BLUES TRAIL MARKER TO BE UNVEILED IN NORWAY

 

The Associated Press 

JACKSON, Miss. - The Mississippi Blues Trail is going international.

 

Mississippi has erected more than 150 Blues Trail markers to highlight the music and its influence on Mississippi. A marker to be unveiled Friday, August 3 in Notodden, Norway, is the first international marker. It will be unveiled during the 25th Annual Notodden Blues Festival.

 

Alex Thomas, with the Mississippi Development Authority's tourism division, says the marker reinforces the global influence of a genre born in Mississippi.

 

The Notodden Blues Festival has hosted dozens of artists from Mississippi. In 1996, Notodden and Clarksdale, Miss., became sister cities with cultural exchanges including performances by Norwegian artists at Clarksdale's annual Sunflower River Blues and Gospel Festival.

CAT HEAD DELTA BLUES & FOLK ART IN CLARKSDALE, MISSISSIPPI, CELEBRATES 10TH ANNIVERSARY

(CLARKSDALE, MISSISSIPPI) – 10 years ago, marketing executive Roger Stolle left his corporate job in St. Louis to pursue a blues mission in the Mississippi Delta. He opened Cat Head Delta Blues & Folk Art in the historic downtown of Clarksdale, Mississippi. And the rest is history.

 

"Cat Head is the store I always wanted to walk into but could never find," Stolle remembers. "It's nothing but the blues – CDs, DVDs, books, magazines, artwork, T-shirts and souvenirs. We get tourists from around the world every week."

 

Cat Head Delta Blues & Folk Art will celebrate its 10th anniversary August 10-12 with free, live blues performances starting Friday afternoon and culminating Sunday with the store's annual Cat Head Mini Blues Festival.

 

Since opening in 2002, the Cat Head and its related projects have garnered numerous honors – from Keeping the Blues Alive and Blues Music Awards to multiple guidebook inclusions and accolades in music magazines such as Paste, which called Cat Head "one of the 17 coolest record stores in America."

Still, Stolle is quick to point out that Cat Head is just about selling product.

 

"From day one, my mission – the Cat Head mission – has been to 'organize and promote from within'," he says. "I didn't really move here to open a retail store, specifically. I moved here to get involved with Delta blues music and promote the surviving culture behind it."

 

Starting with his Cat Head blues store, Stolle went on to co-found Juke Joint Festival and Clarksdale Film Festival. He is also a Blues Revue magazine columnist and Sirius-XM B.B. King Bluesville radio correspondent. He is author of Hidden History of Mississippi Blues and co-producer of films such as M for Mississippi and We Juke Up in Here.

 

"What makes Cat Head successful is Clarksdale, Mississippi – the locals as well as the tourists and transplants our town attracts," he asserts. "Customers often say to me, 'You must really love the blues to have moved here.' I say, 'Yes, the music brought me here, but it's the people that made me stay.'"

 

Cat Head is located at 252 Delta Avenue in Clarksdale. More of the "Cat Head story" as well as a live music calendar and guide to Clarksdale can be found on-line at www.cathead.biz.

INTERVIEW: KNON's DON O. KNOWS HIS DALLAS BLUES 

 

Freddie King

Alan Ayo/Dallas Observer  Don O. has been spinning blues records on KNON since 1983, literally about a month after they went on the air. See, he was a listener of the pre-KNON station at that frequency, KCHU, from '75 until they were switched off in '77. Heartbroken at the station's demise and subsequent absence of blues on the airwaves, Don jumped at the chance to volunteer a true blues show to the station. Among his projects at KNON is their series of blues compilation CDs, the first few of which are now highly collectible and out-of-print. Volume 5 just come out.

 

A huge fan of Freddie King in particular, every year around King's birthday he does a special show in tribute. This year, assuming their upcoming pledge drive goes well, the Freddie King tribute goes down on Friday, August 31, at 6 p.m.

 

In asking you to tell the story of the Dallas blues, it actually turns out there's another story behind that phrase. (Photo RT: Don O.)

 

One of the first blues songs ever published was titled "The Dallas Blues," in 1912. It was written by a white guy from Oklahoma City with lyrics added by a songwriter from New Orleans, but there it is, several months before W.C. Handy did his thing with it in Memphis. I can't wait to see what will happen in relation to that with the 508 Park project. Their first event back in June was marvelous.

 

I understand school played no role in your blues passion whatsoever?

None. Music class was always a bore to me. Maybe if they spent more time talking about T-Bone Walker, Bessie Smith, Freddie King or Albert Collins, I would have been more interested. It always fascinated me that most music classes concentrated on old dead European guys like Mozart and Beethoven. I'm all for that, but that's European culture. Where's the love for blues, jazz soul, and other true American forms of music? How can you have a class about music and not mention Ray Charles? I'm old and it's been a long time since I was in school. I hope things have changed.

 

Care to assemble a starter kit of DFW-based blues for interested beginners?

The "starter kit" would have to include history. "Blind" Lemon Jefferson, Leadbelly, The Dallas String Band, "Blind" Willie Johnson, T-Bone Walker, Black Ace, 508 Park Avenue, Alex Moore, Lil' Son Jackson, Freddie King and others.

 

And the newer, lesser-known names?

That's a slippery slope for anyone who loves the scene as much as I do. I love 'em all. Well, most of them, but here's a few that deserve a lot more attention than they have been getting. Not that any of them are actually getting attention! Aaron Burton, one of the most talented blues songwriters I know of, and an outstanding acoustic guitarist. Christian Dozzler, imported from Vienna, Austria. He moved here because of our blues scene. A multi-threat on piano, harmonica, accordion, vocals and songwriting. An amazing talent. Larry Lampkin (pictured at left), a young man from Fort Worth that released his first CD last year. Great guitar playing and vocals on all original material. I can't wait to see what he does next. Jason Elmore, a protege of Jim Suhler and a fine guitarist, singer and songwriter. Already getting some notice out-of-state. Andrea Dawson, a talented lady with a huge voice, all she needs is fresh original material to start making waves. K.M. Williams, a Hill Country stomp-style guitarist who regularly plays in Italy. The country, not the Texas town. He was on the Chicago Blues Festival the last two years. He plays little BBQ joints in Big D. He also fronts a three-piece called Trainwreck which is loud, in your face, and a lot of fun. Then there's those musicians whose names you should know, but probably don't. These are the names who should be showing up on your "Best of Dallas" listings every year, but never do.

 

Please, enlighten us!

Lucky Peterson, Smokin' Joe Kubek and Bnois King, Mike Morgan, Anson Funderburgh, Andrew "Jr. Boy" Jones, Ernie Johnson, Bobby Patterson, Hash Brown, Gregg Smith, Tutu Jones, Josh Alan, Paul Byrd, Zac Harmon, Vernon Garrett, Paul Harrington, James Hinkle, Wanda King, who is Freddie's daughter, Cookie McGee, Dave Millsap, Johnnie Red, Holland K. Smith, Ray Reed, Texas Slim, Kenny Traylor, Chris Watson, Buddy Whittington, Blues Boy Bo, Jim Suhler, Sonny Collie, Kirkland James, J.B. Wynn, Big Charles Young, R.L. Griffin, Jerry Clark, Chester Burns, Butch Bonner, Joel Foy, James Butler, Lil' Jay, Perry Jones, Lady Lotion, Miss Marcy, Ray Sharpe, Jeff Stone, Harold Walker, Cheryl Arena and many more.

DELTA GROOVE IS PROUD TO WELCOME THE BLUES BROADS

Dorothy Morrison, Tracy Nelson, Annie Sampson and Angela Strehli, all highly regarded vocalists in their own rights, have joined forces as The Blues Broads. Reflecting more than two centuries of collective experience in blues, country, gospel and rock, the awesome aggregation is nothing less than a roots music "super group" of the first order. The Blues Broads, the group's recording debut is a CD/DVD combination set, recorded live, that will be released by Delta Groove on September 18th.

 

The Blues Broads CD/DVD includes both familiar songs associated with their respective august careers as well as newly written material that underscores the creative might of these four remarkable women. Each brings a unique perspective and history to the group that coalesced earlier this year under the aegis of Bob Brown, the album's executive producer and whose Rancho Nicasio venue in Marin County serves as The Blues Broads' unofficial home base. The DVD was directed by John Korty, the noted filmmaker, awarded both an Oscar and Directors Guild Award for the documentary Who Are the DeBolts? And Where Did They Get Nineteen Kids? and an Emmy for The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. 

 

The start of Tracy Nelson's career in music dates back to the mid-1960s when she recorded an album of acoustic blues songs with Charlie Musselwhite's backing for the Prestige label. After moving to San Francisco, she founded Mother Earth and rose to the front ranks of the era's great female singers, sharing stages with the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and many more.

 

Dorothy Morrison rose to international renown as the lead vocalist on the Edwin Hawkins Singers hit "Oh, Happy Day," the biggest selling gospel recording of all time, is now a Blues Broad in good standing. A member of the singing Combs Family, she rose to prominence in East Bay church circles and has been a force in gospel since the late 1960s.

 

Angela Strehli had been one of Austin's most highly regarded female vocalists prior to her move to the Bay Area in the 1990s. She was a fixture at Antone's in Austin where she initially played a key role in that legendary club's development. At Antone's she was mentored and encouraged by many of the artists she booked including Muddy Waters, Otis Rush, Buddy Guy, Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert Collins and her love for the blues literally found a voice as she transitioned from the back office to the stage. Her collaborations with Lou Ann Barton and Marcia Ball were, in some way, a template for The Blues Broads concept.

 

Annie Sampson is a triple threat, bringing a rock, gospel and theater background to The Blues Broads. She played one of the leads in the original San Francisco production of Hair in the late 1960s and would go on to be a founder of Stoneground, the communal rock band that included Sal Valentino of the Beau Brummels in its line up as well as Cory Lerios, Steve Price and David Jenkins who would go on to form Pablo Cruise. 

 

The Blues Broads recently completed a tour that took them to festivals and clubs in Texas and California and plan on more extensive touring in support of the release of The Blues Broads CD/DVD set.
