#deford Bailey

[julianslifeandlove]

Its Black History Month and Country Music is part of our roots. So in honor of Beyoncé dropping country. Here is some Black History Country Facts from Ourblkstories follow them on Tiktok.

[ylojgtr]

ooh this is perfect! i can tell you all about revolutionary harmonica players!! i will give neil a little credit since he introduced me and im sure many other harmonicists to the instrument, but i assure you there are SO many better players out there

definitely gotta check out deford bailey (pronounced dee-ford). he was a master at and greatly popularized the train imitation and fox chase styles (<this video has flickering for some reason just fyi) and is largely responsible for country harmonica, being a founding member of the grand ol opry

little walter is obviously a must. his approach to the instrument, melodic, dirty and presice, set the standard for chicago blues playing. while he probably wasn't the first to do it, he certainly popularized the use of a microphone while playing which helped the harmonica stay relevant in the age of electric instruments and added a unique distorted tone

sonny terry is also blues, but a very different style. he used a lot of chordal rhythms for accompaniment and really was the first person to play anything like what he did, it's kinda hard to explain

all three of those guys influenced charlie mccoy, one of the most recorded session musicians in history and sort of the pioneer of country and bluegrass harmonica.

there's a direct lineage from mccoy to one of my personal favourite players, jason ricci (solo @1:48), whose mentor pat ramsey (solo @1:50) applied super-fast bluegrass style licks to blues. jason took it a step further, delving into punk, hard rock and funk with an extremely idiosyncratic style. (i had a hard time choosing which song to link but i think this one is a succinct, flashy example of an iconic era of his career. more are in the playlist!)

jason's style also makes heavy use of a technique called overbending, which is probably the most common way to play chromatic notes on a diatonic harmonica. typically, a harmonica is tuned to have only the notes of one major scale, which is why most players have different harmonicas in different keys. but it is possible to play some notes between the scale degrees by bending, which was pioneered by black american musicians before being widely recording, but there are still some notes that can't be played bent

that's where howard levy (solo @1:50 but you should watch the whole thing 😳) comes in (probably my favourite harmonica player ever). he was a jazz piano player before picking up harmonica and decided to start practicing scales on harp the same way he did piano. of course, not all the notes were there, but somehow in trying to bend a note that didn't bend he got a different sound. he ended up becoming the first person to really master this technique, finally bringing the diatonic harmonica into jazz and other more complex music.

last major suggestion, brendan power. his early influences include sonny terry and charlie mccoy but his style has become defined by his harmonica inventions. after learning that charlie mccoy tuned his harmonicas differently (there's a really cool story about how he started doing that) brendan set out to create the ultimate diatonic tuning, since standard tuning wasn't intended to be used in any of the stuff it's used in now, it just happens to work pretty well. but what if it worked PERFECTLY for whatever style you were playing? his most famous tunings include paddy richter (for irish music) powerdraw (for more ease of playing blues) and powerbender (my personal favourite that's great for everything from jazz to hard rock). he also invented half-valving, which i won't get into but basically gives you the ability to bend all notes in different ways, which works on diatonic and chromatic harmonicas. his work has really bridged the gap between the two instruments. he's also created double decker harmonicas, modular reed harmonicas, switchable octave harmonicas, extended range harmonicas and all sorts of harmonicas with extended expressiveness in about a hundred different ways. his playing is also exceptional. he's a very diverse but recognizable player capable of fitting in just about anywhere but you're always sure it's him when you hear that distinctive sound

so those are the main harmonica players id suggest. if you're looking for more id recommend will wilde (hard rock/metal player who uses his own tuning and WILL BLOW YOUR MIND), todd parrott (incredible bluegrass player who takes advantage of modern harmonica techniques in a traditional setting), carlos del junco (a blues/jazz/roots player with a very unique, technical style), jimmy reed (blues singer with a highly influential harmonica sound), joel andersson (innovative european folk player who uses many novel harmonica designs and is also a fantastic harmonica technician), p.t. gazell (western swing and jazz player who uses half-valved diatonics to get chromatic notes instead of overbends) and konstantin reinfeld (he really plays everything, from jazz to classical to hip hop to tango to bollywood music. all on diatonic harmonica)

here's a playlist with all the songs i linked and more! i hope other people will see this post too if there's one thing i can't stand it's harmonica ignorance

Like any person of culture, tonight I sought out a list of musical artists who revolutionized the usage of the humble harmonica. The list I found involved Neil Young's Heart of Gold.

Needless to say, I entered a berserker state.

This book is finally coming out in April. Some Black American country music history:

Alice Randall, award-winning professor, songwriter, and author with a “lively, engaging, and often wise” (The New York Times Book Review) voice, offers a lyrical, introspective, and unforgettable account of her past and her search for the first family of Black country music. Country music had brought Randall and her activist mother together and even gave Randall a singular distinction in American music history: she is the first Black woman to cowrite a number one country hit, Trisha Yearwood’s “XXX’s and OOO’s”. Randall found inspiration and comfort in the sounds and history of the first family of Black country music: DeFord Bailey, Lil Hardin, Ray Charles, Charley Pride, and Herb Jeffries who, together, made up a community of Black Americans rising through hard times to create simple beauty, true joy, and sometimes profound eccentricity. What emerges in My Black Country is a celebration of the most American of music genres and the radical joy in realizing the power of Black influence on American culture. As country music goes through a fresh renaissance today, with a new wave of Black artists enjoying success, My Black Country is the perfect gift for longtime country fans and a vibrant introduction to a new generation of listeners who previously were not invited to give the genre a chance.

She got one of my fav son house tracks in that little teaser of hers. we’ll see. won’t hold my breath.

Bluegrass, country blues, folk, outlaw, rockabilly. I wanna see elizabeth cotten & deford bailey inspo.

& if it weren’t for her bs in december playing her dumbass movie in that fake ass genocidal “country” i’d say she should play a concert at rikers but that’d be tacky, anyway. but someone has to do proletarian country and folk on a major level today.

Especially since that raytheon singerman dropped a couple weeks ago

still don’t like her anymore. but i will be 🌊 🌧️

actually let me fix a country playlist while i pack for this work trip abroad

Deford Bailey was the first African American to play at the Grand Ole Opry: there is a statue of him at the Grand Ole Opry. The roots of people of color in country music run very deep. The name cowboy came from Black Men who tended to cattle. The drums are an African Instrument. The guitar is also an African Instrument along with the banjo to. Slaves played country music at many of their gatherings: it helped to ease the pain of not being free. Out of the slaves playing country music came 1. Blues, 2. Folk Music, 3. Rock & Roll, 4. Modern Country Music.

The banjo was created in the 17th century by African slaves & then brought to USA via the West Indies. African slaves were the only people to play the banjo until the early 1840s.

Pamela Foster, author of, My Country: The African Diaspora's Country Music Heritage, credits African Americans with creating country music.

In the South, banjos, fiddles, & harmonicas were the dominant instruments played by African Americans writes Pamela in her book.

Black people brought country music to the USA via slavery: SO COUNTRY MUSIC IS In OUR "LANE." I consider myself a patriot as a disabled USA Navy Veteran: & I served in the military with honor. It is sad: that as a black woman I'm good enough to serve in the military & possibly get killed or become disabled: but BLACK WOMEN ARE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST IN COUNTRY MUSIC. IT IS EVEN WORSE: BECAUSE BLACK PEOPLE BROUGHT COUNTRY MUSIC TO THE USA VIA SLAVERY. YOU CAN NOT EVEN PLAY COUNTRY MUSIC WITHOUT THE 1. AFRICAN GUITAR, 2. AFRICAN DRUMS, 3. AFRICAN BANJO. BLACK PEOPLE LIKE 1. DEFORD BAILEY, 2. RUFUS TEETOT PAYNE, 3. LESLIE RIDDLE, 4. RAY CHARLES, 5. CHARLEY PRIDE, 6. LINDA MARTELL, 7. LAMELLE PRINCE ALL HELPED CONTRIBUTE TO COUNTRY MUSIC. THE TIME TO END RACISM AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE & ESPECIALLY BLACK WOMEN IN COUNTRY MUSIC. STOP THE HATE NOW!

Racists have a problem in country music not Beyoncé. Ignorant, uneducated people who think country music is ONLY old white guys, beer, & tractors.

The founders of country music were enslaved African Americans: who brought the 1. African Banjo, 2. African guitar, 3. African drums to the USA along with Native Hawaiian Joseph KeKUKu who invented the steel guitar another staple of country music.

Country music was founded & rooted in the Black community. Racist Minstrel shows renamed the country music black people created as “hillbilly music:" which whites appropiated the country music that black people created even though country music can't even be played without the African instruments of the guitar, banjo, & drums. Country music was brazenly & blatantly stolen from African American Culture, hymns, & African American Slave, field songs.

The term cowboy was a name originally given to black slaves: who herded cattle & would wear cowboy hats, jeans, boots, & attire as they herded cattle for slave masters. Black slaves invented country music: & BROUGHT COUNTRY MUSIC TO THE USA VIA SLAVERY. Black people invented country music, banjo, drums, & guitar. Lesley Riddle was a black man: that wrote & created many songs with the Carter Family. There is a statue of Deford Bailey a black man that contributed to country music immensely in front of the Grand Ole Opry. RAY CHARLES ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO COUNTRY MUSIC. Rufus Payne aka Teetot taught country music, country singing, & country guitar playing to Hank Williams, a part Native American & White country music artist: who was told not to acknowledge his Native American roots nor his lessons from Rufus Teetot Payne. Charley Pride is a country music legend. LaMelle Prince was the first black lady, country artist. Ignorant racists: who don't know country music was brought to USA by black slaves along with the: 1. African Banjo, 2. African guitar, & 3. African drums are the problem NOT BEYONCE!

New issue Modern Recording No.360 DeFord Bailey

[girltrashstl7]

Do not be so worried about people being "WOKE" THAT YOU FALL ASLEEP. GOD SAID "DO NOT COVET ANOTHER PERSON'S SPOUSE." GOD DID NOT SAY "PLEASE DO NOT COVET ANOTHER PERSON SPOUSE: BUT IF YOU DO HAPPE. TO SLEEP WITH A PORN STAR LIKE STORMY DANIELS: WHILE YOUR WIFE IS IN THE HOSPITAL GIVING BIRTH: BECAUSE YOU HAPPEN TO BE A SERIAL CHEATER: WHO NEVER PLANS TO BECOME A NEW CREATURE IN CHRIST. YOU INSTEAD PLAN TO BLASPHEME: HOLY SPIRIT, JESUS, & ME: JUST KEEP COMMITTING THE SAME ADULTRY SIN & JUST KEEP ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS: THAT IS OK. BECAUSE I DO NT REALLY MEAN WHAT I SAID: THAT IS WHY I ASKED NICELY & SAID PLEASE: BECAUSE LOYALTY & COMMITTMENT IS REALLY JUST AN OPTION. OH BYE THE WAY DO NOT USE ANY PROTECTION WHEN CHEATING ON YOUR SPOUSE: SO YOU CAN ALSO BRING HOME SOME DISEASES.

Charlene Smith BLACK PEOPLE INVENTED COUNTRY MUSIC: SO ALL BLACK PEOPLE ARE A LITTLE COUNTRY LIKE: DEFORD BAILEY, RUFUS "TEETOT" PAYNE, LESLEY RIDDLE, CHARLEY PRIDE, RAY CHARLES, LAMELLE PRINCE, LINDA MARTELL, POINTER SISTERS, LIONEL RICHIE ALL HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO COUNTRY MUSIC. BLACKS SLAVES BROUGHT: 1. GUITARS, 2. DRUMS, 3. BANJOS, 4. COUNTRY MUSIC TO USA FROM AFRICA: BUT RACISTS WHITE WASHED COUNTRY MUSIC & STOLE IT FROM BLACK PEOPLE LEARN YOUR DAMN HISTORY & YOU WOULD NOT EVER SAY ANY BLACK PERSON IS NOT ALLOWED TO PLAY THE COUNTRY MUSIC OUR ANCESTORS BROUGHT TO USA. TIRED OF RACIST. Republicans are re-writing the 10th commandment by complaining about Beyoncé version of Jolene. So the Bible the Republicans care so much about means NOTHING & GOD MEANS NOTHING TO THEM.

According to Megyn Kelly & all the MAGA FOLKS ON THE RIGHT GOD SHOULD HAVE SAID:

"PLEASE DO NOT COVET ANOTHER PERSON'S SPOUSE: BUT IF YOU DO HAVE UNPROTRCTED SEX WITH A BUNCH OF PORN STARS LIKE STORMY DANIELS OR PROSTITUTES: THAT IS OK BECAUSE I AM GIVING YOU LICENSE TO CHEAT CAUSE I REALLY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR FAMILY NOR DO I MEAN WHAT I SAY."

THE REAL COMMANDMENT SAYS:

You shall not covet your neighbor’s house . . . your neighbor’s spouse . . . nor anything that is your neighbor’s” (Exodus 20:17). The 10th Commandment.

Dolly Parton gave Beyonce permission to remake Jolene: so nobody should be complaining about it: especially Megyn Kelly who is on her second marriage: unless she wants her husband whoring around on her with a porn star like Stormy Daniel's. What is wrong with saying no I do not want my husband cheating on me: because I personally would have a problem with that. What idiot wants to give their spouse a "DONALD TRUMP UNPROTECTED, UNSAFE SEX, MAGA LICENSE TO CHEAT WITH PORN STARS & PROSTITUTES LIKE WHAT MEGYN KELLY IS DOING & SUGGESTING. DOLLY WAS POLITE PLEASE DON'T CHEAT BACK IN THE 1960'S WELL Beyoncé IS WORTH A BILLION DOLLARS SHE IS SAYING DON'T CHEAT PERIOD NO PLEASE IN THEIR CAUSE YOU & YOUR GIRLFRIEND GOING TO HAVE A BILLION DOLLAR PROBLEM.

Instead of saying please don't cheat Beyonce is saying DONT TRY IT: DONT CHEAT. I AINT GONNA STAND FOR IT. Dolly Parton gave Beyonce permission to remake Jolene: so nobody should be complaining about it: especially Megyn Kelly who is on her second marriage: unless she wants her husband whoring around on her with a porn star like Stormy Daniel's. What is wrong with saying no I do not want my husband cheating on me: because I personally would have a problem with that. What idiot wants to give their husband a license to CHEAT LIKE WHAT MEGYN KELLY IS DOING. IS THE RIGHT CONSERVATIVE FOLKS ALL WANT THE SPOUSES SLEEPING WITH PORN STARS & PROSTITUTES WITH NO CONDOMS: WHILE THEY BLINDLY TRUST THEIR MATES LIKE MELANIA TRUSTED DONALD TRUMP. DONALD TRUMP WAS BANGING A PORN STAR: WHEN MELANIA WAS GIVING BIRTH TO BARRON: WHAT IS WRONG WITH SAYING "CHEATING ON ME IS NOT OK." DO YOU WANT YOUR WIFE CHEATING ON YOU: ARE YOU GIVING YOUR WIFE A POLITE LICENSE TO CHEAT?
