Photo Moments with the 18th Annual BFG Magazine!
Here are music fans Jeannette Anderson from Tucson, AZ and Jannette Soriano Kutchins of San Diego County. Jeannette, an avid music fan and swing dancer enthusiast who relocated to AZ two years ago, was visiting over Mother's Day weekend. Jannette is an integral part of the local dance community and both were so excited to run into each other while being able to enjoy live music at the Flower Fields in Carlsbad, CA.

Blues legend Bobby Rush to be 'Dr. Rush' with honorary degree from Rhodes College May 15
John Beifuss/Memphis Commercial Appeal
Musician Bobby Rush soon will be able to add the title "Dr. Rush" to a list of informal accolades that includes "King of the Chitlin' Circuit" and "International Dean of the Blues."

The ever-upbeat Mid-South blues legend who has contributed such observations as "I'm not henpecked, I've just been pecked by the right hen," "What's good for the goose is good for the gander, too" and "She must have a booga bear up under there" to the cultural discourse will be this year's recipient of the Honorary Doctorate of Humanities from Rhodes College, the school announced Thursday.

"I'm on cloud nine, man," said Rush, 87, in a phone interview from his home in Jackson, Mississippi. "This means everything to me."

Known for his bone-deep authenticity, his outrageous stage show and a string of recordings that began in 1971 with "Chicken Heads" and continued over the decades with such memorable titles as "I Ain't Studdin' You," "Bowlegged Woman, Knock-Kneed Man" and "Booga Bear," Rush will receive the degree May 15 during the college's commencement ceremony at the Liberty Bowl.

The honorary degree puts a celebratory exclamation point on a rough year that found the tireless concert road warrior not only cooped at home due to the novel coronavirus but battling COVID-19 at an early stage in the pandemic.
"Feb. 28, I was the first man I know of in Mississippi who came down with it, but God embraced me and put his hands around me and brought me out of it," Rush said. "This was one of the worst years I ever had since I was chopping cotton in a cotton field." ...Find full story here

Farewell to Delmark Records founder Bob Koester
By Maureen O'Donnell
Bob Koester, longtime owner of Chicago’s legendary Jazz Record Mart and founder of the Delmark Records label, died Wednesday [May 12] at 88.

He had had a stroke and was in hospice care, according to his son, also named Bob.

The store he ran for decades at various downtown Chicago locations drew legions of jazz and blues fans from around the world.

Bruce Iglauer, founder of Chicago’s Alligator Records, called Mr. Koester “a hero not only to blues and jazz but to Chicago music.”

Mr. Koester was one of the first to capture the sounds of the city’s South Side and West Side blues clubs, according to Iglauer, who once worked for him. Iglauer said he gave artists free rein in the studio.

That approach resulted in classics including “Hoodoo Man Blues” by Junior Wells.
Mr. Koester lifted some forgotten artists from the 1930s out of obscurity, getting them to record for the first time since they’d made it big in the era of 78 rpm records. He also was one of the first to record the country-flavored blues of Big Joe Williams and Speckled Red.

In an online tribute, longtime WXRT DJ Terri Hemmert called Mr. Koester “a force of nature,” the Jazz Record Mart “one of the coolest record stores in the world” and said she’d buy a record just because it was on his label.

“If it was on Delmark, I wanted to hear it,” Hemmert said.

Mr. Koester called the Jazz Record Mart the “World’s Largest Jazz and Blues Specialty Store.” He first opened the store on Wabash Avenue near Roosevelt University.

He met Sue, his wife of more than 50 years, at his next address, 7 W. Grand Ave. She was working nearby at the American Medical Association and came in to buy a record. ...Read full obit

Dustin Arbuckle & The Damnations
Dustin Arbuckle and The Damnations are not a band you can easily associate with one specific genre, and that’s how they planned it. My Getaway, their first full-length studio album, has one foot soaking in the blues, one foot dripping wet with Americana, and a third foot with its toes split between folk and vintage rock.
“With this band, and this record, we’re really trying to paint a big canvas,” says singer/harmonica player Dustin Arbuckle, who previously spent 15 years as part of the gritty roots rock and blues act, Moreland & Arbuckle.

“When we started playing together, we all wanted the band to be a space where we could play anything we wanted to, and that’s created this cross-genre electric Americana vibe. One of the biggest compliments we tend to get from people, be it other musicians or promoters or fans, is that our style is truly Americana, because we bring together so many different aspects of American music to make something unique.”

The 11 tracks on My Getaway span a range of styles and moods from a Hill Country stomp through cranked up Fender Twins, to Nick Cave riffing on Led Zeppelin III or the Laurel Canyon sound filtered through a southern swamp. “We’ve each brought our own distinct and different influences to the table, and because of the way we’ve used that to cultivate our sound, this record really reinforces what the driving idea behind the band has been since we started. It all comes together in a really cohesive way and feels like us.”

Eddie 9-Volt :: LITTLE BLACK FLIES
All his life, Eddie 9-volt has acted on instinct. Aged just 15, this old-soul artist turned away from the path of college and jobs to burst all guns blazing onto the blues club circuit of his native Atlanta, Georgia. Flash forward to 2019, and for his debut album, Left My Soul In Memphis, the prodigious multi-instrumentalist simply powered up the amps in his mobile trailer and with his brother/co-writer/producer, Lane Kelly, laid down one of the year’s breakout releases, acclaimed as “fresh and life-affirming” by Rock & Blues Muse. “Memphis was a total side project,” shrugs Eddie, “that ended up taking off.”

Now, released in 2021 on Ruf Records, Little Black Flies is the 24-year-old’s most impulsive move to date. Tracked live in Atlanta’s Echo Deco Studios through November 2020, once again with Lane turning the knobs, plus a who’s who of the state’s best musicians (including guitar icon Cody Matlock), it’s an album that Eddie planned to feel like it’s unfolding right in front of you – right down to the clink of bottles and loose studio banter. “I’ve seen a trend in modern recording,” he says. “There’s no soul. I took inspiration from Albert Collins, Otis Rush, Mike Bloomfield. All those great records were done live with their buddies and no overdubs. I wanted the playing to be spot-on – but even if we made a mistake, we kept going.” Little Black Flies represents a passing of the baton to a bandleader that many credit for reinvigorating the South’s proud roots scene.
