Syl Johnson

AMG Wrote:

A rollicking vocalist and gifted harmonica player, Syl Johnson has forged a career in both blues and soul. The brother of bassist Mac Thompson and guitarist/vocalist Jimmy Johnson, Syl Johnson sang and played with blues artists Magic Sam, Billy Boy Arnold, and Junior Wells in the '50s before recording with Jimmy Reed for Vee-Jay in 1959. He made his solo debut that same year with Federal. Johnson toured with Howlin' Wolf from late 1959 until 1962, when Willie Mitchell signed him to Hi Records. Johnson recorded for both Twilight and Hi in the late '60s and early '70s, clicking with the dance/novelty cut "Come on Sock It to Me" and crackling message track "Is It Because I'm Black?" He had his biggest hit with "Take Me to the River" in 1975, reaching number seven on the R&B charts. Johnson later recorded for Shama and Boardwalk.

And, one more just to show there is no rhyme nor reason to my musical tastes, here's my favorite Western Swing artist. He's famous in some circles for his instrumental tracks featuring some fine fiddle playing, but this set leans more heavily on the vocal tracks which I tend to prefer.

And, in case you didn't know, ol' Spade was actually convicted of stomping and strangling his wife to death. He died backstage after his first public performance in over a decade upon his release.

Gangsta!

His picture hangs up on the walls at Cain's Ballroom.

Plus,his grandson?

The Pogues and TMTCH came from the same background. TMTCH are not as rough-and-ready, being more like Spider than Shane but damn if they don't have some fine, fine songs and wisdom-through-failures beauty in both word and sound.

Had a hard time leaving off at least 20 other songs.

Hope they get at least one new fan through this tenner.

Lee "Scratch" Perry ( and sometimes with the Upsetters)

Some of these will have the definite Dub ambient knobbing while some are straight forward skanking(with the Upsetters). The lead in banter is hilarious. This is about as accessible as Dub gets for an intro before getting into the Sticky realm.

Nice. Haven't head the new one yet. "Decline And Fall Of The Clerkenwell Kid" and "Bring The Body Back Home" should be themes to something.

You know I thought I read about that somewhere, but now I think my head just put some themes together because I can't seem to find an interview regarding them.

I'm back in the game with a massive one:

Steve Reich

I remember randomly stumbling upon The Desert Music and Different Trains/Electric Counterpoint at a used music store. They were filed under contemporary/pop and I was intrigued by the cover. Listened to the first few minutes of The Desert Music and fell in love. Have since acquired a number of his albums, and now giggle at the used music store that filed him under pop instead of classical. Minimalism, phasing, and counterpointing.

(He's the one in the black cap... probably partaking in a performance of his composition Drumming)

01. First Movement (Fast) (The Desert Music)
02. Come Out (Early Works)
03. America - Before the War (Different Trains/Electric Counterpoint)
04. You Are What Your Thoughts Are (You Are (Variations))
05. Percussion (The Four Sections)
06: Section 11 (Music for 18 Musicians)
07. Octet (Another Look At Counterpoint)
08. Electric Counterpoint (Different Trains/Electric Counterpoint)
09. Third Movement (Triple Quartet)
10. After the War (Different Trains/Electric Counterpoint)

Just to note, I have two other CDs from him that are not represented here, largely because they are only a few movements, of ~20-25 minutes each. It doesn't make sense to put half of an album on a mix, like I'd be doing with Drumming or Tehilum.

Also, uploaded via Rapidshare, since the zipped file still exceeded Mediafire's size limit of 100MB.

Vulgar Boatmen

There's a bit of innocence to this group. They come out of Illinois/Indy area and only have 2 albums I am aware of. They have some imports I can't find with one particular song that would be a great addition. It's simple plains rock well crafted. Its not slick more like living room recorded. Christgau wrote somewhat praisingly "if not sweet tunes, then sharp lines or even driving grooves. . . so cannily generalized they make the polite romantic disconnections of academia stand in for those of all white middle-class America." Yeah, its simple sweet, melodic, innocent . . . maybe blah enough to enjoy!
