Chris Herrrington, Daily Memphian, on Memphis Music & Food w/ Geoff

SUMMARYStax Records legend Deanie Parker talks about writing songs for Otis Redding, Albert King, William Bell, and Carla Thomas, dives deep on what made the Stax environment so special, and shines a light on the recently-released box sets of forgotten Stax songwriter demos. PART ONEScott and Paul discuss the wild story behind the monumental box set Written in Their Soul: The Stax Songwriter Demos.PART TWOOur in-depth interview with Deanie ParkerABOUT DEANIE PARKERWhile still in high school, Deanie Parker won a Memphis talent contest and an audition for Jim Stewart at Stax Records. He signed her and released her debut single, on the Volt label, in 1963. The self-penned “My Imaginary Guy” became a regional hit, but the life of a touring artist was not for Parker. She became the first Black employee at Stax's Satellite Record Shop before joining the label staff as the company's first publicist in 1964. Learning on the job while studying journalism at Memphis State, Parker eventually became the company's Vice President of Public Affairs. One of the first female publicists in the music industry, she worked closely with Isaac Hayes, Booker T & the MG's, Rufus and Carla Thomas, Johnnie Taylor, Albert King, and others. Wearing many hats at Stax, Deanie continued to write songs with colleagues such as Steve Cropper, Booker T. Jones, Eddie Floyd, Bettye Crutcher, Mack Rice, Mable John, and Homer Banks, with whom she penned the soul classic “Ain't That a Lot of Love.” The list of Stax artists who recorded her songs includes Otis Redding, Carla Thomas, William Bell, Sam & Dave, The Staple Singers, and more. Her other writing skills were put to use penning liner notes for classic albums such as Sam & Dave's Hold On, I'm Comin', Albert King's Born Under a Bad Sign, Otis Redding's Live in Europe, and Shirley Brown's Woman to Woman. From 1987 through 1995, Deanie served as the Assistant Director of the Memphis in May International Festival. A tireless champion of the Stax legacy, she became the first President and CEO of Soulsville, the nonprofit organization established to build and manage the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, Stax Music Academy, and the Soulsville Charter School. She was appointed to the Tennessee Arts Commission in 2004 and, in 2009, was awarded two Emmy awards for the I Am a Man documentary short, for which she was an executive producer and the title song composer. The list of artists outside the Stax family who've covered Deanie Parker's songs includes The Rolling Stones, Elvis Costello, Darlene Love, Taj Mahal, Three Dog Night, The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Band, New York Dolls, Simply Red, Hall & Oates, and many others. She is a co-producer and co-liner notes writer of the seven-CD collection Written in Their Soul: The Stax Songwriter Demos, and was recently announced as a 2023 inductee into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame.

Growing up in South Memphis at College and McClemore, James Alexander was a music legend in the making. Just a stone's throw away from Stax Records, James played football and was a part of a band while attending Booker T. Washington High School. Immediately after graduating high school, he was on a plane with his bandmates headed to New York City to play his very first gig at the Apollo Theatre with Otis Redding. James gives us quite a few stories entering the music business with the Bar-Kays at such a young age including comradery amongst musicians and even racism during those early years. He even shares that tragic moment when he flew commercial for a gig while his entire band in addition to Otis Redding were killed on a private plane. As a result, based on a foreshadowing conversation he had with his band mates, he was able to carry the legacy of the Bar-Kays months later. Take a listen as James discusses his influence and relationship with his son Jazze Pha, whom he named after his best friend and late Bar-Kays bandmate Phalon Jones. James continues as the only original member of the Bar-Kays fostering relationships and collaborations with other Memphis artists such as Juicy J, Young Dolph and so many more.

Host Grace Askew chats with the prolific, eccentric artist Muck Sticky on all things being a working artist. His story of finding strength in being an independent artist, staying true to his path - no  matter how high his level of success  - will truly inspire you.Born and raised in Memphis, TN, Muck Sticky comes from a long line of musicians. His great-grandparents founded one of the first gospel bluegrass quartets in 1929 known as The Wayfaring Strangers, and both of his grandfathers were well known musicians. One was Gene Lowery of The Dixie Four who often recorded at Sun Studios in Memphis, and sang backing vocals for artists like Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Charlie Rich.Between the ages of 16-23, Sticky was employed in many different fields including carpentry, restaurant service, bricklaying, water park lifeguard, and ice cream truck driver. In the year 2000, with the money he earned from his manual laborer job at a local convention service company, he bought an 8-track recorder and began creating his first album. In January 2001, he gave his first live performance at a “Battle of the Bands” concert in his hometown Memphis, TN. Since Sticky recorded all of his music alone, he decided to attach wigs, hats, sunglasses, and instruments to 6-foot tall floor lamps and call them his “band”. To this day he frequently brings them on stage during his shows, but the show has grown to include his mother, sister, best friends, and his fans.Sticky was featured on the MTV series $5 Cover, which centers around the careers of singers from the Memphis, TN area. The show is produced by Craig Brewer, director and writer of the 2005 movie, Hustle & Flow.[1]He has released a feature film entitled Muscadine Wine.A review described Sticky as an artist who "comes across as a backwoods midpoint between Beck and Mungo Jerry...somewhere between Slim Shady and Weird Al."[2]Watch his 2nd feature film, "Dig That, Zeebo Newton," here.Curated Spotify playlist for Muck Sticky can be listened to here. Muck Sticky on  Instagram.Grace Askew on Instagram.Support the showOutside of these inspiring interviews, Grace offers further artistic growth opportunities through semi-annual songwriting retreats held in Memphis, TN and 1:1 Zoom coaching!

Pat Mitchell-Worley, the executive director of Stax Music Academy and host of Beale Street Caravan, joins Eric Barnes on The Sidebar.

Today’s podcast is my conversation with a Memphis Music icon, John Fry of Ardent Studios. From my 2014 interview with John, who was involved with Memphis music for decades. John talks about Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Big Star and their contribution to Memphis music. We also talk about when Ardent broadcast live shows over FM100, and two of John’s favorite subjects, the Big Star Movie and digital versus analog sound.

It's Monday, so here is my new podcast. This is my conversation with "Memphis Boy" piano player Bobby Wood. Bobby talks about the first time he met Elvis and it wasn't while recording with him at American Studios. He also talks about his current gig in the Garth Brooks recording band. Great interview, check it out.

Memphis, Tennessee, native Booker T. Jones started playing the piano as a toddler, and began singing in his church choir as a six year-old. With the release of “Green Onions” in 1962, Booker T. & the M.G.’s organ-infused Memphis soul sound became a number-one hit on Billboard’s R&B chart. Correspondent Tom Wilmer visits with Jones at the North Carolina Folk Festival, where he recalls growing up in Memphis, playing as a studio musician at Stax Recording Studio while still in high school, and the story behind “M.G.” in the band’s name. This show was originally broadcast October 11, 2019 and is reposted as a “best-of-the-best” podcast in celebration of Journeys of Discovery’s 30th anniversary producing on-air and digital media podcasts featured on KCBX and NPR One. Jones is a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum. His autobiographical book “The Time is Tight—My life Note By Note” was released in November 2019.

“. . . to the people who make a living playing music, it was shocking in a way that was different than for you and me. They were trying to figure out how to pay rent. If you wake up every day and you say, ‘I'm a musician and I play live music every day,' and then someone says, ‘that actually doesn't exist anymore, that's not even a thing' . . . that does something not only to your paycheck, but also to your sense of identity.” That's Jayne Ellen White, Music Specialist for Memphis Tourism's Music Hub, talking to host Mark Fleischer about how the pandemic shutdown had an immediate effect on the livelihoods and psyches of local musicians. Jayne also talks about her career promoting Memphis music and her experiences at Tourism, Stax Records, and Sun Studios. This is a listen that will appeal to both musicians and fans of Memphis music. Join us.

My guest on this episode is Tim Riley, Tim is what’s called a promotion man. Record promotion is the division of a record company that places songs on the radio. They build relationships with program directors and music directors at radio stations and try to get them to play their records. They may also contract a third party, known as an independent promotion man or woman, whose responsibility is to take their artist's new song and get it on the radio by any means necessary. Tim is an independent promotion man who has many stories about his promotions to draw attention to the records he was working and some he just liked.

Jimmy Tarbutton got his start in Memphis music by playing in a few garage bands including the Jimmy Hart led Gentrys. He and two others quit the Gentrys to form one of the best Memphis bands of the seventies, Edgewood. He worked at Jerry Williams’ TMI studios for a while before moving to Nashville seeking work as an engineer and producer.Jimmy has worked with José Feliciano, JJ Cale, and the Oak Ridge Boys to name but a few. He shared a lot of great stories in this interview and I enjoyed talking with him after all these years. I hope you enjoy this episode.

This episode's guest is a Memphis Music Icon, John Fry the owner of Ardent Studios. I believe this is John’s last interview before his untimely death on December 18, 2014. John Fry had been involved with Memphis music for years. His Ardent studios survived when others like Sun and Stax have fallen. John talks about Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Big Star and their contribution to Memphis music. Here’s the interview from September of 2013. I started by talking about the first broadcast from Ardent over FM100, the year was 1970 or 71 and the artist was Wishbone Ash.

Back in the seventies, nobody was bigger in the emerging new Memphis sound than David Beaver. With Memphis bands like Cargoe, Big Star, and Zuider Zee dominating the Memphis music scene, David Beaver was also a standout. First in the Gentrys then Edgewood and finally with D Beaver and Combinations. The latter two recorded at Jerry Williams’ TMI studios. The Combinations album was some pretty heavy stuff and Memphis loved it. I talked to David Beaver about all of it.

Andy Black has been involved in the Memphis music scene since he was in high school. He played bass and sang with the Strayfers. I know, because I was there. We met at Frayser High School and we have been friends ever since. He was at Shoe Productions for years helping create little ditties like "The Dog Police", "Disco Duck" and "Memphis I'm Coming Home To You." I talked to Andy about his time at Shoe Studio and the documentary about the importance of Shoe to the history of Memphis music. We also talked about working with Pat and Susanne Taylor for the first time they ever worked together on "Memphis I'm Coming Home to You" and that's not the Breaks. There is also more to the story of that song and Andy explains what the song is all about. He also talks about his new project with David Beaver.

'“Over the years, we've taken artists who may know each other, may have played with each other 20-30 years ago, and it's sort of a reunion. I remember being backstage last year when Dave Bromberg and Tom Chapin – at one point they were both in the New York music scene – and they were saying ‘ya remember when we played the Village Gate?' Or to see Richie Havens hugging Odetta … just so many stories. We try to do it in the form of a song-swap; put them all up on stage together and they go round robin and do two songs each, and at the end of the show they usually do one big ‘Goodnight Irene' thing or ‘This Land Is Your Land.' It's just great.” That's Bruce Newman, Memphis tax and entertainment lawyer extraordinaire, talking about 25 years of the annual benefit concerts known as Acoustic Sunday Live. For the second year in a row, 2019's concert will benefit Protect Our Aquifer, the nonprofit group started by Ward Archer dedicated to public oversight of our precious Memphis water.

Native Memphian, Lawrence "Boo" Mitchell, was surrounded by music growing up in South Memphis. Boo is the son of legendary Hi Records and Al Green producer, Willie Mitchell. After graduating from Christian Brothers High School, he formed a rap group called the M-Team in 1988. Years later he worked as manager and talent coordinator for his family's club, "Willie Mitchell's Rhythm and Blues Club" located on Memphis's historic Beale street. As you can imagine, countless celebrities frequented the club during this time and Boo shares quite a few stories from this era in his life. We also discuss the dynamic of Memphis Music and how many artists are seeking that "vintage recording sound" from Royal Studios. Being a Grammy Award winning - engineer, producer, and composer, Boo walks me through the night he picked up the Grammy for "Record of the Year" for his work on the Mark Ronson/Bruno Mars hit "Uptown Funk." We also talk about the upcoming Mempho Music Festival which kicks off October 19th at Shelby Farms.

In this episode, Robert tells Nate some of his favorite stories about the undersung musical legends of his home town of Memphis, including chewing tobacco with rockabilly legend Charlie Feathers, soul legend James Carr’s tragic tale of mental transubstantiation, the singer more frightening than Jerry Lee Lewis, the Lead Belly album that changed his life, and Jeff Buckley’s final days.

Memphis singer/songwriters are very special people. It doesn't get much better than this local favorite Tony Manard. You can usually find him with his Big Ole Band.

He's a fantastic performer, music historian and storyteller you will not soon forget. When you come to Memphis, seek out Eric Hughes.

Howard Grimes has been on this show several times. This time, he brought a couple of friends with him. Spencer & Percy Wiggins. This is a rather important show in that these three men have quite the story to tell when it comes to how the Memphis sound came to be and what it was like for young African-American performers on the road and in the studio. Along the way, these men were involved in some of the most iconic music in history. Plus, you'll hear some new gospel music that accurately defines that Memphis sound. NEXT WEEK: Harold Beane, the most sampled guitar player in history.

On this week's show, Chris Herrington and Jennifer Biggs discuss the food options in and around Crosstown Concourse. Bob Mehr and John Beifuss join Chris to talk about the 2017 class of the Memphis Music Hall of Fame, the BBC's new list of the 100 Best Movie Comedies, and what's happening in Memphis this weekend.
