Saturday Matinee – The Reverend Horton Heat, Beverly Watkins & Buckwheat Zydeco (reposted)

[My calendar malfunctioned, so here’s a repost from 01 October 2016.]

I don’t listen to food shows on the radio, at least not intentionally, but sometimes I do by accident.

KFIAM640 features “The Fork Report” on Saturdays, featuring Neil Saavedra, and his themesong is pretty cool. Lordy, lordy. Last night I suddenly realized that he’s been playing The Reverend Horton Heat all this time. If you’re offended by Rockabilly cheesecake videos, click on it, turn away and just listen. The song is fun. The video is funner.

Yeah, I found that mildly amusing, but then I’m easily amused. So let’s go visit Beverly Watkins instead.

From the UToobage description:

Beverly Watkins plays a mean blues guitar, and that’s putting it mildly. Over six decades of performing, the 77-year-old has opened for Ray Charles, James Brown, BB King and other legendary musicians. She’s one of the greatest female blues guitarists, and still plays local gigs in Atlanta.

Not convinced? Try this.

Here’s some bad news.

Stanley “Buckwheat” Dural Jr. passed away Saturday, 24 September 2016 at the age of 68. The vid features Lenny Kravitz and Ry Cooder. Rock on, Buck [via].

We all move on, despite what we would like to believe. Have a great weekend, folks, and let’s all have fun while we still can.

Saturday Matinee – Ruby Dee & The Snakehandlers, The Black Keys, Janiva Magness, and Ry Cooder w/ Buckwheat Zydeco & Lenny Kravitz

Ruby Dee & The Snakehandlers “plays an Americana that encompasses Texas honky-tonk, Bakersfield twang, Memphis rockabilly, Western swing and good old-fashioned rock’n’ roll.” This song doesn’t really fit any of those categories, but it’s nice and easy.

The Black Keys‘ breakout video from 2010… or maybe it wasn’t.

Janiva Magness covers Tom Waits.

Ry Cooder, Buckwheat Zydeco and Lenny Kravitz, having some fun in New Orleans 2005.

Too much heat, stress and attitude for me this week. Tell you all about it on the porch when the time is right.
