Any time heard this in a college bar, after "and she was", during those 8 or so beats without any vocals, some sorority would chant their letters.  I can't remember if it was one particular sorority or different ones.  Regardless, I can't hear the song any more without hearing that chant in my head.

 
Got to say Grant Lee Buffalo, Grant Lee Phillips specifically, is criminally underrated.

Everyone says “criminally underrated” but I mean it, if you don’t like this guy you should go to jail.

Hip hop is not my genre at all but...

What's Up Danger by Blackway/Black Caviar is awesome.

And, yes, it's only because I heard it in Into The Spider Verse that I heard it.

Hey man, if I had a nickel for every commercial/movie/television show that turned me onto a song...

 
April 5th is the annual Nirvana and Alice in Chains day.  Been through Bleach, AIC self titled, and Unplugged in NY so far.  Onto Jar of Flies now and will queue up Live in Reading for the lunch run.

Listening to the 2nd link, I know very little about RL other than he was an old school blues guy. I assume this track was put together by a producer or did he actually embrace this modern style late in life? It's great- reminds of the Sopranos theme or something by the Kills.

i think he was a totally underground blues guy his whole life and then a newer artist started working with him late in life (Jon Spencer, maybe?)  Love, love, love his stuff.

This vid was great too. Do we have any thread here that cover this theme: STUDY THE GREATS?

If not, we should.

Excellent analysis.

..Fat Possum Records signed Burnside and recorded a number of albums with the aging farmer/bluesman. Then, around the late 90's, musician John Spencer did a pilgrimage to Burnside's musical backyard and recorded an album with him entitled ### Pocket Full of Whiskey. Burnside's hypnotic hill country blues, by now electrified, was a strange but intriguing mix with Spencer's more avant garde punk inflected style. More young, white blues enthusiasts were now sitting at Burnside's feet. Namely, Akron, Ohio's The Black Keys who were picking up on Burnside's catchy melodies and heavy riffs.

The next time Burnside sauntered into the studio, the lads at Fat Possum had a radical idea...totally rethink the blues and market to this new punk/blues crowd that looked to the quiet farmer from Holly Springs as their disciple. The affable Burnside was up for it and, with his young grandson Cedric and long time guitarist Kenny Brown, he laid down some hard core hill country blues.  The producers and engineers then broke it all down and built it back up. The result, like the record, was mixed...and the reception was the same. Then, just as it seemed like the experiment may have failed, another funny thing happened, the cats on the Class-A show, The Sopranos, picked up one of the songs from the album and featured it prominently in one of their episodes. Suddenly, at 60+ years of age, Burnside had a new audience. Suddenly he was a badge of hipness for the PBR drinking, trucker-hat hipsters that were in constant search for the next cool thing. Burnside was as hip as a western shirt with snap buttons, Pabst Blue Ribbon from a can, and tattoos of Betty Paige.

From this link: On The Flip-Side - Song of the Week: "It's Bad You Know", R.L. Burnside

The dancin' in the vid is my favs. 🙂

Here is the great Skip James, he first recorded back in the early 30's, had some dispute over $$$$$, so gave up his music.  He was rediscovered in the early 60's.  He is always put in  THE DELTA but he was from Bentonia some ways from what is considered the delta.  He is a true legend in them old prewar blues. He also plays the piano.

Lacy only recorded one record, then dropped that ...devil's music....for the ministry.  I almost met the guy, ya see he moved out here to Cali settled in Bakersfield, a 40 minute drive, but before I headed off to find him, found out he had died....bummer.

I first got into blues via Jimi Hendrix. He became my fav artist when I was a Jr. in HS.

After listen'n to him for a few years, I tried to delve deeper into his influences. As this was also before the I-Net became useful for such things ('85), I fumbled about a lot - resulted in a mish-mash of artists - good stuff for the most part, but it was hit-and-miss.

Since then, I became familiar with the really well known stuff and a little bit of the lesser known - like RL.

It's about time I finished that research I wanted to do so long ago.

HAH! That is awesome.

Joplin, Dylan & Stones for me also-----plus Led Zep, John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, Cream, Allman Bros, Stevie Ray, ZZ Top (mostly early stuff - kinda lost me with Eliminator), Doors, George Thorogood, Robin Trower & a little bit of Johnny Winter. All these were my favs in the period leadin' up to my deeper look - that needs more lookin'.

Oh - will get the book - I'm in the middle of a long book series right now, that requires breaks now & again - kinda lets it seep it. This book will make a perfect break.

✌️

Damn~!

Dude, yes yes yes yes and yes, all those on my must listen to list,  along with Dr. John, Joe Cocker, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Canned Heat, The Grateful Dead, The Band, Country Joe and The Fish.

TONS...of pictures in the book, very nicely done, and it's all there.

Great list.

Dr. John, I got into -  finally in my 30s. I was pulled in by a version of Sweet Home New Orleans that was released on the Hurricane Katrina charity album (can't remember name or artists involved - I just heard on radio). This is not the version - cause I can't find it anywhere without paying for it. The main difference on my preferred version, is a longer ending with the "Home Sweet Home" refrain - very beautiful.

Dead finally came to me in my early 20's - lotsa trippin' goin' on for me then. 

Cocker, Canned Heat, The Band, Country Joe and The Fish came around the time I was already lookin' inta blues - so, I can't list em as inspirin' me, but they made my list very soon afterwards.

Paul Butterfield Blues Band I need to look into.

Dr. John nails it there, his GRIS GRIS CD,  a.....interesting.

The 60's a HUGE difference from those Doo *** vocal groups and rockabilly of the 50's, not that I don't dig that also own about all of it.

Canned Heat took that name from an old Tommy "Sold My Soul To The Devil" Johnson, tune..."Canned Heat"....it was some weird alcohol mix.

Paul Butterfield a must listen as is William Clark, James Harman and Robert Lucas.

Paul Butterfield Blues Band - Driftin' Blues (Monterey 1967) - this is on my pc now - will go to the others as well.

Very cool story on the Canned Heat name - I like Tommy J (the little I've listened to), but never knew this story.

Yeah - I like Doo *** and rackabilly (esp - Man of Contant Sorrow - tho not quite "rock") - but I agree on your preference. The electricity of 60's + really hits me harder.

Re: Gris Gris - I love whole album, but this is my fav: I Walk On Guilded Splinters

That;s not what Butterfield does best, give.....Get Out of My Life Woman (Lee Dorsey cover)  a listen.

This is the original Driftin' Blues by the great Charles Brown.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUyC2l--fSw

Gris Gris was unique and yes you nailed the star of the show.  Youtube Papa Mali doing his version of Guilded Splinters.

Tommy Johnson, Son House, Willie Brown, Charley Patton and Ishman Bracey the fathers of them Delta Blues, recorded blues that is, those who taught them...????
