Struttin My Stuff # 21 - Jailbirds

Ex-convict? Lucky bastard!

A very warm welcome to ya´ all , here´s Struttin My Stuff # 21, from the jailhouse this time.

Starting with an absolutely wild version of Jailhouse Rock by Dean Carter (real name: Arliee Neaville) with an out of this world solo on a 12 string dobro. In later years our man Dean just recorded gospel tunes and hymns, by the way.

The Mono Men from the US state of Washington follow, with their meaty garage instrumental Behind Bars, before with move up to Sweden for the ska tune Of Them Outta Jail by The Skalatons.

Things getting serious now folks, with people not only singing about prison, but actually being in it - at least at the time of recording. For the United States (about one in every 100 adults in the US are in jail at the moment!) there are two names which stands out when it comes to recording prisoners´ songs. One of them is, of course, Alan Lomax. We play two of his 1943 recordings ( by ´Alex´ and ´Jimson´) made in the prison .

The other jail recording master is Harry Oster. Largely unknown to the general public Oster´s work as a roots music researcher is just a valuable as Lomax´. Oster, to say just one thing, was the guy who discovered blues great Robert Pete Williams, in Louisiana´s Angola Prison in 1959. For an interesting article about Oster and his blues recordings, go to Big Road Blues blog. We will play some of Foster´s prison blues in a later show. But in this episode we stick to one of his other major achievements: Oster was actually one of the first who recorded the music of the Louisiana Acadians. From Oster´s 1959 lp The Folksongs Of The Louisiana Acadians we play Bee Deshotels´ beautiful Aux Natchitoches.

We have a new logo (thanks again, Daniel Pérez!) which features a Ruth Brown record sleeve. We never played much of Ruth records so far (in fact only I Don´t Know in show # 12, so here´s Ruth with the ballad Anyone But You.

When Ruth Brown is around, Lavern Baker is never far away. This time she´s here with Hey Memphis an adaption of Doc Pomus´ Little Sister, made famous by Elvis himself.
Both Brown´s and Baker´s record were produced for -Atlantic by Phil Spector. Talkin about jailbirds! Old Phil has to spent 19 years in prison because he shot actress Lana Clarkson. We´ll play a lot more Spector on next show, but for now: have fun!

Struttin My Stuff # 20 - The Devil Can´t Save Your Soul

Keep those sinners away!

Greetings to ya all!

The devil can´t save your soul and soul can´t save you from the devil. Soul can save you from God though: there have been numerous well known soul artists who started in gospel music. People like Little Johnny Taylor, OV Wright, Wilson Picket, Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson all began their careers singing the Lord´s music. Maybe the most discussed of them all is Sam Cooke, who in 1957 left The Soul Stirrers to become a R ´n´ B and pop star.

In the blues field those career moves have been less frequent, when it comes to big stars. Maybe the switch from God to the Devil is too big. I don´t know of any blues star who really had a earlier career as a gospel artist. (Yes, BB King sang in the gospel choir as a boy, but which blues artist did not start in church?) A lot of blues artists though, have recorded occasionally gospel numbers or have played and or recorded both, blues and spirituals, simultaneously.

For some (or a lot?) of them this dichotomy mirrored their private lives. A guy like Delta blues pioneer Charley Patton performed and wrote spirituals and preached in local churches. That didn´t keep him from drinking and partying, going through eight marriages and of having his throat cut by a jealous husband. No wonder Patton died at the early age of 43, because of heart problems. His last week on earth he spent in bed because of a bronchitis, all the time preaching from the Book of Revelations.Shortly before he died Patton went to New York for his last recording session. There he recorded his version of I Know My Time Ain´t Long which he retitled Oh Death. Death was well known to the singer since his early age. Patton was one of twelve children, seven of whom died before they could reach their teens. Quiet unusual, even for a poor black family in the Delta at the beginning of the 20th century.
You can hear Patton´s song on this Struttin My Stuff show, together with a gospel by another Delta blues hero, Johnny Shines, Do Like The Lord Say Do, plus spirituals performed by Chicago pianist Little Brother Montgomery and Sonny Terry with Brownie McGhee.

The eternal battle between God and Devil isn´t restricted to the blues of course. Rock and Roll made a lot of sinners too. Among htem good southern country boys like Jerry Lee Lewis. Anybody who his slightly familiar with the history of the Sun record label must have heard one time or another the religious discussion between Jerry Lewis and Sun boss Sam Phillips - part of it is today´s show intro. Lewis, brother in law of the not so innocent preacher Jimmy Taggart, recorded quiet a few gospel tunes for Sun. We play Night Train To Memphis, together with religious outings of Jerry Lee´s fellow Sun sinners Charley Rich and Sonny Burgess.

Sinner´s or saints, the artists on a Struttin My Stuff show have one thing in common: they all make music from the soul.

Have fun with the show!

Struttin My Stuff # 17 - Parlez Vous Français?

Parlez vous francais?

Salut Les Copains !
(or Hi Guys!)

We start this week with a little bit of a joke, meaning a French language Rock ´n Roll record from before 1959. Which is not only the birth year of yours truly, but also the year when Salut Les Copains was born, the first serious French Rock and Roll radio show, broadcasted by the station Europe 1.

The French (language) Rock ´n´ Roll made before that time? Well, take for instance Rock ´n´Roll Mops from 1956. Considered to be the first French Rock ´n Roll recording, it was written by Boris Vian and Michael Legrand. Both were and still are more known for their novels (Vian) and film scores (Legrand), than for their R´n´R credibility.

To make things worse, the song was sung, under the name Henry Cording (recording, you get it?) by singer/actor Henri Salvador, who never got tired of saying that he hated Rock ´n Roll.

IN 1957 Rock ´n Roll Mops was redone in an slightly better version by Dutchman Ferdinand Heinrick Barendse. During the 40´s Barendse played trumpet in the jazz orchestra The Ramblers, before he started playing stuff like the charleston in the Belgian casinos, with his own dance orchestra. Not your vintage Rock ´n´ Roller this Ferdinand, despite his posing as Ferry ´Rock´ Barendse.

Anyway, Barendse sang his would- be Rock ´n´ Roll with a sort of Louis Amstrong voice, which makes his records at least amusing. Listen to his T´as L´bonhour d´Alfred´ and have a laugh.

Other than that, nothing but quality stuff on this show folks, French and non French. And with an extra shot of African stuff this time.

Amusez-vous avec le spectacle!

Struttin My Stuff # 15 - It´s Windy Out There

Esquerita: Close the window please!

A very fine first of May to you all!

First I have to make clear that I already had prepared this Struttin My Stuff show when I heard what had happened to the good people of Alabama and other southern US states.

So yes, we´re starting with some stormy tunes, although Little Esther and Eva Cassidy are keeping things low tempo. Lots of heavy weather later on in the show too. Take Fela Kuti´s Roforofo Fight. That´s 15 minutes plus of the finest Afro-funk pouring down on you!
Or take blues man Byter Smith´s intense The man wants me dead. That stingin guitar and soaring voice will evoke a soul storm in your heart. And what about Little Richards main inspiror Esquerita. A 2 minute hailstorm.

That said, let this mix of Blues, black R´n B, Funk, Gospel, Garage and Much Much More brighten you day.

Have fun!

Strange Things indeed!

Greetings!

And welcome to number 13 of our weekly Struttin My Stuff show.

Actually, this weeks thing theme thing started as just an excuse to begin the show with a intro taken from one of the funniest movie scenes ever, the Big Shoot Out in Analyze This, and then throw in some ´thing songs´

Too many things indeed. And some things appear to be the same thing, but they are different things indeed.

There are even things which are the same thing, but boy do they sound different (Van Morrison´s and Barbara & The Brown´s version of Things Have Gone To Pieces).

So what the heck: let´s have a Thing show.

Struttin My Stuff # 10 - Jivin The Gospel

Sam Cooke: Jesus Gave Me Water

Hello there!

Our 10th Struttin My Stuff show. To celebrate this small wonder we have Gods own Hip Messiah Lord Buckley to warm you up for some jiving gospel tunes. Among them Jesus Gave Me Water, in my opinion one of the very best recordings Sam Cooke did with the Soul Stirrers, together with Touch the Hem of His Garment and Were You There?

We switch to more worldly affairs after that with Helen Smith and You Gotta Have A Man. I don´t know who wrote this song, but he or she must have already been dead when Prince released his Kiss. Otherwise: were was the courtcase? ´Prince must have been inspired by this song´, somebody wrote on the fan community sitePrince.org. Inspired? He bloody stole the song!
If you want a better version of You Gotta Have A Man, listen to the one done by Frank Williams and the Rocketeers. In fact I think it´s the same instrumental track, but Franks vocals are a lot grittier/more exciting than Helens. We´ll play Franks version some other time, that´s for sure.

Talking bout different versions. The Come See About Me by Don Covay we play on this show isn´t the usual one with strings and female choir. This one comes from Dons 1965 See Saw lp. It´s a different recording, in a slightly lower tempo and with Don singing in a more relaxed manner. I prefer the single version (it has a lot more ´swing´) but I thought it might be interesting to play this one for a chance. Apart from that: you can´t go wrong with Don Covay!

You can´t go wrong with any of the songs on this show, if you ask me. It´s all good stuff with lots of grit and soul. But ak me for my personal fav, and I say ´Freddie King´. Listen to this version of Have You Ever Loved A Woman? and you know what real soul is all about.

Have fun!

Billy Jones + Billy Jones + miX&dorp

Hello there!

TB Turpentine here.

No worries. No mathematics classes on MOANIN and GROANIN Radio. It´s just a way to introduce some artists we´ll play on this week´s Struttin My Stuff show ( Saturday March 12 around 10 pm CET).

It´s a Dutch affair. The two Billy Jones we mentioned in the title of this post have both connections with Holland. And the guy behind miX&dorp not only is Dutch, he also runs the label Billy Jones number 2 is recording for. Apart from that, he used Billy´s music to make his own record.

But to keep things fairly simple, let´s start with Billy Jones number 1. This Billy is from Texas, but settled down in Amsterdam, after serving in the US-forces in Germany. In Holland he got a job as a singer for the best known soulband in Holland during the 60´s and 70´s, the Dutch/Surinam Oscar Harris & The Twinkle Stars.

Billy Jones spent the rest of his life in Holland, were he died in 1982 while playing basketball with some friends. In the meantime he had recorded quiet a few records, both with Oscar Harris and as a solo artist. Only one of his solo efforts was sort of a hit though: His very first single, All My Brothers Are Clean - which we will play on the show this Saturday - got to number 33 in the Dutch top 40.

Billy Jones 2 (Arkansas, USA) isn´t a big hitmaker either, but this Billy is alive and kicking. More than that, the man can sing, plays a mean guitar and knows how to write a song. If that´s not enough, Billy Jones has a vision. Read this interview with him on the All About Jazz site and you know what I mean.

Billy Jones makes a serious effort to make the blues - bluez he calls his music- as relevant for young urban people in the US as was Muddy Waters´s music in the Chicago of the fifties. Lucky enough for the rest of us he comes up with Soul Music with an universal appeal - just as Muddy´s best music had.

The blues has been declared death a couple of times the last 40 years of so. People like Billy Jones proof that the blues is alive and will stay alive the next 40 years and probably much longer than that.

Jones´ label boss Jan Mittendorp in the meantime, is taking things even one step further. Posing as miX&dorp he reworks existing tracks of his own label´s artists (apart from Billy Jones also Boo Boo Davis, among others).

In his own words: ´miX&dorp blasts new life into the style by blending modern beats and blasts from the future into existing tracks for a fresh sound that makes the rhythmic heart of the blues beat stronger than ever.´

Nothing to add to that, apart from: recycling never sounded so good!

See you this Saturday March 12 around 10 pm CET for these and many more gritty and wailing sounds. Not only from Holland of course, but from all over the place.

As long as it makes me dance, laugh, cry, jump or shout!

Tune in!

TB Turpentine

The judgement falls on mankind...

...when the trumpet sounds the call.

What´s this? Hell and brimstone in the Struttin in My Stuff Show on MOANIN and GROANIN Radio?
Yes, we do like our Reverends here, spreading the good news. But this time it´s the Hollies. Of all people you might say, indeed. And the news isn´t too bad, either, according to the lyrics:

Well one day soon all men will stand
His words will be heeded in all the land
Men shall know and men shall see
We all are brothers and we all are free

Love and peace, so to speak. No wonder. Look how innocent almost angelic they look in the picture below.

Anyway, we´ll play The Last Judgement Day on this week´s show. From the 1965 this beauty.
The show starts off with some killer stompers from 1964 by the way.
So don´t be late and tune in. This Saturday 5 March, 10 pm. CET. Listen and/or download and have fun!
