• SE 5 Ep 16 - ZZ Top Classic Album Feature - Fandango

  “One of the world's greatest rock 'n' roll bands ever to strut the 50 States, these sharp-dressed Texas titans-Billy F. Gibbons, Frank Beard, and Dusty Hill-are a righteously hell raisin' power trio boasting a 30-plus year hit-making legacy, both in the studio and at concert arenas. With their revved up blues 'n' boogie, they always make the most of their Texas birthright with with a distinctive sound that shakes up rock, blues, soul, garage-funk, Americana, and more. Nowhere is their force of nature musicianship better displayed than on this classic album, revved up with red-hot bonus rarities. "You know what I'm talkin' about...an how how how how."With ZZ Tops mega Australian tour coming to a close, I’m into the final chapter of my deep dive into the bands earliest releases. This week featuring 1975s chart topper Fandango. Plus new releases from Taj Mo, Janiva Magness, Jon Cleary, Bobby Rush & Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Charlie Musselwhite, John Primer, Tad Robinson, Carolyn Wonderland, Poppa Chubby, Hat Fitz & Cara, Larry McCray, Brandon Santini and Hussy Hicks.

• SE 5 Ep 15 - Classic Album Feature - On the Jimmy Reed Highway - Omar Kent Dykes & Jimmie Vaughan

  On the Jimmy Reed Highway began as an Omar Kent Dykes album, but once Jimmie Vaughan came into the studio “the songs took on their own life,” remembers Omar. “I figured Jimmie would come in and play a couple of solos, but he got so excited about it he stayed for the rest.” Ain't nobody can do Jimmy Reed like Jimmy Reed could. But this drive down Jimmy Reed Highway with fellow Mississippian Kent "Omar" Dykes at the wheel with Jimmie Vaughan riding shotgun and folks like, Kim Wilson, Miss Lou Ann Barton, James Cotton, Delbert McClinton, and Gary Clark, Jr., joining the duo, comes mighty close. Joe Nick PatoskiWith the news of the pending release of “On the Jimmy Reed Highway” for the first time on vinyl, I thought it might be fun to feature this classic from 2007. Plus new releases from TajMo, Southern Avenue, Jon Cleary, Charlie Musselwhite, Bobby Rush & Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Janiva Magness, Larry McCray, John Primer, Hussy Hicks, Tad Robinson, Johnny Rawls, Carolyn Wonderland and Brandon Santini.

• SE 5 Ep 14 - Clarence Gatemouth Brown Classic Album Feature – Back To Bogalusa

  The center of Clarence Gatemouth Brown's taste is post-World War II jump blues and R&B with a distinctly Southwestern feel. Tasty as his guitar playing is, he likes to add horns and even a bit of country fiddle to the mix. As its title indicates, Back to Bogalusa particularly investigates the Louisiana influences… notably on the tracks "Going Back to Louisiana," "Breaux Bridge Rag," "Bogalusa Boogie Man," and the Cajun-styled "Louisian'." He adds in some sympathetic songs by writers of a later generation, notably "Lie No Better," co-written by Delbert McClinton and Little Feat's "Dixie Chicken," co-written by Lowell George. And he sounds most at home in the funky instrumentals "Grape Jelly" and "Slap It”… with a singing and playing ability that belies his years he sounds like he's having a wonderful time. Allmusic With Jazzfest in New Orleans in full swing, I’m thrilled to present for you this week, this quite wonderful classic from Clarence Gatemouth Brown.Plus new releases from Jon Cleary, Tad Robinson, Hussy Hicks, Davis Coen, Bernard Allison, Kid Ramos, Southern Avenue, Larry McCray, TajMo, Carolyn Wonderland and Bob Corritore.

• SE 5 Ep 13 - The Paladins Classic Artist Feature & Interview

  "Basic and bare-boned West Coast jump blues, down home Texas grit, and Memphis rockabilly . . . wild, funky and menacing."-- Guitar Player "Sizzling roots rock . . . gutbucket power . . . no-holds-barred excitement."-- Billboard Music writers have likened The Paladins' high-energy blend of rock 'n' roll, R&B, swing and rockabilly to the music of Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Fabulous Thunderbirds and other hard-working roadhouse rock bands. A Washington Post critic may have described The Paladins' music best, however, when he wrote, "If musicianship, dedication, soul and the ability to express raw emotion were all you needed to gain fame and wealth, The Paladins would be known in every home in the land, and they'd have enough money to buy New York." With Bluesfest making a highly successful return over the Easter weekend here in Australia, I’m casting my ears back to the earliest days of the festival and revisting the band that changed it all for me, the Paladins. Featuring three of the bands earliest records Years Since Yesterday, Lets Buzz and Ticket Home. And to put it in context, I’ll throw in some choice cuts from my interview with the bands Dave Gonzales. Plus new releases from Jon Cleary, Southern Avenue, Tommy Castro, Kid Ramos, Bernard Allison, GA 20, Early James, Bob Corritore and plenty more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

• SE 5 Ep 12 - Smokey Wilson - Classic Album Feature

  “Smokey is difficult if not impossible to categorize. Possessor of a powerful voice, he can bellow like Wolf or cry sweetly like B.B. King. Smokey's guitar playing is equally diverse as he romps through the stylings of Elmore James and Jimmy Reed (which Smokey calls "countryfied blues") one song and then polished urban blues the next. He also digs into the soulful side a la Z.Z. Hill and Tyrone Davis, which was extremely popular with the patrons of the Pioneer Club. Smokey's singing and playing bear the influences of these greats, not by impersonation, but by the fact that Smokey is the genuine article.” With Bluesfest beginning this week with easter upon us. I’m reeling back the years to revisit this 1983 classic by Smokey Wilson 8th Street Blues. Plus new releases by Jon Cleary, Bob Corritore, Kid Ramos, TajMo, Bernard Allison, Early James, Southern Avenue, Polythythmics, Tommy Castro, GA20, Eric Johanson and Frank Bey.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
