On This Day Awesome Happened.
Saturday Matinee – Wimberley Bluegrass Band, The Sleepy Man Banjo Boys & David Ford
The Wimberley Bluegrass Band
Parkfield Bluegrass Festival 5 May 2011.
The Wimberley Bluegrass Band is comprised entirely of four teenage siblings! Danielle plays the mandolin, James is a Deering endorsed artist and plays banjo, Mark, his twin, is a Black Diamond Strings endorsed artist and plays guitar, and Michael plays the fiddle. They all sing with Michael usually taking the lead and the others singing that tight harmony unique to family groups.
“Brothers Jonny, Robbie and Tommy Mizzone are The Sleepy Man Banjo Boys, a trio of virtuoso bluegrass musicians who play with dazzling vivacity.
Did we mention they’re all under 16?”
David Ford at Sun Studios. Jump to 1:15 for one man awesome rock.
All three of these vids made me smile. Have a great weekend, and we’ll see you back here tomorrow.
Saturday Matinee – Billy Preston, Little Milton w/ Jimmie Vaughan, Popa Chubby
Billy Preston “Outta Space” 1973.
No info on that vid, except that Jimmie Vaughan introduced Little Milton and gave him the floor to play “That’s What Love Will Make You Do.”
Popa Chubby live at the Chesterfield Cafe (2006?) with his heavily-modified version of Chick Willis’ “Stoop Down Baby.”
From the Utoobage Comments:
“This guy rocks. I played at an open mic a few nights ago and right after I went off he walked in. He ended up doing a set with the house band for the next 3 hours, he used my gear! I hope some of his mojo rubbed off on my amp. He has one sick tone, I didn’t think my amp could sound as good as he did haha.”
Sorry for the late post, been kinda busy in meatworld. Have a great weekend.
Saturday Matinee – Richard Thompson, Charles Ray Wiggins & Black Joe Louis
Richard Thompson snarks. If you’ve never heard of him, I pity you.
Charles Ray Wiggins (aka Raphael Saadiq) with “Heart Attack.” This is some nice retro soul with cool camera angles.
Black Joe Louis is in so heavy with Howlin’ Wolf influence that there’s nothing left to say. This is one of the best killer jams I’ve heard in years. Crank it.
Dang, so much stuff goin’ down in so little time. Have a great weekend folks, and see you back here tomorrow.
Dance Hard
Saturday Matinee – Ry Cooder & David Lindley, Various Links, and The Marcels
– <—- (this is so the vids don't moosh together visually.)
Two old white guys munching de riddim: Ry Cooder & David Lindley.
This is kinda cool. Elvis’ version of “Blue Moon” jammed with a reggae beat that turns to ska and back. Unfortunately there’s no entertaining vid, so I’ll just post the link for the music. You’ll love it.
So where do we go from here? “Blue Moon” of course.
The Marcels‘ version is my all time favorite, for what I hope are obvious reasons. Have a great weekend folks, and come back tomorrow for more insipid and vapid trepanations.
Saturday Matinee – Playing With High Voltage, The Mendes Harmónica Trio, James Cotton & Magic Dick
In the U.S., the harmonic frequency of electricity is B Flat. [via Amy Oops.]
Mendes Harmónica Trio – “5ª Sinfonia de Beethoven – Excerto” is pure Portuguese brillance. (If that’s too high-brow for you, click here instead: Borrah Minevitch & His Harmonica Rascals.)
The original WhammerJammer, here’s James Cotton‘s classic “Midnight Creeper.” Compare it with this:
Magic Dick Salwitz with The J. Geils Band is enough to blow your face out for this edition of The Saturday Matinee. Have a great weekend, folks. Be back here tomorrow for more vapid and awesome enlightenment.
Saturday Matinee: Chicago Transit Authority, Buddy Guy; Mike Welch, Kirk Fletcher & Josh Smith
Chicago Transit Authority, the self-described “rock and roll band with horns,” from before they got all sappy.
Buddy Guy, one of the greatest living bluesmen, earned recognition the hard way. (I first heard this song on a freebee Tabasco promotional cassette in the 80s. Both sides were the same so you didn’t have to rewind it.)
This awesome 3-axe swamp-rock-blues jam featuring Mike Welch, Kirk Fletcher & Josh Smith should hold your attention for a while.
Have a great Memorial Day Weekend, folks, see you back here tomorrow.
