4 BLUES NEWS September 2013

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone, (expletive deleted). It makes me laugh now to think of that statement but at the time, Jim Rosen was dying from cancer and that was the message that a number of his friends heard followed by the loud, gruff laugh that all of them had come to know through the years. Rosen knew that his time was short but by all accounts, he lived his last two years like he had lived the previous 40 – grabbing life by the balls, swinging it around and letting the chips fall where they may. This is an account of the man and that life. Born February 16, 1956 to Al and Jesse Rosen, Jim Rosen was the middle of three sons in the family. Marty was the older and Pete the younger brother. Due to a number of factors, his was not the typical middle class upbringing of the times. The family moved around considerably, traversing the country to places like Detroit and Iowa and back to Louisville, depending on the situation at the time. Al and Jesse eventually divorced in

1968. Shortly afterwards, Al married Idell Bizer. The Rosens moved to Indiana and became a blended family, with the three boys now having 5 other siblings. It was during this time that Rosen began to hear the music that would shape his career. His dad insisted that they listen to lots of music and not just listen, but learn about it. This was the first entryway for Jim into the music that would become his forte. There was lots of jazz and some blues in Al's record collection; recordings by the likes of Charlie Parker, Thelonius Monk, John Coltrane and Illinois Jacquet were played as the family sat around the table. Al also owned Joe's Palm Room at one time, so Jim was able to hear jazz first hand; many of the artists stayed at the Rosen house. Later on, when he became an accom-plished harmonica player, it was obvious the influence these greats had on his playing. It was right after Jim moved to Indiana that he met his life-long friend Phil Haas, when they both were in trouble in middle school. Jim had been placed out in the hall at a desk due to some infraction and Haas was down the hall in the same situation. They struck up a conversation that Haas says felt like they'd known each other forever. It became one of those friendships where oftentimes it wasn't necessary to say anything because the facial expressions or nods said it all. There were many days and nights spent together. Jim played his first harmonica when he was fifteen. Older brother Marty worried that Jim might be heading down the wrong path, involved in drugs and drinking. One day, he was in a pawn shop and decided that Jim needed something other than the street to occupy his time, so Marty bought him a Marine Band harmonica. Jim immediately began learning all he could about the instrument, even taking the time to read the instruction sheet that came with it. Haas remembers that was it for Jim. He spent all of his time listening to his father's records and playing the harp trying to match the sounds he heard. Haas relayed the story that he, Jim and Piney Woods spent a lot of time riding around at night in an old VW, listening to the rock and roll of the early 70's, to artists like Clapton and Led Zeppelin. Jim would be in the back seat, trying to play along with the songs and the others would keep telling him to stop that whiny sound! Both Woods and Haas say it was also around this time that Jim really began to dig into blues music. He would spend countless hours practicing on the harp. He would call up Piney and they would sit around playing the blues as a duet. Woods, a well-known musician and DJ from Bloomington, Indiana credits Rosen with teaching him all about the blues and also with pushing him in the right musical direction. But music wasn't the only thing that interested Rosen. When he wasn't practicing or listening to records, you could find him reading Louis L'Amour novels and watching old westerns on television. He also played football at Jeff High as a sophomore and was class president that same year. By this time Rosen had let his hair grow long and had a beard (it's been said that he could grow a beard at 14, the only guy at JHS that could). He was even referred to as Jesus because of his hair and beard. Once he graduated, Rosen got a job and continued to play the harp. During this time, Jim wasn't in a band so he would venture over to Louisville down to Washington Street to sit in with any number of bands, including Quickdraw and Red Beans and Rice. He spent the next several years honing his craft and started to make a name for himself as a bona fide harp player. As the years went by, Rosen continued to get further into the blues and in particular, Muddy Waters and Charlie Musselwhite. Rosen sat in with Lonnie Mack when he opened for Stevie Ray Vaughan in 1983 at The Stage. There was talk among his friends of him joining Mack's band but that never came about. Sometime around 1987, the late Ricky Mason told guitarist John Burgard about this harmonica player in town that he had to hear. They went to hear Rosen play at a blues jam and ended up asking him to join The Bluebirds, which was his first blues band. This incarnation of The Bluebirds lasted about a year. There were some issues among members and Jim decided to leave the band. It was during these years that the blues revival was going on big time in the country and, in particular, here in Louisville. Scott Mullins was one of the movers and shakers in that era of the blues as a DJ and promoter. I spoke to Scott at length about Rosen.

“You’re Gonna Miss Me When I’m Gone” The Life and Times of Jim Rosen

5 BLUES NEWS September 2013

"Bigger than life" was how Mullins responded when asked what he remembered about Jim. He felt that Rosen played a huge part in the blues scene in those years. One of the best parts of those years for Mullins was watching Rosen grow as a harp player. "He was tremendous. He mastered that instrument and I would include him as one of the best I've ever heard. He rum-bled like a freight train and then could bring it down with such a subtle fluidity." When asked to describe Rosen the person, Mul-lins was quick to say that he was a great guy. He could always be counted on to perform at benefits, sit in at blues jams and do whatever he could to help Mullins out. Not long after breaking away from The Bluebirds Jim Rosen became a member of da Mudcats, one of the premier blues bands of that era. "Play it like you live it!" Jim Rosen's longtime bandmate in daMudcats Blues Band, Rob Pickett, can still hear Rosen holler that at him on stage. trying to push him to greater heights when the band was playing gigs. Pickett and Gene Wickliffe, the two players from the Rosen era who are still playing in da Mudcats fondly remember a man who was driven to make the band the best in the city. And it was. If you asked most people who were familiar with the blues and overall music scene in Louisville at that time, they would tell you that daMudcats were the best band around and that Jim Rosen was the number one reason why. He was absolutely a virtuoso on the blues harp. He could play anything from the real Chicago blues to a hard rocking song to a beautiful romantic ballad all the while adding that touch of jazz improvisation that he learned early on in his musical upbringing. As great as his harp playing was, it was the charisma that oozed from his pores that many of us remember. Burly, raspy-voiced, long dark curly hair and a laugh that could go on for days, Rosen culled friendships with people from all walks of life. He could converse with doctors, lawyers and regular folk. Didn't matter who you were. Susan O'Neil, longtime singer with daMudcats, puts it in very simple terms. "Jim Rosen had the IT factor." O'Neal became visi-bly emotional reminiscing about her long-time friend. To those who were not close with Jim Rosen, he could seem intimidating and brusque. O'Neal agreed that was the case but was quick to say that "he had such a large heart and if he was a friend, you would have a friend for life." At the end of all of the interviews I did for this story, I asked the question, what one thing about Rosen did the interviewee want people to know. They all had variations on the same answer. Jim Rosen was a misunderstood man who had a heart of gold, was a friend in the real sense of the word and was generous to a fault. It was Jim, Susan O'Neal and guitarist Andy Brauner who got together to form the daMudcats. Over the course of the next few months, different players came and went until they had a steady nucleus of Rosen, O'Neil, Wickliffe and Pickett. Eventually Larry Holt joined as the bass player. Through the next decade or so, they added three more bass players, a keyboardist and O'Neal left due to family obligations. The band's first gig was at a tailgating party at a University of Louisville football game at old Cardinal Stadium. O'Neil, Wickliffe and Pickett remember it well and not in a positive light. They were not to be deterred. They continued to hone their sound, play-ing every gig they could until eventually they became as good as it got in this city. I often wondered why they didn't try to branch out and possibly tour around the region and maybe nationally. Once I became friends with Jim, it seemed to me that he might be a little insecure about doing the road thing. Both Marty Rosen and Gene Wickliffe didn't feel that way. They both

thought it was the fact that unlike today, where the internet makes it easy to find places to play, Rosen didn't feel he could do it justice being the band man-ager and the harp player. Longtime friend Phil Haas shed a different light on it. In late 1989, Rosen married Kim Newton, his life's soulmate. Haas told me that the couple had decided to move to Chicago, New York or LA so that Rosen could try his luck at the big time. Tragically, Kim was killed in a car wreck just a couple months after they were married. After that, Rosen didn't have it in him to make that attempt. Rosen was devastated by Kim's death. He stopped playing for a couple weeks and at times he was at a loss as to what to do. But it was the music that pulled him through. Kerry Ferrell, close friend of Jim's, said that Jim told him that there would never be anyone in his life again like Kim. Rosen contin-ued to be haunted by her death during his career and refused to play songs that were Kim's favorites. I met Jim one night in late 1990 at Barry's, where

daMudcats were the house band. I had seen the band play numerous times around town and was so impressed with them and especially Rosen. I can't remember the particular circumstances of our meeting but in no time we became friends. Obviously there was the common love of the blues that we connected over. But it was far deeper than that. Irreverence, sar-casm, quick with laughter over a good story, copius amounts of time spent at the bar and a like-mindedness on a number of other things were just as important as the blues. In fact, I'm 100% sure Jim and I became close because I looked at him as a friend and not just a musician. There was a six-month period around 1995 when both of us were between girlfriends that the bond between us was cemented. We were hanging together a lot. Going to concerts (the Allman Brothers and Aretha at the Palace stick out), checking out ball-games, shooting pool. Jim fancied himself a pool player while I fancied myself someone who could talk trash enough to throw him off his game. We spent countless hours at the pool hall laughing and cracking on each other and probably ended up even. I'm honored to have his cues to this day. While playing in the Budweiser tent at the state fair in August 1996, Rosen complained of pain in his back. He visited the doctor and it was then he was diagnosed with Stage IV renal carcinoma. Within a few days he had one kidney removed and began a bout with chemo. The survival rate for that kind of cancer was not good. He even told Pickett and Wickliffe that he was going to quit the band so as to not hold them back. They were able to convince him to stay. Throughout his last 18 months Rosen played when he was able and when he couldn't, others would sit in for him. Even though he attempted to hide it, in late summer of '97 it was obvious to me that his health was deteriorating. da Mudcats had never missed playing the Garvin Gate Blues Festival. I talked with Jim about whether he felt like he could play. "You better put my ass on there and right in front of one of the headliners!" was his response. I'm still in awe of his playing that night. He simply showed everyone that he was one of the best harp players in the world. At the end of the show he had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance. Rosen's last public gig was New Year's Eve at The Rud. Less than two months later, he passed away very peacefully. There was a memorial service soon but since he donated his body to UL, a year later his ashes were buried in the garden at the Unitarian Church. It was the first time my daughter had seen her Dad cry. "You're gonna miss me when I'm gone," Jim Rosen told us. He was right. Lots of folk do. I always will.

Toad Strangler Live In The Rain Self-Produced

You may remember this group if you were at the Germantown-Schnitzelberg Festival in 2012. At the festival, Andrea Tanaro put on a powerful vocal show and proved to be a pretty good harp player too. Her husband, Tony, wowed the audience with his guitar licks and slide playing.

This CD memorializes that performance. The same set (or pretty close to it) that they played that night finally made it onto a CD so we could all hear their music again. Of the ten songs on the CD, all but two are Toad Strangler originals. The others are “Misty Mountain Hop” by Led Zeppelin and “Possession Over Judgment Day” by Robert Johnson. The Zeppelin and Johnson songs are evidence of the band’s roots as rockers. Most of the other songs have a blues-rock feel to them also. Don’t let that fool you though, because they play some good blues here-my favorite is “How Do You Feel Now”- a slow bluesy tune.

Tanaro’s slide guitar is exceptional and he doesn’t hold back on the songs. The other Tanaro plays some very good harp-it’s a shame she can’t sing and play harp at the same time. The reason she can’t is because this is a live recording although it is obviously live in the studio.

This is a pretty good CD from a local (Bowling Green) band that is worth a listen. Visit www.toad-strangler.com for more information.

New Music Reviews!

Kevin Selfe Long Walk Home Delta Groove

This 2013 release from Delta Groove Records from the 2002 IBC finalist shows that you don’t have to sneak into bars as a six year old and see Muddy Waters, and other greats and start play-ing a string tacked onto the side of your house to learn blues. Selfe did not start playing music until he was in college and only then did he start listening to the masters. His college degree in Meteor-ology did not deter him from following his muse and playing the blues.

Joining his first band at the age of 23 in his hometown of Roanoke VA, he perfected his music over the next eight years with two more bands, and then decided it was time to go out on his own. Moving to Portland OR, he formed a west coast version of the bands he left behind.

This CD has 11 original songs on it. Selfe plays excellent west coast guitar on the songs and is joined by a stable of greats including Jimi Bott, Mitch Kashmar, and others. The music is mostly west coast blues, but has a Chicago mix in it too.

This is the best new CD I have heard this year. I would guess this one may win some awards because it is all original and interesting, is exceptionally played and recorded. This is one you should have on your shelf (or hard drive, iPod, iPhone, or whatever). Learn more at www.kevinselfe.com

Ursula George One Steady Roll Tommytiger

Lori Urso (performing as Ursula George, the duo consisting of her and drummer/pianist Marty Richards who anchor a band as well) has released a recording of authentic music that can be fully classified as jazz, blues, and vaudeville - and it's a mix of all three.

These 10 songs (mostly written by others) take the listener back to a time when these three styles were more identified as one and the same - or at least more closely intertwined.

Assisting in giving this set list that flavor is first and foremost Urso's strong, clear voice, conjuring up images of the glam-orous female singers who graced the stages in the early days of the 20th century. Press notes report she studied Afri-can-American vaudeville and "chitlin'" performers from around 1900-1930 to glean information about the types of songs

and instrumentation to include in this CD. Of course, this is not by any means a solo effort. Saxophonists Rich Lataille and Doug James (from Roomful of Blues), ragtime pianist Tim Ray (from Lyle Lovett's band) and trumpeter Doug Woolverton (complete with damper) are the key ingredients in providing this time-honored sound.

All the tracks are keepers. The most "bluesy" would be the tribute to longtime bluesman David "Honeyboy" Edwards (track five, "Blues for Honey-boy"), written by Urso and Richards, with Jon Butcher playing some tasteful slide guitar. Its "repeat" as a bonus mono track, without a bass in the intro), is also very good. And, while not quite "blues", track 10 "(Let's Get Naked) and Break Things," (David Han-sen/The Young Adults, 1978) is quite enjoyable, too.

The entire CD is a joy to listen to, for that matter.
