Hello there,

It´s been a while (again). I got the flue with lots of fever. High temperature indeed. Like this episode of Struttin My Stuff. Hot, sexy and yes, sometimes plain sleazy and pornographic. Thrown in between all this excitement are tracks taken from the cd Dirty Fanmail - Genuine Letters Written To Porn Stars.

Filthy? Yes. Disturbing? Mwah. Hilarious? Very Hilarious!

Have fun with this one!

Struttin My Stuff # 22 - He´s A Rebel

When Phil was still popular with the girls...

Good day to you all and welcome to Struttin My Stuff # 22!

Like I promised last week, we kick off with a bunch of Phil Spector tunes. Apart from that we have loads of blues, some tough R ´n´ B ladies, great Afro- Funk, a few US Soul Brothers, Belgian Soul Brother Jacques Brel and - among more - a fantastic live version of the Ethiopian classic Tzeta by the Either/Orchestra. (We played

Bezawork Asfews version last week.) Called Soul Tezeta here, the first few seconds - before the singing starts- you would bet your life on it that you´re listening to a Van Morrison live-show from the late nineties or so.

Anyway, last show ´till september, this one. Time for a summer break. Time for updating and revising the show playlists and The Never Ending Playlist - yes, we´ve been sloppy in this field, lately. Time also to think about new shows for the second part of the year, maybe put some video´s on our You Tube channel, solve technical problems et cetera et cetera. We might even have some time for a little holiday.

For now, In the words of what might be our show outro: see you later!

Struttin My Stuff # 19 - Soul Got Reggae

A very warm welcome to ya all!

Temperature is rising to thirty degrees Celsisus here in Barcelona, so what about some tropical sounds in this Struttin My Stuff show? This time around it´s Jamaicanized versions of American soul classics. A quick look at what we offer:

* Gimme some more is a version of the JBs tune. Done in 1972 by a unknown studio band.
* A year later Sidney, George & Jackie (aka The Pioneers) did a killer version of the killer Papa Was A Rolling Stone by the Temptations.

* Movin up in time, in 1975 we find the unknown Carl Bradney with a fine version of War´s anti ghetto violence anthem Slipping Into Darkness.

*The history of Jamaican music would different without Curtis Mayfield. The Impressions´ Gypsy Woman -as a lot of other Mayfield songs - was covered by several Jamaican artists. This version by Milton Henry might be the best.

* Is It Because I´m Black? was first released by soul/blues man Syl Johnson on the Twilight label in 1968. Ken Boothe´s great version was a a single in Jamaica, before it ended up - with added horns - on his 1973 album Let´s Get It On.

* OK, nothing beats Otis and Aretha´s versions of Respect, but it´s nice to hear Norma Fraser´s ´lighter´ rendention.

*Last record of the show is Prince Buster´s 1966 version of James Carr´s Dark End Of The Street.

We have the man himself on the show too, together will other soul greats like the Bar Keys and Wilson Picket, plus plenty of other goodies form various fields, going from the springy cumbia made by Peru´s Los Sander´s de Nana to (talking about great covers!) Ike And Tina Turner doing an incredible I Smell Trouble, which must have made Bobby Blue Bland groaning out of sheer delight.

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 # 8 - Who Put The Whiskey In The Well?

Happy Saint Patrick´s Day!

Before we all start drinking, first some short notes on the state of Paddy, The Irish Rover (1).
What went wrong with his beautiful Green Island (2) in the Atlantic?
A paradise on earth is was once. A place were Paddy used to sing I´m Diggin My Potatoes (29).
Where he loved his Green Onions (5) and, above all, his Greenbacks (8).
But nowadays all Paddy sings is I´m Broke (20), Honey Where´s The Money Gone (3) and I´m Hungry(13).
That Stuff They Call Money (10), it´s all gone! Paddy is Living In Depression (9).
He´s feeling Heavy Heavy Heavy (7), he´s got the Bankers Blues (28).
Open the Door (22) , he yells in vain in front of any bank.
Paddy is Blue And Lonesome (16).
Didn´t it Rain (26) that hard, Paddy wouldn´t feel so bad. But in Ireland, When It Rains It Pours (24).
Hungry and Thirsty (12), our man enters the pub.
Hey Bartender (17), he says, and ten seconds later: There Stands The Glass (19).
Paddy drinks his Quiet Whiskey (11).
Five or six drinks later, Paddy feels like a Whiskey Headed Man (21).
I´m Leaving (18), he thinks.
Two hours later, he is still there. The only thing that pours now, is the liquor.
Streams Of Whiskey (15) are flowing through Paddy´s body.
And of course, being Irish, he starts singing a song.
That Woman Got Me Drinking (30), Patty moans,
blaming the girl with A Pair Of Brown Eyes (27) he met the other day.
Soon the whole drunken pub crowd joins in Patty´s Lament (23).
Wine, Whiskey and Women (6) it is for the rest for the day.
Everbody´s heading for a severe case of Intoxica (14).
Tomorrow they all will feel Sick, Sober and Sorry (25).
And the only question left will be: Who Threw The Whiskey In The Well? (31)
But that´s tomorrow. For now let´s all rise for God Save Ireland (32)!

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!

Struttin My Stuff # 6 - It´s 1964

Hello there again!

Welcome for a new shot of gritty blues, funky stuff, deep gospel and soul, black and white R& R and R& B and much more.

Starter this week is Zoot Money with one of my fav dance tunes ,The Uncle Willie.
Firt time I heard the name Zoot Money was when the late great Kevin Coyne introduced Zoot on his live album In Living Black and White (Virgin, 1976). `Zoot Money, ladies and gentlemen!, followed by Zoot doing, if I´m not mistaking, a sort of jazzy solo on his electric piano.
Only many years later I discovered that our man was responsible for some of the most exciting British R &B of the sixties. And just a few weeks ago I found out that Zoot´s Uncle Willie isn´t the only one, when that daredevil Derek came with The Daylighters version on his Daily 45 blog. Also from 1964.
And in the comments somebody mentioned the version by Brian Poole and The Tremeloes from 1965. Both The Daylighters´ and Brian Poole´s ´Uncle´ we will play sometime in the future, but for know we stick to our favorite Uncle, which is Zoot´s.

Another unsung heroe of British R &B on the show is harmoncia player Cyril Davies, with one of his latest efforts, Country Line Special .
Although, unsung. The guy died in 1964 (we have something with that year this show, apparently) and he is still getting tribute shows. Or is there something like a Cyril Davies revival?
Anyway, check out this Cyril Davies website and watch Mick Jagger telling about how he never actually saw somebody play a harmonica before he went as a 17-year old to a Cyril Davies concert. Yes, that´s the same guy who only a few years later was playing with legends like Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf!

Talking about legends. This week show has plenty of them, with names like Ray Charles, Bobby Blue Bland, Allan Toussaint and James Brown.

But did you ever hear of DM Bob & The Deficits? That DM stands for Deutschmark Bob. Bob though, comes from Louisiana, he only lives in Hamburg. Furthermore, Bob is a painter and he makes records with his Deficits for the Austrian Voodoo Rhytm label. Bob also performs this week country jerker.

Quite a guy, that Bob.

Have fun with the show!

Struttin My Stuff # 5 Playlist and Download

Hello folks,

While Deejay Wheelie finds out what is the best music in the world on BBC television, we´re playing it.

Yes folks, it´s another show full of moanin and groanin music to sooth your soul and make you jump and shout.

Let´s have a quick look what we have this time. Just to name a few:

Little Bessie and Pearline Caeser with some great R&B shuffles, made for the Amy label.
Then we´ve Ronnie Wood, doing a raunchier version of Black Limousine than the Stones ever did.

Also on the show: Jimi Hendrix himself. This time with his first ever (or almost, the experts don´t agree on this one) studio recording, spicing up Rosa Lee Brooks´ My Diary. (First known Arthur Lee composition, by the way)

Talking about great guitar players: I always wondered who played that stingin´ guitar on my favourite Eldridge Holmes tune, the scorching blues Cheatin Woman. I never bothered to look it up ´till now - enjoying the music too much- but it is Leo Nocentelli of The Meters. (Funk and soul professors like Larry Grogan of the Funky16Corners blog and Sir Shambling know these kind of things.). One reason more to sign this petition to get The Meters in the Rock ´n Roll Hall Of Fame!

To continue ´this guitar talk´: ever heard of Tore Elgaroy? A great gritty and soulful guitarist from Norway who plays a star role on Lee Clayton´s 1989 Another Night album (and apparently after that disappeared from the music scene for years).

Check the record out for yourself though, because we play the only not guitar- heavy track on the album, the tearjerker A Little Cocaine .

Which brings me tot the last name I will mention: George Jackson. His I Don´t Need You No More brings tears to your eyes. At least to mine. Recorded in 1976 but in my opinion just as good and deep as any sixties southern soul classic.

Have fun with the show! (But be careful, ´cause it starts with a bang.)
