Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out - Danny Barker
Danny Barker (January 13, 1909 – March 13, 1994), born Daniel Moses Barker, was a jazz banjoist, singer, guitarist, songwriter, ukelele player and author from New Orleans, founder of the locally famous Fairview Baptist Church Marching Band. He was a rhythm guitarist for some of the best bands of the day, including Cab Calloway, Lucky Millinder and Benny Carter throughout the 1930s.
On September 4, 1945 he recorded with Ohio's native jazz pianist—Sir Charles Thompson—a date that included saxophonists Dexter Gordon and Charlie Parker. Barker's work with the Fairview Baptist Church Brass Band was pivotal in ensuring the longevity of jazz in New Orleans, producing generations of new talent. Brothers Wynton Marsalis and Branford Marsalis both played in the band as youths as well as "The King of Treme" Shannon Powell, Lucien Barbarin, Dr. Michael White and countless others. One of Barker's earliest teachers in New Orleans was fellow banjoist Emanuel Sayles, whom he recorded with. Throughout his career, he played with Jelly Roll Morton, Baby Dodds, James P. Johnson, Sidney Bechet, Mezz Mezzrow, and Red Allen. He also toured and recorded with his wife, singer Blue Lu Barker.Write on our Facebook Wall or post your Photos of great blues events! - Here

Goin' Up The Country - "Papa Egg Shell" Casey
The unfortunately named Papa Egg Shell Casey was a relatively obscure St Louis bluesman in the 1930's who recorded very little but these show him to have been a very good singer and excellent guitar player. Sometimes also known as Papa Slick Head, Casey gained his nickname as a result of his premature baldness. The few recordings he made demonstrate his dexterity on guitar using picked strings, backed by a strong, slightly nasal voice. His song "Goin' Up the Country", which he wrote, survives as a very accessible track and one of the best examples of takes on the 'Kansas City Blues' theme. There is virtually no reliable biographical detail on him and no references to him after the second world war.

New Release by Mary Bridget Davies - Wanna Feel Somethin' - Review
I just received this debut release Wanna Feel Somethin' by Mary Bridget Davies. Excuse my French but this cd kicks ass. Seven of the 10 tracks on this release are self penned and the band just cooks. Davies has a great blues voice and a lot of Aretha's flair. That's a killer combination. Your Kinda Love has roots in Muddy with rhythm along the lines of Hoochie Coochie Man but this song is strait up and Davis sings with conviction. Won't pay You Mind is a jump blues and has great guitar lead track which gets you going. Again Davies has terrific vocal style. There are some cool horn and guitar solos throughout that give the already great track some real some weight. Same Ol' Blues slows things down and gives Davies the chance to show her vocal styling which by the way doesn't resemble American Idol (whew!). Again Davies vocals are punctuated with very nice guitar accompaniment by Dave Hayes. Here is where you can really see some of the Aretha influence come through where she passes on the Star Search pyrotechnics. Real Thing gets a funky groove going and is handled a lot like "the real thing" as opposed to later pretenders mimicking the funky soul groove of the 60's and 70's. Great track. Gettin' Stronger.... starts off with a great little slide interlude and leads into again a soul based blues tune from earlier times. Excellent. The title track, Wanna Feel Somethin' is a soul, blues, funk fusion track that works well with the set and I can't say a negative thing about Davies' voice..I really like it. Trick The Devil begins with a country blues like slide guitar hook and gives Davies a solid basis to stretch her wing vocally again telling stories and picking up steam toward the end developing into a full swing. The recording ends with a couple of cover tunes, Wonderwall and Thunder and Lightnin' which are not as strongly written as Davies' own compositions. Here voice is still strong and these tracks give her to show different sides of her voice but don't add significantly to the overall release. And I do want to mention the band: Dave Hayes on guitar and vocals, Gary Roberts on bass and vocals, Chris Hazelton on Organ, Keys and vocals, Joe Voye on Drums and vocals, Pete Carroll on Trumpet and vocals, Mick Rowland on sax and vocals and Aaron Thomas on tambourine do a terrific job,
I really like this recording. Mary Bridgett Davies is a great up coming singer/songwriter and I'm looking forward to see what she comes up with next.

Amateur bluesman ; freelance journalist for Blues In Britain mag. I run a monthly acoustic blues night at the Cellar Bar, Foregate street, in Worcester, third Tuesday every month.

I'm married, and childless, but not because I don't like 'em. I've tried to find out how I can change those details, but without success.

Big Fat Butterfly - Saunders King
Saunders Samuel King was born in Staple, Louisiana, United States. He was the son of a preacher, and sang in his father's church while growing up in Oakland, California. As a youngster he learned to play piano, banjo and ukelele, but did not pick up guitar until 1938. At the end of the 1930s he sang with the Southern Harmony Four on NBC radio, and decided to begin playing blues music; he released the tune "S.K. Blues" in 1942, which became a major nationwide hit. The tune featured electric blues guitar, one of the earliest recordings to do so.
The lyrics tell of the singer's dissatisfaction with his bald-headed girlfriend:
"I did more for you baby than the good lord ever done (2X)"
"I went downtown and bought you some hair and the good lord never gave you none"
This verse proved particularly popular and has come to be considered a traditional blues lyric.
The song concludes on a theme of violence toward women:
"Give me back that wig I bought you, I'm gon' let your head go bald (2X)"
"Keep on high timin' me baby, you won't have no hair, no head at all"
King had a series of setbacks in the 1940s which hurt his career; his wife committed suicide in 1942, his landlord shot him with a .45-caliber pistol in 1946, and he was jailed for heroin possession shortly after. He recorded for Aladdin Records, Modern Records, and Rhythm Records, and retired from active performance in 1961, devoting himself to work in the church. In 1979, he played with Carlos Santana, his son-in-law, on the album Oneness.
King was paralyzed by a stroke in 1999, and died the following year in Oakland, California, at age 91

Jefferson Gonçalves
Jefferson Gançalves, native of Rio de Janeiro, began his musical career in the 1990 ́s, following a common road for many harmonica players: the blues. He right away changed his profession from a banker to a musician, began a band called Based in Blues and an acoustic trio called Blues, Etc., and recording with musicians of different musical genres became known as a consegrated name among Brazilian harmonica players- as well as a Brazilian representative in international harmonica events,like the Society for the Preservation and Advancement of Harmonicas (enconter in Detroit, Michigan in 1998)
However, Jefferson did not limit his musical horizons with American blues. He identified similarities between black american music and Northeastern Brazilian forró music based on rhythms such as baião, xaxada and xote. This perception enlarged his muisical horizons.
He then began a serious study of the representative artists of Northeastern brazilian music. He discovered maracatu and rural samba and incorporated these elements in his first solo CD, “Greia” (2004). This musical mixture was well received by critics and public. “Greia” incorporates in the same “basket” the creativity of Bob Dylan and Luis Gonzagas, and the swing of Jackson do Pandeiro and Ray Charles. It ́s all music, all in all, and of extreme quality. Parallel to this, Jefferson improved his work in art education, centered on the blues, which he has been developing in Rio de Janeiro since 1996. He has released DVD ́s showing the fundamentals of the diatonic harmonica and has established himself as a reference of harmonica instruction in Brazil.
He has taken his playing to diverse audiences, as well as diversifying his area of presentations, broadening his musical and educational horizons. In 2002, 2003, he toured Argentina, performing in some of the best locations in Argentina, like the San Martin Theatre. Also in 2003, he administered the first harmonica workshop in Nova Olinda, located in the Cariri region of the state of Ceara.
For this project, put together in colaboration with an NGO, Fundação Casa Grande- Memorial do Homem Kariri (Main House Foundation- Kariri people memorial), Jefferson used a conceptual basis of his musical mixture. He left a recording also a studio tool, which is a video classroom produced by the very students of the institute.The resutls were extremely positive. Upon returning to Nova Olinda in 2005, one could see the progress of the young ONG musicians, considering the rich possibilities the harmonica offers, a versatil instrument, applicable to different rhythms, of unquestionable portability, and above all, of low cost. Not only this: a support band was created in the city, with which presentations were made in the Cariri region.
Since 2004, in association with SESC- Ce,(social business service), SEBRAE,( Brazilian service support for small business) and the Via de Comunication production group, Jefferson gave many harmonica workshops and formed musical groups, he travelled to the Ceara cities of Sobral,Juazeiro do Norte, Crato, Iguatu, Fortaleza, Guaiuba, Maranguape, Guaramiranga, Piacatuba, Caucáia, São Gonçalo do Amarante, among others. In these cities he chose non-professional musicians and formed a band in every city. He taught musical theory and chose the repetoire of each band, organized the musical arrangements and travelled with these “new” musicians to Guaramiranga, where the bands played during the Jazz and Blues Festival, and today many of these musicians are professionals playing in their respective cities.
In 2005 he challenged himself for his second CD, “Northeast Connection – Greia Live”, recorded July 19, 2005, at the Theatre II of the Central Bank Cultural Center, Rio de Janeiro during the It ́s Bues Time project. Still in 2005, he participated in the first edition of the Brazil Harmonica Forum in Fortaleza, the only Brazilian event focusing on the harmonica which combines musical presentations with workshops, reaching all social classes, giving classes to children and teens of the Raimundo Fagner Foundation.
This same year, he returned to the United States for another series of shows, this time along side the guitarrist Big Gilson and the english singer The Wolf. The musicians performed in musical clubs considered essential for the blues and or jazz, like the Blue Note (New York), Deep Ellum Blues (Texas) and the Bamboo Room (Florida), among others. In 2007, he made his first european tour, sponsered by Hering Harmonicas. His first stop was Frankfurt Germany, at the largest musical instrument convention, the Musikmesse, where he officially released a line Hering Harmonicas with his signature and afterward, continued on to Spain where he performed along side guitarrist Big Gilson, in Madrid and Toledo.
In 2008 the musician performed with his band at the 9th edition of the Jazz and Blues Festival of Guarmiranga- Ceara, in march released his third solo CD: Pure Air (Blues Time Records) and in June he performed together with guitarrist Kleber Diaz at the Senegal Folk Festival, taking place in Dakar at the Verdure Theatre of the Leopold Sedar French Institute, an invitation made by the Brazilian Embassy in Senegal and the Senagal musical group, Les Freres Guisse; besides performing with the group, the duo presented to the Senagal public a mixture of blues and Brazilian northeast rhythms and songs from his Pure Air CD. The great sucess enabled the group to return to Senegal in 2009 and 2010, this time accompanied by the dancer, Juliana Longuinho with the Roots project, and besides the shows in the Hann park and Hann beach, Jefferson gave harmonica workshops for needy children in Dakar.
With all this experience obtained in hundreds of shows, recordings and workshops, Jefferson Gonçalves has been a reference for harmonica playing in Brazil.

Key To The Highway - Joe Filisko and Eric Noden with Predrag Lovrinčević on harp and Ivan Gilić on piano
Joe Filisko gets a wide variety of sounds from his harmonica including soaring melodies and driving percussive rhythms. He can make his harp cry, flutter, sing or sound like a train from one moment to the next. He is known around the world both as a player, historian and as a customizer of this often misunderstood instrument. Filisko’s customized Marine Band harmonicas have been played by many world renowned artists including Charlie Musselwhite, Kim Wilson, Billy Boy Arnold and Wade Schuman of Hazmat Modine.
Eric Noden sings, shouts and stomps while conjuring old spirits from the strings of his acoustic guitar. Varying his approach from song to song, Noden draws from a deep well of American music that fuels his high energy performing style. His right hand thumb often lays down a driving bass figure that weaves around intricate melodic parts played with his fingers. This style, favored by early bluesmen like Charley Patton and Blind Blake is rarely used by modern guitar players and difficult to capture.

Further bio, tour, and contact information can be found below.
*****
Early in her career, Maggie was best known in Europe as a guitarist for The Darleens and influential group Miss B Haven. After the breakup of Miss B Haven, Maggie discovered the pedal steel and soon made trails to Nashville, where she studied with pedal steel legend, Jeff Newman, and quickly found herself immersed in the Seattle music scene lending her talents to Christy McWilson, Mark Pickerel (Screaming Trees), Giant Sand and John Doe.
After spending years perfecting her skills on the pedal steel as a supporting player, in 2011 Maggie released her beautiful solo debut Coming Home through Bloodshot Records, an album featuring Calexico (Joey Burns and John Convertino), Mark Lanegan, Jon Auer and Rachel Flotard.
"Bjorklund's playing and songwriting conjure up romanticized roadhouses and late-afternoon sunlight filtered through whiskey, smoke and windows coated with decades' worth of dust. It's enough to make you want to jump ship and join her in whatever voyage she's on." - NPR

I55 Productions artist: Robert "Nighthwawk" Tooms - Spectator Shoes - Review
I've been listening to the Robert "Nighthawk" Tooms release, Spectator Shoes. It really quite good! The recording is made up of 11 tracks, most of the tracks being written by Tooms. First up is the title track, Spectator Shoes, a song about those cool black and whites (of course I have a pair)and how they make the day. This has some really cool guitar riffs and Tooms shows his vocal and harp chops and of course some cool B-3 thrown in. Forgive and Forget is a loping Texas style blues that will get your foot stompin'. It is a great rhythmic track as well as having great cool instrumental breakouts. Whooping and Hollering features Earl Forest on vocals and is a very solid blues song driven by bass and piano. Tooms is a really good pianist and it shows throughout this recording. Feed The Monkey is a laid back tune with a bit of a jazz twist. Aside from the clever lyrics, this tracks has some great riffs on guitar and keys. Cotton's Sack is really a harp driven song and Tooms shows his able capabilities on the harp. This may be my favorite track on the disk. Ode To Jimmy McGriff is a classic B-3 song. High Fidelity Blues is a great harp tune looking back at the Chicago blues and it's immediately recognizable sound. Next time you see me has that classic Texas blues drive great for a guitar riff and some great harp. Crumpty-ta-lump is a Texas style mostly instrumental track to finish out the set.
If you haven't heard this recording before, it's worth the time!!

Trying, Trying - L.C. (Lightning Jr.) Williams
L. C. was born March 12, 1924, in Millican, Texas, and since his teen years had worked as a singer and dancer, appearing on stage shows and in dance halls in and around Houston. Always a heavy drinker, he spent most of his time in recent years hanging around the corner of Holman and Dowling with wine-drinking buddies among whom he was known for being able to consume 55 worth of sweet wine — at 75c. for 4/5ths of a quart — on any given day he happened to have $5. Since the onset of the tuberculosis he had pretty much given up singing and earned his casual living by playing drums for Lightnin and other dance hall groups.
A slight, yellow-eyed and extraordinarily amiable young man, L. C. was one of a group of bluesmen who enjoyed moderate success in the post-war era but remained in his native state among family and friends. He was one of several proteges of Lightnin Hopkins who brought about L. C.'s first recording session and accompanied him on those sides made for the Gold Star label in 1947. The records were made under the name "Lightning Jr." His later records, with Lightnin and with small jump combos, appeared on Imperial, Freedom, and Jax.

All That You Dream - Bill Payne and Little Feat
Bill Payne (born March 12, 1949, Waco, Texas, USA) co-founded, with Lowell George, the American rock band Little Feat. He is considered by many other piano rock musicians, including Elton John, to be one of the finest American piano rock and blues music artists. In addition to his trademark barrelhouse blues piano, he is noted for his work on other keyboard instruments, particularly the Hammond B3 organ. Payne is also an accomplished songwriter whose credits include co-writing, with Lowell George, the Little Feat classic, "Oh, Atlanta."
Payne has worked and recorded with other musicians including J. J. Cale, Doobie Brothers, Emmylou Harris, Bryan Adams, Pink Floyd, Bob Seger, Toto, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt, Helen Watson, Stevie Nicks, Shocking Edison, and Stephen Bruton. He was a guest performer on Bonnie Raitt's album Sweet Forgiveness in 1977, and wrote its track, "Takin' My Time."
Paul Barrere and Bill Payne played several live concerts with Phil Lesh and Friends, from 10/21/99 to 10/31/99, on 3/10/00, and from 6/21/00 to 7/30/00.
Following the death of Little Feat drummer Richie Hayward on August 12, 2010, Payne is the only member of the group remaining from the original four-piece line-up.

Flora Molton
Born 1908, Virginia, USA, d. 31 May 1990, Washington DC, USA. Molton began preaching at the age of 17, not taking up guitar until 1943, when she moved to Washington DC. Virtually blind, she supported herself by playing in the streets. From 1963, she made appearances on the folk circuit, and was later signed by a European record company when she visited Europe in 1987. Her slide guitar playing in "Vastopol" (open D) was basic but intense, owing much to the blues whose verbal content she fiercely rejected. Her delivery was generally reminiscent of an unsophisticated Sister Rosetta Tharpe, particularly when Molton was assisted by more skilful musicians.

San Francisco Bay Blues - Lone Cat Jesse Fuller
Jesse Fuller was born in 1896 in Jonesboro, Georgia. He never knew his father and his mother gave him away to another family at the age of seven. He was beaten and starved, "treated worse than a dog" he said. When he was nine, living with a family named Wilson near Macedonia, Georgia, he showed his first musical interest when he constructed himself a mouth bow. "I made a bow like the Indians used to use and put some wax on the string," explained Fuller. "I put the bow in my mouth and pick the string and it sounded like a jew's-harp. I don't know how the idea ever came into my head." By the age of ten, he had also built a crude guitar and was learning to play songs from various musicians at Saturday night dances that he managed to sneak into.
Jesse Fuller died on January 30, 1976 in Oakland. By the start of the 1980s, though folk artists still included some of his songs in their repertoire, little of Jesse's recorded work was still available. A few albums of his 1960s work continued to be offered by small record companies, an example being Fantasy Records' 'Brother Lowdown', a repackaging of Fuller's Prestige recordings, and 'The Lone Cat' on GTJ with was digitally remastered and released on CD in 1990 by GTJ.

House Snake Blues - CHICKEN WILSON & SKEETER HINTON
Of George "Chicken" Wilson and Jimmy "Skeeter" Hinton, we know only their music, a selection of energetic dance instrumentals interspersed with more reflective blues. Wilson plays guitar and kazoo, while his partner switches between harmonica and two makeshift percussion instruments, a "bellboard" and the more familiar washboard.
