R.I.P. - June 30, 1936 – February 10, 2002

Born in Brooklyn in 1936, Van Ronk moved to the Village as a teenager and never left. Over five decades, he recorded scores of albums that blended blues, jazz, jug-band stomping, and sea chanteys. He was an early champion of Dylan and other up-and-coming songwriters like Joni Mitchell. When Joan Baez was beginning her own career in the Boston and Cambridge areas, she would hear reports of Van Ronk, who was a few years older than her. "He was already a myth," Baez says. "He had terrible teeth, but he had the most astonishing pitch, sweet little notes amidst the growly ones. I knew thousands of people who sang the blues, but there weren't many who did it well. He was the closest living offshoot of Leadbelly that I could get to see." Although Van Ronk never sold anywhere near the amount of records his protégés did, he accumulated many boldface-name fans. In Chronicles Volume One, Dylan wrote that he'd first heard Van Ronk's records while growing up in the Midwest. "He was passionate and stinging," wrote Dylan, "sang like a solder of fortune and sounded like he paid the price. . . I loved his style." Tom Waits (whose voice recalls Van Ronk's) has long been an admirer, and Stephen King dropped Van Ronk's name in his novella Riding the Bullet.

Though other performers sold more records and earned greater fame, few had as profound an impact on contemporary music as Emmylou Harris. Blessed with a crystalline voice, a remarkable gift for phrasing, and a restless creative spirit, she traveled a singular artistic path, proudly carrying the torch of "cosmic American music" passed down by her mentor, Gram Parsons. With the exception of only Neil Young -- not surprisingly an occasional collaborator -- no other mainstream star established a similarly large body of work as consistently iconoclastic, eclectic, or daring, Withn more than four decades into her career, Harris' latter-day music remains as heartfelt, visionary, and vital as her earliest recordings.

The Muffin Men 
Say Cheese And Thank You

Studio Recordings @ 320

{Out of Print}

The Muffin Men are a British band, based in Liverpool, England, which primarily plays the music of Frank Zappa. The group formed in 1990 (with original members: Ian (Bammo) Bamford, Lead Guitar & Vocals - Paul (Rhino) Ryan, Drums & Vocals - Mike Kidson, Saxophones, Trousers and Vocals - Andy (Waco) Jacobson, Keyboards & vocals - Roddie Gilliard, Guitar & Vocals - Naraish Nathaniel, Bass & Vocals - Ian Jump, Lead Guitar & Vocals and Roy Stringer, Apple Macintosh, samples, vocals and noises) for a concert in honor of Zappa's fiftieth birthday. They went on to perform his music as a tribute band, along with some of their own compositions, worldwide. Until his death in 2008, the band often featured guest vocals and percussion by Jimmy Carl Black, former drummer and vocalist from Zappa's Mothers of Invention, with whom they also performed songs by Captain Beefheart.

In 22 years of operation, the Muffin Men have featured no less than seven original Zappa band members, along with original Mothers Of Invention drummer/vocalist Jimmy Carl Black, as well as performing with Don Preston and Bunk Gardner in 1993. In 1994 they played a nine-week European tour with guest vocalist Ike Willis, and again teamed up with Willis in 2003 for a special Zappanale festival show, which also featured Napoleon Murphy Brock. Zappanale is a yearly tribute concert festival dedicated to Frank Zappa's compositions. Mike Keneally has also appeared with the band, and the current lineup features Denny Walley on slide guitar and vocals.

Rather than play pieces note-for-note, the band plays Zappa's material working to the strengths of the current line-up, often giving the music a different slant to the original versions.

November 13, 1971

London, UK

Excellent Unknown Source @192

This is what Miles wrote in his autobiography: “Airto Moreira quit early in 1971 and I got Jimmy Heath’s son, Mtume, to replace him on percussion. We didn’t record for a while because you have to let a band get used to playing together before you record anything. We went out on the road to try to get things together.
“Jack DeJohnette left the group late in 1971, around the same time Keith Jarrett left. I wanted the drummer to play certain funk rhythms, a role just like everybody else in the group had. I didn’t want the band playing totally free all the time, because I was moving closer to the funk groove in my head. Now, Jack could play drums like a motherf***er in a groove; he could really do that shit, but he also wanted to do other things, play a little freer, be a leader, do things his own way, so he left…
“I tried out Leon Ndugu Chancler… But after Gary Bartz, Keith, and Jack left my working band, I got my musicians from funk groups and not jazz bands because that’s the way I was going. Those guys were the last pure jazz players I’ve had in my bands up until today.”

Red Lorry Yellow Lorry - Live Los Angeles 1986

Red Lorry Yellow Lorry - Los Angeles, CA - 1986

FM Source @320

RED LORRY YELLOW LORRY 
If you loved Joy Division, you'll like Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, who similarly inhabit a bleak world in which swirling guitar figures and pretentious, gloomy lyrics are the only comforts. While Joy Division was the unchallenged champ of these nether regions, Leeds' Lorries work the territory with enough savvy and intelligence (not to mention a cool suppressed-acid-rock guitar sound) to make it work. Talk About the Weather ultimately succumbs to its own murky tunelessness, but not without a fight.
After that LP, they recorded a great single, "Chance." With distorted organ drone and a rushed tempo, it sounded as if the band had located its own true voice. However, Paint Your Wagon borrows enough from Ian Curtis and Joy Division that you'd think it had been released by Factory (c. 1981), especially on cuts like "Head All Fire" and "Save My Soul." A disappointing follow-up to such a promising debut.
The back cover of the Smashed Hits singles compilation is covered with flattering bits from newspaper clippings, and the tracks really do live up to most of the praise. Most of the band's finest moments are included, such as "Hollow Eyes," "Generation" and "Chance." The guitar work is so good that it covers up the weak points, especially the vocal Curtisisms and the kickless, rudimentary rhythm section. (The CD adds two tracks.) They've changed their name back and forth between Red Lorry Yellow Lorry and the Lorries a few times recently, releasing one mini-LP (Crawling Mantra) as the latter.
Nothing Wrong is marked and almost marred by an unshifting swarm of buzzing guitar noise with just enough off-kilter harmonies to break up the drone. A developing melodic flair is apparent, but none of the material ranks with the band's best, and Chris Reed's bleak lyrics are straight out of an Existentialism 101 textbook. "Only Dreaming (Wide Awake)" is the most diverting effort, with an acoustic guitar intro and outro, a bass riveting enough to please J.J. Burnel and even a tambourine in the chorus; only Reed's deep bellowing prevents it from being a genuine pop song (maybe that's the idea).
Blow sports Ecstasy/rave cover art (after the Lorries' usual black, gray and brown, bright colors are a breakthrough). Half-jumping on the acid house bandwagon, Blow takes the band a giant step forward in terms of melodicism and diversity of sound. Staying clear of the old monochromatic wall of noise, the production gives them plenty of punch and much more warmth; the space between instruments (more keyboards and background vocals this time) helps clarify the sound more than ever before. The Joy Division comparisons can finally be put to rest.
~John Leland/David Sheridan

Meltdown...

This isn't a picture of my computer but it may as well be.

I am posting this from my wife's computer that she uses for work. Wednesday June 11th my computer would not turn on. NOTHING. I was hoping it was just the power source.  No such luck. Had the computer guy down the street from me check it out. Not only is the power supply dead but there is some MELTED CIRCUITS on the board. I have been able to save $214.57 from the few generous folks that have been kind enough to donate to this blog and Voodoo Wagon. I need at least another $350 to get a new computer that won't be obsolete in 2 years. I will probably not be able to post much of anything until I can get a new computer. My wife is out of town for work a lot and she also works from home sometimes. This means I WILL NOT be able to use her computer very often. For those of you that wonder why I don't have enough of my own money to buy a new unit, I am currently disabled and am having to sue my health insurance company for disability for a valid claim that they refuse to pay. Lets just say I have a very fucked up foot from an accident with power tools...

Studio Recordings @320

{Out of Print}

Produced by Jack Endino, his stripped down recording

techniques brought out the raw sound that made Tad

a beast to be feared.

Tribal drumbeats mixed with 70's heavy guitar with

Sabbath type riffs put them apart from the other emerging

Seattle bands who had a sound rooted more in blues or punk.

This is their first album which was released on Sub Pop.

Commercial sales never matched the critical acclaim and

despite later albums getting more airplay, they were always

overshadowed by those "other" bands.

Feel the heaviness...
