I should probably have done this in the original post, but: here are some of my favorite ways to discover "new" (meaning new to me, not necessarily freshly released) music!
Radiooooo (listen to music from any country, any decade)
EveryNoise (music genres arranged algorithmically; scroll down to the bottom for an explanation of how it works)
YouTube (there are sooo many amazing channels that specialize in sharing various types of music! I'll link just a few below)
Cactus Man Productions
Alan Lomax Archive
Classic Trash
The Folk Revival Project
Music Records 1920s
Dale Duncan
And I'm always gushing about Last.fm, which I adore. One of my favorite ways to use it (besides following my friends and discovering new music through seeing what they listen to) is to use their "Neighbours" tool to find which other Last.fm users have a musical taste most similar to mine. Then I follow those folks and see what else they listen to â I've discovered so many great artists this way.
And purely for posterity's sake, on this page you can listen to some of the first musical recordings ever made (be aware, they're fascinating as historical curiosities but, uh... they're not exactly "bops", lol):
First Sounds
Wait I'm curious now. What are your grumpy old woman opinions on music consumption?
Hello friend, thanks for the ask! <3 I see you've discovered my "musicblogging" tag in the time it took me to get around to answering this, so hopefully that will go a little ways towards explaining the opinions in question. I'll try to keep this as positive as possible and not too rant too much, but in a nutshell:
There is sooooo much incredible music in the world, in terms of both space and time! We've got recordings of music from a century and a half ago that's still available to listen to, not to mention absolutely everything since then. And you can find music from every country and culture and language in the world, too. It overwhelms me with emotion every time I think about it. There are so many people on this planet, and we have been making music for as long as humanity has existed, and for over 150 years now we've been able to encode the ephemerality of that deeply, magically human form of self-expression so that anyone else â any place in the world, or any time in the future â can hear it too. Connecting with each other over space and time, through music. That's fucking MIND-BLOWING. What an indescribable treasure.
And yet there are still so many people (often Americans, but the point of this post is not to point a finger at any country/culture in particular) who listen to only music sung in their own language, from their own home country, and made in the past... ten years or so. People who think music from the 80s or 90s is "old music". People who don't see the point of listening to a song whose lyrics they can't understand.
I dunno. It just makes me a little sad. Not that there's any "wrong way" to enjoy music â if you genuinely do like only brand new music from your own country and in your own language, and nothing else, that's fine. You do you. But I suspect many of these people aren't even aware of what they're missing.
I guess my wish for everyone in the world is that they get the chance to discover their new favorite song or artist or album, some piece of music that blows their mind or fills them with joy or comforts them in their pain, even if it comes from a place far away or a time long ago.
#music#musicblogging#discovering music#music history#music resources#cosmo gyres#reblogs encouraged! spread the love for old and faraway music <3

Celebrate National Park Week!
Every April, the National Park Service and the National Park Foundation invite everyone to celebrate America's treasured places during National Park Week.
USA National Parks: the Complete Guide to all 62 Parks by Becky Lomax will help you plan a visit to a national park but the library has many resources to bring the beauty, majesty, and history of our amazing national parks into your home.
Feast Your Eyes
Dayton Duncan's The National Parks: America's Best Idea and Ken Burns' companion DVD are an excellent introduction to the National Parks with jaw-dropping images and vistas as well as fascinating tidbits about each park.
The DVD series Discoveries America - National Parks highlights 30 individual parks.
More gorgeous photos may be found in National Geographic's Atlas of the National Parks and Erika Hueneke's Complete Guide to the National Parks.
Our Newest National Park
Indiana Dunes National Park is the newest and most ecologically diverse park in the United States â and it's practically in your backyard!
Kenneth J. Schoon's pictorial history, Dreams of Duneland, highlights the plants and animals of the region and delves into the long history of competition for the unique lands of the Calumet area.
The documentary Shifting Sands: On the Path to Sustainability tells the story of how the diverse ecosystems of the Indiana Dunes sparked a movement for a national park, leading to game-changing environmental policies with worldwide impact along the way. (It's part of our non-circulating collection, but Lakeshore PBS occasionally makes it free to stream!)
For information about enjoying and appreciating our local national park, visit https://www.nps.gov/indu. You can also find information about volunteering at the Indiana Dunes. What better way to celebrate National Park Week than by helping restore and preserve one?

REVIEWING THE CHARTS: 13/02/2021 (Digga D, AJ Tracey, Cardi B)
Itâs not as big of a week as it is just a confusing one, so thereâs no pre-amble. Olivia Rodrigo spends a fifth week at #1 with âdrivers licenseâ and letâs start REVIEWING THE CHARTS.
Rundown
I started writing this a bit later than usual so I just want to rush through most of whatâs here. The songs dropping out of the UK Top 75 are either debuts from not long ago like âNotoriousâ by Bugzy Malone featuring Chip and âLo Vas A Olvidarâ by Billie Eilish and ROSALĂA, or songs that have been here for a while, like âMonsterâ Â by Shawn Mendes and Justin Bieber, âHolyâ by Justin Bieber featuring Chance the Rapper and âDynamiteâ by BTS. We even have some #1 hits dropping out of the Top 75 this week, like âDreamsâ by Fleetwood Mac, âWAPâ by Cardi B featuring Megan Thee Stallion and âShallowâ by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. In terms of fallers, we have, seemingly, some of the older Winter cuts being replaced, as we see âSweet Melodyâ by Little Mix getting a harsh streaming cut down to #30, Â âWhooptyâ by CJ down to #33, âLevitatingâ by Dua Lipa and remixed by DaBaby down to #34 (although this could rebound given the album release), âyou broke me firstâ by Tate McRae at #37, âSO DONEâ by The Kid YAOI at #57, âAll I Wantâ by Olivia Rodrigo at #61, âLooking for Meâ by Diplo, Paul Woodford and Kareen Lomax at #62, âTrain Wreckâ by James Arthur at #63, âSee Nobodyâ by Wes Nelson and Hardy Caprio at #64, âTake You Dancingâ by Jason Derulo at #65, âTherefore I Amâ by Billie Eilish at #68, âBefore You Goâ by Lewis Capaldi at #72 and âGoldenâ by Harry Styles at #73, as well as some more recent debuts, including the entirety of Fredoâs album impact from last week, as âMoney Talksâ with Dave is at #11, âReadyâ with Summer Walker at #31 and âBurner on Deckâ with Young Adz and the late Pop Smoke at #32. âSkinâ by Sabrina Carpenter and âApricotsâ Â by Bicep arenât faring that well either, at #51 and #56 respectively. When I said these songs are being replaced, I wasnât overestimating anything as we have our new crop of hits seemingly all surging, as âMartin & Ginaâ by Polo G is at #54, âBe the Oneâ by Rudimental, MORGAN, TIKE and Digga D is at #49, âBest Friendâ by Saweetie featuring Doja Cat is at #42, âMy Head & My Heartâ by Ava Max is at #35, âLove Not War (The Tampa Beat)â by Jason Derulo and Nuka is at #27, âHeat Wavesâ by Glass Animals is at #24, âYour Love (9PM)â by ATB, Topic and A7S is at #23 (itâs honestly starting to grow on me), and âBlinding Lightsâ by the Weeknd is somehow back up to #20. Speaking of the top 20, we also have âFridayâ by Riton, Nightcrawlers and Musafa & Hypeman dopamine re-editing itself up to #16, âSave Your Tearsâ also by the Weeknd at #15, and two new top 10 hits, both songs with basically the same chart run and genre. âGoosebumpsâ by Travis Scott, remixed by HVME, remixed by Travis Scott is at #10, becoming HVMEâs first and Travisâ fourth top 10 hit here in Britain. We also have âThe Businessâ by Tiesto grooving up to #7, becoming Tiestoâs fourth top 10 hit. I honestly feel bad for the still completely uncredited vocalist. We also have a third new top 10 entry but thatâs a debut that we can discuss later. I should also note that âRosesâ by SAINt JHN and remixed by Imanbek is back at #74, and a winning Eurovision song, âArcadeâ, by Dutch singer Duncan Lawrence is also back at #39 off of the back of some TikTok traction. I think this is the most streamed Eurovision now â Iâd watch out for this being a big hit. Welp, time to get into our really, and I mean REALLY, varied and weird crop of new arrivals, starting with...
NEW ARRIVALS
#75 â âRoadtripâ â Dream and PmBata
Produced by Banrisk and Perish Beats
Okay, so this is a song by Minecraft YouTuber Dream, or at least thatâs who I think he is. I think there was some kind of scandal related to him, and a couple people got involved and someone got doxed... listen, I donât care. Not only is this song really not worthy of reviewing on the principle that unlike Wilbur Soot a couple weeks ago, Dream has never been a musician, which is clear from how involved no-name singer PmBata was in this, but I care for my private information not being made public so... What ridiculous excuse do I have to not review this? Okay, 1997 reggae-rock classic âDoinâ Timeâ by Sublime returns to #75 after Boris Johnson made a TikTok in the Houses of Parliament where he says âPogchamp, Brexiteers, I just got tested for COVID-19â with the song in the background, and Joe Biden is on a Zoom call with him a few seconds later visibly annoyed because he prefers the New Radicals. Sure, letâs go with that. What was this entry about again?
#71 â âGoodbyeâ â Imanbek and Goodboys
Produced by Joris Mur, Imanbek and Goodboys
Everyoneâs favourite Kazakh house producer Imanbek is finally back on the charts with his collaboration with British pop trio Goodboys, who you may know from their carbon-copy hits made with MEDUZA. After listening to that EP he made with Rita Ora, Iâm slightly less impressed with Imanbekâs production, but that EPâs impact, if any, will be seen when the lead single featuring David Guetta and Gunna debuts low next week. Yes, seriously, all four on the same track. Anyway, this song, âGoodbyeâ, is actually pretty okay, with a generic deep house groove and fake hand-clap effectively saved by the Goodboysâ really intriguing vocal delivery and processing, which ends up in a Travis Scott-like Auto-Tune harmony thatâs honestly pretty endearing right before the anti-climactic slap-house drop. The songâs lyrical content probably isnât worth talking about, but itâs about a generic struggle with a break-up, and how hard it is for one of these good boys to say good bye. The build-up with the pre-chorus before the blue-balls second drop is kind of genius, and thatâs probably my favourite part of the song outside of the abrupt vocaloid drop at the end. For what itâs worth, it takes more risks than most of these house-pop songs, most notably by having only a single verse in the middle of the song, and being really short, clocking in at less than two and a half minutes. Itâs not as infectious as âPiece of Your Heartâ, but this is fine. Iâm glad itâs here if itâs going to give Imanbek another non-Rita Ora-assisted hit.
#60 â âLittle Bit of Loveâ â Tom Grennan
Produced by Jamie Scott, LOSTBOY and Daniel Bryer
Tom Grennan is an English singer-songwriter who released their debut record in 2016 and was crowned by the BBC as the âSound of 2017â, before dropping off the face of the Earth. He was brought to fame by a guest feature on a Chase & Status song that didnât even do that well and now heâs back with the lead single from his upcoming sophomore effort, and his highest ever charting song. Well, is it any good? I mean, I like OneRepublic too. The rising strings here in the intro and chorus are pretty cool, and Iâll give it to Grennan for having an interesting voice but the odd level of grit in it does not fit well for this plastic production, which quickly devolves into vaguely danceable synth-mess thatâs just not interesting. The content is mostly about unconditional love, particularly one that feels not particularly reciprocated, although some of the detail in the second verse feels like itâs going somewhere. Iâll admit, the chorus is catchy, but this mix puts way too much emphasis on a flawed vocal take from Grennan, which really detracts from the pathetic excuse for a bridge. I do enjoy how this feels like a flash-back to the mid-2010s, where happier, synth-based pop was this prominent, and I do love how the strings come back in the outro, but good production canât do much to save a song that just feels under-cooked and definitely under-written. The OneRepublic comparison feels particularly fitting here too because their stuff tends to be just as stagnant, not to mention the lyrical riffs off of âCounting Starsâ. I mean, when you start your first verse â in the first 10 or so seconds of the track â with the most recognisable part of a very recognisable song, I think Ryan Tedder deserves at least some royalties.
#58 â âAstronaut in the Oceanâ â Masked Wolf
Produced by Tyron Hapi
Masked Wolf is an Australian singer and this song is actually from June 2019, just gaining enough traction, presumably off of TikTok, to debut on the charts this week. The song got a 2021 reissue and I assume a remix and, well... for Godâs sake. The Kid LAROI should not have been an entry point for Australian trap, because outside of a second or two of distortion in the intro, this is far from unique. It has a guitar-based trap instrumental with dark 808s that even Gunna would pass up on, and an Auto-Tuned delivery from Masked Wolf, clearly trying too hard to replicate Drake in the intro and bridge, Kid Cudi in the chorus, G-Eazy in the first verse, Eminem AND Kendrick on the second verse, to the point where he even directly references Kendrick Lamarâs much better music. He suffers from the same problems as all of these artists combined, with lyrics that seem like theyâre building up off of something interesting about depression before going into aimless flexing like a mid-tier Kid Cudi track, flows that sound as meandering and checked-out as Drakeâs, the failed attempt at some kind of white-boy swagger that G-Eazy hasnât pulled off successfully since 2016, the substance-less content hidden behind fast flows from Eminem and... oh, my God, this guyâs just like Australian Logic. I donât like American Logic, why do we need this guy too? Yeah, this is bad, and thereâs not much worth nitpicking in this mix or even the lyrics to even point out. I guess the worst bar is when he says he believes in G-O-D but not a T-H-O-T. So heâs a slut-shaming NF now? Jesus Christ, Iâd take a full album from The Kid LAROI over this.
So the next two songs are ones Iâll actually need to somewhat lump together, as they are consecutive on the chart and both from the same album, and the same washed-up band.
#53 â âWaiting on a Warâ â Foo Fighters
Produced by Greg Kurstin
We have two songs from Dave Grohl and friends here from their latest album, Medicine at Midnight, technically three if we count the entire top 100, which means, yes, the UK just had a Foo Fighters album bomb. Iâll focus on the album as a whole with the next song because this is easily the worse track here and the worst track on the album purely out of how misguided it is. Dave Grohl wrote this song because he felt inspired by the current hell-scape of the political climate, reminding him of his own youth when he was surrounded by rising Cold War tensions. His young daughter asked him if there was going to be a war and naturally this song came out of it, reflecting on the fears he and his daughter have and that everyone deserves a future and a lifetime not taken away from them by conflict and fear. This is a good song idea but it absolutely does not work, and thatâs partially down to the production. When I first heard this track on the album, I genuinely grimaced at the vocoder-mumble that Grohl takes on against the scratchy acoustic guitars. The whole point of the instrumentation is that it builds tension with rising strings, multi-tracked acoustics and eventually some electric guitars and powerful drums, yet because of how slow-paced the song is, it fails to mirror the rising tension of the prospect of there being a war. Instead, itâs a slog and its pay-off by the end feels unwarranted in the most boring way. Sure, the squeals of the guitars in the back of the mix sound good, but surely a song like this should not end like any of the Foo Fightersâ other pop-rock anthems, especially not as abruptly as it does. Wouldnât you want a more subdued outro to comfort your daughterâs fears that at least right now, everythingâs okay? That would make the most sense to me, but thatâs thrown out of the window, with pathetic songwriting, with verses that play word association with the blandest of rhymes, seemingly irrelevant pop-song-generator filer and a chorus that is mind-numbingly repetitive but ultimately fails to build tension because of the content asking us to wait, constantly, even when it gets into its heavier rock tone. Weâre supposed to wait for something that is only implied to never come, because there isnât finality. Sure, that could work as a way of saying that Grohl is just as uncertain and scared as his daughter is about political conflict, but that would imply this song gives off any further emotion than the fact the Foo Fighters felt the need to cut a vaguely political track out of necessity. As a song, and as an album, Dave Grohl is utterly confused, and âWaiting on a Warâ is way too slow and non-specific to act as a protest song, as well as being way too on-the-nose for it to work as a ballad. Letâs talk about this next single.
#52 â âMaking a Fireâ â Foo Fighters
Produced by Greg Kurstin
What the hell is Greg Kurstin doing here? This is the first track on the album and is supposed to make some kind of gripping impact but is instead just a snoozefest. The choral female vocals sound bored, but at least itâs not as strained as the struggling Dave Grohl trying and failing to yelp over a stiff groove which has its momentum killed by drumming too slow and mixed too oddly to make this pre-chorus even coherent, not helped by Grohlâs butt-rock delivery and non-descript lyrics. There could be a guitar solo here, to make this track feel memorable, but no, itâs hidden under a pre-chorus with an extended gospel bridge that doesnât build up effectively to a chorus that just comes crashing in and hence has no effect. Maybe I just canât listen to arena  rock in a quarantine context, but I canât even imagine this making much of a fuss in a packed stadium without desperately needing tweaks in the songwriting and especially the production, because this just sounds stunted. Itâs telling that Grohl made his best tracks as the Foo Fighters on his own and those first two records, alongside a pretty decent 2014 comeback in the form of Sonic Highways, are still great. Iâm not denying that Grohl can write a good song, or that the Food Figures canât play, because theyâre all talented guys. This is just one album in many that leaves me with the feeling that these guys just canât do much more outside of their comfort zone than fail miserably. These songs wonât stick around, and thank God for that.
#50 â âBelieve Meâ â Navos
Produced by Tom Demac and Navos
Another week, another... okay, but we already had a generic pop-infused deep house track from a couple EDM randos, do we really need another? Okay, well, this one is even less interesting than Imanbekâs effort as it doesnât even try for a verse, instead going for a deep house groove Iâve heard countless times before, drowned out by some square synths and, yes, you guessed it, 90s piano loops and an uncredited female vocalist repeating basically the same couple lines over and over. This is made for the clubs, but I feel like even regular club-goers would tire of this vocaloid drop and cloudy production two minutes in. Thereâs nothing worth discussing here, because this probably took as many minutes to make as it did to listen to. I have no idea why Navos debuts a song so high, but Iâve got to assume TikTokâs to blame. Apparently this guy makes tech house, whereâd any of that skill or intrigue go here?
#21 â âUpâ â Cardi B
Produced by Sean Island, DJ SwanQo and Yung Dza
Anyone else surprised at how such a big name gets production from people Iâve never heard of before? Not that it matters, itâs just odd. Anyways, this is Cardiâs new single, presumably from that ever-elusive second album, debuting around 20 spots lower than it will in the US, and itâs going for a more gangsta-rap content than the hyper-sexual âWAPâ, but does she keep the same energy? Well, yes... in fact, after all the mediocrity, Iâm glad to have a genuinely great song debut this week. This is a great, bass-heavy beat that gives a Memphis phonk feel in the dark keys as well as the hard-hitting 808s and spacey percs and sound effects that add some needed distortion, even if thereâs going to be some brief clipping along the way. Cardi brings some necessary energy from the brilliant opening lyrics and continues with a fast-paced, chanting flow that accentuates some of her funnier lyrics with her charisma that she always brings to a trap track like this. Iâd say that this is maybe too repetitive â with very little of the verses to speak of â or even somewhat derivative of her previous song, âMoneyâ, but thereâs a lot better lyrical content in this one, not to mention how well she complements a more straight-forward but still killer beat. Oh, yeah, and Cardiâs stacks are Shaq-height as she dismisses haters with an impressive level of swagger and confidence, that carries the refrain, but thatâs not to say the lyrics arenât really great in the verses. Thereâs genuinely funny and sexy wordplay here, especially in the second verse, and also some great liners: âhoes speakinâ cap-aneseâ, accusing her haters of having pink-eye and their breath smelling like âhorse sexâ. This is a short, probably underdeveloped song, but itâs the type of surreal, high-energy trap I kind of really love and I hope this sticks around further in the UK.
#19 â âLatest Trendsâ â A1 x J1
Produced by ShoBeatz
A1 x J1 are a British rap duo with no other songs. Yeah, somethingâs fishy here: this is their only song on Spotify that blew up from a 15-second clip on TikTok, and their Spotify bio is trying to decide whether theyâre the next D-Block Europe or the Beatles, as well as really emphasising how the song grew âall organicallyâ, even though theyâre already signed to Universal... yeah, thereâs nothing subtle here, so I wonât buy this TikTok fame schtick, but does it matter when the song is good? Well, not really, and honestly, Iâm kind of into this guitar-based drill-R&B fusion in the beat, but it doesnât really help the fact that J1âs Stormzy impression is janky and unconvincing, especially if heâs going to try for some shallow wordplay, and that A1âs Auto-Tuned croon is just boring, reminding me a lot of A Boogie wit da Hoodie, but with a less recognisable voice and delivery, even if the first verse contains a funny line about a woman making that ass clap âfor the NHSâ, although he totally took that from Swarmz anyway. Yeah, Iâm not a fan of this fake attempt at an organic pop-drill crossover, but unfortunately, I can very much see this working, though Iâd be happy if the British public will see through this dishonesty as soon as possible.
#5 â âBringing it Backâ â Digga D and AJ Tracey
Produced by TheElements and AoD
Now for a rap duo that makes more sense to debut this high and are actually, you know, separately successful rappers, therefore they debut in the top five, which is impressive. The whole concept of this song is that Digga D and AJ Tracey are using old flows, those that would be nostalgic to their deeper fan base, to spit bars on a new track called, fittingly âBringing it Backâ. The flow AJ Tracey brings back is from his overlong âPackagesâ freestyle, a five-minute track from 2016, that works more as a freestyle than it does as a song, where he uses a familiar UK drill flow to go off for a really long time, and, yes, it is pretty impressive but the flow becomes stale too quickly. Digga D uses his flow from his âNext Up?â freestyle from 2017, a similarly badly-mixed UK drill freestyle but with a much more palatable length. Digga Dâs flow he uses in that track is arguably slicker but honestly one that I see used a lot in UK drill and by Digga D, so Iâm not sure itâs not worth âbringing it backâ when you could come up with a new, catchier flow. Iâll admit that âBringing it Backâ, however, is a pretty damn good song, with Digga Dâs more technical and fluid flow allowing for a lot more intricate internal rhymes that sound really great over the triumphant, string-heavy drill beat, as he trades bars with AJ Traceyâs slower but more confident, laid-back flow, which allows him to spit some more specific, interesting bars, some of which really hit, like when he says he âlocked up the food for the kids like Boris and then I let it go like Rashfordâ. Hey, I respect it, I havenât heard a more clever way of intertwining political commentary with cocaine smuggling since Pusha T last released a record. The way AJ Tracey and Digga D play off of each otherâs lines is really smooth, and especially how Digga D plays with the beat, as while his lyrics may be less interesting, they mash perfectly with the beatâs frantic fades in and out, especially in his last lines before the first chorus, where he asks for the track to literally be turned off... and it is. So, yeah, Iâm pretty damn happy with this debuting so high off the energy alone, even if Digga D is going to pronounce âLOLâ like a one-syllable word. Iâd say this is actually a really good starting point for people who want to get into more UK drill because it has a lot of the grit and menace of the genre in a more accessible, catchy form, even if it may run a bit too long for my taste.
Conclusion
Wow, what a weird, weird week... and a lot of it was straight garbage. Iâm giving Best of the Week to âUpâ by Cardi B, with an Honourable Mention to Digga D and AJ Tracey for âBringing it Backâ, though Worst of the Week is pretty much a toss-up. Iâll give it to the Foo Fighters for âWaiting on a Warâ, with a Dishonourable Mention tied between âAstronaut in the Oceanâ by Masked Wolf and âBelieve Meâ by Navos for just both being worthless. Anyways, hereâs our top 10:
The UK Singles Chart is honestly kind of chaotic right now â even more so than usual â and I donât see that changing. Even if I donât like all of the songs, itâs at least compelling. Anyways, thank you for reading and you can follow me @cactusinthebank on Twitter if you want. I canât really make any predictions for next week other than Taylor Swift re-recording her own music and I guess some impact from Rita Ora and Imanbek, or hopefully, slowthai. Regardless of what happens, Iâll see you next week!

Live Ledge #299: Skiffle
Last year, Billy Bragg and Joe Henry put out a charming album of covers called âShine a Lightâ. To record this record, they boarded a train in Chicago and headed to L.A. On the way they recorded a bunch of train songs at various stops on the trip. Sometimes in train station waiting rooms. Sometimes at trackside. A song or two was even recorded in the very same hotel room that Robert Johnson recorded his legendary tunes.
One of the songs they recorded - âRock Island Lineâ, one of the most important songs in British music history. A few weeks ago, a new book by Bragg called Roots, Radicals, and Rockers: How Skiffle Changed the World tells the story of âRock Island Lineâ and everything that resulted from its release.
Weâve always been led to believe that British R&R began with the Beatles, Stones, etc, and they were influenced by Chuck Berry and American blues. Those influences arenât entirely wrong, but the Big Bang actually happened a few years earlier with Skiffle. Charlie Watts, Mick jagger, and Bill Wyman of the Stones were in skiffle bands, as were Ian MacLagan of the Small Faces, Dave Davies of the Kinks, Graham Nash and Allan Clarke of the Hollies, Roger Daltrey first formed the Detours as a skiffle band before they became the Who. Jimmy Pageâs first TV appearance was with his skiffle band. Even in the 70âs - Ian Hunter, Rod Stewart, Ron Wood, Dr. Feelgood, Van Morrison all played skiffle. And not to mention the Quarrymen, who of course turned into the Beatles.
To understand skiffle, you have to keep in mind that in the 50âs the British music industry catered exclusively to adults. The BBC had no TV or radio programming for teens. Even after skiffle arrived they did everything they could to eliminate it.
Skiffleâs beginnings, though, were in American ragtime music. Ken Colyer was so fascinated by jazz that he joined the British navy just to be able to visit America and watch jazz bands. He ended up being deported, though, via the Red Scare-inspired McCarran/Walter Act because he had the audacity to sit in with black musicians in New Orleans.
He went back to the UK and started a trad jazz band, the Ken Colyer All-Stars. Chris Barber and Alexis Korner were part of this band, and anybody who knows the early history of the Stones recognizes those names. To fill up time, they used to have intervals in their shows where a couple of musicians would do these little folk/blues breakdown sets that included Leadbelly songs. One of these musicians was Lonnie Donegan, and to fill time on their first record they recorded a couple of these tunes. One of them was âRock Island Lineâ.
A year or so later, âRock Island Lineâ suddenly became a hit. A huge hit. It was the first time a song led by guitar hit the charts. Previously the guitar had been an accessory that was barely heard. Now kids all over the UK were seeing this instrument used in a frenetic, aggressive manner and they were hooked.
You only needed to know a couple of chords, and the rest of the instrumentation came from standup bass, washboards, maybe a banjo or violin. A teen market was instantly created. There were so many bands that Promoters discovered they could sell hundreds of tickets to âbattle of the bandsâ type shows.
Of course it didnât last long. The trad crowd moved on to folk and blues. Record companies took back their power just as they did in the US by creating cleaned-up teen idols who did what the labels wanted.
Tonight's show includes some of the precursors to skiffle, and concludes with some of the great British rock that came as skiffle died away. Bragg's book is really great, by the way, and is definitely worth reading. You can find a copy HERE!!! Â
