Hello there,

First of all: sorry for the delay. I got stuck in the snow up in the Pyrenees. It´s pretty cold out there (as it is here in Barcelona at the moment). Inspirational enough though to put a good bunch of chillin´ records at the beginning of this show. The music itself is as hot as always, just like the rest of this episode of Struttin My Stuff which includes a tribute to R & B greats Etta James and Johnny Otis.
After all the excitement we leave you behind, under a beautiful and peaceful Winter Moon

Have fun with this show and see you later!

Hello there!

It´s a bluesy one, this Strutting My Stuff epìsode. Must be the season. And the theme of course. My baby left me, it must be the ultimate blues subject.

Anyway, a good opportunity - not that we need one - to play some Howlin Wolf stuff, with the great and alas late guitarplayer Hubert Sumlin. RIP.

For the rest of you, have fun with this show and see you next week at our Funky Christmas Party!

Hello there,

It´s pourin cats and dogs in Barcelona, and it´s a lot colder too. Time to put some extra fire in the Struttin My Stuff show. But titles apart, all the records on this show will warm your spirit and soul, in my humble opinion. As usual they come from all directions and styles and periods, from Dead Moon´s Hey Joe to Papa Harvey Hull´s France Blues and everthing in between. We even have some Pachelbel this time! Moanin and Groanin Radio goes classic.

Have fun with the show

Struttin My Stuff # 16 - A House Is Not A Home

Home Sweet Home

It´s Monday already...

so I hope all of you had a nice weekend.

I had a very good time with my family. Home Sweet Home indeed.
All those nice homely feelings make me start this weeks Struttin My Stuff show with some houses and homes songs. Needless to say they all fit perfectly in our usual mix of knowns and unknowns from Blues, R´n B, (Afro) Funk, Soul, Gospel and Much Much More.

Two of all these beauties stand out, at least for the little story behind them:

Guess who the organ player is on Doug Brown and the Omens Thank Goodness It´s Friday? Yes, it´s Bob Seger himself! Boss Doug later on became Seger´s producer. The man certainly knew his place.

A real unknown is Edward Ross, whose alter ego Little Buck didn´t get famous either. Ross was a member of New Orleans greats Huey Piano Smith and the Clowns though. His great Whisper My Name was backed with Little Boy Blue, which is actually the instrumental track of Eddie Bo´s Lover And A Friend. Producer and Seven B label owner Joe Banashak just added Ross´/Buck´s vocals.

Anyway, the record wasn´t what you can call a hit, but nowadays you pay a loooot of money for a copy. Strange world we´re living in.

Have fun with the show!

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!

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!

What´s the sound of a one legged horse?

No Moanin and Groanin Radio isn´t going Zen. We stick to our usual mix of gritty and wailing blues, soul, funk, gospel, ska, rockabilly, R&B, garage, zydeco and much more.

Next show will be all ready for you, next Saturday February 26 , 10 pm CET . Listen and/or to download and have fun!

Tune in!

TB Turpentine

And the sound of one legged horse? These guys called The Puta Madre Brothers (also known as the biggest one-man-band in the world) will let you hear it on Saturday.

Struttin My Stuff # 4 - Come On In And Do The Swing

Helllo again!

And welcome to our fourth Struttin My Stuff show. More than 80 minutes of gritty blues, deep soul, sixties and other garage, ska, hard funk, gospel, zydeco, afro- beat, fifties and sixties R&B and R&R ...

...you name it, we play it, as long as it has SOUL.

Busy folks we have this time: Georgie Fame is Monkeying Around, Big Joe Williams needs his Vitamine A Blues , Ella Washington is Starving For Love and Th´ Legendary Shack Shakers do the Bullfrog Blues.

In the meantime The Come Ons and The J. Geils Band play a Detroit-Boston match, while Peter Green and John Mayall are Out Of Reach ( talking of the Mayall family, we will play something of son Gaz his Rockin Records label one of the upcoming shows).

And, as promised last week, we have Barrelhouse, Tineke Schoemakers own band. There ain´t many Dutch female blues singers around and Tineke is by far the best. Listen to Oh Death, and you know what I mean.

Talking about the best. This week´s country tearjerker is Gram Parsons´ Return of The Grievous Angel. They don´t come any better than that!

Have fun with the show!
