown up hearing the blues from his grandfather's juke joint, and later taught himself to play.Yella P. was also self-taught on the harmonica, first picking it up at age 13 and honing his style while listening to the blues on Beale Street.Yella P takes us to school on the difference between 'Hill Country' Blues and 'Memphis Style' Blues, how Sesame Street was his inspiration for playing the harp, how he knew he was supposed to be playing with Cameron, what it was like recording in legendary Sun Studios, and a whole lot more!Head over to www.memphissippisounds.com for all their tour dates and more!SONG AT THE BEGINNING OF THE INTERVIEW: 'Crosroads' off the new album 'Welcome To The Land'SONG AT THE END OF THE INTERVIEW: 'Go Downtown' off the new album 'Welcome To The Land'FOR FREE SHIPPING from Shop Tour Bus Use The PROMO CODE: nosimpleroadFor 20% off Sunset Lake CBD PROMO CODE: NSR20 For 25% off Electric Fish Lights PROMO CODE: NSR INTRO MUSIC BY AND USED WITH OUR GRATITUDE AND THE PERMISSION OF:ANDREW HENDRYXOUTRO MUSIC BY AND USED WITH OUR GRATITUDE AND THE PERMISSION OF:CHILLDREN OF INDIGONo Simple Road is part of OSIRIS MEDIA.

Austin-based guitarist, songwriter, and vocalist Carl “Buffalo” Nichols wants to remind folks of the value of the blues as a cultural art form. “Listening to this record, I want more Black people to hear themselves in this music that is truly theirs.” The self-described music nerd considers Delta blues, Chicago blues, West African Malian guitar rhythms, and the African ancestry of the clawhammer banjo in his sonic experimentation and ongoing study of chords and riffs. Nichols, who lived in Milwaukee for most of his life save for his overseas travels, is Fat Possum Records' first blues signing in nearly 20 years and “is grateful to be part of the label's legacy of blues music that also includes Junior Kimbrough and R.L. Burnside,” (Austin Monthly). For his remote performances, Buffalo Nichols wields both a hollow body Fender guitar and a resonator-style guitar, as he plays tunes from his self-titled record. - Caryn Havlik  Set list: “These Things”, “How to Love,” “Lost and Lonesome”   “These Things”:  “How to Love”: “Lost and Lonesome”:

 ... et nos invités Pascal Danaë, Tia Gouttebel et Marc Glomeau. (Rediffusion) Pascal Danaë présente le nouvel et 2ème album de Delgres 4 Ed Maten. C'est comme si tout ce que j'avais accompli jusqu'à présent m'avait conduit à vivre ce moment-là. Le moment dont parle Pascal Danaë est celui où Delgres a cessé d'être à ses yeux un énième projet pour devenir le tournant d'une carrière. Mais qu'est-ce donc que ce groupe Delgres ? Un trio de blues caribéen, un blues d'aujourd'hui chanté le plus souvent en créole né, il y a déjà quatre ans, de la rencontre de Pascal avec le batteur Baptiste Brondy et le joueur de sousaphone Rafgee. C'est surtout une aventure intime, un voyage intérieur où la musique devient le véhicule imaginaire, quoique vibrant, d'un vécu personnel, d'une histoire familiale. Et plus l'élargissement, du destin d'une partie du monde connu par le déracinement et la difficile conquête d'une identité. Auteur, compositeur, multi-instrumentiste et chanteur, Pascal a offert de pouvoir présenter un CV long comme un livret d'opéra, riche et varié comme le menu d'un banquet de noces, et sait parfaitement où il en est de ce valeureux parcours, remémoré ici dans la chanson Vivre sur La Route. Lui qui a accumulé tant d'expérience au cours de ses multiples vies, à Paris, Londres et Amsterdam, s'est illustré avec un album solo en 2007 (Londres-Paris) pour ensuite connaître une première consécration avec le trio afro-brésilien Rivière Noire (Meilleur album de Musiques du monde aux Victoires de la Musique 2015), n'ignorez rien de la valeur des étapes franchies ni des petites conquêtes quotidiennes. Avec Rivière Noire, il s'est senti légitimé dans sa quête d'authenticité, raffermi dans son désir de prendre la musique par la racine.    Tout est parti de la guitare Dobro. J'étais à Amsterdam quand j'ai commencé à jouer. Cet instrument, le sentiment d'éloignement, s'ajoutait à celui d'être un peu à la croisée de différents chemins professionnels, m'ont instinctivement amené à faire du blues, musique que j'avais déjà approchée mais indirectement, à travers le jazz. Le créole que j'ai appris à la maison, et un peu chanté autrefois, s'est aussitôt invité. De retour à Paris, il cherche à approfondir le sillon avec des gens dont il partage la sensibilité. Il se tourne d'abord vers le batteur Baptiste Brondy qu'il a eu loisir de côtoyer au sein de Rivière Noire. Pour la basse, en revanche, j'avais la vision d'une fanfare de carnaval, comme il y en a aux Antilles ou à La Nouvelle-Orléans, où le rôle est tenu par le sousaphone. Après quelques recherches, il prend contact avec Rafgee, trompettiste diplômé du Conservatoire de Paris qui intègre régulièrement son gros tuba-contrebasse dans un orchestre animant les bals antillais. Rafgee connaît mieux que moi la biguine et le quadrille, reconnaît Pascal. Il est le seul à pouvoir marier Moussorgski à la mazurka dans un orchestre mandingue, lit-on d'ailleurs dans un article consacré au trio.          Une des premières chansons à voir le jour, Mo Jodi, va se révéler décisive. Elle s'inspire de l'héroïsme d'un personnage incontournable de la lutte contre l'esclavage dans les Antilles françaises, Louis Delgrès. En 1802, ce colonel d'infanterie de l'Armée française a, en vertu de la devise révolutionnaire "Vivre Libre ou Mourir", préféré la mort à la captivité après s'être rebellé contre les troupes napoléoniennes. Le morceau Mo Jodi (Mourir aujourd'hui) rend hommage à son sacrifice. Du coup, la figure de Louis Delgrès a accompagné le prêté mûrissement du groupe, à tel point que lui donner son nom s'est imposé comme une évidence. Symboliquement, ce choix qui n'est pas anodin facilitera l'épanouissement à travers le créole de sentiments intimes et collectifs longtemps réprimés parce que liés à cette histoire destructrice sur laquelle règne encore beaucoup d'opacité. Sentiments de colère face au rejet dans Ramené Mwen, de révolte dans Anko. Fruit de l'exaspération qu'engendre la surdité des tout-puissants dans Monsieur le Président. Ou résulte d'un sursaut d'amour-propre et de dignité dans Respecté Nou. Manière pudique de confesser une culpabilité dans Pardoné Mwen. Ou sentiment bouleversant d'émotion quand on s'adresse à un proche à qui l'on n'a pu dire adieu dans Séré mwen pli fo, chanté en duo par Pascal Danaë avec une fidèle complice, Skye Edwards de Morcheeba. Nombre de chansons de ce premier recueil révèlent une blessure, une lésion ou un traumatisme qui sont confiés au pouvoir guérisseur de cette musique parmi les plus universelles et miraculeuses qui soit: le blues. Mais, le miracle serait resté incomplet sans l'apaisante légèreté d'un Ti Mamzelle ou le doux fatalisme d'un Chak jou bon dié fè (en français: Chaque jour que le Bon Dieu fait). Enfin, n'oublions pas la passagère spirituelle clandestine de cette chaloupe bravant la tempête d'un passé douloureux pour mieux affronter les futurs futurs: Louise Danaë, trisaïeule guadeloupéenne de Pascal, dont il a retrouvé la lettre d'affranchissement datant de 1841.C'est la première fois que je peux me libérer aussi franchement de toutes ces émotions. Au point que Delgres, outre une passionnante aventure musicale et humaine, est devenu une sorte de cellule psychologique…   De cette odyssée à travers le temps et les continents, la guitare Dobro reste le gouvernail intraitable, avec sa vibration particulière qui donne cette couleur primaire à la musique, ce grain de vie qui pimentait déjà les meilleurs enregistrements de Hound Dog Taylor, de Taj Mahal et de JJ Cale. À cet héritage, Delgres apporte une relecture enivrante. Car à la touche caribéenne de Pascal Danaë, s'ajoutent la puissante pulsation des fûts de Baptiste Brondy et les lignes de basses reptiliennes du tuba de Rafgee. La musique fascinante qu'ils produisent est celle est d'un power trio unique, proche aussi des univers des Black Keys et de Hanni El Khatib, entre rock sous hypnose, soul tellurique et garage abrasif. Le stade ultime, peut-être, de cette créolité féconde dans laquelle le penseur Édouard Glissant croyait voir la promesse d'un monde moins barbare et plus fraternel. Francis Dordor.   Titres diffusés de Delgres, Cd 4 Ed Maten (Pias 2021) 4 Ed Maten voir le clip Aléas voir le clip Se Mo La  L'école  Lundi, Mardi, Mercredi.    Puis nous recevons Tia Gouttebel et Marc Glomeau du trio Muddy Gurdy pour la sortie du nouvel album Homecoming. Une chanteuse-guitariste de blues, un percussionniste spécialiste des rythmes latinos, un joueur de vielle à roue expert des musiques traditionnelles du centre de la France. A priori, ces trois-là n'auraient jamais dû se rencontrer. Et ils se sont rencontrés, forcément au croisement de routes différentes, et plus précisément sur le crossroad du blues. Au printemps 2017, Tia Gouttebel (chant-guitare), Marco Glomeau (percussions) et Gilles Chabenat (vielle à roue) partent enregistrer dans le nord du Mississippi, dit "le pays des collines", là où prolifèrent le kudzu et une forme de blues hypnotique jadis chanté par Fred McDowell, Jessie Mae Hemphill, Junior Kimbrough ou RL Burnside. C'est un voyage initiatique autant qu'éthique voir le film. Éthique, parce qu'ils n'y vont pas pour les clichés touristiques. Plutôt pour un échange de cultures, une vraie rencontre, invitant des locaux à partager leur musique, enregistrant sur le terrain avec un studio mobile. Les musiciens du Mississippi n'avaient jamais vu, ni entendu de vielle à roue avant. Mais entre gens de la terre, parce que la Terre est ronde, on se reconnaît, on se comprend. Initiatique, parce que ce voyage signe l'acte de naissance de Muddy Gurdy. L'album est imprégné de la magie du Mississippi. C'est un coup de cœur, un succès critique et commercial, salué et diffusé jusqu'aux États-Unis. Avec cet album, Muddy Gurdy tourne beaucoup et emballe un nouveau public (parce qu'en plus, ils sont drôles et attachants sur scène). En février 2020, juste avant que le monde ne s'arrête de tourner et les avions de voler, ils sont sélectionnés au festival Folk Alliance de La Nouvelle-Orléans, où ils enregistrent un morceau pour les archives de la prestigieuse Bibliothèque du Congrès.   Pour la suite, le défi est de taille : comment faire mieux ou tout aussi bien, sans refaire pareil ? Comment se renouveler tout en restant soi-même ? Le meilleur blues est celui qui se décline sans se répéter. Et celui qui ne se coupe pas de ses racines, de son histoire. Après avoir exploré in situ les sources américaines de sa musique, Muddy Gurdy va retrouver ses propres racines. Basé à quelques kilomètres de Clermont-Ferrand, le trio planifie son nouvel enregistrement en Auvergne, avec des musiciens locaux emblématiques, bande annonce. L'enregistrement est itinérant. Dans une grange, près du lac de Guéry, où le groupe a posé son bivouac. Dans une chapelle du XIIè siècle, perdue au fond d'une gorge près du plateau du Cézallier. Dans une autre petite chapelle avec le Sancy en ligne de mire. Dans l'ancienne salle de bal d'un bistro de montagne, où la tenancière voit passer plus de vaches que de clients. Dans le cratère d'un volcan en pleine nuit, à la lumière de torches. Tirer des câbles vers des endroits où il n'y a pas l'électricité, marcher longtemps avec le matériel sur le dos, faire avec le vent qui souffle fort… Cet enregistrement réalisé en août 2020 est encore une aventure, et une histoire de rencontres.  Les invités sont les frères Champion, deux solides gaillards qui dansent la bourrée, organisent des bals et ont créé dans la Combraille un centre d'apprentissage des musiques et danses traditionnelles.  Les frères Champion font partie de ces Auvergnats qui ont fait évoluer le patrimoine culturel populaire rural et l'ont sorti du folklorisme. Tout comme Louis Jacques, qui joue de la cornemuse électrifiée dans le groupe électro-trad Super Parquet. Et puis Guillaume Vardoz à l'harmonica, un jeune musicien qui ne joue pas comme dans le blues, mais dans la tradition auvergnate, où cet accordéon de poche est l'ami des bergers.  Ce genre de correspondance entre deux musiques séparées par des milliers de kilomètres, c'est l'âme nomade de Muddy Gurdy. La vielle à roue de Gilles Chabenat, aussi hypnotique que la guitare de Junior Kimbrough, en est l'essence. Mais on en trouve un autre exemple sur l'album avec le briolage pratiqué par Maxence Latrémolière, un jeune musicien par ailleurs auteur d'un mémoire sur le sujet. Le briolage est un chant de travail pratiqué par les laboureurs du Centre France depuis le XVIIIè siècle, et dont l'écho croise celui du holler américain. Comme les bluesmen du Mississippi sur l'album précédent, tous ces musiciens sont enracinés dans un terroir, ils en sont même les plus beaux fruits et ont leur raison d'être sur ce nouvel album. On ne va pas ici déflorer l'album. Le mieux est de l'écouter, de découvrir comment le répertoire du blues chéri par Tia Gouttebel (des reprises de Jessie Mae Hemphill, JB Lenoir, Fred McDowell) s'accommode au climat auvergnat. Comment on peut danser la bourrée et le boogie en même temps. Comment les compositions embrassent les reprises. Comment un bouleversant Strange Fruit peut pousser dans le cratère d'un volcan. Dans Muddy Gurdy, il y a toujours des histoires de correspondances, entre des territoires, des paysages, des époques, des lieux et des hommes. Dans le monde créole, on parle de "musique péi". Muddy Gurdy invente sa propre "musique péi", ses croisements intimes et fertiles. À ce niveau de correspondances, on peut parler de transcendance. Stéphane Deschamps.         Titres diffusés de Muddy Gurdy, Cd Homecoming (Chantilly Negra 2021) Lord help the Poor and Needy  Black Madonna You Gotta Move Strange Fruit   Bonus track Living in a Memory d'Archie Lee Hooker & The Coast to Coast Blues Band, extrait de l'album Living In A Memory (Dixiefrog 2021) Voir le clip It's a Jungle Out There.

Cet instrument, le sentiment d'éloignement, s'ajoutait à celui d'être un peu à la croisée de différents chemins professionnels, m'ont instinctivement amené à faire du blues, musique que j'avais déjà approchée mais indirectement, à travers le jazz. Le créole que j'ai appris à la maison, et un peu chanté autrefois, s'est aussitôt invité. De retour à Paris, il cherche à approfondir le sillon avec des gens dont il partage la sensibilité. Il se tourne d'abord vers le batteur Baptiste Brondy qu'il a eu loisir de côtoyer au sein de Rivière Noire. Pour la basse, en revanche, j'avais la vision d'une fanfare de carnaval, comme il y en a aux Antilles ou à La Nouvelle-Orléans, où le rôle est tenu par le sousaphone. Après quelques recherches, il prend contact avec Rafgee, trompettiste diplômé du Conservatoire de Paris qui intègre régulièrement son gros tuba-contrebasse dans un orchestre animant les bals antillais. Rafgee connaît mieux que moi la biguine et le quadrille, reconnaît Pascal. Il est le seul à pouvoir marier Moussorgski à la mazurka dans un orchestre mandingue, lit-on d'ailleurs dans un article consacré au trio.          Une des premières chansons à voir le jour, Mo Jodi, va se révéler décisive. Elle s'inspire de l'héroïsme d'un personnage incontournable de la lutte contre l'esclavage dans les Antilles françaises, Louis Delgrès. En 1802, ce colonel d'infanterie de l'Armée française a, en vertu de la devise révolutionnaire "Vivre Libre ou Mourir", préféré la mort à la captivité après s'être rebellé contre les troupes napoléoniennes. Le morceau Mo Jodi (Mourir aujourd'hui) rend hommage à son sacrifice. Du coup, la figure de Louis Delgrès a accompagné le prêté mûrissement du groupe, à tel point que lui donner son nom s'est imposé comme une évidence. Symboliquement, ce choix qui n'est pas anodin facilitera l'épanouissement à travers le créole de sentiments intimes et collectifs longtemps réprimés parce que liés à cette histoire destructrice sur laquelle règne encore beaucoup d'opacité. Sentiments de colère face au rejet dans Ramené Mwen, de révolte dans Anko. Fruit de l'exaspération qu'engendre la surdité des tout-puissants dans Monsieur le Président. Ou résulte d'un sursaut d'amour-propre et de dignité dans Respecté Nou. Manière pudique de confesser une culpabilité dans Pardoné Mwen. Ou sentiment bouleversant d'émotion quand on s'adresse à un proche à qui l'on n'a pu dire adieu dans Séré mwen pli fo, chanté en duo par Pascal Danaë avec une fidèle complice, Skye Edwards de Morcheeba. Nombre de chansons de ce premier recueil révèlent une blessure, une lésion ou un traumatisme qui sont confiés au pouvoir guérisseur de cette musique parmi les plus universelles et miraculeuses qui soit: le blues. Mais, le miracle serait resté incomplet sans l'apaisante légèreté d'un Ti Mamzelle ou le doux fatalisme d'un Chak jou bon dié fè (en français: Chaque jour que le Bon Dieu fait). Enfin, n'oublions pas la passagère spirituelle clandestine de cette chaloupe bravant la tempête d'un passé douloureux pour mieux affronter les futurs futurs: Louise Danaë, trisaïeule guadeloupéenne de Pascal, dont il a retrouvé la lettre d'affranchissement datant de 1841.C'est la première fois que je peux me libérer aussi franchement de toutes ces émotions. Au point que Delgres, outre une passionnante aventure musicale et humaine, est devenu une sorte de cellule psychologique…   De cette odyssée à travers le temps et les continents, la guitare Dobro reste le gouvernail intraitable, avec sa vibration particulière qui donne cette couleur primaire à la musique, ce grain de vie qui pimentait déjà les meilleurs enregistrements de Hound Dog Taylor, de Taj Mahal et de JJ Cale. À cet héritage, Delgres apporte une relecture enivrante. Car à la touche caribéenne de Pascal Danaë, s'ajoutent la puissante pulsation des fûts de Baptiste Brondy et les lignes de basses reptiliennes du tuba de Rafgee. La musique fascinante qu'ils produisent est celle est un power trio unique, proche aussi des univers des Black Keys et de Hanni El Khatib, entre rock sous hypnose, soul tellurique et garage abrasif. Le stade ultime, peut-être, de cette créolité féconde dans laquelle le penseur Édouard Glissant croyait voir la promesse d'un monde moins barbare et plus fraternel. Francis Dordor.   Titres diffusés de Delgres, Cd 4 Ed Maten (Pias 2021) 4 Ed Maten voir le clip Aléas voir le clip Se Mo La  L’école  Lundi, Mardi, Mercredi.    Puis nous recevons Tia Gouttebel et Marc Glomeau du trio Muddy Gurdy pour la sortie du nouvel album Homecoming. Une chanteuse-guitariste de blues, un percussionniste spécialiste des rythmes latinos, un joueur de vielle à roue expert des musiques traditionnelles du centre de la France. A priori, ces trois-là n’auraient jamais dû se rencontrer. Et ils se sont rencontrés, forcément au croisement de routes différentes, et plus précisément sur le crossroad du blues. Au printemps 2017, Tia Gouttebel (chant-guitare), Marco Glomeau (percussions) et Gilles Chabenat (vielle à roue) partent enregistrer dans le nord du Mississippi, dit "le pays des collines", là où prolifèrent le kudzu et une forme de blues hypnotique jadis chanté par Fred McDowell, Jessie Mae Hemphill, Junior Kimbrough ou RL Burnside. C’est un voyage initiatique autant qu’éthique voir le film. Éthique, parce qu’ils n’y vont pas pour les clichés touristiques. Plutôt pour un échange de cultures, une vraie rencontre, invitant des locaux à partager leur musique, enregistrant sur le terrain avec un studio mobile. Les musiciens du Mississippi n’avaient jamais vu, ni entendu de vielle à roue avant. Mais entre gens de la terre, parce que la Terre est ronde, on se reconnaît, on se comprend. Initiatique, parce que ce voyage signe l’acte de naissance de Muddy Gurdy. L’album est imprégné de la magie du Mississippi. C’est un coup de cœur, un succès critique et commercial, salué et diffusé jusqu’aux États-Unis. Avec cet album, Muddy Gurdy tourne beaucoup et emballe un nouveau public (parce qu’en plus, ils sont drôles et attachants sur scène). En février 2020, juste avant que le monde ne s’arrête de tourner et les avions de voler, ils sont sélectionnés au festival Folk Alliance de La Nouvelle-Orléans, où ils enregistrent un morceau pour les archives de la prestigieuse Bibliothèque du Congrès.   Pour la suite, le défi est de taille : comment faire mieux ou tout aussi bien, sans refaire pareil ? Comment se renouveler tout en restant soi-même ? Le meilleur blues est celui qui se décline sans se répéter. Et celui qui ne se coupe pas de ses racines, de son histoire. Après avoir exploré in situ les sources américaines de sa musique, Muddy Gurdy va retrouver ses propres racines. Basé à quelques kilomètres de Clermont-Ferrand, le trio planifie son nouvel enregistrement en Auvergne, avec des musiciens locaux emblématiques, bande annonce. L’enregistrement est itinérant. Dans une grange, près du lac de Guéry, où le groupe a posé son bivouac. Dans une chapelle du XIIè siècle, perdue au fond d’une gorge près du plateau du Cézallier. Dans une autre petite chapelle avec le Sancy en ligne de mire. Dans l’ancienne salle de bal d’un bistro de montagne, où la tenancière voit passer plus de vaches que de clients. Dans le cratère d’un volcan en pleine nuit, à la lumière de torches. Tirer des câbles vers des endroits où il n’y a pas l’électricité, marcher longtemps avec le matériel sur le dos, faire avec le vent qui souffle fort… Cet enregistrement réalisé en août 2020 est encore une aventure, et une histoire de rencontres.  Les invités sont les frères Champion, deux solides gaillards qui dansent la bourrée, organisent des bals et ont créé dans la Combraille un centre d’apprentissage des musiques et danses traditionnelles.  Les frères Champion font partie de ces Auvergnats qui ont fait évoluer le patrimoine culturel populaire rural et l’ont sorti du folklorisme. Tout comme Louis Jacques, qui joue de la cornemuse électrifiée dans le groupe électro-trad Super Parquet. Et puis Guillaume Vardoz à l’harmonica, un jeune musicien qui ne joue pas comme dans le blues, mais dans la tradition auvergnate, où cet accordéon de poche est l’ami des bergers.  Ce genre de correspondance entre deux musiques séparées par des milliers de kilomètres, c’est l’âme nomade de Muddy Gurdy. La vielle à roue de Gilles Chabenat, aussi hypnotique que la guitare de Junior Kimbrough, en est l’essence. Mais on en trouve un autre exemple sur l’album avec le briolage pratiqué par Maxence Latrémolière, un jeune musicien par ailleurs auteur d’un mémoire sur le sujet. Le briolage est un chant de travail pratiqué par les laboureurs du Centre France depuis le XVIIIè siècle, et dont l’écho croise celui du holler américain. Comme les bluesmen du Mississippi sur l’album précédent, tous ces musiciens sont enracinés dans un terroir, ils en sont même les plus beaux fruits et ont leur raison d’être sur ce nouvel album. On ne va pas ici déflorer l’album. Le mieux est de l’écouter, de découvrir comment le répertoire du blues chéri par Tia Gouttebel (des reprises de Jessie Mae Hemphill, JB Lenoir, Fred McDowell) s’accommode au climat auvergnat. Comment on peut danser la bourrée et le boogie en même temps. Comment les compositions embrassent les reprises. Comment un bouleversant Strange Fruit peut pousser dans le cratère d’un volcan. Dans Muddy Gurdy, il y a toujours des histoires de correspondances, entre des territoires, des paysages, des époques, des lieux et des hommes. Dans le monde créole, on parle de "musique péi". Muddy Gurdy invente sa propre "musique péi", ses croisements intimes et fertiles. À ce niveau de correspondances, on peut parler de transcendance.

Adia Victoria hails from Spartanburg, South Carolina, informally known as “The Upstate” just a few miles down Highway 9 from the trucks hurtling along Interstate 85 between Charlotte, North Carolina and Atlanta, Georgia to the south. This geographical background heavily informs her music, which is often referred to as “gothic blues” and takes inspiration from Black blues artists like Robert Johnson, Skip James, John Lee Hooker, Junior Kimbrough, and RL Burnside. For Live on KEXP, Troy Nelson maps her physical journey from South Carolina to New York to Atlanta as well as her musical journey from early loves The Strokes and The Black Keys to ending up working with founding member of another well-known “The” band, Aaron Dessner, on her latest full-length, 2019’s ‘Silences.' Telling Dessner she wanted the record to sound like, “Billie Holiday got lost in a Radiohead song,” the album is a dense and expansive expression of the blues in the hands of a creatively independent woman of color unafraid to explore.

DANNY BURNS is a red-headed, storytelling, hard-touring Irishman whose own voice is just as evocative as his songwriting. He grew up in the Irish county of Donegal surrounded by singers and instrumentalists receiving a first-class education in Irish folk music along the way. He kicked off his career as a traveling folksinger, logging shows on both sides of the Atlantic. He's been on the road ever since, sharpening a sound that mixes the folk traditions of his native Ireland with diverse American influences. ‘North Country’ is Danny’s new collaborative album filled with appearances by icons like Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, and Tift Merritt. REED TURCHI was raised in the Swannanoa valley of Western North Carolina and grew up playing piano, focusing on boogie woogie and New Orleans styles before becoming infatuated with slide guitar. While learned Hill Country Blues (RL Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, Mississippi Fred McDowell) firsthand in North Mississippi, he’s become a master of guitar driven blues that shapeshift seamlessly between acoustic slide, electric juke joint boogie, and the improvisational, groove-driven, massive sound of his band. Reed’s eleventh album, ‘Midnight in Memphis’ was recorded live at legendary Sun Studio featuring his Kudzu Choir band. WoodSongs Kid: Christian Gisborne is a sixteen-year-old indie rock & roll singer and songwriter from LA.

David Moss visits the Gateway and tells of his lifelong infatuation with Bob Dylan and his 70s masterwork "Blood On The Tracks." Introduced to both Dylan and guitar by his father, David has continued to share these passions with his own son. He regales Howard about how these passions led him to Nashville to meet guitar legend Junior Kimbrough and then to Gary Wright's recording studio to record his own material. And of course they discuss Dylan's unique songwriting method and live performance style.

He's been on the road ever since, sharpening a sound that mixes the folk traditions of his native Ireland with diverse American influences. ‘North Country' is Danny's new collaborative album filled with appearances by icons like Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, and Tift Merritt. REED TURCHI was raised in the Swannanoa valley of Western North Carolina and grew up playing piano, focusing on boogie woogie and New Orleans styles before becoming infatuated with slide guitar. While learned Hill Country Blues (RL Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, Mississippi Fred McDowell) firsthand in North Mississippi, he's become a master of guitar driven blues that shapeshift seamlessly between acoustic slide, electric juke joint boogie, and the improvisational, groove-driven, massive sound of his band. Reed's eleventh album, ‘Midnight in Memphis' was recorded live at legendary Sun Studio featuring his Kudzu Choir band. WoodSongs Kid: Christian Gisborne is a sixteen-year-old indie rock & roll singer and songwriter from LA.

In this episode of TrueFire Live, we sit down with slide guitarist extraordinaire, Luther Dickinson, to discuss his guitar course on Mississippi Slide guitar. To learn more and watch the video from this live session, please visit truefire.com/live.About Luther Dickinson: Luther Dickinson is the lead guitarist and vocalist for the North Mississippi Allstars and the son of record producer Jim Dickinson. He was born in West Tennessee to Mary Lindsay and Jim Dickinson, a Memphis record producer. Dickinson grew up playing concerts and gaining recording experience with his father and brother, Cody. The family moved to the hills of North Mississippi in 1985. Dickinson befriended the musical families of Otha Turner, R. L. Burnside, and Junior Kimbrough. They were the inspiration for Luther and Cody Dickinson to form the North Mississippi Allstars in 1996. The North Mississippi Allstars have been nominated for three Grammy Awards in the Best Contemporary Blues category. Dickinson produced two records on Otha Turner, Everybody Hollerin' Goat and From Senegal To Senatobia. Jazz critic Ted Gioia chose Blues & Ballads: A Folksinger's Songbook, Volumes 1 & 2 (New West, 2016) for the eleventh spot on his list of the top 100 albums of the year.In November 2007 Dickinson joined The Black Crowes. His recording debut with the band was on Warpaint in 2008, and he has since appeared on the 2009 Black Crowes release Before the Frost - Until the Freeze. Dickinson decided not to join The Black Crowes for their 2013 tour. Dickinson currently tours with the North Mississippi Allstars[5] and as a member of the Southern Soul Assembly. In 2014, Gibson issued a signature model for him, the Luther Dickinson ES-335, with the most notable modification being the P-90 pickups replacing the standard humbuckers.Luther Dickinson and Sisters of the Strawberry Moon’s debut album, Solstice, comes complete with a great soundtrack and an impeccable guest list, one that boasts Amy Helm, Birds of Chicago, Amy LaVere, and Shardé Thomas among others. And like any good host, Dickinson manages to put the spotlight on his friends here, taking a step back from the microphone in order to focus his efforts behind the scenes and flex his considerable muscles as both a producer and a guitarist. The result is an album that stands apart in Dickinson’s extensive catalog, a collection that brings together some of the most captivating female voices in modern American roots music and filters each of their distinctive personalities through a singular vision of artistic community and musical exploration.

CEDRIC BURNSIDE still lives on several acres not far from the Holly Springs, Mississippi, home where he was raised by “Big Daddy,” his grandfather, the late singer/songwriter/guitarist R.L. Burnside whom Cedric famously played with, just as his own father, drummer Calvin Jackson, did. Cedric was literally born to the blues, more specifically, the “rhythmically unorthodox” Hill country variant which emerged from Mississippi, where he grew up surrounded (and influenced) by Junior Kimbrough, Jessie May Hemphill and Otha Turner, as well as delta musicians T-Model Ford and Paul “Wine” Jones. This Grammy-nominated and Blues Music Awards winner latest is ‘Benton County Relic’ which brings the blues alive for a new generation. THE FARMER & ADELE are reimaging the modern cowboy/cowgirl while respecting its beginnings. Based out of Nashville, TN, The Farmer & Adele – led by Grace Adele and Keenan Wade – leads the pack of a new wave of musicians revitalizing western swing music. With a star-studded record, award nominations and their own morning radio show on WSM’s Route 650, The Farmer & Adele are a one-two punch of classic meets modern. The band’s debut effort, ‘Into the Wide Open Sky’, combines original compositions rooted in familiar styles of the American landscape. Traces of classic country, jazz and Tin Pan Alley songwriting interweave throughout the group’s top-notch musicianship. WoodSongs Kid: Liam Farley is a nine-year-old fiddle champion from Chapman, West Virginia.

OUTRAGEOUS CHERRY "Gotta Get Back Inside Your Mind" Meet You In The Shadows Burger Records (2019) https://burgerrecords.11spot.com/outrageous-cherry-meet-me-in-the-shadows.html Outrageous Cherry combined psychedelia, folk rock, art rock, and bubblegum music across more than 12 albums and nearly three decades. They attracted an international cult following and were a longstanding fixture in the Detroit rock and roll scene since their first gigs in 1991. MEET YOU IN THE SHADOWS is their final studio album, completed before the passing of founding lead guitarist Larry Ray. Some of the songs, like "Lies Feel Good" and "Creeps Retreat", address contemporary social and political turmoil, while "The Beginning of the End of the Night" and "Complicate Me" are more of a psychological hall of mirrors. The title track, "Meet You in the Shadows" is all of these things at once. The musicians are the same lineup that recorded the previous Outrageous Cherry album on Burger Records, THE DIGITAL AGE: Matthew Smith- vocals, guitar, keyboards Larry Ray - lead guitar Colleen Burke - bass Maria Nuccilli -drums ...with backing vocals by everyone. Outrageous Cherry began in 1991, playing gigs in coffee houses, bars, and art galleries. Like the Gories, who were on the Detroit scene a few years before them, O.C. used a minimal drum kit with no cymbals, which allowed the full range of their guitar tonalities to be heard without having to turn their amps up to 10. Their self-titled debut album was released in 1994 on Bar/None Records, followed by a sequence of albums on different labels, including a couple of years signed to Alan McGee's Poptones label. O.C. toured the USA and Europe, and were sometimes an opening act for bands like Wilco, Yo La Tengo, Stereolab, The Soundtrack of Our Lives, Guided by Voices and others. The New Pornographers were also fans of the group and recorded an e.p. of Outrageous Cherry covers. Despite their prolific songwriting tendencies, Outrageous Cherry's best known song is probably their cover of Junior Kimbrough's somewhat psychedelic blues number "Lord Have Mercy on Me", which appeared on a 2005 tribute LP with the reformed Stooges, and later was used in the opening credits of the film "Black Snake Moan". Outrageous Cherry's music also reached a wider audience thanks to Little Steven Van Zandt, who regularly plays O.C. on his radio show, and also curated a CD compilation of his favorite O.C. tracks. The band was always working on new songs and new recordings, even while Matthew Smith was busy producing artists like the Go, Andre Williams, Nathaniel Mayer, and touring with Rodriguez, Crime and the City Solution, and the Volebeats. The band had a few personnel changes through the years in the rhythm section, but Matthew and Larry had a solid musical chemistry. The blend of Larry's lead guitar and Matthew's lead vocals was always inspiring them to keep cranking out records. MEET YOU IN THE SHADOWS finds Larry's guitar solos blasting over and under the vocal melodies and harmonies in as good an example of this chemistry as any of their previous records. On "The Last Nice Guy in Detroit", you can hear Outrageous Cherry in their kitchen rehearsal space and studio, playing a song they've just learned how to play, and then mixing it immediately with no overdubs at all, because it sounded fine right there in the room. In this track you can hear the band doing exactly what they would've been doing at their first rehearsal 25 years earlier. They didn't take these musical happenings for granted, knowing well that it's not easy to keep a musical entity thriving and relevant for so many years. They would look at how long Slade stayed together, or the fact that Kraftwerk were soon coming to town, and this was all the encouragement they needed to keep jamming and writing and recording.

From the publisher: The fabled city of Memphis has been essential to American music-home of the blues, the birthplace of rock and roll, a soul music capital. We know the greatest hits, but celebrated author Robert Gordon takes us to the people and places history has yet to record. A Memphis native, he whiles away time in a crumbling duplex with blues legend Furry Lewis, stays up late with barrelhouse piano player Mose Vinson, and sips homemade whiskey at Junior Kimbrough's churning house parties. A passionate listener, he hears modern times deep in the grooves of old records by Lead Belly and Robert Johnson. The interconnected profiles and stories in Memphis Rent Party convey more than a region. Like mint seeping into bourbon, Gordon gets into the wider world. He beholds the beauty of mistakes with producer Jim Dickinson (Replacements, Rolling Stones), charts the stars with Alex Chilton (Box Tops, Big Star), and mulls the tragedy of Jeff Buckley's fatal swim. Gordon's Memphis inspires Cat Power, attracts Townes Van Zandt, and finds James Carr always singing at the dark end of the street. A rent party is when friends come together to hear music, dance, and help a pal through hard times; it's a celebration in the face of looming tragedy, an optimism when the wolf is at the door. Robert Gordon finds mystery in the mundane, inspiration in the bleakness, and revels in the individualism that connects these diverse encounters. Martin’s interview with Robert Gordon was recorded on May 1, 2018.

Memphis: the birthplace of rock ’n’ roll, soul music capital, and home of the blues, this fabled city has played a major role in American music history. In his new book Memphis Rent Party: The Blues, Rock & Soul in Music’s Hometown, celebrated writer and documentary filmmaker Robert Gordon taps into the lesser-known characters of Memphis who have inspired and influenced popular music, from the 1970s into the present. With interwoven stories and profiles, Memphis Rent Party begins where the greatest hits end. Gordon charts his own musical coming-of-age as he befriends blues legend Furry Lewis, Rolling Stones’ accompanist Jim Dickinson, and the high priest of indie rock, Alex Chilton. He mulls the tragedy of Jeff Buckley’s fatal swim, chronicles the power struggle to profit off singer-songwriter Robert Johnson’s legacy after his mysterious early death, and sips homemade whiskey at revolutionary blues guitarist Junior Kimbrough’s churning house parties. Gordon’s march through the city’s famed recording studios and juke joints captures the spirit of Memphis and illuminates its musical legacy that lives on today. As with the rent parties from which the book takes its name—people gathering to hear live music, dance, and chip in to help a friend in hard times—Memphis Rent Party offers moments of celebration in the face of tragedy, optimism when the wolf is at the door. Gordon finds inspiration in life’s bleakness, art in the shadows of society, and revels in the individualism of these music legends.

Talking with Jason Ricci is one of the most popular harmonica players on the planet today. Listed in almost every top ten list of players on the internet today Jason Ricci is a polarizing force always in the spotlight and on the tips of critics, artists and fans tongue's everywhere. Through two-plus decades of endless touring, TV appearances, recordings, and the internet Jason Ricci's style of playing is so revolutionary and influential that there exists an entire younger generation of players imitating his music, clothes, gear, and even stage presence. Nicknamed “Moon Cat” (a street name he once used in Nashville and New Orleans to avoid police detection) Jason has been an almost constant force for decades in the studio, festivals, club dates, and press. Love him or hate him, through performing, singing, songwriting, teaching, harmonica playing and activism in the fields of L.G.B.T., mental health and addiction, it is not an overstatement that this young, white, queer, skateboarding, punk rock-loving, multiple convicted felony having Moon Cat from Maine is currently changing the world through music and education. Jason was a featured performer on Johnny Winter's Grammy award-winning CD ‘Step Back' (2014) Has received multiple Blues Music Award Nominations 2009 – 2016, and won a Blues Music Award in 2010.

Black-Eyed News: The first story up this week is that the Clapton Crossroads show from a few months ago will be coming to a theater near you.On August 13th in theatres across the country there will be a special one night only event broadcasting highlights and backstage footage from this pasts Aprils CrossRoads Guitar Festival. Musicians featured in the cinema event include Allman Brothers Band, Blake Mills, Booker T., Buddy Guy, Derek Trucks, Doyle Bramhall II, Eric Clapton, Gary Clark Jr., Gregg Allman, Jeff Beck, John Mayer, Keith Richards, Keith Urban, Los Lobos, Robert Cray, Sonny Landreth, Vince Gill and Warren Haynes. It will be shown in nearly 500 select theatres around the country, and to see where and to buy tickets head to www.fathomevents.com. We went to the theater event last year and it was awesome you almost feel like you’re there. Blues Blast magazine has had 2 great interviews in the last 2 weeks. The first one was with frontman for the Fabulous Thunderbirds Kim Wilson. It talks about the T-Birds new record and how he has gone from being influenced by the greats to becoming influential on the careers of a new crop of performers and the first time that he met Muddy Waters. It is a great interview. I will leave the link in this week’s write up. http://thebluesblast.com/Archive/BluesBlasts/2013/BluesBlast7_18_13.htm The second interview is with the legendary James Cotton. Though a bout with throat cancer and the ensuing loss of a vocal cord back in the mid-90s has left Cotton unable to do much singing, the Grammy Award winner and Blues Hall of Famer has steadfastly refused to allow that malady stop him from blowing the harp with as much power and gusto as he ever has. “I was a harmonica player before I was a singer. I didn’t really become a singer until I started fronting a band,” he said. “So, that (his health) has kind of made me be able to concentrate on playing the harmonica again. It kind of put me back on track.” Cotton’s health issues have also not put the brakes on his recording career, either. He just requires a little more help in the studio these days. And when you’ve got friends like Gregg Allman, Keb Mo, Warren Haynes, Delbert McClinton, Darrell Nulisch, Joe Bonamassa and Ruthie Foster to call on, well, you’ve got it made. You should read the entire interview and pick up a copy of Cotton Mouth Man on Alligator records. http://thebluesblast.com/Archive/BluesBlasts/2013/BluesBlast8_1_13.htm Lastly; The self-proclaimed ‘Boss of the Blues,’ James Lewis Carter ‘T-Model’ Ford, passed away from respiratory failure July 16 in his Greenville, Mississippi home. Depending on which account you believe, T-Model was somewhere between 89-93 years old (editor’s note: He told Blues Blast in an interview from Feb. 14 of this year that he was 92 years old). T-Model was the very embodiment of the blues and spent a couple of years on a chain gang for murder as a young man. He also claimed to have been married six times and fathered over 20 children. With his unique style of guitar playing – chopping off chords that were very reminiscent of a bell chiming – T-Model paired with R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough to help bring the Fat Possum Records label to national attention with four classic albums for the Oxford, Mississippi-based label. T-Model is survived by his wife Estella and grandson (and drummer) Stud. http://thebluesblast.com/Archive/BluesBlasts/2013/BluesBlast8_1_13.htm BLUES IN THE AREA:8/7 WEDNESDAY CHRISTINE OHLMAN & REBEL MONTEZ - WESTERLY TOWN BEACH (6-8PM) - WESTERLY, RI DAN STEVENS - THE OLD LYME INN (6 PM, WEATHER PERMITTING) - OLD LYME, CT THE CHRIS D'AMATO BAND - THE HARTFORD PUBLIC LIBRARY (NOON-1PM, 500 MAIN ST.) - HARTFORD THE TRAVIS MOODY BAND - BLUES, BERRIES & JAM FARMERS MARKET ON THE GREEN (NOON-1:30PM) - NEW HAVEN, CT BLUES JAM W/BRANDT TAYLOR - BLACK-EYED SALLY'S (8 PM) - HARTFORD 8/8 THURSDAY TOMMY CASTRO - CHAN'S - WOONSOCKET, RI ANA POPOVIC - STEARNS SQUARE (WORTHINGTON ST.) - SPRINGFIELD, MA SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY - BLACK-EYED SALLY'S (8 PM) - HARTFORD ERIN HARPE & THE DELTA SWINGERS - THEODORES' - SPRINGFIELD, MA DAN STEVENS - THE CONNECTICUT RIVER MUSEUM (5:30 PM) - ESSEX, CT BRANDT TAYLOR - THE SPRING HOUSE - BLOCK ISLAND, RI 8/9 FRIDAY TOMMY CASTRO - THE KNICKERBOCKER CAFE (8PM) - WESTERLY, RI JOHNNY RAWLS - CHAN'S (8PM) - WOONSOCKET, RI RICK ESTRIN & THE NIGHTCATS - THE OUTER SPACE (8PM) - HAMDEN, CT DAN STEVENS - THE CAPTAIN DANIEL PACKER INN - MYSTIC, CT THE WALTER LEWIS BLUES TRIO - THE LAKEHOUSE (7PM) - SEYMOUR, CT ERAN TROY DANNER (ACOUSTIC) - THEODORES' (9PM) - SPRINGFIELD, MA BRANDT TAYLOR - THE CANOE CLUB (9PM) - MIDDLETOWN, CT 8/10 SATURDAY STAFFORD SPRINGS BLUES FESTIVAL - HYDE PARK & THE PALACE THEATER - STAFFORD SPRINGS, CT HYDE PARK LINEUP (STARTS AT NOON): JAMES MONTGOMERY EASY BABY JUNIOR KRAUSS & THE SHAKES JOHNNY CHARLES & 706 UNION BAND JOSH SCUSSEL & THE RUDE BLUES BAND 13TH STEP DAN STEVENS Palace Theater lineup (starts 7:15 pm): AJ JANSEN CHRISTINE OHLMAN & REBEL MONTEZ George Thorogood / Buddy Guy - MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods (8pm) - Mashantucket, CT JOHNNY A. & JEFF PITCHELL - BRIDGE STREET LIVE (9PM) - COLLINSVILLE, CT THE RICH BADOWSKI BLUES BAND - SAM THE CLAM'S - SOUTHINGTON, CT RIVER CITY SLIM & THE ZYDECO HOGS - BLACK-EYED SALLY'S (9PM) - HARTFORD KING CAKE - THE LEBANON FAIRGROUNDS (3PM) - LEBANON, CT BRANDT TAYLOR - T.J.

The 402th edition of The Roadhouse lends itself well to high volume. Muddy Waters & The Rolling Stones, Junior Kimbrough, Rick Holmstrom, Eric Bibb, and Alvin Lee make up a big chunk of the show, but there's plenty of great blues in between those artists. Sit back, throw your feet up, crank up the headphones, or the computer, or the receiver. Make it nice and loud for another hour of the finest blues you've never heard.

The 346th Roadhouse is all about music that's got legs. Each and every track in this edition has an arc and a self-propulsion all its own. Lazy Lester, Johnny Winter, Maria Muldaur, Junior Kimbrough, and Joe Bonamassa & Beth Hart represent a really wide swath of the blues highway and will help hold your attention for the full 60 minutes.
