Love That Album Episode 188 - Blues-a-thon
Blues music means different things to different people. The popular image is of a guitarist playing 12-bar blues of the 1-4-5 variety singing
about his or her troubled life. This doesn't take into consideration
songs of lust, politics, travel or any subject really that doesn't
involve the traditional 12 bar form. The songs can be downcast, yes,
but also happy and celebratory. They can have the guitar as the focus
instrument, but also the harp (not the type that the Marx brothers
employed....but I'd be happy to be proven wrong), the piano,
horns....they can be simple, complex, slick or raw.
Welcome to episode 188 of Love That Album podcast.
Over the last few years, I've welcomed Shane Pacey, leader of the Bondi
Cigars and the Shane Pacey Trio to the show many times to talk about
records in a variety of styles, but weirdly, we've never spoken about
The Blues. I say “weirdly” because blues music is his main focus
of recording and live performance. Finally, that is rectified with
the latest episode.
Shane and I picked 4 classic blues albums to ruminate on. They're all very different in their approach to performance and production, yet they all fit nicely under the blues umbrella. We look at:
Willie Dixon - I Am The Blues
Albert King – Born Under a Bad Sign
Junior Wells – Hoodoo Man Blues
Muddy Waters – Hard Again
Of course, it wouldn't be an LTA episode if we didn't digress to other
blues-related topics....and we're remaining consistent to that ethos.
As always, it's a wonderful time in Shane's company. We discuss much,
and I learn much. He's a music encyclopedia and a fun
conversationalist.
So, if you want to know who we believe Junior Wells influenced and was
influenced by or what song by Albert King influenced Kiss (probably)
or why Marshall Chess supposedly asked Buddy Guy to kick his
arse....we have a great show for you.
Shane's trio's most recent album is the superb Who Made You King? You can get a copy from
https://shanepaceytriomusic.bandcamp.com/album/who-made-you-king. You can also look up what's happening in the world of The Bondi Cigars at https://bondicigars.com/
Oh, and I even received some feedback from listeners about THEIR
favourite blues albums. Yay!!!
