Nacido en Woking, Surrey (sí, paisano de The Jam), Ian Whitcomb montó un grupo de skiffle, cómo no, en 1957 y una banda de rock and roll en 1959. Pero más importante es que también creó sobre 1961-62 The Ragtime Suwanee Six, para dar salida a su gusto por las antiguallas musicales (ragtime, Tin Pan Alley, vodevil, music hall). Más tarde, en 1963, se trasladó a Dublín para estudiar historia y allí fundó una de las primeras bandas de R&B de la ciudad, Bluesville. Como se ve, a Ian le iban todos los palos, lo moderno y lo trad, lo serio y, sobre todo, lo cómico. Como cantante y líder de Bluesville publicó sólo tres singles en 1964 y 65, discos de corte R&B como "Fizz" o la famosa, su gran éxito, "You Turn Me On (Turn On Song)". En 1983, Big Beat Records publicó el EP "Bluesville Featuring Ian Whitcomb" con cuatro canciones registradas en los Eamonn Andrews Studios de Dublín en primavera de 1965. Una de ellas es "Dance Again", número bailón como su título indica, en el que el sonido R+B del septeto destaca por contener armónica y saxofón.

Pink Anderson (1900-1974)

Pink Anderson was a historic figure whose music included Piedmont-style blues, folk music, ragtime, and traditional ballads. He was born in South Carolina and early on sang in the streets for pennies. He was self-taught as a guitarist and toured throughout the Southeast with a variety of medicine shows (including Dr. William R. Kerr's "cure all medicine") during 1915-1945, picking up work wherever he could. He was employed not only as a musician and a singer but as a dancer and comedian.

Anderson recorded four titles in 1928 but did not make another record until Harlem Street Spirituals in 1950 for Riverside. At that time he recorded such traditional folk material as “John Henry,’ ‘The Ship Titanic,” and “Wreck of the Old 97.” He continued to work at parties, street fairs, and medicine shows during the first half of the 1950s before retiring for a time due to ill health. But in 1961, the Bluesville label recorded three albums of unaccompanied performances by Anderson, documenting him in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The titles of the three records, Carolina Blues Man, Medicine Show Man, and Ballad & Folksinger, vol. 3, sum up Pink Anderson’s life well and are a large slice of the repertoire that he had performed during the previous 35 years.

Pink Anderson stayed active on a part-time basis up until the time of his death in 1974. His music represents the Carolina blues, and the tradition of the constantly traveling folk singer.

Floyd Council (1911-1976)

Floyd Council was a blues singer and guitar slinger who played in the East Coast / Piedmont style. He didn’t record solo often, but he’s still said to have recorded 27 songs, many backing up the legendary Blind Boy Fuller.

Born in North Carolina, Floyd began his musical career on the streets of Chapel Hill in the 1920s, performing with two brothers, Leo and Thomas Strowd as “The Chapel Hillbillies.” He recorded twice for ARC at sessions with Blind Boy Fuller in the mid-thirties, all examples of the Piedmont style. He was sometimes promoted as ‘Dipper Boy Council’, and ‘The Devil’s Daddy-in-Law,’ but these were likely the invention of record companies, not genuine nicknames.

Council suffered a stroke in the late 1960s which partially paralyzed his throat muscles and slowed his motor skills, but did not significantly damage his cognitive abilities. Folklorist Peter B. Lowry attempted to record him one afternoon in 1970, but he never regained his singing or playing abilities. Accounts say that he remained “quite sharp in mind.” Council died in 1976 of a heart attack, after moving to Sanford, North Carolina.

Pink Floyd

Pink Anderson and Floyd Council were both featured on a Blind Boy Fuller album called Country Blues: 1935-1940. The sleeve of that album caught the eye of Syd Barrett, the frontman for London band, The Tea Set. Barrett changed the band's name to Pink Floyd, and the rest is history.

Victoria Spivey

Victoria Regina Spivey (October 15, 1906 – October 3, 1976), sometimes known as Queen Victoria, was an American blues singer, songwriter, and record company founder. During a recording career that spanned 40 years, from 1926 to the mid-1960s, she worked with Louis Armstrong, King Oliver, Clarence Williams, Luis Russell, Lonnie Johnson, and Bob Dylan. She also performed in vaudeville and clubs, sometimes with her sister Addie "Sweet Peas" (or "Sweet Pease") Spivey (August 22, 1910 – 1943). also known as the Za Zu Girl. Among her compositions are "Black Snake Blues" (1926), "Dope Head Blues" (1927), and "Organ Grinder Blues" (1928). In 1961, she co-founded Spivey Records with one of her husbands, Len Kunstadt.

Born in Houston, Texas, she was the daughter of Grant and Addie (Smith) Spivey. Her father was a part-time musician and a flagman for the railroad; her mother was a nurse. She had three sisters, all three of whom also sang professionally: Leona, Elton "Za Zu", and Addie "Sweet Peas" (or "Sweet Pease") Spivey (August 22, 1910 – 1943), who recorded for several major record labels between 1929 and 1937, and Elton Island Spivey Harris (1900–1971). She married four times; her husbands included Ruben Floyd, Billy Adams, and Len Kunstadt, with whom she co-founded Spivey Records in 1961.

Spivey's first professional experience was in a family string band led by her father in Houston. After he died, the seven-year-old Victoria played on her own at local parties. In 1918, she was hired to accompany films at the Lincoln Theater in Dallas. As a teenager, she worked in local bars, nightclubs, and buffet flats, mostly alone, but occasionally with singer-guitarists, including Blind Lemon Jefferson. In 1926 she moved to St. Louis, Missouri, where she was signed by Okeh Records. Her first recording, "Black Snake Blues" (1926), sold well, and her association with the label continued. She recorded numerous sides for Okeh in New York City until 1929, when she switched to the Victor label. Between 1931 and 1937, more recordings followed for Vocalion Records and Decca Records, and, working out of New York, she maintained an active performance schedule. Her recorded accompanists included King Oliver, Charles Avery, Louis Armstrong, Lonnie Johnson, and Red Allen.

The Depression did not put an end to Spivey's musical career. She found a new outlet for her talent in 1929, when the film director King Vidor cast her to play Missy Rose in his first sound film, Hallelujah!. Through the 1930s and 1940s Spivey continued to work in musical films and stage shows, including the hit musical Hellzapoppin (1938), often with her husband, the vaudeville dancer Billy Adams.

In 1951, Spivey retired from show business to play the pipe organ and lead a church choir, but she returned to secular music in 1961, when she was reunited with an old singing partner, Lonnie Johnson, to appear on four tracks on his Prestige Bluesville album Idle Hours.

The folk music revival of the 1960s gave her further opportunities to make a comeback. She recorded again for Prestige Bluesville, sharing an album, Songs We Taught Your Mother, with fellow veterans Alberta Hunter and Lucille Hegamin, and began making personal appearances at festivals and clubs, including the 1963 European tour of the American Folk Blues Festival.

In 1961, Spivey and the jazz and blues historian Len Kunstadt launched Spivey Records, a low-budget label dedicated to blues, jazz, and related music.

In March 1962, Spivey and Big Joe Williams recorded for Spivey Records, with harmonica accompaniment and backup vocals by Bob Dylan. The recordings were released on Three Kings and the Queen and Kings and the Queen Volume Two. Dylan was listed under his own name on the record covers. A picture of her and Dylan from this period is shown on the back cover of the Dylan album, New Morning. In 1964, Spivey made her only recording with an all-white band, the Connecticut-based Easy Riders Jazz Band, led by the trombonist Big Bill Bissonnette. It was released first on an LP and later re-released on compact disc.

Spivey married four times; her husbands included Ruben Floyd, Billy Adams, and Len Kunstadt.

Spivey died in New York on October 3, 1976, at the age of 69, from an internal hemorrhage.

On this day... - April 8th

On this day Led Zeppelin performed:

+ 1969 : Bluesville 69 Club / The Cherry Tree in Welwyn Garden City, UK

“The knobs turn and the sound quickly becomes unbearable. A small box and an antenna that generates an evil sound, this is the definition on “Sonic Wave”. […] The pieces are linked together quickly and demonstrate mastery of each member of the group.” – ‘Finally, good word: Led Zeppelin Bluesville’ by Bruno Ducourant, Rock & Folk

+ 1970 : Dorton Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA

“By the evening’s end the concert had become a tremendous ‘happening’ with hordes of screaming fans massed around the stage, grooving to the Zeppelin’s hard rock sounds. […] The performers displayed amazing energy, starting the performance with a fervour that takes most groups an hour to acquire. As the program progressed, they danced, leaped, cavorted, and literally covered the stage with their movements. […] The group was called back for four encores, with many fans remaining after the show was ended, begging for more. Led Zeppelin was a definite hit in Raleigh.” – ‘Zeppelin makes it – Draws capacity crowd’ by M. Haynes

So this just happened and its very cool to be on SIRIUSXM radio worldwide to 37 million subscribers! My new song "Something's Better than Nothing" hitting the airwaves before its release on Feb 1st 2024!

[julio-viernes]

El original de "You Better Watch Yourself" o "You Better Watch Yourself (Sonny Boy)" de Lightnin´ Hopkins apareció en el LP Bluesville de 1961, "Lightnin' (The Blues Of Lightnin' Hopkins)". No estoy seguro, pero su letra parece un aviso a su amigo Sonny Boy Williamson II que falleció pocos años mas tarde, en mayo de 1965.

"You better watch yourself Sonny Boy. Everybody laughing at you. You better stop drinkning that wine Sonny Boy. Everybody going down for joy. I better tell you about a boy who started drinkning that gin. Drinkning all that wine killed my beste friend".

"You better stop drinkning that wine Sonny Boy. You drink whiskey it'll be bad for you. If you drinkn that wine it will kill you. You better stop drinkning that wine Sonny Boy".

Al respecto, es muy buena la anécdota que cuenta The Band en "The Last Waltz", que poco antes de morir le estuvieron viendo actuar en un bareto y de vez en cuando Sonny escupía en una palangana. Pensaron que era tabaco de mascar, pero al final Robbie Robertson echo un vistazo ahí dentro y se dio cuenta de que era sangre.

En el vídeo de abajo, Robbie rememora la relación de la banda con Sonny. Cuenta que incluso llegaron a tocar con él, y que al viejo bluesman le encantó. Mucho más que tocar con Yardbirds o Animals en Inglaterra, a quienes consideraba unos torpes principiantes, unos "maletillas". Uno y otros estaban en ello, intentando hacer algo excepcional, pero, por diversos motivos nada de eso podía salir bien y todo acabó terriblemente mal.

Another great package to wear on a great start to the weekend. It can be worn to the night out with the fellas after work, parties, performing and red carpet casual events. Even the guys with rocking beards would rock this outfit with swag and confidence. You gotta show some passion of what you wearing to carry yourself with great styling strengths and a Denimhead. In this package, you got a cool Denim jacket from Brooklyn Denim Co, Indigo Batik Gunung Shirt from Bluesville and a pair of "The 1st Raven Banner Series" Jeans from Hans. This outfit can't do justice with a sexy Selvedge Sartorial "The Hemingway" Belt by a talented leather maker from Austin, Texas Jack Barba. To keep his hair together, he gotta have a system of Don Juan Meteor Clay Pomade and Hanz De Fuko Style-Lock Hairspray. Keeping his look fresh and sexy, he gotta have a cologne like Armani Code Profumo. And the final piece of puzzle for the look is a pair of Lucchese Hunter Tan Suede Sheep Boots. 1. Brooklyn Denim Co.

Sept 2, 1966: Cream play Bluesville '66, The Manor House, Finsbury Park, London [photos: unknown]

"I went to the Blues Room at Manor House on Fridays, mostly with my boyfriend Mick in his yellow bubble car! I had already seen John Mayall and Spencer Davis there. It was always exciting, but it was earth shattering when Cream hit the stage and belted out 'NSU'. It was so fucking loud! That's the song I remember and remains my favourite even now. After the gig Ginger and Eric were sitting at a table having a drink in the downstairs bar and I asked them for their autographs. I'm kicking myself now as I had a purge on my possessions in the mid-Eighties and threw them out."
