{Out of Print}

Mike Henderson was an original member of blues group the Bel Airs when they formed in Missouri in 1981. They released an album, Need Me a Car, on Blind Pig Records in 1984. Henderson left the band in 1985 and moved to Nashville. The following year, he joined the roots rock band The Roosters. He was also a member of spin-off band The Kingsnakes. The Kingsnakes began playing weekly at the Bluebird Cafe in July 1986. They shortened their name to The Snakes when they were signed by Curb Records. An album, The Snakes, was released by Curb in 1989.

In 1988, The Fabulous Thunderbirds covered "Powerful Stuff", a song Henderson had written for The Snakes, for the soundtrack to the film Cocktail. Henderson later became a staff songwriter for EMI. His songs have been recorded by the Dixie Chicks, Trisha Yearwood, Gary Allan and Patty Loveless, among others. Henderson also found work in Nashville as a slide guitarist. He played on albums by Emmylou Harris, John Hiatt, Joy Lynn White and Kelly Willis.

Mike Henderson & the Bluebloods released 2 recordings in the 90's Mike later also toured with Mark Knofler in 2001. In 2008, Henderson was one of the founding members of bluegrass group The SteelDrivers. He played mandolin, resophonic guitar and harmonica and co-wrote most of the band's original songs. The SteelDrivers' 2010 album Reckless was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2011. Henderson left The SteelDrivers in December 2011.

Adele performed Henderson's song "If It Hadn't Been for Love" for her 2011 DVD Live at the Royal Albert Hall. Henderson has continued to play weekly shows at the Bluebird Cafe with the Mike Henderson Band. ~Wiki

Nina Simone at the Village Gate - (1962)

Nina Simone at the Village Gate (1962)

Soundboard @256

Out of Print

Recorded in 1961, at the Village Gate, when Nina Simone, at age twenty-eight, was finding great success and popularity through her recordings on Colpix Records, this live performance beautifully recreates the mood and atmosphere of a Nina Simone concert. A performer with talents in many directions--and a classical background in piano, which she studied at Juilliard School of Music--Simone shows off her skills brilliantly in this CD, which never seems to repeat the same kind of music twice.

In the finger-popping "Just in Time," she begins almost in a monotone, singing the melody against a bass, but then picks up the tempo and introduces a sparkling piano treatment, her own arrangement. The ballad "He Was Too Good For Me," a slow lament of a lost love, is followed by "House of the Rising Sun," a folk song familiar to audiences worldwide now, but new at the time--sung as funky blues with a strong guitar and bass beat.

"Bye Bye Blackbird" is unique on the CD--an 8:12 minute jam session with no vocal. Simone on piano, and her guitarist, Al Shackman, provide a musical statement and then echo for two minutes, with drums, cymbals, and a more upbeat piano following. Filled with variations on the familiar theme, the track ends with a grand finale of classical jazz. "Brown Baby," a "freedom song" recorded in the days before Freedom Rides and the death of Martin Luther King, is a powerful assertion, which ends in a wail. "Zungo," which follows appropriately, is an African inspired number with drum accompaniment.

The highlight of the CD for me was "Children, Go Where I Send You," a revival song so full of energy that it will have you ready to leap through your speakers to "witness" along with Simone. Simone had complete artistic control at Colpix, and it shows here. The CD is beautifully paced and offers a great deal of variety, and Simone wisely keeps her accompaniment to a minimum. A terrific CD!
