Potrzebie, Alfred E. Neuman & His Fershlugginer Five (1959) MAD Magazine published a number of recordings over the years, some included as tear-out  vinyl 45s in various issues. Potrzebie was the B-side of the truly awful What Me Worry? From Google Translate:
Polish – “Potrzeba” (poat-seh-bah) translates to “need”
“W potrzebie” (poat-seh-byah) means “in need of”.

Saturday Matinee – Cyriak, R.L. Boyce, The Delta Saints & The Lachy Doley Group

CYRIAK dropped a new one. Turn it up and annoy the neighbors.

Born in Como Mississippi in 1955, R.L. Boyce was a protégé of Mississippi Fred McDowell, R.L. Burnside and others who played at his parents’ weekend-long  house parties. Boyce says his initials stand for “R.L.”

The Delta Saints gots the bourbon-fueled bayou-rock swamp smokes.

Lachy Doley is the Jerry Lee Lewis of the Hammond C3. Lazy Onions is a mashup of  Deep Purple’s Lazy with Booker T. & The M.G.s’ Green Onions. Free download of Best Of The Lachy Doley Group album is available at his website. (Side note: The Hammond C3 organ is the same as a Hammond B3 but has a case instead of legs for support.)

Have a great weekend, and tomorrow maybe we’ll do something.
See you then.

Saturday Matinee – Robert Randolph & the Family Band, Cedric Burnside, and Robert Bryant & The Bo-Keys

Robert Randolph and the Family Band teamed up with the North Mississippi All-Stars to form the blues supergroup The Word.

When he was only 13, Cedric Burnside was already touring as a drummer with his grandfather, renowned bluesman R.L. Burnside (1926-2005).

Don Bryant & The Bo-Keys. In 1998, bassist Scott Bomar wanted to preserve the Memphis Sound and formed the Bo-Keys. The group’s name is a hat-tip to the session groups The Bar-Kays and The Mar-Keys.

“One of the main reasons I started the band is that there were a lot of great musicians from the golden era of Memphis soul who weren’t really getting the work or attention they deserve,” says bandleader Scott Bomar, who formed the Bo-Keys in 1998. “Stax, Hi Records and American Studios all shut down, and the amazing musicians who were part of those studio bands either moved or stayed in Memphis, languishing in obscurity for the most part. I wanted people to know that those players and that sound were still alive and well.”

So there you go. Have a great weekend, see you on the porch whenever you get here.

Saturday Matinee – Fiona Boyes, The Stacy Mitchhart Band, and Anthony Rosano & The Conqueroos

Aussie Fiona Boyes grew up near the backwater bayous of the Melbourne Delta and it shows. She plays a variety of styles, all anchored to the blues. Legendary pianist Pinetop Perkins described her as “the best gal guitarist I heard since Memphis Minnie.”

The Stacy Mitchhart Band covered Johnny Winter‘s Tbe Monkey Song at the Bourbon Street Blues and Boogie Bar in Nashville (2018).

Anthony Rosano & The Conqueroos mixes Delta blues, NOLA  second line funk and 60’s jams with classic rock. No self-indulgent wheedly-wheedly solos here.

Saturday Matinee – Jeremiah McDonald does Dizzy & Charlie, The Red Devils, Smokin’ Joe Kubek & Bnois King, and The Homemade Jamz Blues Band

Jerimiah McDonald lip syncs Leap Frog, Dizzy Gillespie vs. Charlie Parker. [h/t Mme. Jujujive]

The Red Devils were a house band from L.A. featuring front man Lester Butler. They had much success after their debut album King King (1992), but the stress of their U.S. and European tours took its toll, and Butler’s drug habit didn’t help. They split up in 1994; Butler died of an overdose four years later at the age of 38.

Smokin’ Joe Kubek & Bnois King played together for decades until Kubek passed away in 2015 at age 58. Both Kubek and King have impressive resumes filled with blues cred.

From Tupelo, Mississippi, siblings Ryan, Kyle and Taya Perry are The Homemade Jamz Blues Band. In 2007, the trio made music history as the youngest blues band to sign a record deal: Ryan was 16, Kyle 14 and Taya 9.

Got a busy day tomorrow. Big plans, y’know, big plans. I don’t know what they are yet, just that tomorrow’s gonna be busy. See you then.
