This week, it's a very special episode of Time Signatures as your host, Jim Ervin welcomes another legendary bluesman, Steve Nardella. Join Steve and Erv as they discuss his relocation to Michigan from the east coast in 1971-just to be closer to Chicago, the early Blues hangouts in Ann Arbor (Blind Pig, Mr. Flood's Party, Rick's American Cafe, etc), and his appearance in a supporting role at the 1972 Ann Arbor Blues Festival for Boogie Woogie Red, Lightnin Slim, and Johnny Shines-a recording he didn't know anything about. Steve also talked about his 1964 or ‘65 New York trip where he saw Muddy Waters, Otis Spann, and James Cotton. Great stories about jammin' with Stevie Ray Vaughan, and definitely an episode well worth your time.Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2CfHxv1Ha614CY85E8x017 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/steve.nardella.5 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rare3P56NWo&list=PL2C46EF8DE7B9D84D _________________________Facebook: Time SignaturesYouTube: Time SignaturesFacebook: Capital Area Blues SocietyWebsite: Capital Area Blues SocietyFriends of Time Signatures _______Website: University of Mississippi Libraries Blues ArchiveWebsite: Killer Blues Headstone ProjectWebsite: Blues Society Radio NetworkWebsite: Keeping the Blues Alive Foundation

Country, gospel, and rhythm and blues are the major arteries that flow to the heart of Americana musical traditions, each influencing the other through shared themes of storytelling, emotion, and spirituality. Gospel's uplifting harmonies and spiritual fervor inspired both the heartfelt narratives of country music and the soulful expressions of rhythm and blues. Similarly, rhythm and blues infused gospel energy into secular music, while country music borrowed melodic and vocal elements from both genres. The "golden age" of these genres is often considered to be the mid-20th century, roughly the 1940s through the 1960s, when their innovation and cross-pollination laid the groundwork for modern popular music, including rock and roll. This week on Deeper Roots we're going to flip through some classic old records (as we love to do) and highlight the morning with performances from the likes of Otis Spann, Merle Travis, Sue Foley, Sturgill Simpson, and a few dozen others.

The latest episode of Blues is the Truth is here, and normal service resumes with two hours of phenomenal blues that will keep your soul singing and your feet tapping. Hosted by the ever-passionate and knowledgeable Ian McHugh, this week's show is packed with incredible music, the usual fan-favorite features, and a lineup of artists that truly defines the spirit of the blues. This episode shines a spotlight on the brilliant Tomislav Goluban and the powerhouse sounds of Crooked Eye Tommy, both delivering unforgettable performances that will leave you hitting replay. Alongside them, you'll hear classics and contemporary gems from legends like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Muddy Waters, and Buddy Guy, and the deep grooves of Little Walter, Peter Green, and Otis Spann. Etta James brings her unparalleled vocal power, while Mud Morganfield, Tim Aves and Wolfpack, and the soulful Colin James remind us why blues endures. The raw energy of Tail Dragger, Cesar Crespo and the Pinball's Blues Party, and Wailin' Walker will keep you on the edge of your seat, while Bob Margolin and Bob Coritore showcase their collaborative genius. With contributions from Zoe Schwarz Blue Commotion, Larry Griffith, Jeff Pitchell, Kai Strauss, and even blues royalty BB King and Lowell Fulson, this week's lineup spans decades of brilliance. And, of course, there's a special place for Eric Clapton, whose timeless artistry remains an inspiration. Make sure you don't miss this blues-packed episode!

Jerry Portnoy, Steve Guyger and Louis Erlanger join me on episode 123, for a retrospective on Paul Oscher.Paul was born in Brooklyn in 1947 and has a place in history as the first white player in a major black blues band, with Muddy Waters. Joining Muddy's band gave Paul the best grounding in Chicago blues, he lived in Muddy's house where he also learnt from the great Otis Spann. After leaving Muddy's band Paul moved to New York and became a pivotal figure in the blues scene there. Paul put out a number of albums under his own name, with the first being Rough Stuff in 1993, up to Cool Cat in 2018. These included solo and band albums, showcasing his wide range of talents on the harmonica, and also the guitar, piano and vocals.Links:Website:https://www.pauloscher.com/Interview with Paul, by Margie Goldsmith:https://www.modernbluesharmonica.com/paul-oscher-interview.htmlLouis Erlanger Blues Blast Magazine interview:https://www.bluesblastmagazine.com/featured-interview-louis-x-erlanger/Videos:Paul Oscher documentary by Jordan Haro:https://vimeo.com/208402633Story of Jimmy Johnson and harmonica trick:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFFPMYhLTt0Paul playing piano:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSbAahV30DoPlaying Juke on a rack:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3WJgDEN4aAPodcast website:https://www.harmonicahappyhour.comDonations:If you want to make a voluntary donation to help support the running costs of the podcast then please use this link (or visit the podcast website link above):https://paypal.me/harmonicahappyhour?locale.x=en_GBSpotify Playlist: Also check out the Spotify Playlist, which contains most of the songs discussed in the podcast:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5QC6RF2VTfs4iPuasJBqwT?si=M-j3IkiISeefhR7ybm9qIQPodcast sponsors:This podcast is sponsored by SEYDEL harmonicas - visit the oldest harmonica factory in the world at www.seydel1847.com  or on Facebook or Instagram at SEYDEL HARMONICAS--------------------------------Blue Moon Harmonicas: https://bluemoonharmonicas.comSupport the show

He discusses the song "Loser" by Jerry Garcia, noting its Americana themes and its history with the Grateful Dead. He praises Garcia's performance at the 1984 show and the song's growling vocals and guitar work.Larry also talks about the song "Day Job," highlighting its unique history with the Grateful Dead as a song fans petitioned to be dropped from their setlists. He reflects on why the song wasn't popular among fans, comparing it to another song, "Liberty," which he personally didn't favor. Despite this, he appreciates the version performed at the Ventura show for its energy and Jerry's engagement.In the music world segment, the he provides updates on Phish's summer tour, sharing setlists from recent shows in Mansfield, Massachusetts. He expresses excitement about attending multiple shows and describes how his appreciation for Phish has grown, comparing it to his experience with the Grateful Dead.

MY TIME?Let me know. Thank you______________________________________Fake Intro for my nephew, Ben Mishkin's 11th birthday, I will just introduce it as “my podcast”, play the clip and wish him a happy birthday, then we cut back to our normal intro tune and I do a regular introduction.  What do you think? Bennie and the Jets - Elton John - Live in London 1974 HD (youtube.com)0:08 – 1:18 "Bennie and the Jets" (also titled "Benny & the Jets") is a song written by English musician Elton John and songwriter Bernie Taupin, and performed by John.[3] The song first appeared on the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album in 1973. "Bennie and the Jets" has been one of John's most popular songs and was performed during his appearance at Live Aid.The track was a massive hit in the United States and Canada, released in 1974 as an A-side using the spelling "Bennie". In most territories the track was released as the B-side to "Candle in the Wind", using the spelling "Benny". Album artwork (back-cover track listing and center-panel design) consistently lists the song as "Bennie" while either "Bennie" or "Benny" appears on the vinyl album depending on territory. The track was released as an A-side in the UK in 1976, as "Benny and the Jets".It is ranked number 371 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.Happy Birthday to my nephew Ben who turns 11 today while at summer camp in the Poconos.  Great time to be alive.  There with his big sister Lily and lots of good friends while his younger brother Nate has the run of the house!  Have a great day big guy. And now, back to our regularly scheduled show: Normal house intro music   Great show today from one of the Deadhead's favorite venues, Ventura County Fairgrounds.  Basically on the car racing track and demo derby.  View is of the beach and ocean.  Shows start in the afternoon, 2 or 3, so no real light show except mother nature and if you are lucky, a beautiful sunset just as the show ends or shortly thereafter.  Location of my first show ever and the only time I saw the boys there. This show is two summers later and finds the Boys cranking along in 1984, a big year for me in terms of shows that included a big chunk of Spring tour, Red Rocks, my first summer tour experience, first Alpine, and first New Years shows. Still found time to graduate from Michigan and start law school. INTRO:                                 Loser                                                Track #4                                                2:40 – 4:20 The song seems covered in the Americana dust of so many songs from this period of Hunter's and Garcia's songwriting partnership. Abilene, whether in Texas or Kansas, is a dusty cowtown—at the time in which the song seems to be set, the cattle outnumbered the human inhabitants by a factor of tens. It's easy to see the scene Hunter so casually sets, of a broken-down gambler in a saloon, with a dirt street outside full of armed cowpokes.Appearing, as it does, on Garcia (Jan, 1972), the song seems to pair naturally with the other gambling song on the album, “Deal.” It could be sung by the same character on a different day, in fact. And it fits in, as I mentioned, with a whole suite of songs that might be set in the same generic America of the late 19th or early 20th centuries: “Brown-Eyed Women,” “Jack Straw,” “Mister Charlie,” “Tennessee Jed,” “Cumberland Blues,” “Candyman,” and others, as well as certain selected covers, such as “Me and My Uncle,” and “El Paso.”The crowning glory of the song, as in many other Garcia/Hunter compositions, is the bridge.The song culminates in this cry of hopefulness: “Last fair deal in the country, Sweet Susie, last fair deal in the town. Put your gold money where your love is, baby, before you let my deal go down—go down.”(It's noted that “Sweet Susie” was dropped at some point, but then, occasionally, brought back. I think it was an optional decoration to the line. Alex Allan, in his Grateful Dead Lyric and Song Finder site, notes that “Sweet Susie” rarely appears after 1972, but that it's sung in performances in 1974 and 1979.)The version at this show is one of the best I've ever heard.  Garcia's voice is growling, his guitar playing spot on, energy bursting out of him.  1984 was a great year for the Dead and this show, and this tune, really epitomize all of it.  Almost always a first set tune, usually first part of the set, traded off with Candyman, Must Have Been The Roses, and other first set Jerry ballads.Played: 353 timesFirst:   February 18, 1971 at Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY, USALast:   June 28, 1995 at the Palace at Auburn Hills, MI (Detroit)  SHOW No. 1:                    Day Job                                                Track #8                                                1:00 – 2:39 Garcia/Hunter “new tune” Never released on any studio recording, appears on Dick's Picks #6, Hartford Civic Center Oct. 14, 1983 in case you've never heard it.  It's claim to fame, per Robert Hunter himself, is that “this song was dropped from the Grateful Dead repertoire at the request of the fans.  Seriously.” I heard it a few times.  Not my favorite, but good when Jerry was sharp and rocking like this version. Really one of the best. Played:  133First:  August 28, 1982 at Oregon Country Fair Site, Veneta, OR, USALast:  April 4, 1986 at Hartford Civic Center, Hartford, CT, USA  SHOW No. 2:                    I Just Want To Make Love To You                                                Track #11                                                1:27 – 3:10 "I Just Want to Make Love to You" is a blues song written by Willie Dixon. In 1954, it was recorded by Muddy Waters,[2] and released as a single with the title "Just Make Love to Me". The song reached number four on Billboard magazine's R&B Best Sellers chart.[3]Backing Waters on vocals are Little Walter on harmonica, Jimmy Rogers on guitar, Otis Spann on piano, Willie Dixon on bass, and Fred Below on drums.[1] Waters recorded the song again for the album Electric Mud (1968).The Rolling Stones covered the song on their 1964 debut album The Rolling Stones. In 1972, British blues rock group Foghat recorded a studio version for their self-titled debut album in 1972. The song was also released as a single and it became their first single to reach the charts, appearing at No. 83 on the Billboard Hot 100[9] and No. 31 in Australia.[10] An eight-minute version from a 1977 concert performance is included on Foghat Live. It was edited down to 3:56 release as a single, which reached number 33 on the Billboard Hot 100[9] and No. 28 on the RPM Top Singles chart in Canada.  I heard this on Foghat Live and thought it was a Foghat song.  Could not believe when I heard the Dead had played it! Dead played it 4 times:  Pig in ‘66                                                Brent in ‘84                                                Jerry in ‘95 Times:  4First:  November 29, 1966 at The Matrix, San Francisco, CA, USALast: February 21, 1995 at Delta Center, Salt Lake City, UT, USA  SHOW No. 3:                    Drums                                                Track #14                                                7;00 – end                                                 INTO                                                 Space                                                Track #15                                                0:00 - :36                                                 SHOW No. 4:                    Space                                                Track #15                                                10:59 – end                                                 INTO                                                 Morning Dew                                                Track #16                                                0:00 – 1:28   Birthdays:                 Benny                John Gross                OUTRO:                               Midnight Hour                                                Track #19                                                1:42 – 3:27 .Produced by PodConx Deadhead Cannabis Show - https://podconx.com/podcasts/deadhead-cannabis-showLarry Mishkin - https://podconx.com/guests/larry-mishkinRob Hunt - https://podconx.com/guests/rob-huntJay Blakesberg - https://podconx.com/guests/jay-blakesbergSound Designed by Jamie Humiston - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-humiston-91718b1b3/Recorded on Squadcast

The Super Super Blues Band fue el proyecto de Chess Records que juntó a Muddy Waters con Howlin' Wolf y Bo DiddleyEn Chess Record había grandes músicos y grandes egos. El sello de Chicago había marcado tendencia en los años 40 electrificando el blues rural del sur de los Estados Unidos de la mano de los grandes intérpretes del género.Veinte años después de los días de oro de Chess el panorama era otro. El esplendor del blues, si algún día fue tal, había pasado y los grandes maestros sobrevivían como podían. Sin embargo, al final de los años sesenta estalló el revival del blues rock de la mano de músicos y bandas como Jimi Hendrix, The Doors o Janis Joplin. A esa ola se intentaron subir las viejas estrellas de Chess que en los siguientes años grabarían discos acompañados por sus alumnos más aventajados. Antes de eso, Chess probó otro invento. Copiando el modelo de Fania Records, el sello de Chicago intentó juntar a todas sus estrellas en un mismo disco. Pero hubo un problema: todos eso músicos se llevaban mal y competían entre ellos.En 1967 llegó el primer intento y en 1968 subieron la apuesta juntando a Howlin' Wolf con Muddy Waters y Bo Diddley. Mucho gallo en un gallinero que rellenaron con jóvenes y futuras estrellas como Otis Spann o Buddy Guy. El experimento no tuvo el éxito esperado. Quizá por el título del disco -The Super Super Blues Band-, puede que por su fea portada o incluso porque la suma de talentos no siempre ofrezca un mejor resultado.A pesar de ello el álbum de estos gigantes es una obra poderosa. Producido por el eterno Willie Dixon, autor también de varios de los éxitos de los protagonistas, el disco es el testimonio de una reunión histórica de enemigos íntimos y leyendas del género que bien merece una escucha. Para recorrer esta joya del blues hemos invitado al periodista Ricardo de Querol y a Lucía Taboada.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Ben LevinAt only 22 years old, Ben Levin is already making his mark as a blues pianist, vocalist, and songwriter. Ben has been nominated for a Blues Music Award and two Blues Blast Magazine Awards. Based in Cincinnati, OH, Ben has been playing 100 shows a year since he was 15 years old, embracing the authentic sound of his heroes such as Professor Longhair, Pinetop Perkins, Otis Spann, and Ray Charles. According to Bill Wilson from Reflections in Blue, “Ben Levin is GOOD…Learning at the feet of established masters and from the greatest recordings of all time; he has a deep love for the instrument and for the music.”

#jamescotton #harmonicablues #markhummel The James Cotton Band sits down and talks with Mark about playing with Mark's longtime friend and harmonic legend James Cotton. James Henry Cotton (July 1, 1935 – March 16, 2017) was an American blues harmonica player, singer and songwriter, who performed and recorded with many of the other great blues artists of his time and with his own band. He played drums early in his career but is famous for his harmonica playing. Cotton began his professional career playing the blues harp in Howlin' Wolf's band in the early 1950s. He made his first recordings in Memphis for Sun Records, under the direction of Sam Phillips. In 1955, he was recruited by Muddy Waters to come to Chicago and join his band. Cotton became Waters's bandleader and stayed with the group until 1965. In 1965 he formed the Jimmy Cotton Blues Quartet, with Otis Spann on piano, to record between gigs with the Muddy Waters band. He eventually left to form his own full-time touring group. His first full album, on Verve Records, was produced by the guitarist Mike Bloomfield and the singer and songwriter Nick Gravenites, who later were members of the band Electric Flag. In the 1970s, Cotton played harmonica on Muddy Waters' Grammy Award–winning 1977 album Hard Again, produced by Johnny Winter.

Show 239 - Diving deep into the band that Muddy Waters formed in 1946 not long after he arrived in Chicago. Leonard and Phil Chess started out with a label called Aristocrat.

So today the music of Jimmy Rogers, Otis Spann, Little Walter, Junior Wells, Bob Margolin, Buddy Guy, James Cotton and bass player Willie Dixon.

El sello Candid Records comenzó su actividad en el año 1960. Surgió como un sello subsidiario de Cadence Records, que encargó al crítico musical Nat Hentoff la dirección del nuevo sello. A lo largo de dos años (cesó su actividad a finales del año 1961), publicó más de treinta obras de jazz y blues en las que tuvo el gran acierto de de mirar hacia algunas de las figuras del jazz más creativo de ese momento, como en mirar a su vez a algunos clásicos incontestables. Un acierto artístico, que no se vio acompañado por el acierto en lo económico. Tanto Candid como Cadence Records tuvieron que cesar su actividad. Desde entonces el catálogo ha estado activo y disponible de un modo más o menos intermitente, de tal modo que obras maestras como Freedom Now Suite o Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus, han estado disponibles para los aficionados. En los últimos años Exceleration Music ha reactivado el sello. A distintas novedades discográficas nominadas y ganadoras de premios Grammy, se une en 2022 el proyecto de la reedición remasterizada en distintos formatos (LP, CD, digital), de algunos de los títulos clásicos de su catálogo clásico. En abril de 2022 ha reeditado Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus (coincidiendo con el centenario del genial contrabajista), We Insist! Freedom Now Suite (Max Roach), Straight Ahead (Abbey Lincoln), y dos joyas de blues como son Lightnin' In New York (Lightnin' Hopkins) y Otis Spann Is The Blues. En HDO 545 repasamos la historia de esa parte inicial del sello (años 1960-61), y escuchamos temas de las cinco reediciones mencionadas. Tomajazz: © Pachi Tapiz, 2022 ¿Sabías que?

Today's show features music performed by Otis Spann

Five decades after David Bowie's seminal tour, we reflect on the concerts that have left a mark.Billie HolidayCafé Society, New York City, early 1939The 23-year-old Billie Holiday was mostly unknown outside the jazz loop when she began her 1939 residency at this liberal New York club. Her understated, delicately implacable debut of Strange Fruit, a terrifying depiction of lynchings in the south, made a unique new vocal sound famous worldwide. The birth of bebopMinton's Playhouse, New York City, 1941Rising young originals such as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and the guitarist Charlie Christian lived off commercial swing gigs in 1941, but they forged the revolutionary modern jazz style called bebop in tumultuous after-hours Harlem jam sessions, where Thelonious Monk and the drums innovator Kenny Clarke were in the house band. Buddy Holly and the CricketsUK tour, March 1958Britain had never seen a rock band before March 1958. Then, for 25 consecutive nights, came the first true rock band – guitar, bass and drums, a revolution in horn-rimmed specs. A schoolboy Keith Richards caught a London show, but many more future stars would see Buddy Holly on TV during his visit, when he appeared on Sunday Night at the London Palladium. Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Muddy WatersWhalley Range, Manchester, 7 May 1964It was the brilliant idea of the Granada TV producer Johnnie Hamp to film a selection of blues greats in south Manchester's derelict Wilbraham Road railway station, mocked up to looked like the deep south, with “wanted” posters, washtubs and even goats and chickens. About 200 people arrived by rail to see the Gospel and Blues Train: Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, Cousin Joe, Otis Spann and the duo Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee giving intense performances on the platform. Waters was mobbed by blues-mad youngsters. Tharpe arrived in a pony and trap and seized the opportunity presented by a Mancunian downpour to strap on an electric guitar and launch spontaneously into Didn't It Rain? Countless musicians, including Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, subsequently told Hamp they were influenced by the show, which broadcast to millions and was instrumental in taking the blues explosion to the mainstream. Bob DylanNewport folk festival, Rhode Island, 25 July 1965 It was a Sunburst Fender Stratocaster that stole the show at Newport in 1965. Dylan's decision to play an electric guitar on a largely acoustic bill stunned the crowd, with many booing and jeering. Audiences for his world tour were similarly polarised, one disgruntled heckler in Manchester yelling: “Judas!” at the former folk hero. Essentially, it was the birth of folk rock – the real-time expansion of a genre. Frankie Valli and the Four SeasonsFranklin & Marshall College, Pennsylvania, 1966A show in a college gym was the breakthrough that made arena rock possible. The PA system supplied by the Clair brothers so impressed Valli that he took them on tour as his personal sound engineers. Other artists noticed the quality and soon they were in demand. Their sound systems spurred rock's spread to the big halls. The Velvet UndergroundThe Dom, New York City, 7 April 1966A former Polish wedding hall hosted the birth of the Exploding Plastic Inevitable. Andy Warhol showed films and worked the lights, his “superstars” danced and the Velvet Underground played at a volume witnesses tended to describe in terms of violence: rock music as envelopment and sensory assault. The BeatlesCandlestick Park, San Francisco, 29 August 1966The Beatles' final real gig wasn't a great show. The stadium was half-empty, the band at the end of their tether, struggling to recreate the sound of their latest recordings. But it represented a shift in rock music: no more Beatles gigs meant more time in the studio – and albums that would change everything, again. The 14 Hour Technicolor DreamAlexandra Palace, London, 29 April 1967British counterculture's coming-out ball. Every one of the country's psychedelic luminaries played – Pink Floyd, Soft Machine, Tomorrow and the Pretty Things among them. Performance art was provided by Yoko Ono, while the sense that the audience was as much part of the spectacle as the artists presaged 80s rave culture. Big Brother and the Holding CompanyJanis Joplin as part of Big Brother and the Holding CompanyJanis Joplin at Monterey as part of Big Brother and the Holding Company. Monterey pop festival, California, 17 June 1967Arriving at Monterey with a lesser-known San Francisco psychedelic bluesy rock band, 24-year-old Janis Joplin gleefully demolished every stereotype of the “demure” female singer. The hard-living, hard-rocking Texan's raucous, gut-wrenching performance attracted international attention and has been described as one of the greatest ever. Terry RileyPhiladelphia College of Art, 17 November 1967Not the birth of minimalism, but certainly its breakthrough. Riley's eight-hour set of tape manipulation and organ pulses, played to an audience seated on hammocks and cushions, generated an early recording of his classic Poppy Nogood and set the pace for electronic experimentalism in chill-out environments decades ahead. James Brown‘Are we together or we ain't?' James Brown calms stage invaders on 5 April 1968.Boston Garden, 5 April 1968The night after the assassination of Martin Luther King, violent protests spread across many US cities. In Boston, Brown's show was almost cancelled for fear it might become a hotspot for public outcry. Instead, the show was repurposed: broadcast live on TV and radio in an effort to ease the grief and tension. Fans climbed on stage as he sang I Can't Stand Myself (When You Touch Me); police officers rallied. Brown paused the song. “I'll be fine,” he told the officers, then turned to the stage invaders: “You're not being fair to yourselves and me, or your race. Now, I asked the police to step back, because I think I can get some respect from my own people … Are we together or we ain't?” The crowd cheered. The fans climbed down. Brown turned to the drummer: “Hit that thing, man.” Mahalia Jackson and Mavis StaplesHarlem cultural festival, New York City, 13 July 1969Effectively buried until the 2021 documentary Summer of Soul resurrected its memory, the 1969 Harlem cultural festival was possibly the greatest selection of black talent ever assembled, from Sly Stone and Stevie Wonder to Nina Simone. If you had to pick a highlight, Mahalia Jackson and Mavis Staples' charged performance of Take My Hand, Precious Lord might be it. Jimi HendrixJimi Hendrix at WoodstockWoodstock festival, New York, 18 August 1969Often cited as the gig that defined the 60s, the countercultural festival attracted half a million people to upstate New York. Hendrix's deconstruction of The Star-Spangled Banner was interpreted as a protest at the Vietnam war, while “three days of peace and love” showed that people power could change history. The WhoThe University of Leeds, 14 February 1970A Leeds Civic Trust blue plaque outside the university's refectory now honours the site of the incendiary live performance of the post-Tommy, Keith Moon-era Who captured on Live at Leeds, often cited as the greatest live rock album. Elton JohnThe Troubadour, Los Angeles, 25 August 1970Not quite overnight success, but close: Elton John walked on to the stage of a celebrity-packed Troubadour a largely unknown British singer-songwriter, and walked off it a star. Aside from the music, a backstage decision to wear an outrageous outfit and a burst of energetic showmanship midway through the gig helped: two lessons he has never forgotten. BB KingCook County jail, 10 September 1970Two years after Johnny Cash's turn at Folsom prison, the blues legend King performed in Chicago to an audience of 2,000 prisoners, mostly young and black. A subsequent live album highlighted the dire conditions at the jail, helping bring about prison reform, which became a lifelong cause for King. Aretha Franklin at Fillmore West5-7 March 1971Franklin's appearance at Fillmore West wasn't a star-making performance – she was already very much a star – but it featured the Queen of Soul at the peak of her powers, actively seeking to build a bridge to a post-hippy audience, covering Stephen Stills, Bread and the Beatles. Judging by the crowd's reaction, it worked. David BowieHammersmith Odeon, London, 3 July 1973The moment when David Bowie appears to announce his retirement during this show is astonishing: the crowd's screams become a vast howl of disappointment, peppered with yells of “No!” Did he mean it? Bob Marley & the WailersThe Lyceum, London, 17-18 July 1975Probably the most dynamic and exhilarating reggae concerts ever. Perhaps more importantly, the presentation was familiar enough to the rock establishment to allow them to feel comfortable with roots reggae. The Last WaltzWinterland Ballroom, San Francisco, 25 November 1976This Thanksgiving Day show was billed as the Band's “farewell concert appearance”.

This week, hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot discuss the age-old question: is KISS good?

 In an encore episode from 2015, we listen in as Dave explores the multi-generational sounds of not only bluegrass with Dillard and Clark and The Hackberry Ramblers, but we'll also cross the genres (as we are wont to do) with Cowboy Copas, Clara Ward, Otis Spann, and Doris Day. There's a couple of different threads that run through the show today, one being that of the ‘devil' and the other being of ‘new mornings'. Tune in at a special time and see what's in store on a late-fall morning in West County. And please, donate to community radio:  kowsfm.com.

De la primera antología de blues aparecida en España, en 1970, a través de Decca nos faltaron ayer por oír dos temas: V.A. The World Of Blues Power Decca – CPS 9072 España 1970 Lista de Títulos B6 Ten Years After– Speed Kills B5 Champion Jack Dupree– Third Degree Una vez oído ese soberbio disco que alternaba un tema inglés moderno con otro norteamericano clásico de Chicago, vamos con la segunda antología, que se publica en España como respuesta al doble "Llena tu cabeza de rock" de la CBS que arrasó en 1970 y supuso la tarjeta de presentación de la compañía al asentarse en España. En este doble todos los artistas son británicos menos Frijid Pink que eran de Detroit, los Bintangs y Blues Dimension, holandeses, y el gran Otis Spann, nacido en Misisipi pero considerado uno de los mejores pianistas de Chicago.

Listen to this edition of the Pan-African Journal hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. We feature at the bottom of the first hour our regular PANW reports with dispatches on developments involving United States-Cuba relations, the burgeoning battle over the world's water resources, an update on the floods that have hit Ghana over the last week and the ongoing U.S.-backed Saudi-GCC war against Yemen. The second hour in honor of Black Music Month we examine the legacy of the Blues and Jazz with a rare archival radio broadcast from 1960 highlighting African American poet, novelist, playwright, songwriter and social commentator Langston Hughes. Others in this segment include blues artists James Cotton and Otis Spann. In the final hour we will hear another treasured documentary reviewing the life and artistic contributions of Jazz singer Eddie Jefferson who was heavily influenced by Charlie Parker and other be-bop musicians who emerged during World War II and afterwards.
