Joe Bonamassa Premieres Spike Driver Blues
Don't panic - This IS a dark video - it ACTUALLY begins IN THE DARK - with Joe mysteriously appearing out of NOWHERE, and it stays deeply dark and MOODY - much like the intense feeling of the song itself.I am so proud to present to you, for the first time ever, Joe Bonamassa performing "Spike Driver Blues," which I shot at a LIVE performance in Southern California on August 7, 2008. Originally written by Mississippi John Hurt, "Spike Driver Blues" becomes nearly the polar opposite of Mr. Hurt's gentle, acoustic version in the very capable hands of Joe Bonamassa. This song is HARD DRIVING BLUES ROCK AT ITS VERY BEST!!! Of course, what else would we expect from the brilliant mind and the gifted hands of Joe Bonamassa, THE WORLD'S BEST BLUES ROCK GUITARIST??!!! Nothing less, indeed. We are hopeful that this gem will wind up on the NEW studio album Joe is currently working on.The guitar Joe used on this song was a Stonetree Baritone ( http://www.stonetreeguitars.com/home.htm ) , and the device seen in the close-up shots is a Theremin - an early electronic instrument which requires NO TOUCH and gives us the exquisitely strange effects you will hear when Joe waves his hands near the antenna. Please forgive the slight hitch at about 5 min.,30 sec. - my camera stopped recording mid-song and I had to splice it together as best I could. Be kind. This is my first youtube posting - EVER. ENJOY!!!!! Need more JOE?? Of course you do!!! Go check out http://jbonamassa.com/index.html or www.jbonamassa.comAnd, PLEASE, DO NOT miss the NEW DOUBLE CD "Joe Bonamassa - LIVE from Nowhere in Particular" which is being released this very week. It is ALMOST like being there!!!! And I should KNOW!!!You may order a copy through this link:http://www.jbonamassa.com/affiliates/idevaffiliate.php?id=144 [ More Detail ]

Joe Valino - Learnin' the Blues
My father Joe Techner's only attempt to be a contractor in the music business came in 1954 for South Philly vocalist Joe Valino (born Paolino). My dad hired the musicians and studio for Valino's "Learnin' the Blues" and "Lonely Boy" on the Gold Star label.In a November 15, 2000 Philadelphia Weekly article, Carmen Dee -- who my dad later worked for at Palumbo's -- remarked that Valino's career was damaged because he dissed Sinatra. The article goes on to try and figure out how this could be. Dee was quite right. Apparently the writer did not know the details that Valino's relative and I had discussed two years earlier. On August 23, 1998, I met Valino's niece, Lisa Paolino at her home. I tracked her down through her "Timeless" CD of her uncle's music. Valino died in 1996 with no surviving children. Lisa had all of her beloved uncle's music and effects. We spent the evening together and then she told me what my father had told me years before. Sinatra heard the demo and sent goons down to Philly to pressure Valino to give up the song. Joe was beat up.The public first heard the demo on the popular Grady and Hurst WPEN radio show in Philadelphia. They took it to Sinatra who said, "This is for me. It's perfectly suited for my style." Sinatra didn't have a hit for some time and needed a boost. "They say when Sinatra heard it, he made it and Capitol had it out in something like 5 days," reported Betty Burtt of the Granite State Free Press (Lebanon, NH), May 12, 1955. Valino's recording of "Learnin' the Blues" was hexed. The 2000 Philadelphia Weekly story was entitled, "The Sad Song of Joe Valino." It could just have well been called, "The Sad Song of Joe Valino and Joe Techner." My father had difficulty getting money from Valino to pay the band. Joe had to borrow from his father to pay the musicians. Joe then went to Local 77. With the union's pressure, Valino eventually paid. In a April 9, 2008 City Paper article, Lisa said the "Learnin' the Blues" recording was made at his mother's house. This is not true as my father had to contract a studio for the demo with the following personnel: Joe Techner, trumpet; Jerry Gilgor, drums; Gene Kutch, piano; Vince Forrest (Forchetti) -- Trombone; Ace Tesone -- Bass. Sax was either Mike Goldberg and/or Al Steel.My father was very much involved in the Valino recording. He and Valino went to the composer's home to listen to the selection played on the piano. The song was written by Vicki Silvers, a Havertown housewife and mother listed as "Dolores Silvers" on the Gold Star record. She was known as Vicki Hollander when she won Miss Press Photographer of 1948. On March 31, 1955, The Philadelphia Daily News reported Dolores as 25 years old and the daughter of "Philadelphia's one-time great ragtime pianist" Arthur di'Tullio.With this information, I did the following research that appears to be our Dolores "Vicki" Silvers:The 1930 Federal Census shows that Arthur di"Tullio was an Italian-born furniture upholsterer living at 2119 Hunting Park Avenue in Philadelphia. His daughter Dolores was 1 year and 4 months old when the enumerator visited the household on April 5, 1930. The Social Security death database lists a Dolores Silvers born November 7, 1928 with card issued in Pennsylvania. She died December 16, 2007 in Valrico, Hillsborough Co., Florida. Her age on April 5, 1930 was 1 year, 4 months and 30 days!The above articles seem to explain why Sinatra sent reps down to muscle Valino. The Daily News article was entitled, 'Blues' Record Hit Dazes Young Mother' which stated, "The moment the word got out that Sinatra would record it, offers from music publishers poured in to Vicki. She turned down half a dozen before she agreed to place her song with Barton Music, owned by Sinatra, and managed by Ben Bartin, music business veteran and father of Eileen Barton, recording star."My guess is that Valino wanted Silvers to go with another publisher in which he had an interest.Sinatra may have also suppressed Gold Star. Betty Burtt reported, "Gold Star, which for some reason seemed in no hurry to get it out and around: my requests for it got nowhere."Burtt suspected Sinatra interference. On May 13,1955, she privately wrote, "unless the Gold Star record was intended as a demo (of sorts) for Sinatra -- and with Mr. V.'s knowledge -- I think he got a raw deal and I'm still sizzling, - and I still think he has the best version..." This is from a note in Valino's scrapbook. Thanks to Lisa Paolino for re-contacting me and sharing the clippings! She said Silvers lived in Ocean City, NJ but "spent time in Florida." She also said she found a music sheet marked "Gene Kutch 1954" showing it was originally "Learned the Blues." Silvers first copyrighted the song 2-24-55. [ More Detail ]

Roots of Blues -- Big Joe Williams „Meet Me Around The Corner
„Meet Me Around The Corner"(Williams)Big Joe Williams (born Joseph Lee Williams, October 16, 1903 - December 17, 1982) was an American Delta blues musician and songwriter, known for his characteristic style of guitar-playing, his nine-string guitar, and his bizarre, cantankerous personalityBorn in Crawford, Mississippi, as a youth Williams began wandering across the United States busking and playing stores, bars, alleys and work camps. In the early 1920s he worked in the Rabbit Foot Minstrels revue, and recorded with the Birmingham Jug Band in 1930 for the Okeh label.In 1934 he was in St. Louis, where he met record producer Lester Melrose who signed him to a contract with Bluebird Records in 1935. He stayed with Bluebird for ten years, recording such blues hits as "Baby, Please Don't Go" (1935) and "Crawlin' King Snake" (1941), both songs later covered by many other performers. He also recorded with other blues singers, including John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson, Robert Nighthawk and Peetie Wheatstraw.Williams remained a noted blues artist in the 1950s and 1960s, with his guitar style and vocals becoming popular with folk-blues fans. He later recorded for the Trumpet, Delmark, Prestige and Vocalion labels, among others. He became a regular on the concert and coffeehouse circuits, touring Europe and Japan in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and performing at major U.S. festivals.Recorded:Chicago, March 27. 1941Joe Williams (g) (vcl), William Mitchell (imb) [ More Detail ]
Country Joe and The Fish - Death Sound Blues
About The Band: The group's name is derived from leftist politics; "Country Joe" was a popular name for Joseph Stalin in the 1940s, while "the fish" refers to Mao Tse Dung's statement that the true revolutionary must "swim among the people as a fish." The group began with the nucleus of "Country Joe" McDonald (lead vocals) and Barry "The Fish" Melton (lead guitar), recording and performing for the "Teach-In" protests against the Vietnam War in 1965. Co-founders McDonald and Melton added musicians as needed over the life of the band. By 1967, the group included Gary "Chicken" Hirsh (drums) (born in 1940, in Chicago, Illinois); David Cohen (keyboards) (born 8 April 1942, in Brooklyn, New York) and Bruce Barthol (bass) (born 11 November 1947 in Berkeley, California). The 1967 lineup lasted only two years, and by the 1969 music festival Woodstock, the lineup included Greg 'Duke' Dewey (drums), Mark Kapner (keyboards) and Doug Metzler (bass).The band came to perform an early example of psychedelic music. The LP "Electric Music for the Mind and Body" was very influential on early FM Radio in 1967. Long sets of psychedelic tunes like "Section 43", "Bass Strings", "Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine", "Janis" (for and about Janis Joplin) and "Grace" (for singer Grace Slick) (all released on Vanguard Records) were often played back to back on KSAN and KMPX in San Francisco and progressive rock stations around the country. Their first album charted at #39 on September 23, 1967, their 2nd album at #67 on February 3, 1968, and their third at #23 on August 31, 1968. Country Joe and The Fish were regulars at Fillmore West and East and Chet Helms' Avalon Ballroom. They were billed with such groups as Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Led Zeppelin, and Iron Butterfly. They played at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 and at the Woodstock Festival in 1969. In 1971 the band appeared in a Western film starring Don Johnson as an outlaw gang called the Crackers. The film, entitled Zachariah, was written by the Firesign Theatre and was billed as "The First Electric Western". They also appeared in the George Lucas film More American Graffiti and in the 1971 Roger Corman film Gas-s-s-s.Electric Music For The Mind And Body, Country Joe and The Fish's debut album, was one of the first psychedelic albums to come out of San Francisco in 1967. Many timed their acid trips to peak during Country Joe and The Fish performances at The Avalon or The Fillmore, where they were frequent performers.Tracks from the LP, especially "Section 43", "Grace", and "Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine" were played on progressive FM rock stations like KSAN and KMPX in San Francisco, often back-to-back. A famous version of the song "Love" was performed at the 1969 Woodstock FestivalLyrics: I hear that death sound, baby,Oh, like an echo in my brain.I hear that death sound, baby,Oh, like an echo in my brain, brain.Well, there's a part of us dying,You know that things will never be the same,Ah, never be the same! I feel the black nails a-poundin' now,Yes, into the coffin of our love.Hear the black nails a-poundin' now,Yes, into the coffin of our love.Well, like a black shrouded hunter now,Don't you know that I have killed a snow white dove,Oh, I've killed the dove. Well, the time sands keep a-fallin' nowOn towards our ending day.Yeah, the time sands keep a-fallin'Towards our ending day.I see the minutes chasing the hours,Yes, to the words that we should say,Ah — we should say.
