BYRON BLUESFEST 2013

I thought it'd be a great idea to put the latest albums up from the artists playing at Bluesfest - so those of you lucky enough to go can check out what you want to see. And for those of you overseas who, I'm sure, will be extremely jealous. So…Continue

Acolyte of bluesmen Furry Lewis and Sleepy John Estes, sideman of Dylan and the Rolling Stones, producer of Big Star, the Replacements and Screamin` Jay Hawkins, world-class song bag, down-home bon vivant and fond father of several North Mississippi Allstars, Jim Dickinson is a legend.
Rare 1990 LP (Vol 2 Spring Poems) from Jim Dickinson on the long defunct New Rose label, this is a work of music done as score music for (apparently) 5 films. This was out on the market and out of print quite quickly. This may also be the first recorded appearances of Dickinson's sons, North Mississippi Allstars Luther Dickinson and Cody Dickinson.

James Luther Dickinson & North Mississippi All Stars – I’m Just Dead I’m Not Gone (2012)
Posthumous collection from the legendary Memphis producer and musician. I’m Just Dead, I’m Not Gone is a reflection of Dickinson’s lifelong affinity for songs that have style, substance and, are at the same time, truthful. The blues roots of his art is present in songs from the Furry Lewis and Sleepy John Estes catalogs along with tracks emblematic of Jim’s career-long relationship with folk and soul music, all which he alchemically transformed into sanctified rock ‘n’ roll in the barrel house tradition. Dickinson is very much alive on these incendiary tracks reaffirming the prescient contention that gives this remarkable set its title.

Guy Davis – The Adventures of Fishy Waters: In Bed with the Blues (2012)

Guy Davis has given us not just a blues CD with The Adventures of Fishy Waters: In Bed with the Blues, but a real audio play which tells the story of Fishy Waters, a hobo who traveled across the South. Fishy headed for Nashville to become a blues musician in the days before World War II.
Once we are introduced to Fishy, he tells tall tales, sings the blues, and shares stories of his life and the characters he meets on his travels. African-Americans and rural white people in the South shared a lot of common folklore.
After the first half of the disc one, things turn very tragic with “The Lynching,” which is followed by much darker humor. It illustrates how African-Americans often used laughter as a coping mechanism. Disc two tells Fishy’s own story, from learning the blues from his favorite alcoholic uncle, Juno, to leaving home and hitting the road. At first he’s alone, but later he’s with a group of hobos he encounters on the way.

Guy Davis completely inhabits the character of Fishy. However, he also portrays other characters in the story with great skill that was probably inherited from his famous parents, Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis. He is also an accomplished blues guitarist and singer, skillfully weaving his own original music with that of such blues greats as Rev. Gary Davis, Blind Willie McTell, Robert Johnson, and Big Bill Broonzy.

“The task of a story teller, in a dramatic setting, is to include stories that encompass the full range of emotion,” Davis stated in the press release for the CD. The Adventures of Fishy Waters certainly succeeds in this.

Altogether this audio play succeeds in providing a thoughtful, engrossing, and absolutely believable look into life on the road in the Deep South prior to World War II. Words and music fit together beautifully to make Fishy’s character come alive. The CD is a unique creation and well worth the attention of blues lovers and those interested in folklore and history as well

Left Lane Cruiser & James Leg – Painkillers (2012)

In case you wondered whatever became of the tradition of the blues jam, it was alive and kicking for a few days in Detroit when raw and rootsy guitar-and-drum duo Left Lane Cruiser headed into a recording studio with James Leg, the keyboard player and vocal howler from the Black Diamond Heavies, to lay down a set of high-octane cover tunes. Producer Jim Diamond sat in on bass and Harmonica Shah stopped by to blow some harp, and the result is Painkillers, a loud and rowdy collection of bluesy wailing for the 21st century. Like plenty of bands on the punk-blues axis, both Left Lane Cruiser and James Leg approach their music with the ferocity of a starving dog that’s been tossed a bloody steak, and ifyou’re looking for anything approaching subtlety, Painkillers is not for you. But the musicians on this date all seem to be on the same page — they want to get loud and boogie like they’re expecting to be taken to jail in the morning, and for a makeshift band, these performances are surprisingly tight and emphatic. Leg’s trademark “Tom Waits with a sore throat” growl is as over-the top as it’s always been, but in this context, it suits the material just fine, and his swirling organ and thickly distorted electric piano are rich and satisfying, while the manic slide guitar of Frederick “Joe” Evans IV and hard-stomping drumming of Brenn Beck are as greasy as a good burger and just as tasty. Diamond’s rock-solid bass work and full-bodied engineering is just the right icing on this particular cake, as are the primal harp blasts from Harmonica Shah, and if the set list — a list of blues and blues-rock standards ranging from Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker to the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin — isn’t especially imaginative, these guys attack like the best sort of bar band, and the version of Bob Seger’s “Come to Poppa” suggests they were embracing the Detroit experience to the fullest. Painkillers suggests an overdriven, punk-infused variation on Canned Heat’s old formula, and if they’re never going to get to cut an album with John Lee Hooker, at least they have the good sense to see that their boogie isn’t endless, and for 35 minutes, this is a house party worth a visit.

The Popes – New Church (2012)

The Popes started life as Shane MacGowan’s post Pogues project. Shane brought the band together after being kicked out of the Pogues when his boozing got a little out of control / completely unmanageable (delete as applicable) and recorded a couple of studio albums and a live record before returning to the Pogues fold some years later. The remaining Popes presumably had enjoyed themselves, and duly elected to continue without their iconic singer, whose place was taken by Paul “Mad Dog” McGuinness. New Church is their fourth post-Shane record.
“New Church” kicks off with the raucous punk blast of “Storming Heaven” – at which point you could never imagine their ranks had contained an ex-Pogue – before moving into the more considered, brooding title track. The gentle, country-flavoured anthem “Throw Down Your Aces” features former drug smuggler / Loaded columnist Howard Marks, which is fun. “Alice” soon follows, initially almost as raucous as the opener before developing into a Gaslight Anthem-style shoutalong number.
While “A Little More” does sound a little like a TV theme, it somehow manages this without being terrible, which is something, and “Alice” is reprised in an acoustic form before “What’s Done Is Done”, another stonking drinkalong number, and “Back In The Day” bring the record to an end. It’s clearly not at all necessary to keep your most famous member in the band, on this evidence.

JOHN LENNON - The Gold Collection (2012)

John Winston Ono Lennon has been exhumed in print more than any other popular musical figure, including the late Elvis Presley, of whom Lennon said that he "died when he went into the army". Such was the cutting wit of a deeply loved and sadly missed giant of the twentieth century. As a member of the world's most successful group ever, he changed lives, mostly for the better. Following the painful collapse of The Beatles, he came out a wiser but angrier person. Together with his wife Yoko Ono, he attempted to transform the world through non-musical means. Almost from the moment that Lennon's heart stopped in the Roosevelt Hospital the whole world reacted in unprecedented mourning, with scenes usually reserved for royalty and world leaders. His records were re-released and experienced similar sales and chart positions to that of the Beatles" heyday. While all this happened, one could "imagine" Lennon calmly looking down on us, watching the world's reaction, and having a huge celestial laugh. Lennon had a brilliant sense of humour and a deeply romantic heart. He could be cruel and unbelievably kind; he could love you one minute and destroy you with his tongue a few minutes later. Opinions as to his character are subjective. What is undeniable, is that the body of songs he created with Paul McCartney is the finest popular music catalogue ever known. His composition "Imagine" was voted one of the songs of the millennium, and for many of us has more power and meaning than any national anthem. - john-lennon.com

PAUL McCARTNEY - The Gold Collection (2012)

Sir James Paul McCartney is the most successful songwriter in the history of popular music. McCartney is a multiple Grammy Award- and Academy Award-winning English singer-songwriter, poet, composer, multi-instrumentalist, entrepreneur, record producer, film producer, painter, and animal rights and peace activist. He gained worldwide fame as a member of The Beatles, alongside John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. McCartney and Lennon formed one of the most influential and successful songwriting partnerships and wrote some of the most popular songs in the history of rock music. After leaving The Beatles in 1970, McCartney launched a successful solo career and formed the band Wings with his first wife, Linda Eastman, and singer-songwriter Denny Laine. He has worked on film scores and classical and electronic music, released a large catalogue of songs as a solo artist, and taken part in projects to help international charities.

McCartney is listed in Guinness World Records as the most successful musician and composer in popular music history, with 60 gold discs and sales of 100 million singles. His song “Yesterday” (credited to Lennon/McCartney, but composed entirely by McCartney) is listed as the most covered song in history—by over 3,500 artists so far—and has been played more than 7,000,000 times on American television and radio. Wings’ 1977 single “Mull Of Kintyre” became the first single to sell more than two million copies in the UK, and remains the UK’s top selling non-charity single. According to britishhitsongwriters.com, he is the most successful songwriter in UK singles chart history, based on weeks that his compositions have spent on the chart.
