Jason Lee Wilson - "Big Gun"

Jason Lee Wilson's "Big Gun". I remember hearing it for the first time. It was a night like tonight: windows open, spring pushing winter aside, the smell of cut grass in the air, a warmth in the breeze. The kind of night that was made for some kind of tryst, but again there was no one there. I sat on the couch with a beer and put the record on. The opening track is "All I Need Is Your Love". The first notes resonate low and lonely, Wilson somberly sings "for years here below I have wasted it all/ watched it wash away in a slow flood of tears/ and the wrong turns I have made/ to the prisons I have stayed/ took from me oh, so precious years.... " The volume swells as his voice breaks low to high -I was blown away.

The whole record moves like that. The lyrics are heartfelt. The chord progressions effortlessly complex. The melodies pull you in around every hook. Above it all Wilson sings his ass off in a resigned passion that Ive always tried to duplicate in the shower but inevitably fail at.

Big Gun has it's share of upbeat boppers,"Smokehouse", a lyrically clever portrayal of the local folk and figureheads in the small mountain town from which he's from. "Gear Up Daddy", is a bonafide truck driving gem. Songs like "Heart Like Mine" and "Don't Sell Your Soul" possess a quiet resignation while "See The Big Man Cry" emotes a poetic melancholy that leaps from a bed of harmonies and sears a new spot in your brain. Alas, it was the last track on the record, Dylan's "Wagon Wheel" that slayed me, "rock me mama like the wind and the rain, rock me mama like a southbound train. I said, hey, hey, mama rock me..."

The music is undeniably true blue, drawing roots from Western cowboy and southeastern American folk and gospel music. The best thing about "Big Gun" is that it works as a whole. After my first play i sat smiling then almost crying as i listened to it again all the way through. and then again. and again.....

Jason Lee Wilson may very well be the closest thing to artistic heaven: the murmuring vocals, the pastoral sadness, the sweeping beauty of every tune. Traditional hillbilly poetics, mysterious and isolated. Authentic country boppers lathered in nostalgia.

I can't help but wonder what it must have been like growing up in East Tennessee, and if he knew that one day he'd write songs that would make the girls cry.

I look forward to hearing his new truck driving record.

Dead Moon Night

"Clackamas, Oregon’s Dead Moon is truly one of the most independent and revered Northwest underground bands of all time. With Fred Cole on guitar and vocals, his wife Toody on bass and vocals, and the indefatigable Andrew Loomis on drums, Dead Moon have been churning out their own indescribable brand of rock and roll for nearly 20 years now. Their dedication and love for each other and what they do make it unlikely they will be stopping anytime soon.

Fred began his recording career in 1964 with The Lords, releasing the single “Ain’t Got No Self-Respect.” Fred’s next band The Weeds released a 7” before being renamed The Lollipop Shoppe to avoid confusion with The Seeds (with whom they shared a manager). Their 1968 burner “You Must Be a Witch” was released on 7” by MCA subsidiary Uni Records and eventually landed on the first Nuggets anthology box set. The Lollipop Shoppe / Weeds configuration went on to play with the likes of The Doors, The Seeds and Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin before disbanding in 1969.

Fred and Toody met in Portland in 1966 after The Weeds ran out of gas on their way to Canada where members of the band were planning to wait out the Vietnam War. They were married in 1967, and when The Lollipop Shoppe disbanded in 1971, the couple spent some time homesteading in the Yukon, briefly lived in LA and finally landed back in Oregon, just outside of Portland, in Clackamas.

In 1987, after years spent playing in and releasing records by a dizzying succession of bands, Fred and Toody recruited Andrew Loomis to play drums for a new rock and roll band that would be stripped to its rawest essentials: electric guitar and bass with no effects, simple, powerful drumming, and tough, impassioned vocals (from both Fred and Toody). A red moon Fred and Toody saw on the way home from one of their many trips to Reno spawned the name for the new band, and Fred’s desperate, intense and haunting lyrics fit perfectly. A new label was formed (Tombstone Records: “Music Too Tough to Die”) and Dead Moon began releasing a slew of unforgettable home-recorded gems starting in 1988 with their first 7” of the oft-covered “Parchment Farm” and “Hey Joe,” followed closely by the “Don’t Burn the Fires” 7” and the full-length In The Graveyard. Fred would cut the vinyl masters to nearly Dead Moon’s entire catalog with a birthday present from Toody: the same 1954 mono lathe used to cut the The Kingsmen’s “Louie Louie.”

Over the next couple of years the band released 2 more LPs (Unknown Passage and Defiance) and 2 more 7”s of staggeringly earnest, powerful, beautiful, anthemic songs. Tunes like “Dead Moon Night,” “54/40 or Fight,” “D.O.A.,” “Dagger Moon,” “Walking on My Grave,” and “Black September” cemented the band’s sound and direction and gave them a framework of songs on which to base their tremendous live show. A candle shoved into a Jack Daniels bottle is the lone stage prop and lends the proceedings the feel of some sort of séance or ritual gathering. The group shares an embrace, a cigarette and a beer, and blaze through a set that is at once spiritual and uplifting, angry and defiant, celebratory and fun. In short, it’s everything that rock and roll is supposed to (and sometimes can) be."

I'm Just Gonna Blow My Little Mind To Bits

THE HAUNTED were an influential garage rock band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The band was formed by Jurgen Peter (guitar) in 1965 and went on to release several records before finally disbanding in 1971. They were among the first Canadian bands to achieve a level of success in their musical genre. In 1965, Jurgen Peter joined up with Bob Burgess (vocals), Al Birmingham (lead guitar), Glenn Holmes (bass), and Peter Symes (drums) to form The Haunted. Besides Jurgen Peter, the other constant band member through most of its six year history was lead guitarist Al Birmingham. The band membership that recorded the band's best known song, "1-2-5" was comprised of Al Birmingham (lead guitar), Jurgen Peter (rhythm guitar), Bob Burgess (vocals), Mason Shea (bass) and Dave Wynne (drums).

The band's first big break came after winning a Battle Of The Bands at the Montreal Forum in 1965, beating such competitors as David Clayton-Thomas and the Shays. The first prize was studio time that they used to record the two songs on their first 45rpm, 1-2-5, with Eight O'Clock This Morning as the B-side. The first pressing of this record had the band name misprinted as "The Haunted." Ironically, the later pressing with the band's name correctly spelt are now more difficult to locate. The single achieved substantial local success, making the Canadian version of the national charts (RPM Weekly Magazine) and enough attention in the U.S. to attract a U.S. pressing of the 45 on the Amy label.

Several more 7" singles, as well as a full-length self-titled LP over the next two years, which served to increase their popularity. The band grew to be one of the most in demand bands in Canada for the balance of the 1960s and into the early 1970s. Jurgen Peter decided to fold the band in 1971, commenting as follows: "We were the most sought after and highest paid Canadian band for many years. When I folded the band in 1971, I had to cancel a whole year of advance bookings and it cost me a fortune in lawyer's fees to get out of some of them." At the time of the breakup, the band had a loyal fan club with thousands of members. (from wikipedia)

Burt Allis & The Diggers - Rock, Bop, And Dig It

Back in the summer of 1971, Belgian native, Mac Bouvrie, founded his very own, Mac Records. A small label, it focused primarily on recording local rockabilly artists in and around Europe. Burt Allis was one of the first artists signed to the label.  In a 2002 interview, Mac describes first meeting Allis.

"This German lad came to me in 1974 with a cassette tape he wanted me to listen to. I really liked what I heard and I asked him which band it was. "That's me," he said, and I immediately responded with, "Damn, we gotta make a record of that!" So in 1974 we issued 'Rock-a-billy Lilly' b/w 'Dig no one else'. Both songs were written by Burt, who writes all his material himself." 

Mac continued by touching on Allis' songwriting style.

 

"When Burt Allis came to me with his own work I decided that in the future I would only issue original songs and so far I still managed to do so."

 

"Everybody's got his own ideas, the trick is to turn good ideas to good records. If an artist writes his own songs you can always find something new and personal in it and I like that a lot better than covering other peoples' songs. It fascinates me to see people have ideas that nobody else had before. Burt Allis even has his own studio in his basement where he records all his songs."

"He's really unbelievable! He must have hundreds of songs written all by himself, all in his very own rockin' fifties style. Of course some songs aren't all that good, but still it's unbelievable how Burt "pops up" these songs. All Burt's records are released as "Burt Allis and the Diggers", but in fact it's all the same person. This guy plays guitar, piano, drums, sax and bass, he's really incredible! Burt's first LP was also issued on RCA in Germany and the USA. Polydor offered Burt a contract if he was willing to record German language ballads. Burt kindly refused.. Like me, all he wants is rock 'n' roll!"

I say, rock babe, rock baby, rock...

Tampa Red & Georgia Tom - Uncle Bud (Dog-Gone Him)

Tampa Red (January 8, 1904 - March 19, 1981), born Hudson Woodbridge but known from childhood as Hudson Whittaker, was an influential American musician. He is best known as an accomplished and influential blues guitarist who had a unique single-string bottleneck style. His songwriting and his silky, polished slide technique influenced other leading Chicago blues guitarists, such as Big Bill Broonzy and Robert Nighthawk, as well as Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Mose Allison and many others. In a career spanning over 30 years he also recorded pop, R&B and hokum records.

Thomas Andrew Dorsey (July 1, 1899, Villa Rica, Georgia - January 23, 1993, Chicago). He is known as “the father of gospel music”. Earlier in his life he was a leading blues pianist under the name Georgia Tom. He learned to play the piano as a young man, and after studying music formally in Chicago, became an agent for Paramount Records. He put together a band for Ma Rainey called the Wild Cats Jazz Band in 1924.

He started out playing at rent parties with the names Barrelhouse Tom and Texas Tommy, but he was most famous as Georgia Tom, under which name he teamed up with Tampa Red to record the raunchy 1928 hit “Tight Like That”, a sensation, selling seven million copies. The two went on to record almost 90 sides, sometimes as The Hokum Boys or, with Frankie “Half Pint” Jaxon, as Tampa Red’s Hokum Jug Band.

Their partnership ended in 1932. Tampa Red remained much in demand as a session musician, and in 1934 signed to Victor Records, with whom he stayed until 1953. He formed the Chicago Five, a group of session musicians who created what became known as the Bluebird sound. By the 1940s he was playing electric guitar. In 1942 “Let Me Play With Your Poodle” was a #4 hit on Billboard’s new “Harlem Hit Parade”, forerunner of the R&B chart, and his 1949 recording “When Things Go Wrong with You (It Hurts Me Too)”, another R&B hit, was covered by Elmore James. He was ‘rediscovered’ in the late 1950s, like many other surviving early recorded blues artists such as Son House and Skip James, as part of the blues revival. His final, undistinguished, recordings were in 1960. Having become an alcoholic after his wife’s death in 1953, he died destitute in Chicago, aged 77.

Dorsey, who had already begun recording gospel music alongside blues in the mid 1920s, performed at the National Baptist Convention in 1930, and become the bandleader of two churches in the early 1930s, founded the first black gospel music publishing company, Dorsey House of Music, as well as his own gospel choir. After his first wife died in childbirth in 1932 along with his first son, he wrote his most famous song, one of the most famous of all gospel songs, “Take My Hand, Precious Lord”, which was covered by diverse artists both black and white, and was sung at the funerals of both Dr. Martin Luther King and US President Lyndon B. Johnson.

Dorsey wrote “Peace in the Valley” for Mahalia Jackson in 1937, which also became a gospel standard. He was the first African American elected to the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and also the first in the Gospel Music Association’s Living Hall of Fame. In 2002, one of his albums was added to the United States National Recording Registry. He died in Chicago, Illinois, aged 93.
