Mooi optreden van Jimmy Lafave en zijn band op een wat sombere woensdagavond in Porgy & Bess in Terneuzen

                 Queen Jane Approximatly(Dylan)

Een optreden van Jimmy betekent prachtige luisterliedjes, Bob Dylan covers, subtiel gitaarwerk, weinig conversatie en als altijd prima begeleiders

                 Blues
Gelegenheid om bandleden Radoslav Lorković (piano,accordeon) en John Inmon te laten exelleren.

 De covers zijn meestal van Bob Dylan ,maar tot mijn grote verrassing werd de avond geopend met een Neil Young nummer Journey Through The Past in een bijzonder mooie uitvoering.

Duster Bennett(23 September 1946 – 26 March 1976

Anthony "Duster" Bennett (23 September 1946 – 26 March 1976) was a British blues singer and musician


Bring it on home (Live in Paris Sept.10 1970)

Bennett was born in Welshpool, Powys, Mid Wales. Emerging in the late sixties from the art school music scene of Kingston-upon-Thames and Guildford, Bennett was a one-man blues band whose virtuosity and co-ordination on drums, guitar and harmonica was as riveting as it was unique. His live sets combined his own compositions with Jimmy Reed-style blues standards often aided by friends Peter Green and Top Topham. He was a session musician in the early 1960s playing harmonica. Between 1968 and 1970 he seemed ever-present on John Peel's Top Gear and Sunday-repeated-on-Wednesday shows, gigged prodigiously and eventually joined John Mayall's Bluesbreakers as band member/solo act on a US tour in 1970. In the 1970s he drifted off into more whimsical mainstream material, but never landed the hit record his catchy and accessible tunes deserved.


My babe

His music was country blues with the occasional gospel offering. He recorded three albums and a string of singles for Blue Horizon. Bright Lights was recorded live at his beloved Gin Mill Club. He was very popular amongst the blues cognoscenti, while his legacy on Smiling Like I'm Happy was the haunting Jumping at Shadows, subsequently covered by Fleetwood Mac and revived in 1992 by Gary Moore, who covered it in his "After Hours" album. It is considered by some to be one of the best blues compositions penned on the east side of the Atlantic. Attempts to gain wider appeal with Mickie Most were unsuccessful. For decades, a clutch of live and home recordings on Indigo seemed to be all that remained of his work in the CD public domain until the 2006 first-time CD release of the Complete Blue Horizon Sessions reminded fans of what had been lost.


Let it shine with John Mayall & The Bluesbrakers


After performing with Memphis Slim on 26 March 1976, Bennett was driving home in a Ford Transit van in Warwickshire when he apparently fell asleep at the wheel. The van collided with a truck and Bennett was killed.

Peter Green,Duster,BBKing

Over in Europe there were also earlier pioneers who heard and spread the music. In the UK, Alexis Korner, Long John Baldry and many others, too have long since passed. Celmins’ “Jumping at Shadows” tells the story of the tragically short life of one who followed in those footsteps. The title, itself, is the first clue. “Jumping at Shadows” is his most enduring song, recorded several times and made his own by blues rocker Gary Moore. The author of that song has a story well worth following up. It’s a story tied up with the early British blues scene, along with much better known names – the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, John Mayall and Fleetwood Mac.

The writer of “Jumping at Shadows” was Tony ‘Duster’ Bennett. Martin Celmins, who has also written a biography of Peter Green, has compiled a detailed account of Bennett’s short life. Bennett died in a road accident in 1976 at the age of 30.

Barrelhouse - Kwadendamme Blues Festival (13-5-2017)

 Het Kwadendamme Bluesfestival vierde dit jaar zijn 25 jarig jubileum. Aanleiding voor de organisatoren om artiesten  en bands uit te nodigen die al eerder hier op het podium hadden gestaan.
Het zal een moeilijke keuze zijn geweest ,maar ik was in ieder geval blij dat Barrelhouse  door de selektie was gekomen .Al jaren een van mijn favoriete bands ,en ook al jaren behorend tot de top van de Nederlandse Bluesscene.



Barrelhouse - Kwadendamme Blues Festival (13-5... door  morrisanddylan


Tijdens mij jarenlange concertbezoeken ben ik Barrelhouse al diverse malen tegengekomen ,en de band stelt mij  nooit teleur.Bijzonder is ,dat de band ,opgericht in 1974,na een korte onderbreking,zo,n 40 jaar in dezelfde samenstelling bij elkaar is. Meer dan 2000 optredens hebben ze achter de rug ,maar van verzadiging is niks te merken, de muziek staat na al die tijd nog steeds als een huis.

Ook deze avond stelde de band weer niet teleur.Tineke Schoemaker zong als vanouds,Johnny en Guus Laporte namen om beurten de solopartijen voor hun rekening of verzorgden mooi samenspel.Pianist Hans van Dam vult het geheel op met  piano, maar soleerde er ook lustig op los.Dat allemaal ondersteund door de rythmsectie van Jan Willem Sligting op bas/double bas en Bob Dros op drums.

Bovenstaand beelden zijn wat beeld en geluid betreft niet geweldig ,maar geven toch een indruk van het mooie optreden op deze avond.Wat mij betreft een van de hoogtepunten van een toch weer zeer geslaagd festival. Ik hoorde ook nog dat de band genomineerd is voor de Edison Publieksprijs en ik ben verbaasd was dat dat nog niet eerder gebeurd is.Voor het stemmen, kijk even op de side van de band.

Johnny Winter - Be Careful With A Fool (Danish TV -1970)

John Dawson Winter III (February 23, 1944 – July 16, 2014), known as Johnny Winter, was an American musician, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer. Best known for his high-energy blues-rock albums and live performances in the late 1960s and 1970s, Winter also produced three Grammy Award-winning albums for blues singer and guitarist Muddy Waters. After his time with Waters, Winter recorded several Grammy-nominated blues albums. In 1988, he was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame and in 2003, he was ranked 63rd in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".

    Be Careful With A Fool (album Johnny Winter)

• Uncle John Turner –drums
• Tommy Shannon – bass

 Johnny Winter is Johnny Winter's second studio album, released in 1969. UK CBS issued this with nine tracks in late 1969 in both stereo and mono (S63619/M63619). This album may have been intended as a Quadraphonic album as a four-channel reel was prepared but to this day remains unreleased.

Pacific Gas & Electric - Are You Ready

Pacific Gas & Electric was an American blues rock band in the late 1960s and early 1970s, led by singer Charlie Allen. Their biggest hit was the gospel-tinged "Are You Ready?" in 1970.
The band was formed in Los Angeles in 1967, by guitarist Tom Marshall, bassist Brent Block, lead guitarist Glenn Schwartz (formerly of The James Gang) and drummer Charlie Allen, who had previously played in the band Bluesberry Jam. When it became clear that Allen was the best singer in the new group, he became the front man, and Frank Cook, previously of Canned Heat, came into the band on drums. Originally known as the Pacific Gas and Electric Blues Band, they shortened their name when they signed to Kent Records, releasing the album Get It On in early 1968. The record was not a success, but following the band's performance at the Miami Pop Festival in May 1968 they were signed by Columbia Records.

    Are You Ready,

 Their first album for Columbia, Pacific Gas and Electric, was issued in 1969, but they achieved greater success with their next album, Are You Ready, in 1970. The title track "Are You Ready?" reached #14 on the Billboard Hot 100. After the album was recorded, Cook was injured in a car accident and was replaced on drums by Ron Woods, Cook staying on as manager. Marshall and Schwartz left and were replaced by Frank Petricca (bass) and Ken Utterback (guitar), with Brent Block moving to rhythm guitar before leaving later in 1970. Unusually for the time, the band contained both black and white musicians, which led to rioting and gunfire on one occasion when the band, who toured widely, performed in Raleigh, North Carolina.

In 1971, the band changed their name to PG&E, following pressure from the utility company of the same name. The band also expanded, Allen, Woods, Petricca and Utterback being joined by Jerry Aiello (keyboards), Stanley Abernathy (trumpet), Alfred Galagos and Virgil Gonsalves (saxophones), and Joe Lala (percussion). They recorded the album PG&E, and also appeared in and provided music for the Otto Preminger film Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon starring Liza Minnelli. The band then split up. A final album using the name, Pacific Gas & Electric Starring Charlie Allen, was recorded by Allen with studio musicians and released on the Dunhill label in 1973.^[2][3] For a time the group also included Rick Durrett formerly of the band The Coven on keyboards.^{[citation needed]}
Tom Marshall later suffered deteriorating health and personal circumstances, being homeless since the 1980s. Frank Petricca became a commodity broker. Charlie Allen died on 7 May 1990, aged 48.

JJ Cale - Magnolia

   John Weldon "J. J." Cale (December 5, 1938 – July 26, 2013) was an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Though he deliberately avoided the limelight (being temperamentally averse to celebrity)^[2] his influence as a musical artist has been widely acknowledged by figures such as Mark Knopfler, Neil Young, and Eric Clapton, who described him as "one of the most important artists in the history of rock".He is considered to be one of the originators of the Tulsa Sound, a loose genre drawing on blues, rockabilly, country, and jazz.

    Magnolia (album Naturally)

Naturally is the debut album by J. J. Cale. First released in 1972, it includes his song "After Midnight", which had been recorded first by Eric Clapton in 1970. Cale, who was languishing in obscurity at the time, had no knowledge of Clapton's recording of "After Midnight" until it became a radio hit in 1970. Cale recalled to Mojo magazine that when he heard Clapton's version playing on his radio, "I was dirt poor, not making enough to eat and I wasn't a young man. I was in my thirties, so I was very happy. It was nice to make some money."Cale's friend and producer, Audie Ashworth, encouraged Cale to record a full album in order to capitalize on the success of his song.

The Eagles - Tequilia Sunrise

"Tequila Sunrise" is a 1973 song written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey, and recorded by the Eagles. It was the first single from the band's second album Desperado.^[2] The song peaked at number 64 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Glenn Frey and Don Henley did not write songs together for their debut album Eagles, and they decided that they should collaborate after they had finished recording the debut album. According to Frey, he was lying on a couch playing the guitar, and came up with a guitar riff he described as "kinda Roy Orbison, kinda Mexican". He showed Henley the guitar riff and said: "Maybe we should write something to this." The title refers to a cocktail named Tequila Sunrise that was then popular.

The Tequila Sunrise is a cocktail made of tequila, orange juice, and grenadine syrup and served unmixed in a tall glass. The modern drink originates from Sausalito in the early 1970s, after an earlier one created in the 1930s in Phoenix, near Scottsdale. The cocktail is named for its appearance when served, with gradations of color resembling a sunrise.
