уважаемый Карп!
Я прошу восстановить мой пост про вклад бардов, в частности Александра Розенбаума (он в какой-то мере тоже бард), в великое направление музыки, имя которому "Блюз", ибо он не является ни фладом, ни оффтопом, ни оскорблением кого бы то ни было, ни нарушающим какие либо правила форума.

Уважаемые Модераторы!
Прошу наградить Олега Игоревича Мокрякова почетным плюсом за злостно-упрямый флуд!!!

...Father, forgive him; for he do not know what he is doing!...
(Luke 23:34)

Я тоже прошу восстановить пост про Розенбаума хотя бы на оговорённое заранее время,дабы не чувствовать себя ущемлённым в части знания о том,что такое блюз в сознании наших дорогих сосайтников.А потом можно и ещё плюса дать.

Я как бард тоже прошу восстановить пост про вклад бардов!

No pasaran!

Where Blues Meets Rock

Super!

NEW YORK - Robert Randolph may not be a household name yet, but he already counts Eric Clapton and Dave Matthews among his fans, and his unique blend of rock and old-time soul has made him a buzz-worthy artist, even meriting him an appearance on last year's Grammy telecast.

Not bad for an inner-city kid who started out playing the slide guitar as a youngster in church. Randolph soon turned his hobby into a profession, forming Robert Randolph and The Family Band along with a couple of his cousins.

As Randolph's sound began to take shape, he found himself jamming with everyone from Clapton to Steven Tyler to Santana. Randolph sat down with The Associated Press to discuss his second studio album, "Colorblind," what he feels music is lacking nowadays, and why he wants to be a role model for African-American youth.

AP: Who taught you to play guitar?

Randolph: I grew up in church watching some older guys play slide guitar in church. If you grew up in church, you wanted to do that. In our church it was mainly all guitars. When I started to play, I would be at home playing and everybody would be like, "Yo, what are you doing man? Shut up. Stop playing that country instrument." I didn't care because I still felt cool about it. There wasn't really any pressure from any of the kids because I was a cool teenager.

AP: Is there something in you that is yearning for that top 10 single?

Randolph: Everybody wants the top 10 single. If it never happens you can't really complain about it. That is one thing I got to understand because every artist, I don't care who it is, when they are recording a song they go, "That's a hit. That is going to be No. 1." It just doesn't happen. They start complaining and they get down. You can't really worry about that. If it does then it is great. You have just got to continue to keep it going. Stay true to what I believe in. If more artists understood that then people would have longer careers and not always fall for the trendy thing today.

AP: How easy is it to stay true to yourself in the music industry?

Randolph: You've just always got to be in the right frame of mind and not really settle for anything like that. I grew up in church. I think differently than some of the other people who never had that outlook on life. You have to stay true to what you believe in and what got you here.

AP: Do you feel like music is missing something right now?

Randolph: It's definitely missing something. It is missing that honesty, that enjoyment. It is missing a constant positive message. Kanye West came in there and gave a positive message. It is that circle. The main thing music is missing is the full-on honesty. My musical vision is to remind people that you have to enjoy life. You have to love one another. Life is a party while we are here on this earth. It can be taken from us at anytime. I always want to try to create music that is a celebration of life. Get people to love one another and understand that kind of thing. On a mainstream level in rock music, and me because I am a black guitarist, for some people it is like, "What is he doing? Where did he come from?" I am from (New) Jersey but they think I am country. I think for me the fact that I am young and I am African-American ... maybe it will encourage somebody else to come and do something.

AP: Do you see yourself as a role model for African-American youth?

Randolph: I am just trying to be an example for people. There are a lot of inner-city kids and even suburbia kids — everybody want to be thugged out. Now you see in a lot of schools there is no more band. There is no more chorus. There are no more kids singing. When we were growing up it was cool to be in a band. You'd play the drums or an instrument like the flute or something. You were cool. It wasn't that long ago. Somewhere along the line it (was) just, everybody wants to do R&B. Everybody wants to be a rapper. People don't understand there are other jobs out there. There is something else in you other than trying to be a rapper. It is cool if you want to be like Jay-Z, but if it ain't you, it ain't you. I just like to be an example.

AP: Is your band really comprised of family members?

Randolph: Yeah. yeah. We are all really family members. Now we have my sister who sings with us. She was the first one in the music business. She sung with Lauryn Hill and the Fugees. She started when she was 16 or 17. My cousin is on the drums. My other cousin is on base. My other cousin is on guitar. It is a full-on family band.

AP: How difficult is it to work with family?

Randolph: With family it makes it easier because with family you can tell them how it is and it will just kind of go away at some point. It is like The Jackson 5. They are still all cool (with each other). What happens is, you've got to see them again.

AP: What was the moment when you felt like you had made it?

Randolph: The best thing that happened to us so far was performing on the Grammys. You get to meet so many artists. No matter how big somebody else may think you are, everybody is still a fan of somebody else. No matter if it is Beyonce and she sees Anita Baker or Prince, you get nervous. You see all of these people on TV. I am a fan of Anthony Hamilton, Anthony Hamilton is a fan of mine and it just keeps going. When you get to be around all of those people at the Grammys or whatever it is — that was the first time I was nervous ever on TV.

Boogie With Canned Heat: The Canned Heat Story
26/02/2007

Canned Heat were one of the hardest living and hardest working bands of the late sixties and through the seventies. Led by the inimitable Bob "The Bear" Hite, a huge man with a personality to match, they established themselves as one of the greatest white blues bands of all time. For the first time this DVD tells the full unexpurgated story from the surviving band members and management.

In North Carolina - Bob Margolin
Audio CD (January 23, 2007)
Label: Steady Rollin

15. You Never Know [Spoken Word Blues Fiction] [*]

This Muddy Waters Band veteran's laconic singing and sweet-toned guitar on numbers like "Tears of Rage" give In North Carolina a graceful, relaxed quality--at least until Margolin comes charging in with the whinnying slide style he learned from Muddy or chomps down on a high-energy shuffle like Waters's "Lonely Man Blues." Either way, the debut album for his own Steady Rollin' label is literally a down-home affair. He describes the mix of 14 new and classic tunes as what he'd play for his wife and pets in their North Carolina house, and it was recorded, with Margolin playing almost all the instruments, not far from his door. The songs are full of vintage guitar sounds and iconic licks, and ricochet from the acoustic ragtime of the double-entendre-packed "You Rascal You" to the purring slide-powered instrumental "Colleen." Although Margolin is the leading exponent of Waters's staccato slide technique, he proves here that he's also adept at mimicking lap- and pedal-steel voices on conventional guitars. And the bonus track is the first recording of one of the excellent short stories he's become known for in blues circles, an emotional tale about a special night in a dingy roadhouse titled "You Never Know."

This "back-to-the-roots" road-trip documentary CD/DVD from blues-rocking guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd can be viewed in two ways--it's either the culmination of a long-held desire to promote and play with some unheralded blues veterans before they pass away (as six had already done since the recording was made, 2½ years before its early 2007 release) or a way to regain the blues audience Shepherd all but alienated on his artistically and commercially disappointing 2004 hard-rock release, The Place You're In. Ultimately, it succeeds on both accounts. Regardless of the project's inspiration, the results by and large justify whatever the means might have been to get this show on the road--literally and figuratively. Shepherd hit the highway for a week and a half along with producer Jerry Harrison (ex-Talking Heads), a portable studio, and backup musicians including the rhythm section from Stevie Ray Vaughan's Double Trouble. He searched out blues artists both obscure (the late guitarist Etta Baker, who plays in her kitchen, is a highlight) and better known (Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown and B.B. King) for a series of acoustic and electric jams, all of which feature Shepherd--who, to his credit, generally keeps his hot-dogging tendencies in check. A closing concert featuring members of Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters' bands never quite generates the heat it should, but country bluesmen Cootie Stark, Neil Pattman, and harmonica ace Jerry "Boogie" McCain provide plenty of sparks. Shepherd seems sincere enough, but the real stars are the ageing musicians who have maintained their chops and intensity through a lifetime of performing music that clearly comes from the soul. --Hal Horowitz

Product Description
Kenny Wayne Shepherd's reverence for his musical roots are center-stage on Ten Days Out...Blues From The Backroads, a CD+DVD package that features the guitarslinger and Double Trouble rhythm section of bassist Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris Layton performing with some of the greatest blues players of our time as well as lesser-known but historically significant bluesmen. Traveling to their hometowns to record everywhere from juke joints to front porches, from New Orleans to Kansas, Shepherd celebrates and becomes part of blues history with Ten Days Out...Blues From The Backroads.

Rolling Stone
Deep soul, raw vocal power, blustery swagger...the great female blues singer of her generation

Product Description
With her first album in seven years, the aptly titled Old School, Taylor once again shows the world what she does so well. From foot-stomping barnburners to powerful slow blues, Koko proves in an instant that her blues are joyous and life-affirming, powerful and soul-stirring.
With Old School, Taylor brings it all back home, supported by a band of veteran musicians and young revivalists. Singing like she did for Chess Records early in her career, Taylor belts out a set of material that could easily have topped the blues charts in the 1950s, and will certainly reach the top of the blues world today.

Koko Taylor, guitarist Criss Johnson and Alligator president Bruce Iglauer produced Old School. Recorded in Chicago, the 12 songs (including five new Taylor originals and songs by Willie Dixon, Magic Sam, Lefty Dizz, and E.G. Kight) all hearken back to Taylor's early years in the Windy City. They range from the humorous truth of Piece Of Man to the rocking blues advice of Better Watch Your Step to the tough street scene of Bad Avenue (done in classic Muddy Waters style), to Koko's version of Memphis Minnie's Black Rat, a song she used to sing as a teenager. "I put my heart and soul into everything that I do," says Taylor. "I worked long and hard on Old School, and I want my fans to enjoy it as much as I do."

А тутта обсуждали уже "Блюз" Скорсезе? Я посмотрел первые три фильма и последний, конечно, про пианистов... Первые работы еще ничего, но Piano Blues - это просто... Блин! Какого хрена, вонючий Клинт взялся за эту работенку, а? Я, конечно, понимаю, что он большой поклонник фортепианного блюза, но это не дает ему право снимать такую дрянь… Такое ощущение, что он с youtub’a видео накачал и все… Притом, не блюзовых пианистов, а джазовых… Я, конечно, очень люблю и Доктора Джона, и Рэя Чарльза, и Питерсона, и Тэйтума и, бесспорно, они имеют отношение к блюзу, но лично мне хотелось бы услышать про ЧИСТО блюзовых пианистов типа Пайнтопа Перкинса (слава Богу, хоть его не забыли)… Я, конечно, ворчу, но все-равно фильм не без удовольствия посмотрел, ибо пианисты-то там все замечательные, но это, ведь не заслуга режиссера…
