Joe Louis Walker's new CD is exactly "Between a Rock and the Blues"

Even though Joe Louis Walker has been receiving critical acclaim for his tough and original blues for years, I think he's been an under-appreciated force in the music for way too long. His latest CD, another of those mid-year Stony Plain releases that I'm just getting caught up on, is titled "Between a Rock and the Blues," and that's a pretty good description of where his music is located....

The “intense delicacy” of the last of the Mohicans in Texas

Tasting through the current releases of López de Heredia the other day in Austin made me feel like Big Joe Turner’s Mississippi bullfrog in “Flip, Flop, and Fly”: I’m like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin’ on a hollow stump/I got so many good bottles of wine, I don’t know which way to jump. I was thrilled to [...]

My face was cherry red…

I was at a union conference yesterday, and spent the evening in the bar. A conference delegate had a guitar with him and could just about manage a twelve-bar: so yours truly sang the blues. It went down very well in the bar, and got an oblique mention at the start of next day’s conference. What they [...]

another nrbq song

Here's another song off the 30-year old cassette tape of the live radio broadcast of NRBQ playing at Toad's Place. "Honey Hush" is another Big Joe Turner classic; you can listen to NRBQ's cover of "Shake Rattle and Roll" from earlier this week. In this version, Al Anderson sings (or, more accurately shouts) the lyrics. The Whole Wheat Horns are prominently featured, including an...

From the late 1920s all the way up to 1950, Rushing and pianist-bandleader...

Glenn Patrik: Nuthin' But a Thang!

From America's heartland, Glenn Patrik sings and plays the kind of blues that made Kansas City a hub where musical pioneers met and exchanged ideas about swing, rhythm, blues, and being spontaneous. It was shortly before World War II and just about the same time that bebop was getting noticed in New York, when Kansas City began its parlay with the blues. Give {{Charlie Parker = 10115}} credit for much...
