The Reverend Osagyefo Sekou draws from a deep well of American music on his new album, called In Times Like These. Blues and gospel traditions, but specifically also "North Mississippi Hill Country Music, Arkansas Delta Blues, 1960s Rock and Roll, Memphis Soul, Chuck Berry St Louis vibes, and Pentecostal steel guitar." Now if you're thinking that those are musical holdovers from another time, the activist, author, documentary filmmaker and theologian Reverend Sekou wants you to know that that music has become powerful and relevant again, in times like these. The album features Luther and Cody Dickinson of the North Mississippi All-Stars, and Rev Sekou toured with them back in 2017. He and The Sealbreakers play some of the tunes, in-studio.

Musical ghosts haunt the Memphis band Lucero. The late Warren Zevon is evoked in one song, and the spirit of the late Alex Chilton's groundbreaking Memphis group Big Star can be felt throughout the record. (Their 2015 album title, All A Man Should Do, is a line from a Big Star song.) Songwriter Ben Nichols uses a stirring blend of classic rock and Memphis soul, but maintains a distinctive voice. Lucero plays songs from All A Man Should Do, in-studio. (From the Archives, 2015.)

This week we'll hear from one of the architects of Memphis soul. While many of the Stax Records originators are gone, William Bell is still here. And the soulful, horn-driven Stax music and the Memphis sound are still here, too. Now Bell, 81 and an Atlanta resident, is being honored as a creator of the soul that put Memphis in the pantheon of American music. Bell is one of nine artists and craftspeople who have been named as National Heritage Fellows, recipients of the nation's highest honor in the folk and traditional arts. The AJC's Bo Emerson recently spoke with the R&B legend and, on this week's podcast, we'll bring you that conversation.

Patrick Adams is an Artist/Songwriter/Producer whose wide range of music will take you on a journey through several different styles and sounds. Ranging from the smooth R&B/Soul sound of "Thinking Bout You" to the Memphis/Soul sound of "Head 2 The Sky" to the Funk of "Thankful" and the Gospel sound of "My Father My Lord", Patrick Adams, known to many as "P" will take you on a musical journey!

L'émission sera consacrée à cette formation qui depuis quelques années sillonne les routes de France pour prêcher la bonne parole du Blues et de la Memphis Soul. Créé à Nantes par le guitariste et chanteur Arnaud Fradin, Malted Milk célèbre avec un grand respect la richesse de la Great Black Music du sud des Etats-Unis, celle d'Al Green, Syl Johnson, James Brown, Albert King ou B.B.King. La chanteuse Toni Green, originaire de Memphis, ne s'est pas trompé en acceptant de travailler avec Malted Milk. Elle a sans doute entendu chezces jeunes nantais les grooves qui ont accompagné sa jeunesse. Sa voix puissante combinée à leur énergie et leur sens parfait du groove en ont fait l'une des formations funky les plus en vue de l'Hexagone. Et pour convaincre ceux qui ont encore du mal à croire que la France est « one nation under a groove », nous accueillerons Sebastien Levanneur, le bassiste et leader du groupe de Jazz-Funk The Big Hustle qui vient de sortir son album Worlwide. Une formation affiliée à toute une mouvance "frenchy" qui compte déjà les groupes Electro Deluxe à Beat Assaillant. Who said a french band can't play Funk ?!
