3 BLUES NEWS September 2012

It was a beautiful weekend for the Madison Ribberfest this year on August 17 and 18. The KBS would like to extend it's thanks and gratitude to two of this year's performers. Robert Cray's man-ager donated $105 to the KBS and Eden Brent donated merchandise and signed up for a $150 KBS business membership. Thanks for supporting our local blues society and we hope you come back soon. Congratulations to Joe DeBow and Danny Henderson, winners of this year's KBS Solo/Duo con-test. Randy Colvin of Greensburg, KY came in second and "Blind-Dog" Gatewood of Uniontown, KY came in third. Our thanks to the Pizza Place in Hikes Point for hosting the event and to our judges Amy Johnson, Jimmy Davis, Mark Barnes and Matt Anthony. We'll have photos from the contest in a future edition of Blues News. This month's festivals include the Bands and BBQ at the Point festival in Carrollton, KY on Fri-day and Saturday, September 7 and 8. The festival features all types of music but returns with a

strong blues presence this year with the Greg Schaber Band, the PorkPie James Band and the Inner City Blues Band from Columbus, OH. On Saturday, September 8, the first Fort Knox Blues Festival will take place in Eastman Park. The inaugural event gets off to a great start with Kim Massie, Kenny Neal, Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials and John Lee Hooker, Jr. on the bill. More info is available online at http://knoxmwr.com/. The Kentucky State BBQ Festival returns to Danville, KY on Saturday and Sunday, September 8 and 9. The festival will have several local and regional blues acts. Full details at http://kentuckybbqfestival.com/. The Jug Band Jubilee is back at the Brown-Forman Amphitheater on Wa-terfront Park on Saturday, September 15. The event celebrates the uniquely musical form created right here in Louisville, will have jug bands from around the country and includes our own Juggernaut Jug Band. Check out their website at http://www.jugbandjubilee.com/. Recently I sent a check for $1,000 to the American Cancer Society from Check's Cafe. The money was raised at this year's Germantown-Schnitzelburg Blues Festival in June. This was the third year for the festival and we pick a different charity every year to benefit. This year's festival was in memory of guitarist John Carby who lost his battle with cancer on December 12, 2011. Thank you John Murrow and Check's Cafe for your help in fighting this terrible disease. Congratulations to Daniel "Boscoe" France of Madisonville, KY for winning the Guitar Center's Battle of the Blues com-petition in Los Angeles, CA on August 18. The competition began in April and included over 4,000 contestants. France won a prize package valued at over $50,000 and includes a recording session with Grammy award winning producer Pete Anderson. Way to go, Boscoe! That's showing them how to do it, Kentucky-style. Check out his winning perform-ance on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rYCsZY9aKM.

River City Blues Band Live! No Jive! Self-Produced

The River City Blues Band has finally recorded another CD to follow up on their CDs “Pan Fried” and “Live at the Grand”, both from 2006. Since the re-

lease of those CD’s, the lineup has changed a little, but Denny Thornbury is still anchoring the band. Jonathon Blain plays guitar and sings, Rex Newlin plays guitar, Chris Kress plays bass and Gary Underwood plays drums.

The songs on the CD will be familiar to those who have seen them perform live-and for good reason. This is a live CD re-corded at Maple Inn and Shack-in-the-Back BBQ in Louisville. The songs include covers by Willie Dixon (Shake it Baby, My Babe), Sleepy John Estes (Mailman Blues), Little Walter (Last Night), Magic Sam (Look What’cha Done), Roosevelt Sykes (Out on a Limb), and others. There are 9 songs on the CD, all time tested blues favorites.

This CD is easily identifiable as the RCBB. The selection of songs and Denny’s voice let you know right away who you are listening to. Denny does an excellent job on the harp as does the rest of the band on their instruments.

Newlin did a good job of recording the music also. It captures the musicianship and vocals of the group quite well and it cap-tures the essence of the RCBB. This CD should whet the ap-petite for those who want to get out and see the band live, which I recommend.

New Music Reviews!

Carolyn Wonderland Peace Meal Bismeaux Records

Texas blues vocalist and guitar-slinger Carolyn Wonderland did her latest recording "Peace Meal" in a big way--as in, everything about the production and recording is "big-name:" Grammy-winners Ray Benson (of Asleep at the Wheel), Larry Campbell (Levon Helm), and Michael Nesmith (yes, THAT Mi-chael Nesmith) teamed up to help create an excellent CD at Austin's Bismeaux Studios and Levon

Helm Studios in New York. And don't forget talent: Wonderland is loaded with "big" talent, both on guitar and in her sing-ing voice.

Speaking of "big-name," even Wonderland's cover tunes are taken from such luminaries such as Elmore James, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan and Muddy Waters.

Of the 12 tunes on this release, Wonderland penned five and co-wrote one, for an even mix of originals and songs bor-rowed from others. Even among the latter, she makes them her own, with her signature gritty southern/Texas drawl, stinging guitar solos and dark and spooky slide work.

Although they are all good, roughly half the tunes on this CD really stand out, as she runs the gamut from Texas, roots, Chicago, country, ballad, honky-tonk and juke-joint styles. From the most notable on the list, three of her covers perhaps bear mentioning.

The opening tune, "What Good Can Drinkin' Do?" a rare, early Joplin track, perhaps sets the tone for the rest of the CD, with a solid, strong guitar and vocal foundation, thumping rhythm, and even a rousing piano solo thrown in for good measure (although without liner notes, it's not indicated who plays it). Of course, there's Wonderland's greasy electric slide in the mix, too. Anchoring the middle of the set list is Elmore James' "Dust My Broom," which Wonderland handles with enthusiasm and true Chicago blues fire and brimstone with the familiar slide riffs made famous decades ago. And, track 11, Muddy Waters' (McKinley Morganfield) "Two Trains," has a real Mississippi juke joint feel.

Highly recommended. In a big way. Les Reynolds

5 BLUES NEWS September 2012

CeeCee James Blood Red Blues FWG Records

Talk about yer gut-bucket blues: blood-red, spilled over, mopped up and poured out all over again. Cee-Cee James has once again released a characteristically hold-nothing-back, emotionally-drenched re-cording of blues as only she can do. There might be references to "channeling Janis" or something to that effect by various listeners; but the raw, emotionally-charged 12-song set list tells HER story, not any-one else's. And its CeeCee's band, not someone else's. No, this is no copy-cat effort. It's 100% blues,

and 100% CeeCee.

For the most part, the CD is jam packed with energy, with plenty of grit 'n' dirt for added authenticity. Each tune is a "keeper." Each song "fits" and every cut is a building block or bridge to the next.

The band is tight and supports CeeCee admirably, with producer Jim Gaines having done a great job of engineering and mix-ing. Rob "Slideboy" Andrews provides plenty of greasy slide guitar on several tunes, and a special shout-out goes to keyboard-ist Susan Julian, also featured prominently throughout the CD.

It's too difficult to pick out a "best-of" from the dozen, because they're all good songs. A nod towards cut three, "Feel My Love Come Down," is due, with maybe equal recognition for her "autobiography," titled "I Got a Right to Sing the Blues," placed in the middle.

Perhaps taking a few lines from her final cut, a rocker titled "I'm Takin' Mine" is a good way to sum up the straight-on, no-holds-barred music CeeCee delivers here: "I got something nobody can kill/You can take my money but you can't take my will/So stand aside, 'cause I'm comin' through..." Does she ever!!!

Little Johnny Kantreed Odds & Ends – Live ANJ Records

This is not your usual boogie-dance-sweat group that you’d see at Stevie Rays. However – you could very easily work up a sweat dancing to this. Recorded live – 8 tracks from WDVX – Knoxville, Tn., all recorded in 2012, two from Jammin’ at Hippie Jacks in Crawford, Tenn., and one from Lady Godiva’s in Lebanon, Tenn., and the others at Norm’s River Road House in Nashville, Tenn.

The cover shows a gentleman in coveralls and flannel shirt sitting in front of a wall with several three string cigar box guitars hanging on the wall behind him. Macanudo and H. Hupman are well represented. They have a lady Fid-dler (violin too), acoustic guitar and cigar box players, harmonica players and all share on the vocals. This is not camp, this is real music done for real people who are interested in this – I would call it folk blues, country blues – no matter the title or titles– which may scare many away – like “The Grey Goose”, “Joe’s Blues”, “You Got To Move”, “One-String Willie Goes to Europe”, “Cigar Box Blues” and “Goodnight Irene.”

I like their sound and I like this CD. Their blues songs are really blues songs. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them playing at Headliners, but maybe not at Steviie Ray’s.

Volker Strifler Let The Music Rise VizzTone

Volker Strifler is the long time front man for the Robben Ford Band. This is his second solo CD, a follow up to “The Dance Goes On” released in 2006.Strifler, who plays guitar, pots and pans, doors, and sings on the CD, has come up with a very different mix of music. It is based in blues, but isn’t confined by the genre. By that I don’t mean that he plays funk, soul, rock etc. He infuses some his life’s perspectives into his music. For instance, he uses what he calls “Spaghetti West-

ern” licks on the second song- “The Great Escape”. It is actually quite a catchy tune too with equally catchy licks by the sax.

The CD starts with “Going to Brownsville” a Sleepy John Estes song featuring a slide guitar and sax. The third song, “Redemption” has a kind of Caribbean beat to it with the sax, trombone, and organ.The title track starts with a cool acoustic intro which segues into an electric slide guitar tune.

“It’s Getting Late” is all acoustic guitarwith the regular band backing Strifler up. The last song, “Hoogie Boogie” is an in-strumental country-beat song.

Even though as Strifler puts it, he is “on the outer limits of the genre”, it is enjoyable music. I recommend it as not so much blues-rock as blues-frolic.

2012 Local Music Releases

This is a list of local artists CD’s that have been released thus far this year. If you have a CD out and I missed it – it is not intentional – get me a copy and I will add it in.

1.Central Avenue Blues Band “Live at Harleys Main Street Tavern”. Danny Henderson provides the guitar parts and Susan Lay does the vocals. This CD was recorded under not-the-best circumstances but still has some moments that shine.

2 John Carby Benefit – was put out on Nov. 27, 2011. Featured are cuts by Dog House Kitchen, The KingBees, Lil T&A, Lamont Gil-lespie and 100 proof, The Travelin’ Mojo’s ands Da Mudcats – special thanks to DMR music who recorded it. Great CD in that it sounds just like they always do. Only 100 copies were made for sale.

3.Little T & A – 2 versions – one with 6 tracks, one with 8 tracks. Sounds just like this group that has been taking the Louisville area by storm for the last year or so. Amy Johnson, Tony Tkac, Monk Mackey, Bill Dean, Mike Murphy, Jeff McAllister and sometimes Mark Hoekstra on harmonica. Well made – sounds just like them. For all you visual appreciators – Tony or Amy or the others – this is not available in DVD.

4.River City Blues. Denny Thornbury with Rex Newlin on guitar. A different sound for River City as they are starting to sound more like a west coast swing band, but in addition to their usual blues stuff. Watch this group.

5.Lamont Gillispie and 100 Proof Blues with David Witherspoon on guitar. Only about ten years after Lamont released the other – one or two ? – EP CD.s – we get one that sounds just like him again, and after all his grumbling about not being able to stand to hear his own recorded voice. He needs to do another sooner rather than later.

6.Jimmy Davis – won last year’s KBS single / duo contest. A great performer of the Blues. A great performer of whatever strikes him to do. Look for more from him.

7.Mississipi Adam Riggle. “Broke and Hungry.” Wanna see some one do live Delta, Piedmont etc. blues in Louisville for an evening: this is your guy. Never disappoints. WE NEED MORE ADAM.

8.Sonny Moorman. Yes he’s out of Cincy and this CD is a year old but he plays Louisville often and is a great listen. I think he’s gonna do a lap steel only CD in the near future.

9.There is a Mark Stein Demo. Guitarist goes mad in his music cave and records it too. EP CD, 6 songs. NOT FOR SALE. I stole mine from him at a KBS meeting. Great stuff. Maybe it’s a Roy Buchanan tribute. Maybe it’s just how Mark approaches guitar. Maybe it’s just what happened that night. Some of these are available on Reverbnation.

A lot of these are not available unless you get ‘em at the gigs. Support live music, then take your favorites home with you!

2012 Chicago Blues Festival, June 8-10 By Keith Clements

I have been doing this for twenty eight years, missing only two festivals since it started in 1984. This year’s theme was Celebrating Blues Past & Present, including the centennial of Lightnin’ Hop-kins and tributes to Hubert Sumlin and KoKo Taylor. The weather was blue skies and the music on the five stages was undiluted blues.

Johnny Rawls is as smooth as silk with his soulful voice and guitar, assisted by his daughter, Jesse, on vocals. Johnny had everyone pushing and pulling at the end of his set. 

The best initiation into the Festival is the free show at Buddy Guy’s Legends on Thursday evening. This show was broadcast live over WXRT and featured Joe Louis Walker plus Ronnie Baker Brooks, Shemekia Copeland and Billy Branch, as shown doing an acoustical set together.

You never know who you might run into going between the stages. Here I am with Eddie C. Campbell who had just finished his performance on the Mississippi Juke Joint Stage. Eddie was preparing to leave shortly for a European tour promoting his latest CD, Spider Eating Preacher. Note that I’m wearing the latest KBS LP tee-shirt.

As a tribute to Lightnin’ Hopkins and Texas blues, one of Friday’s fea-tured acts in the Petrillo Music Shell was Rev. K. M. Williams from Dal-las. His repetitive primitive guitar sound was a unique blend of Texas and North Mississippi with a little gospel preaching. 

It was back to the jump swing era with guitarist, Mil-ton Hopkins, who was a cousin of Lightnin’. This mu-sician has done it all, having toured with The Upset-ters and playing rhythm guitar with B.B. King during the 70’s. Jewel Brown joined Milton to add her sassy, jazzy vocals to their set of vintage blues and R & B. 7

Page 8: THE NEWSLETTER OF THE KENTUCKIANA BLUES SOCIETY ...members.aye.net/~kbsblues/Newsletters/2012/KBS_BN_201209.pdf · The songs include covers by Willie Dixon (Shake it Baby, My Babe),

Texas Johnny Brown closed out Friday evening highlighting Texas blues. Johnny’s mastery of his Gibson is a mu-sical treasure, since he returned to play-ing music full time in 1991. Midway in his act he did a solo medley of standards that included “Keys To The Highway,” “Crawling Kingsnake,” and “Rock Me Baby.”

Diunna Greenleaf, who sang from a strong woman’s point of view, was a fireball on the Crossroads Stage. She stated at the start of her act that because she had arrived late, she didn’t have enough time to get into her pretty dress. That didn’t make any difference for she soon had her shoes off and got down in the photo pit to get closer to the crowd. She was accompanied by Jonn Richard-son and, briefly, Bob Margolin on guitars.

The Homemade Jamz Blues Band made their second appear-ance at the Festival, having achieved international zrecogni-tion. The trio are all siblings with Ryan playing guitar, Kyle on bass and the youngest, Taya Perry, keeping the beat on the drums. Their flashy guitars were fabricated from shiny chrome mufflers. We need to get this band to Louisville.

Many years ago the Festival would open at the Front Porch Stage with Otha Turner playing his homemade fife and leading a procession of drummers around the stage. The Rising Star Fife and Drum Band is now led by Sharde Tho-mas, the granddaughter of Otha. This old tradi-tion of primitive music with African roots is car-ried on by Sharde, who has been playing the fife since she was seven.

How many blues divas would perform in front of a large crowd wearing a Mr. Bubble tee-shirt? Mary Lane, at right, who performs regularly on Chicago’s West Side, had no problem. She was accompanied by the No Static Blues Band which included Rockin’ Johnny Burgin on guitar. 8

Page 9: THE NEWSLETTER OF THE KENTUCKIANA BLUES SOCIETY ...members.aye.net/~kbsblues/Newsletters/2012/KBS_BN_201209.pdf · The songs include covers by Willie Dixon (Shake it Baby, My Babe),

I recognized Sonny Sitgraves sitting back stage with Eddie Shaw. They have been long time friends, going back to when they played with Howling Wolf. It was Sonny’s sev-enty seventh birthday. Only Sonny could get away with wearing a tee-shirt like that.

I got chills just looking across the Petrillo Music Shell during the evening performances as the evening transitioned into night and all the lights of Chicago’s skyline came alive. The finale for this year’s festival was Mavis Staples shown here on stage.

Every year provides some surprises of someone new to see and hear. This year it was Patrice Moncell. Jimmy Rushing was known as Mr. Five by Five, well Patrice has the same stature for she was wide as she was tall. The power that came from this mighty and emotional woman mesmerized me for her entire set.

Sunday night celebrated Women in Blues with KoKo’s tribute presented by a special group of women which included Melvia ‘Chick’ Rogers, Nora Jean Bruso, Deitra Farr and Jackie Scott. At the end of the set everyone took a bow, including Cookie Tayor (KoKo’s daughter ) and Marie Dixon ( Willie’s wife). Nora Jean stole the show and we will get to see her at Garvin Gate on October 13.

It was so good to see the Blues Machine back together again for a tribute to KoKo Taylor on Sunday night. Vino Louden and Shun Kikuta were jamming together on gui-tars. KoKo, who died three years ago, always had out-standing musicians backing her and the Blues Machine was in high gear that night

My late night extracurricular activity this year was to go with Michael Frank, the owner of Earwig Records, to Chicago’s West Side to a neighborhood hangout called Gene’s Playmate Lounge. Every Sunday it is show time with Willie White, the owner, serving as M.C., plus a house band. The place was full of talented singers, some known and some unknown. There was Slick Rick, Miss Jessie, Little Harvey, Willie D. and Miss Hol-loway, plus Cicero Blake. Otis Clay was in the house but did not sing. Michael is at the counter with the glow of red lights and tinsel behind him. 9
