Weekly Music Review - Edition 1

[SpursforSix]

Def Leppard - Pyromania

I was in a Dollar General and this was in the $5 bin.

I liked it a lot better when it came out. I found myself skipping through most of the CD and only listening to the opening riffs.

Skipping through songs is just a product of the times we live in.

Skipping through songs is just a product of the times we live in.

Unfortunately this is true. Everyone skipping to the songs with the easiest hook to grasp onto. Not taking the time to listen to a full CD and learning to appreciate songs that might be more complex or that take some time to appreciate. Back when I bought cassettes, I'd usually listen to the whole thing several times in the beginning. Too much of a pain to fast forward or flip the tape and try to find the song. It meant that I'd usually come away eventually liking at least 6 or 7 songs on the tape.

It's gotten so bad today that my kid sometimes doesn't even listen to a whole song she likes. She'll listen up through the second chorus and then skip to another song. Drives me insane when she starts doing that in the car.

Bob Wills is still the King.

Ya then go back before Wills who first recored in the mid 30's to Blind Lemon Jefferson, Prince Albert Hunt***, Henry Thomas, Leadbelly (born in Louisiana but raised in Texas).

Ya mean this thread I found way back on page 6 that nobody gave a fuck about?

[Avante]

This guy just might be the oldest Texan to ever record, he was born sometime prior to 1890. He wasn't recorded until 1927.

Ya mean this thread I found way back on page 6 that nobody gave a fuck about?

It's 2 months old. Had over 200 views. I'm pretty sure that it provided some good information to people.

[Avante]

Most the views ya got since I showed up.

This guy is one of my favorites, he is one of the best examples of the lone guitarist moaning his blues. He only recorded one record, what a shame. Yep, a Texan.

Then there is the best example of early female Texas Blues, the great Bessie Tucker.

[Avante]

So you'd want to take the best of Texas/Louisiana and ya have a great mix. Yep, just like Memphis & Mississippi Delta, Georgia & The Piedmont.

Then there is white Hillbillie/Appalachian.

The great Dock Boggs the best example of that sound.

I confess it is funny watching you little shits acting retarded.....hahahaha~~~~~~

[Avante]

In the early 20's Bessie Smith along with the Louis Armstrong band recorded the classic "St. Louis Blues". A few years later Emmett Miller who performed in black face also recorded the tune. It is considered a blues standard.

So how cool is it to see a full fledged choir giving it a shot?



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot6hlrrn3VE


I find the history, the origins of the sounds fascinating. The Animals made "House of the Rising Sun" famous. But it's an old song.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwfLR_f3ZtQ


Speaking of Emmett Miller, his "Lovesick Blues" was made famous some 25 years later by the great Hank Williams.
