Bluesnews: D L Menard

http://bluesnewsseqld.blogspot.com/2009/05/d-l-menard.html

Wednesday, May 6, 2009. Affectionately known as "the Cajun Hank Williams,"D L. (Doris Leon) Menard was born April 14, 1932 in Erath, Louisiana, where he still lives. The only child of Acadian farmers, Menard worked in the cane fields and the cotton fields of south Louisiana as a young child. At night, he tuned in to country stations from Texas and Shreveport, Louisiana, home of the then famous "Louisiana Hayride.". 1 Louisiana Aces Special – July 1961 – The Back Door and Other Classics &#8211...2 La Port...

Bluesnews: Champion Jack Dupree

http://bluesnewsseqld.blogspot.com/2010/02/champion-jack-dupree.html

Sunday, February 21, 2010. A formidable contender in the ring before he shifted his focus to pounding the piano instead, Champion Jack Dupree often injected his lyrics with a rowdy sense of down-home humor. 1 My Woman Left Me – 1990 – Back Home in NO – Tk 6 – 3.08. Dupree's 1940-1941 output for the Columbia subsidiary exhibited a strong New Orleans tinge despite the Chicago surroundings; and his driving "Junker's Blues" was later cleaned up as Fats Domino's 1949 debut, "The Fat Man.". King Records got ho...

Bluesnews: July 2009

http://bluesnewsseqld.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Tuesday, July 7, 2009. Bluesnews 3 July 2009. Hello again. Here is another edition of a newsletter setting out all the blues news for South East Queensland. Lots of people much more talented than me have written a gazillion words about the death of Michael Jackson. I promise not to add any more. To give you an idea though of the extent that his death has dominated the music industry headlines, here is a grab of those from the Billboard website, from the day after he died. Aerosmith Drummer Pens Hard-Hitt...

Bluesnews: Earl Hooker

http://bluesnewsseqld.blogspot.com/2009/04/earl-hooker.html

Tuesday, April 28, 2009. Last session we covered pianist Pinetop Perkins. And during the course of that session we played two tracks of Perkins supporting slide guitarist Earl Hooker. That provides us with an excellent reason to cover more fully the work of that man, today. As a slide guitarist Earl Hooker was one of the best – a ‘musicians musician’ some called him. Finally and perhaps most significantly was the tuberculosis that took his life at the young age 40 in 1970. Earl Zebedee Hooker was born in...

Bluesnews: Taj Mahal

http://bluesnewsseqld.blogspot.com/2010/02/taj-mahal-today-we-are-going-to-cover.html

Sunday, February 21, 2010. Taj's interest in these wider forms was a precursor to the interests currently shown by other young bluesmen — artists like Keb' Mo', Guy Davis, Corey Harris and Alvin Youngblood Hart. 1 Mr Pitiful – 1996 – Senor Blues – Tk 13 – 2.56. Early on he developed a particular interest in African music, and his parents also encouraged him to pursue music, starting him out with classical piano lessons before he moved on to the clarinet, trombone and harmonica. Henry loved the blues &#82...

Bluesnews: Bo Diddley

http://bluesnewsseqld.blogspot.com/2009/05/bo-diddley.html

Wednesday, May 6, 2009. We got a chance to see Bo Diddley live when he visited a few years ago, and I honestly thought we would never see him pass this way again. But I am pleased to say that wewill – for he returns in two weeks to play the ECBRF and four other gigs around Australia. And so this provides a good opportunity to cover his life and work today. Launch straight into his first release on Checker label, from 1955. 1 Bo Diddley – 1955 – Hey Bo Diddley – Tk 1 – 2.11. Chuck Berry "Maybellene" (Augu...
