Four Day Creep - Ida Cox

Ida Cox (February 25, 1896 – November 10, 1967) was an African American singer and vaudeville performer, best known for her blues performances and recordings. She was billed as "The Uncrowned Queen of the Blues"
Cox was born in February, 1896 as Ida Prather in Toccoa, Habersham County, Georgia, United States (Toccoa was in Habersham County, not yet Stephens County at the time), the daughter of Lamax and Susie (Knight) Prather, and grew up in Cedartown, Georgia, singing in the local African Methodist Church choir. She left home to tour with traveling minstrel shows, often appearing in blackface into the 1910s; she married fellow minstrel performer Adler Cox.

By 1920, she was appearing as a headline act at the 81 Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia; another headliner at that time was Jelly Roll Morton.

After the success of Mamie Smith's pioneering 1920 recording of "Crazy Blues", record labels realized there was a demand for recordings of race music. The classic female blues era had begun, and would extend through the 1920s. From 1923 through to 1929, Cox made numerous recordings for Paramount Records, and headlined touring companies, sometimes billed as the "Sepia Mae West", continuing into the 1930s. During the 1920s, she also managed Ida Cox and Her Raisin' Cain Company, her own vaudeville troupe. At some point in her career, she played alongside Ibrahim Khalil, a Native American and one of the several jazz musicians of that era who belonged from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.

In the early 1930s "Baby Earl Palmer" entered show business as a tap dancer in Cox's Darktown Scandals Review.

In 1939 she appeared at Café Society Downtown, in New York's Greenwich Village, and participated in the historic Carnegie Hall concert, From Spirituals to Swing. That year, she also resumed her recording career with a series of sessions for Vocalion Records and, in 1940, Okeh Records, with groups that at various times included guitarist Charlie Christian, trumpeters Hot Lips Page and Henry "Red" Allen, trombonist J. C. Higginbotham, and Lionel Hampton.

She had spent several years in retirement by 1960, when record producer Chris Albertson persuaded her to make one final recording, an album for Riverside titled Blues For Rampart Street. Her accompanying group comprised Roy Eldridge, Coleman Hawkins, pianist Sammy Price, bassist Milt Hinton, and drummer Jo Jones. The album featured her revisiting songs from her old repertoire, including "Wild Women Don't Have the Blues", which found a new audience, including such singers as Nancy Harrow and Barbara Dane, who recorded their own versions. Cox referred to the album as her "final statement," and, indeed, it was. She returned to live with her daughter in Knoxville, Tennessee, where she died of cancer in 1967

It's My Own Fault - ANDREW BROWN

Folks lucky enough to hear him perform his classy brand of blues in clubs throughout Chicago’s southern suburbs referred to guitarist Andrew Brown as Big Brown. His muscular physique contrasted strikingly with his understated brilliance as a modern electric blues guitarist, rendering the imposing nickname doubly apt. Brown never received anything near the acclaim that he deserved over a career spanning more than three decades that ended with his 1985 death.It’s a tribute to his unerring taste and uncommon talent that Brown never made a bad record; the only question is why he received so few chances to cut loose in a studio.

I'm Lost Without You - - Memphis Slim

Memphis Slim (September 3, 1915 – February 24, 1988) was an American blues pianist, singer, and composer. He led a series of bands that, reflecting the popular appeal of jump blues, included saxophones, bass, drums, and piano. A song he first cut in 1947, "Every Day I Have the Blues", has become a blues standard, recorded by many other artists. He made over 500 recordings.
Memphis Slim's birth name was John Len Chatman, and he was born in Memphis, Tennessee, United States. His father Peter Chatman sang, played piano and guitar, and operated juke joints, and it is now commonly believed that he took the name to honor his father when he first recorded for Okeh Records in 1940. Although he started performing under the name Memphis Slim later that same year, he continued to publish songs under the name Peter Chatman.

He spent most of the 1930s performing in honky-tonks, dance halls, and gambling joints in West Memphis, Arkansas, and southeast Missouri. He settled in Chicago in 1939, and began teaming with Big Bill Broonzy in clubs soon afterward. In 1940 and 1941 he recorded two songs for Bluebird Records that became part of his repertoire for decades, "Beer Drinking Woman," and "Grinder Man Blues." These were released under the name "Memphis Slim," given to him by Bluebird's producer, Lester Melrose. Slim became a regular session musician for Bluebird, and his piano talents supported established stars such as John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson, Washboard Sam, and Jazz Gillum. Many of Slim's recordings and performances until the mid-1940s were with guitarist and singer Broonzy, who had recruited Slim to be his piano player after Joshua Altheimer's death in 1940.

Too Much Alcohol - Friends of Adam

FRIENDS OF ADAM IS
Clayton Campania (guitar/vocals)
Ernie Ecreala (bass)
Justin Inocelda (drums)

"My dad told me, 'Nobody wants to hear that music here,'" says Campania. "But I'm going to play what touches me."

Play they do. From "Crossroads" and "Little Wing," the soul of Stevie Wonder and Bill Withers, to a blistering rearrangement of Robert Johnson's "Me and the Devil," and their own originals, Friends of Adam speaks to a genre where Guitar Player is a musician and not a computer game

Can three, young Filipino men play the blues? John Heckathorn, editor of "Honolulu Magazine" wrote: "When Campania picks up his guitar, he channels Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan."

John Hart, confidant of the late guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan exclaimed "they are as for real as anything you will see on Sixth Street in Austin, Texas.

The band has recently opened for Rock n' Roll Hall of Famer, AEROSMITH, at The Blaisdell Arena, multi-Grammy-Award winner, Sheryl Crow, at the Waikiki Shell, and 70s pop sensation, Pablo Cruise at the Aloha Tower Waterfront. They also have recently played a show at the world famous Pipeline Cafe with Darby Slick, of Great Society fame, writer of Somebody to Love by Jefferson Airplane.

The "Honolulu Star Bulletin" stated: "If you like your blues hard and electric, you might look for these guys."

Mississippi Grover Brief Bio:..
Mississippi Grover is NOT from Mississippi, though he did ride a train through there once...
In early 2005, Mississippi Grover rose from the ashes of The Desecrators (Ottawa), born again as a one-man band, playing swampy garage and primitive blues punk stuff, also known as rock 'n' roll. He has been driving around since then, dazzling audiences of all sorts with his moonshiny gumbo of sound. That's right, he's a one-man travelling-medicine-show, and his tonic is SONIC, baby!

New Release - One Hand Man's Band - Review

I stumbled across this band a few days ago when I was surfing the net.I had the chance to download this for free and when I heard it I immediately posted the download link for all of my friends (that's you). I think that this cd is absolutely terrific! I really don't know what it's about. I just know that I love every song on this download and find it to be a lot like the real primitive blues that I love so well. There are 9 tracks on the free download and if you didn't get your copy when I blogged it a few days ago... here's the link again. But just in case, there is a video and free samples here to check out. This guy is on to something.... One Hand... THIS IS GREAT!!!!

New Release: Al Lerman - Crowe River Blues - Review

I just received and have had the opportunity to review the new release by Al Lerman. Lerman is considered one of Canada's top harp players having earned several Maple Leaf Award nominations for both his sax and harmonica playing. He is founder and leader of 2 time Juno Award winning Fathead touring regularly. Crowe River Blues is Lerman's first solo venture with 10 of 13 tracks being originals. Lerner sings and plays guitar on this release and carry's his weight well. The recording opens with Suitcase Blues, an early Texas style blues but with a more acoustic type feel. Strong harp tones ooze from this cd. Chugging the Blues is a harp driven song and one you won't want to miss. Gypsy Feet, more of a country infused blues ballad is well written and has a nice vocal duet. Nobody But Myself To Blame gets the place jumpin' with a Texas swing style track. Instrumentation is particularly interesting on this track featuring harp, sax and piano. Blues So Bad I could Write a Country Song is destined for airplay. It is well constructed, has the story and a great feel. You're the one shows Lerman venturing into Chicago and a good opportunity to give the harp a ride. Harmonica Gumbo is a definite hit on Mardi Gras season with a nice instrumental exploration of Nawlins (loosely based on Iko Iko). She Calls Me River is a funk infused blues song with cool rhythms, keys, and harp. The release finishes up with Solar Power Man, another Nawlins funk based song. In this case vocals added and cool instrumentals to carry you to the end of the cd. Very good first solo!

About this project

From the Desk of...Captain Catfish

Dear KICKSTARTER Friends,

An exciting opportunity has been presented to us, and we need y'all to get on board:

~ shout and holler praise ~

First, I want to thank you for your support and encouragement over the years, specifically where this group of musicians is concerned. This band—Justin Showah, Matt Pierce, Eric Carlton, Alex Holeman and now Ryan Rogers—has sacrificed tremendously and given time and talents to promote this music that we call CATFISH MUSIC. We’ve worked hard and have honed our sound to become an outfit that I consider to be world-class, deserving of a wider audience.

And now, we have a shot at the title, so to speak, and we need your help.

~ raise the white buffalo ~

Our last CD, CONFEDERATE BUDDHA, garnered critical praise as well as some great attention on the national stage and, in doing so, caught the ear of a fantastic producer named Eric Ambel (www.ericambel.com), regarded as one of the best producers in the music industry. Eric came to us to express his interest in producing our next album. I really haven’t seen an opportunity like this one since the old Squirrel Nut Zipper days, and I firmly believe that—with this new music—the band and I can take the world by storm in the same way. As such, the Tri-State Coalition will head into the studio in the coming days--with Eric and his engineer from NYC--to record in Mississippi. With 20+ songs written and demo-ed, we are set to deliver our strongest recording yet, in an album entitled WHITE BUFFALO set for an August 2012 release on Memphis International Records.

This is where you come in.

~ “the Lord loves a cheerful giver” ~

The current economy and destabilized music industry make money hard to come by, for artists. And like many artists, we’re taking matters into our own hands to raise money for our project. Through Kickstarter, we aim to raise $14,000 by Apr. 6 (Good Friday), and we are asking for you—our friends, family and fans—to pledge your support and share with others who might be interested in being part of this project. Money pledged will be safely collected using Amazon payments—but money is ONLY collected if the minimum goal is met in pledges. Our minimum goal is $14,000—seemingly a large amount, but consider that it includes travel, lodging and fees for the producer and engineer ($9,800), necessary computer upgrades for recording ($450), a promotional video ($1,400) and production of limited-edition vinyl LPs for collectors and our donors ($2,500). The remainder will be put toward Kickstarter fees and national touring expenses for the band.

We’ve created some great incentives to offer our donors, at every level--check 'em out. Larger donation options could be collected through a group of friends or corporate backer with whom you may be affiliated, one that might step up at these levels—live performances could be tied in with corporate events, special events, etc. Have pledge parties, get together and get creative--but just get with our program.

Please consider backing our project in whatever way you can—you can pledge online at Kickstarter anytime though April 6th.

We want you to be a part of this music. Help us deliver more catfish music unto the masses.

Keep an eye on the horizon,
Capt. Catfish

BRITISH BANDLEADER CHRIS BARBER RECEIVES OVERDUE U.S. RECOGNITION WITH TWO-CD ANTHOLOGY ON PROPER RECORDS ON MAY 8

BRITISH BANDLEADER CHRIS BARBER

RECEIVES OVERDUE U.S. RECOGNITION

WITH TWO-CD ANTHOLOGY

ON PROPER RECORDS ON MAY 8

Features music from Barber’s incredible 60-year career including previously unreleased collaborations with Muddy Waters, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Mark Knopfler, Jools Holland, Dr. John and Rory Gallagher

LONDON, U.K. — To followers of 20th century British music, Chris Barber needs no introduction: The trombonist and bass player is the pre-eminent name in British trad jazz. A fixture on the British music scene since the early 1950s, he has led a number of excellent bands and can be heard alongside countless world-class players, a title he can surely also claim for himself. The octogenarian, who in 2012 approaches the 60-year mark as a pro bandleader, contributed greatly to the evolution of the British blues and rock scene as a founding director of the legendary Marquee club, linked to the rise of bands such as the Who, Rolling Stones and Sex Pistols.

To celebrate Barber’s 80th birthday and lifetime of achievements in the business, Proper Records U.K. last year released Memories of My Trip, a two-disc anthology of selected recordings spanning the bandleader’s career, giving a comprehensive insight into his life and work and showcasing the music that made him one of the most influential figures in British jazz. The set, due out in the U.S. on May 8, 2012 via Proper American, should give U.S. listeners a taste of what they may have missed. The U.K.’s MOJO magazine gave the compilation four stars.

Barber was not only a hugely successful artist himself, he was also responsible for helping launch the careers of many other musicians, notably singer and banjo player Lonnie Donegan, blues singer Ottilie Patterson, and clarinetist Monty Sunshine, with whom Barber recorded a version of the great Sidney Bechet’s “Petit Fleurs,” which stormed the U.K. singles charts to reach #3 and sold over a million copies. Aside from trad jazz, Barber is well known for involvement with the blues, as well as R&B, gospel, skiffle and more.

Barber (second from right) with Muddy Waters

From his early days with trumpeter Ken Colyer right through to more recent performances where he is still playing at the top of his game, Barber has always displayed an open-minded approach. As well as including several superb recordings of Barber’s own work with his first-rate jazz band, this collection features a number of selected cuts with great players from outside the usual jazz circles, all of whom hold him in deservedly high esteem, among them Eric Clapton, Dr. John, Muddy Waters, James Cotton, Mark Knopfler, Keith Emerson, Van Morrison and Andy Fairweather Low.

The company he keeps is impressive enough, but it is undoubtedly Barber who shines on this double album, his talents matched easily by the obvious enthusiasm and joy apparent in his playing. With an introduction by the Times of London jazz critic and BBC Radio 3 broadcaster Alyn Shipton and personal liner notes complied by Shipton in conversation with Chris himself,Memories of My Trip is perfect for those discovering this music for the first time, or for old friends for whom Barber needs no introduction.

Bozley's Blues Jam - Carl Weathersby

Carl Weathersby was born in 1953, in Jackson, Mississippi and moved to East Chicago, Indiana with his family when he was eight. When he started playing guitar as a teen he said his father always had musician friends stopping by the house. One that used to come by often was this big guy that Carl only knew as Albert, the mechanic. Albert happened to be watching the young Weathersby practicing some Albert King songs on guitar one day. Carl said he had been practicing this one song called 'Cross Cut Saw,' playing it over and over until he said, 'I think I got it. So I started playing it and this guy said, 'man, that ain't the way that song goes, that ain't the way I played it.' It turned out to be Albert King who proceeded to show an amazed Weathersby just how it was supposed to be played. King offered some welcome encouragement to Carl and took a liking to the young lad.

After his tour of duty in Viet Nam, Carl found employment as a steel mill worker, as a prison guard and even a police officer. Weathersby was Albert King's rhythm guitarist between 1979 and 1982, and then spent some 15 years with Billy Branch's Sons of Blues as lead guitarist before striking out on his own.

My Sweet Woman - Drifting Slim (Elmon Mickle)

Driftin' Slim (February 24, 1919 – September 15, 1977) was an African American blues singer, guitarist and harmonica player.

Born Elmon Mickle in Keo, Arkansas, he not only recorded as Driftin' Slim, but also as Model 'T' Slim and under his real name. His recordings were released on the - amongst others - Modern, RPM, Blue Horizon, Styletone, Milestone, Kent, and Flyright record labels.

By the turn of the 1970s, ill health had forced Slim to retire from the music industry and when he died, a chapter of American music — that of the one-man band — had virtually died with him. Slim died in Los Angeles, California, in September 1977.

Come On In - Eddie Chamblee

Eddie Chamblee was a good, sometimes inspirational player who made contributions in both big-band and small-combo settings as well as early R&B. Chamblee studied law at Chicago State University, then played with several Army bands from 1941 to 1946. He headed a small group in Chicago from 1946 until the mid-'50s, then worked for two years with Lionel Hampton, recording and touring in Europe in 1956. Chamblee went back to small combos, and backed vocalist Dinah Washington on many superb dates in 1957, 1958, and 1963. (He and Washington were also briefly married.) Chamblee worked with Milt Buckner and Hampton in the '70s, returning with them to Europe in 1976, 1977, and 1978. He also recorded with each musician, and did some sessions with his own band in 1976. Chamblee played for a short period in Count Basie's orchestra in 1982. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi

If You're A Viper - Herb Morand & Albert Burbank with George Lewis' Band

This old favourite about the delights of reefer smoking is given the New Orleans treatment by Herb Morand tpt and Albert Burbank clt, with Jim Robinson tbn, Lawrence Marrero bjo, Alcide Pavageau and white drummer Bill Matthews. Recorded at a private party in 1949 it's given a real earthy flavour thanks to some fine Burbank clarinet and Morand's vocal ( he sounds as if he's on it).George Lewis (13 July 1900 – 31 December 1968) was an American jazz clarinetist who achieved his greatest fame and influence in the later decades of his life.
Herb Morand (1905 - February 23, 1952) was an American jazz trumpeter associated with the New Orleans jazz scene.
Albert Burbank (March 25, 1902—August 15, 1976) was an American dixieland clarinet player.

Born in New Orleans Albert Burbank was taught clarinet by Lorenzo Tio, one of that cities most famous clarinet players. He stayed in the New Orleans area throughout the 1920s playing wherever his services were needed. During the thirties, he worked with Kid Milton's band but was drafted to the US navy during World War II. Upon demobilization, he worked internationally with the bands of Paul Barbarin and Kid Ory but returned to New Orleans where he played with several of the well-known jazz and brass bands in the city. He was regularly seen at Preservation Hall and toured Australia with a band made up from Preservation Hall musicians. In 1975, he suffered a stroke but continued playing until his death on 15 August 1976
