Lulu & The Broadsides (feat.Dayna Kurtz)

      Lulu & the Broadsides are: Dayna Kurtz- vocals,James Singelton -bass,Carlo Nucclo - drums,  Robert Mache -guitar,Glenn Hartman -keys.
   
 Lulu and the Broadsides is one of the best new bands you’ll hear at this year’s Jazz Fest. Lulu is the alter ego of the great vocalist Dayna Kurtz, singing with a heart pounding, soulful panache that reaches even further than the extraordinary emotional depths she’s regularly plumbed. She’s backed here by her longtime accompanist, guitarist Robert Mache, and a superb rhythm section of James Singleton on bass and Carlo Nuccio on drums.

He,s the King

 Lulu is a stage name Kurtz had considered since high school.
“There was a girl named Lulu who was really brave and really sexy and really cool. I always thought she had the greatest stage name ever. I’ve been writing for her and it feels like I’m writing for another person. Lulu was waiting for New Orleans to come into full flower. New Orleans has a very special kind of mojo, and to me, feminine mojo. The minute I came here I walked with a swing in my hips that I’d never walked with before.
“I felt New Orleans call to me the first time I came here,” she continues. “It’s a mystique that has taken over my life and music in a very positive way. That was when I was releasing my Secret Canon stuff, which is definitely New Orleans inspired. It was when I was starting to incorporate the R&B I love with the stuff I was doing on my own

Do Right Woman,Do Right Man

 Mache has accompanied Kurtz since before she moved to New Orleans.
“I met him on one of my first tours down here. I was doing a benefit for the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic. The Continental Drifters were on that gig. Robert offered me a place to stay, so I wound up getting really tight with him and his wife Candace. When he moved to Memphis after Katrina, he hosted a house concert for me and sat in with me. It was magic right out of the gate.”
Kurtz put the band together last year to play a blues dance, and found herself starting a whole new project.
“It was so much fun to play slow blues songs. I was always cutting 6/8 songs out of my set because I had too many of them. Then we started playing more of these blues dances. So, when I started writing again, there was maybe one song that was clearly for my solo career and the rest of them were Lulu and the Broadsides songs.”

You,re Trouble

Now Kurtz has joined the ranks of New Orleans musicians with multiple projects.
“It’s one of the reasons I was so excited about living here. An artist like Aurora Nealand—who plays like Ornette Coleman in one band and traditional New Orleans jazz in another and rockabilly in another–this is the place I want to live. I want to be able to go off on tangents and have nobody think it’s a big deal. This is the only place I’ve ever lived where that hasn’t been a problem.”

Hey Gyp

"Hey Gyp (Dig the Slowness)" is a song by Donovan. It is an altered version of the song "Can I Do It For You" by Memphis Minnie & Kansas Joe McCoy. The name "Gyp" refers to his friend Gyp Mills. It has been covered by Eric Burdon and The Animals and The Soul Survivors (as the B-side to their hit "Expressway to Your Heart"). It has also been covered by The Belfast Gypsies, Keith Shields, Santa Esmeralda, the Truth, and The Astro Zombies.

The Animals cover was released in December 1966 on their album Animalism. After the reformed band Eric Burdon & The Animals performed it on their live shows, it was released as a single under the name of the new band.

KGB - (feat.Mike Bloomfield - 1975)

Formed by Mike Bloomfield (the late lead guitarist of the Butterfield Blues Band, Bob Dylan's original guitar player and one time member of Electric Flag) and includes Carmine Appice (whose drumming credits include Vanilla Fudge, Jeff Beck, Rod Stewart and Black Sabbath) Rick Grech, bassist of both Blind Faith and Ginger Bakers Air Force and Ray Kennedy - Sax, Vocals

                                          Sail On Sailor (Wilson/Kennedy)

 KGB were the supergroup of the supergroups, the creme de la creme, a mid seventies collective featuring of the most impeccable musicians in the UK and USA, they created a controversy, a mystique and a collectability that has endured and grown for almost 30 years. Even today, rumours persist that Grech's old mucker Stevie Winwood contributed anonymously to the recordings although no one has ever confirmed this.(Rockasteria)

                                        "Baby Should I Stay Or Go" (Bloomfield/Goldberg)

 Both Bloomfield and Grech left KGB after the album's release, and the group recorded another LP, "Motion", with replacement musicians before disbanding. Bloomfield carried on through the 70s with a series of under-achieving blues albums and film soundtracks while his health declined, allegedly due to drug abuse. In November 1980.

 Bloomfield joined Bob Dylan onstage in San Francisco for a popular rendition of "Like A Rolling Stone", a song they had recorded together for "Highway 61 Revisited". Three months later, on February 15. 1981, Bloomfield, still in San Francisco, was found dead from a drug overdose. He was buried in LA- ironically, a city he disliked - and Goldberg gave the eulogy at the request of Bloomfield's family. Goldberg later declared: "I say a memorial prayer when the anniversary of his passing comes up. Not a day goes by when I don't think about him. He's still very much alive inside of me."

Stevie Ray Vaughan & Johnny Copeland - Tin Pan Alley (Montreux 1985)

 
 Stevie Ray Vaughan (Dallas (Texas), 3 oktober 1954 – Chicago (Illinois), 27 augustus 1990)

Van Eelco Gelling tot Jan Akkerman,van Jimmy Page tot Eric Clapton,van Carlos Santana tot Jeff Beck ,van Pete Towsent tot Joe Bonamassa en vele,vele andere topgitaristen ik heb ze allemaal ,,live,, in aktie gezien en vond het allemaal even mooi.
Ik heb er echter een gemist ,en mischien wel de allerbeste in zijn genre,
Stevie Ray Vaughan.Ik weet eigenlijk niet of hij ooit in Nederland heeft opgetreden.
Gelukkig is er prachtig DVD materiaal van deze gigant in omloop en zijn registratie van zijn optreden in Montreux die ik sinds kort in mijn bezit heb behoort nu al tot een van mijn favoriete concert DVD,s .Hieronder een fragment met als gast Johnny Copeland.

Gov,t Mule & Hook Herrera - Working Class Hero

            "Working Class Hero" is een nummer van John Lennon. Hij gebruikte het nummer voor zijn album John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band uit 1970.


Govt,Mule & Hook Herrera -Working Class Hero (Lennon)

"Working Class Hero" is een nummer van John Lennon. Hij gebruikte het nummer voor zijn album John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band uit 1970.
Bij het uitbrengen van het nummer had de platenmaatschappij twijfels rond de tekst:

• Keep you doped with religion and sex and tv.
• Think you're so clever and classless and free.
• But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see.

Uiteindelijk koos men om het woord "fucking" op de hoes te vervangen door een asterisk. Lennon stond erop dat expliciet vermeld werd dat dit op aandringen van de platenmaatschappij was.


As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
There's room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill,
A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.
If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.

The Allman Brothers - Woodstock 1994

                                 Dicky Betts & Warren Haynes

De komst van de DVD betekende tegelijk ook het einde van de ouderwetse video .De over een aantal jaren  met veel geduld opgenomen live opnames van festivals als o.a Pink Pop,Glastonbury ,Live Aid,Woodstock,Torhout/Werchter,prachtige uitzendingen van bv Jools Holland en RockPalast  gingen incl videospeler in een grote doos en verdwenen naar de zolder.Bij het opruimen hiervan kwam de doos weer eens tevoorschijn ,de player toch maar weer eens aangesloten.De meeste video,s blijken toch nog van een behoorlijke kwaliteit te zijn,hoewel er ook enkele het niet meer zo goed deden.Ik ben nu in het bezit van een handig apparaatje om de video,s om te zetten naar DVD .Het kost wel wat tijd maar ik ga de beste delen toch maar overzetten naar DVD. En natuurlijk zullen er ook op mijn blog delen te zien zijn.

                  Statesboro Blues

Het  Woodstock 1994 werd voor een groot gedeelte uitgezonden op RTL4 en ik heb er behoorlijk wat van opgenomen.Het optreden van de AllmanBrothers was voor mij toch wel een van de hoogtepunten. Mooi is de interactie tussen Dicky Betts en Warren Haynes.
Warren en bassist Allan Woody zou we later weer tegenkomen in Govt Mule wat tegenwoordig weer een van mijn favoriete bands is.  Allan is helaas  op  26 Augustus 2000 overleden.

Van Morrison - "On Hyndford Street"

Number 125 Hyndford Street, in east Belfast, doesn’t look like the cradle of a lifetime’s dreams, memories and associations. It’s a tiny, blank-faced two-up-two-down terrace house, no different from any of the other red-brick homes alongside it. That’s apart from the discreet plaque beside the front door, which announces that Van Morrison was born here on August 31st, 1945.

His father, George, was an electrician at the nearby Harland and Wolff shipyard; more significantly, George was also a keen collector of jazz and blues records, which he bought from a man called Solly Lipsitz, who owned Atlantic Records on High Street.

Over his songwriting career Morrison has returned again and again, in spirit, to his childhood home and its nearby streets, rivers and parks, and these places have never lost their hold on his imagination.

                  "On Hyndford Street"
                                                         Big hand for the band":
                                                         Dave Keary (Guitar)
                                                         Paul Moore (Bass)
                                                         Paul Moran (Keyboards)
                                                         Bobby Ruggiero (Drums)
                                                         Dana Masters (Vocals)

                          "On Hyndford Street"

Take me back, take me way, way, way back
On Hyndford Street
Where you could feel the silence at half past eleven
On long summer nights
As the wireless played Radio Luxembourg
And the voices whispered across Beechie River
In the quietness as we sank into restful slumber in the silence
And carried on dreaming, in God
And walks up Cherry Valley from North Road Bridge, railway line
On sunny summer afternoons
Picking apples from the side of the tracks
That spilled over from the gardens of the houses on Cyprus Avenue
Watching the moth catcher working the floodlights in the evenings
And meeting down by the pylons
Playing round Mrs. Kelly's lamp
Going out to Holywood on the bus
And walking from the end of the lines to the seaside
Stopping at Fusco's for ice cream
In the days before rock 'n' roll
Hyndford Street, Abetta Parade
Orangefield, St. Donard's Church
Sunday six-bells, and in between the silence there was conversation
And laughter, and music and singing, and shivers up the back of the neck
And tuning in to Luxembourg late at night
And jazz and blues records during the day
Also Debussy on the third programme
Early mornings when contemplation was best
Going up the Castlereagh hills
And the cregagh glens in summer and coming back
To Hyndford Street, feeling wondrous and lit up inside
With a sense of everlasting life
And reading Mr. Jelly Roll and Big Bill Broonzy
And "Really The Blues" by "Mezz" Mezzrow
And "Dharma Bums" by Jack Kerouac
Over and over again
And voices echoing late at night over Beechie River
And it's always being now, and it's always being now
It's always now
Can you feel the silence?
On Hyndford Street where you could feel the silence
At half past eleven on long summer nights
As the wireless played Radio Luxembourg
And the voices whispered across Beechie River
And in the quietness we sank into restful slumber in silence
And carried on dreaming in God.
