Breakfast With the blues Playlist for Dec 3,2oo9

Hello,
I had such a great time yesterday...been awhile and logged a few more greatful notches on my life since last time. Peggy and I faced our second fight between me and Cancer...we are happy to report we are 2 and 0. Dr Walker headed a brillant team and our friends and family held us in a warm positive light. Thankyou for your kindness and meditations.

OK...so, yesterday I featured a new friend of mine and his 6th release... DAVIS COEN..."MAGANOLIA LAND"...on Soundview Productions, Memphis Tn.
Daviscoen.com.
Rather than take alot of space to tell you all the cool folks he has shared a stage with including the allstar band on this CD...or all the stations (including Musak and DMX Satelite radio) that are playin' his CD's...or his original music on Martin Scorsese's PBS special "The Blues"...or a number of world tours...or a DVD documentary about "Hillcountry Blues" and the music of the late great Jesse Mae Hemphill...or "the past two years Davis has played at a clean-up kickoff in Gulfport and Biloxi, Mississippi for Katrina victims, performing before the Mayor of both cities and was honored with an achievment award for his conglomerate MS Coast relief efforts"...or that I would recomend this CD for a road trip and it is in my truck CD player right now...nope, I think I'll let you check out his web site and get the whole story.

If you listen to my Thursday morning Breakfast with the Blues show very much you know that I generally like to play my favorite artists with a mixture of classic recordings, popular cuts and a sprinkling of new music. We’ve been getting so much great new (and some not so great) music in that its fun to dig through the blues cabinet to see what has arrived since my last show. This week highlights were a new release from Detroit jazz / blues drummer RJ Spangler “You know I can’t refuse” featuring a great cast of Detroit bluesmen including Bill Heid on keyboard. This is an excellent recording with great renditions of classic tunes of Sonny Boy Williamson, Willie Dixon Jimmy Weatherspoon and many others. I also enjoyed spinning the new Debbie Davies all instrumental album called Holdin’ Court, along with Pete Anderson’s “Even things up” and I’m looking forward to hearing more from the new CD from Quintus McCormick “Hey Jodie. So much new stuff… so little time.
With that said, let’s not forget some of the more solid classic recordings that set the bar and withstood the test of time.
How do you really pick a best or favorite recording for someone like BB King? I mean really. He’s produced so much good music over his career.
Here’s a list of some of my favorite blues albums of the last 50 years.

This morning’s Breakfast with the Blues show was a fun mix of electric blues. We have so much new music rolling in (thanks primarily to our relentless Sunday morning blues host BoogieKing Steve) it’s hard not to want to include a lot of new music to your show. It’s a little tough to try to sort through new music and find the treasures while you’re in the middle of a live show, so I like to take stuff home and give it a good honest listen, especially if it’s someone I’ve never heard of. Taking the CD home with me and really giving it a chance helps me feel good about the new artists I’m playing, especially since the songs I’m putting on the air are likely (at least to me) some of the best songs on the recording. On the other hand it’s easy to find jewels during your show when you get new stuff in from artists that you’re familiar. For instance I felt comfortable previewing new releases from Darrel Nulisch, Doug Deming, Eric Deaton, Al Basile and Corey Harris on the fly. These all sounded good to me and I’m looking forward to playing more from these artists as well as more music form Shane Dwight and Shaun Murphy. Since I’m babbling on about new music a new CD that caught my eye and ear was a new CD from Pat Pepin. The cover artwork features Pat with her baritone sax. I’m a sucker for a baritone, and the thought of a female baritone sax player intrigued me. Every song I keyed up sounded great so it was easy to find some jewels on this CD, and I look forward to taking this one home for a closer listen and playing it often on my show.

James Harman / Temporary Blues
RL Burnside / Let my baby ride
Eric Deaton / Can’t do me that way
Pat Pepin / Can’t take it with you
Freddy Brooks / So Damn poor
Freddy Brooks / Back where I come from
James Montgomery / Sinkin’ Blues

Pat Pepin / Left me lonely

Hope your havin' a great day....
I really had a great time Hosting the Jam up in Albany for Froggy (Vicki Stevens Band) this past weekend...but once again Bill...local hot shot guitar dude/nice guy and regular at the jam...reminded me of my apparent tardy behavoir when it comes to my play list. Thanks Bill...so here it is...Bill...
On a serious note...I am a cancer survivor...and it was close...I was stage four advanced non-hodgkins lymphoma. Peggy and I had been married for 9 months when her company...(an imaging co) found it in an MRI for some back pain I was having. I made it...5 years now...26 hits of radiation...5 hits of Chemo...a tough year long fight for sure. My case is not unusual...there are so many inspirational fighters out there everyday and the kids are the bravest...
Patrick Swayze was just such a fighter...two years older than me...a two year fight...God bless you Lisa...he was a great guy. So, if I sound like I'm having a great time at this Radio Station...you would be right. I know Radio and I'm proud of what we do here and I'm honored and lucky to be apart of it with you. Thanks for your support...
Here's my list...a little tardy...ok ok...but I had a great time playin' it for you!

Having taken a few weeks off the Thursday morning rotation I was more than ready to jump back into the fray. My good friend and Thursday morning sidekick Gregory Satori was nice enough to fill in for me while I was on vacation and I sure appreciate that! As a matter of fact I think he’s having so much fun just being back on the radio he would do every day if we asked him to. Hummmm. This morning's show was a mix of some of my favorites (surprise!).
I watched Cadillac records last week, and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Beyonce made a beautiful Etta James, as I’m sure she was in the day. All of the characters played their roles pretty true to form, but wern’t there two (Leonard & Phil) Chess brothers? They didn’t have to exaggerate too much of the story line to keep it interesting, and some things I would have liked them to spend more time on, but overall it was okay. A few less MF’s would have been okay too. Anyway you can’t beat Chess Records for blues music period! If you told me that I to choose 5 records for my collection there’s no question that they would all be Chess recordings. Music on this label by these artists Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Little Milton, Little Walter’s and countless others has been emulated more than any other form of music ever.

Otis Rush / Little Red Rooster
Debbie Davies / Just stepped into the blues
Johnny Nicholas / Livin’ with the blues
Linda Miles / Home Cookin’
Johnny Guitar Watson / Broke & Lonely
Freddy King / Hideaway
Jimmy Dawkins / If you’re ready
Robben Ford / Life Song
Junior Wells / Hoo Doo Man Blues
Luther GJ Johnson / Back seat of a Greyhound Bus
Albert King / I don’t care what my baby do
Fenton Robinson / Check on my baby
Toby Walker / You got something on the side
Robert Cray / I guess I showed her (live)
Andy Just / Toes up
Guitar Shorty / The Netherlands
Howlin’ Wolf / Smokestack Lightnin’
Howlin’ Wolf / Rockin’ Daddy
Little Walter / My baby’s sweeter
Little Walter / Can’t hold out much longer
Muddy Waters / Blues before sunrise
Lowell Fulson / Not a dime
BB King / Mr Pawnbroker
Booker T & the MGs / You are my sunshine
Chris Cain / Helping hand
Carey Bell / What my Mama told me
Perry Weber / Got my room
Jimmy Burns / Wait a minute
Lurrie Bell / Blues had a baby
George Thorogood / Howlin’ for my darlin’

This morning’s show was an eclectic mix of blues styles. A little bit of Chicago, a little bit of acoustic, some new stuff and a fair mix of familiar artists. I played two from Duke Robillard’s new CD “Stomp the blues tonight”. Duke Robillard rounded out some of his Roomful of Blues friends and a few other great musicians and produced another terrific CD. Listen for more from this CD on future Thursday morning Breakfast with the Blues shows.

This show had to be one of my worst efforts in a long time. Not so much the music although there were a couple CD’s I played that I didn’t care for at all. Generally I struggled with the “on air” portion of the show all morning. It didn’t help that I woke up at exactly 5:19 and was in the station ready to go at 5:31, but even after I finally woke up I made one mistake after another. How embarrassing! I played 3 songs from Tab Benoit’s “Brother to the Blues” (I love that CD) and 2 songs from Luther Kent’s tribute to Bobby Bland and that’s a very good CD as well. I was less impressed with the songs I played from The Insomniac’s new CD “At least I’m not with you” and Zac Harman’s latest “From the Root”. I don’t know what “root” Zac Harman is referring to, but I’ll have to take both of these CDs home for a more thorough revue before I’ll consider playing either one of them on my show.

Robben Ford / Hand in hand with the blues
BB King / No good
Jimmy Cavallo / Poor me
Eric Lindell / I can get off on you
Insomniacs / At least I’m not with you
Zac Harman / Smile on your face
Mike Morgan & the Crawl / I’m blue
Elmore James / One way out
Elmore James / Got to move
Rob Stone & the C Notes / Stranger blues
Rob Stone & the C Notes / Pickin’ the blues
Jeremy Spencer / It hurts me too
Otis Rush / Laughin’ & Clownin’
Nighthawks / Two bugs and a roach
Nighthawks / illustrated man
WC Clark / If you think about it
Duffy Bishop / Change your address
Luther Allison / Rock me baby
Johnny Jones / Love recession
Paul Delay / Every woman I get
Paul Delay / Worn out shoe
John Marx / My heart is hanging heavy
Robert Cray / Playing in the dirt
Tab Benoit / So high
Tab Benoit / Why are people like that
Tab Benoit / I’m on your side

I’m not sure why, but I thought that it would be kind of cool to play a bunch of duet songs on this mornings blues show. The funny thing is, BB Kings Deuces Celebrity Duet CD was my inspiration to do this, and I totally spaced on playing a song off that CD. That will give me something to look forward to for my next show. I also enjoyed playing some new music from the Severn label. Soul / blues singer Charles Wilson has come a long ways from his Ekco records days and the classic recordings such as “It’s sweet in the backseat” and “It ain’t the size” or “Mr. Freak”. Charles also cut a couple CDs with Delmark, but he seems to be gaining some serious momentum with this new release “Troubled Child”. I like most every song on the recording. Another nice new CD that we’ve just received from Severn is the “Chicago Blues Harmonica Project”. This new CD features some of the lesser known blues harmonica players that work in the windy city. There’s nothing groundbreaking or earth shattering on this CD, but it is filled with solid blues music from talented musicians that deserve some recognition.
Until next time.

I had every intention of making this mornings show a little heavy to acoustic blues. I started out with a song from Guy Davis’s great new CD “Sweetheart Like You”, but I got sidetracked by Bettye Lavette’s latest CD “The Scene of the Crime” that features the Drive By Truckers, and I never quite got back to the acoustic thing. As a matter of fact between the phone calls and sorting through all the new music I feel like this mornings show was a little scattered and uneven musically. Oh well that’s the beauty of doing a radio show every other week. I can look forward to putting forth a more consistent effort next time.
BWT there’s some great new music out by Cyril Neville, Richard Ray Farrell and the Spanish Band, Louisiana Red, Doug Cox & Salil Bhatt and Willie Dixon’s Grandson Alex Dixon. Check’em out!

Our newest blues DJ Gregory Satori made his solo debut this morning, and despite a few computer complications he put together a great blues show. According to Gregory he had about 10-12 phone calls from well-wishes and 1 guy that called twice to complain about Gregory’s polished commercial sound. Overall this morning’s show was uplifting and entertaining from start to finish. I enjoyed sharing music from a new CD that I think is just fantastic. Honestly I had never heard of Eric Lindell, but he’s recorded 3 CD’s with Alligator records and has 8 total recordings since 1996. His newest release “Gulf Coast Highway” is a pure delight. Eric’s vocal style is similar to Delbert McClinton, the songs are well crafted, tightly arranged, superbly played and highly entertaining. Gulf Coast Highway is a great CD filled with lots of catchy (but rather short) songs that should appeal to a wide audience. Tune in next week for more from the two headed monster.

This morning’s show was split between myself and a new DJ in training Gregory Satori. Gregory has an extensive background in radio and he is already becoming a huge asset to KRVM. His enthusiasm and positive attitude is contagious and he will no doubt win our listeners over. My 1 hour portion of the show zipped by with some choice tunes by Volker Stifler, Ronnie Earl, and Toni Lynn Washington just to name a few. I played two songs from a brand new CD from Too Slim and the Taildraggers. I took the CD home to give it a thorough revue and I think it’s another well crafted solid effort from one of the true guitar greats of the pacific northwest. This CD is filled with lots of good new original tunes. I played two of my favorites with the title track “Free your Mind” and “Testament” which is a song with a cool Neil Young feel to it. Tim Langford is one of those unique guitar players that just keeps evolving with one cool style after another, and this CD is filled with great guitar riffs and powerful songs. Gregory added his fine play list to the mix and together we formed one very good Thursday morning Breakfast with the Blues show. The plan is to do one more joined effort and then cut him loose with his first very own show on Thursday April 2nd.Be sure to tune in for that!

I just cannot get enough of Guy Davis’s new CD “Sweetheart like you”. Guy Davis is an incredible talent, but this CD is over the top with great musicianship, well written originals and wonderfully arranged cover tunes. The 2 songs I played on today’s show are just 2 of the 14 choice cuts. I also threw in 2 songs from Nick Moss’s latest release “Play it ‘til tomorrow, which is a fine 2 CD set of raw great guitar riff laden song that you can enjoy over and over. Beyond that this mornings how was a typical Thursday morning breakfast with the blues show filled with some of my favorite songs and artists.

Play List for Thursday February 19th 2009

I received sad news Wednesday afternoon that New Orleans blues artist Snooks Eaglin passed away. He certainly will be sorely missed. His ability to play a wide range of songs and his ability to perfectly understand and make the tunes his own earned him the nickname the "human jukebox." Eaglin claimed in interviews that his musical repertoire included some 2,500 songs. At live shows, he did not usually prepare set lists, and was unpredictable, even to his band mates. He played songs that come to his head, and he also took requests from the audience. Eaglin lost his sight not long after his first birthday after being stricken with glaucoma, and spent several years in the hospital with other ailments. Around the age of five Eaglin was given a guitar by his father, which he taught himself to play by listening to and playing with the radio. In 1947, at the age of 11, Eaglin won a talent contest organized by radio station WNOE by playing "Twelfth Street Rag". Three years later, he dropped out of the school for the blind to become a professional musician. In 1952, Eaglin joined the Flamingoes, a local 7-piece band started by Allen Toussaint. The Flamingoes didn't have a bass player, and according to Eaglin, he played both the guitar and the bass parts at the same time on his guitar. He stayed with The Flamingoes for several years, until their dissolution in the mid-50s. I’ve always been a huge fan of Snooks Eaglin, his music will continue to entertain and inspire listeners on Thursday morning “Breakfast with the Blues”.

Play List for Thursday February 5th 2009

Busy morning with lots of nice phone calls from some of our loyal listeners / supporters. It was a fun show, but I felt like I was chasing my tail most of the time. I played a couple from Billy Flynn’s new CD “Blues Drive”. Billy has been involved in the Chicago blues scene since the mid. 80’s. He’s performed with countless Chicago players including Jimmy Dawkins, The Legendary Blues Band. Mississippi Heat, Jody Williams, Little Arthur Duncan, Willie Kent and many more. I’m looking forward to taking this double CD home and indulging myself with a good blues recording. I did take Chris Duarte’s new CD home and I have to call’em as I see’em, or in this case as I hear’em. I became a fan of Chris Duarte when I heard his 1994 “Texas Sugar / Strat Magik” album. His SRV type style and ability was no doubt impressive. I hung in there with his 1997 “Tailspin Headwack”, which was not really a blues album, or a rock album, but there was enough good music to keep me interested and entertained. Unfortunately in my opinion he hasn’t put out a CD since 1997 that is something anyone over sixteen would want to listen to. Counting his recent release “396 Chris Duarte & Bluestone Co.” Chris Duarte has put out one loud wildly annoying CD after another. His last 5 CDs are just the same album recorded over and over. His intense, “lets see how many notes we can loudly slash out there” in a steady steam of average songs is disappointing. Chris, who is your target audience? When can we expect something more than “look at me, I’m a great guitar player listen to all this fury”. You’re almost 50, give us something new, something I can put in my stereo that doesn’t make me a nervous wreck and have my wife and kids yelling at me to turn it down. I want to be a fan again. Maybe I could be your manager.

Play List for Thursday January 29th 2009

We’ve gotten a lot of new music in over the past couple of weeks. Whether it’s a new release from a popular blues artist or a CD from someone I’ve never heard of it’s always fun to check the new stuff out. My thoughts are that if someone is willing to send our little radio station (thanks mostly to the efforts of our Sunday blues host BoogieKing Steve) their sweat and soul recorded on a disc, the least I can do is give it a listen and put it out on the airways if I can. For instance, I’ve never heard of Cookie and the Vasrantz, but when I listened to it I really liked it. Cookie has a nice voice the song selection and musicians are good. It was also nice to get something new from John Nemeth. He’s one of those guys that deserves to break through to the next level. He has the whole package, good vocals, great harp player, original tunes and a tight band. His new CD sounds good, hopefully it’ll give him some momentum. Other new CD’s that I played were Shemekia Copeland’s “Never going back” and something for an east coast group Lil’ Cliff and the Cliffhangers. The CD title “God Bless Women” and artwork inspired me to take a closer look at it. I didn’t get a chance to listen to the entire recording, but I can tell you we’ll be playing the hell out of the title track. It is a fun catchy well written tune that makes the CD worth having for that song alone. Nuff said. We’ll keep the blues rolling!

Play List for Thursday January 15th 2009

Having spent the last three weeks away from the radio station you would think that I would have a long list of songs that I wanted to play on my show when I got back into the swing of things. Truth is I decided last night that I would start my show with Debbie Davies and Deborah Coleman. This would buy me some time to look through the cabinets and pull out some more choice ditties. All in all I’d same despite my lack of pre-planning the show went fairly well. It was a fun entertaining show (I think) and I thought everything flowed together pretty well. I didn’t play much new stuff this morning, concentrating instead on some of the more familiar “mainstream” blues artists, if there is such a thing as mainstream artists in the oft-ignored blues music. It’s good to be back, and I would to thank our Sunday morning host BoogieKing Steve for coming on Christmas Day “for crying out loud” and again on New Years Day. Thank goodness for his help, I physically could not have made the 5:30 AM show on New Years Day, especially since I was puking my guts out at 3:00 AM in my front yard. I’m sure my neighbors (no question a few of them had to have heard me) were happy to see me start the New Year the same way I always do. Happy New Year!
