All Memphis Music ~ Jared Booty ~The Memphis Sound ~ Presented by The Memphis Convention & Visitors Bureau

This weekend All Memphis Music is pleased to present a specialty show highlighting , Jared Booty and his new CD.

Jared Booty, multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, and
producer, plays guitar, bass guitar, saxophone, flute and
drums. He taught himself to play left-handed on a friends axe
when he was just a kid growing up inMemphis, Tennessee.
This was the best thing that could have happened to musician
Jared Booty. As a small boy he lived around the corner
from Sun Records where Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny
Cash, Carl Perkins, and Roscoe Gordon made their mark. His
grandparents owned a soul food cafe on world famous Beale
Street where Jared remembers hearing the music of Howlin’
Wolf and B.B. King booming from the cafe jukebox and late in
the evening at home, rockin’ with the soulful sounds of disc jockey
Dewey Phillips as he conducted his “rockin’ soul” radio
show Red Hot & Blue.

From the early strains of Furry Lewis to
the later grooves of Bobby ”Blue” Bland, music seemed to be at
every turn in his young life.
Later Jared’s experience as a sideman with the likes of
rhythm and blues legend Rufus Thomas, soul man Al Green,
rockers Dacy’s Midnight Runners, Bob Dylan, Terrence Trent
Darby, The Fugees and others just added fuel to the fire. Now
that his CD, “Blue and Red Hot” is soon to be released it’s clear
that the musical scope of Jared Booty will reach far and wide.

The special will feature an in-depth discussion with Jared and All Memphis Music co-founder, David Fleischman.

The Specialty Show will air this Friday night October 22th at 10:00 pm (CST Memphis Time) and will repeat on Saturday morning October 23rd at 10:00 am (CST Memphis Time) Tell a friend!

Cyndi Lauper ~ All Memphis Music ~ "Twitter Cast" ~ Memphis Convention & Visitors Bureau ~ Memphis Blues"

                                             Cyndi Lauper-'Memphis Blues' new CD
                                        "Twitter Cast"—ALLMEMPHISMUSIC.com

Tonight, Thursday at 7PM EST, All Memphis Music is excited to present a special “Twitter Cast” featuring Cyndi Lauper as she Tweets comments about her Top Ten favorite Memphis songs while they play live, on All Memphis Music. Her new album, Memphis Blues, recorded in the River City’s own Electrophonic Studios, pays tribute to the blues and its rich history. She’s chosen a powerful ensemble cast to assist her, including Charlie Musselwhite, BB King, Ann Peebles, Allen Toussaint and Johnny Lang. The exclusive broadcast is one of many innovations AllMemphisMusic has popularized since its 2006 arrival.
Cyndi Lauper, no stranger to even the most casual pop music fan, burst on the scene with her stunning Portrait Records 1984 debut, She’s So Unusual, which featured “Girls Just Want To Have Fun.” The album quickly sold over four and a half million records and launched a career which continues to showcase Cyndi’s versatility and eclectic tastes.

The Cyndi Lauper/AllMemphisMusic “Twitter-cast” figures to be an insightful discourse through the eyes and ears of a true pop icon about the music that’s meant so much to Memphis’ musical heritage as well as the culture of pop music in the 20th and 21st centuries. Since the release of Memphis Blues, Cyndi has again become one of the most sought after personalities in music. She’s appeared on “American Idol,” played a psychic on the wildly popular Fox TV series, “Bones,” and made an impressive showing on “Celebrity Apprentice.” She’s currently on a national tour that will take her to major markets around the U.S.

Johnny Cash ~ New CD ~ American VI ~ All Memphis Music ~ Memphis Convention & Visitors Bureau

J.R Cash was born near Memphis, in Kingsland, Arkansas, to Ray (1897–1985) and Carrie Cash, and raised in Dyess, Arkansas.

He followed his musical career to Sun Records in Memphis, Tn.

Cash was given the name "J.R." because his parents could not agree on a name, only on initials. When he enlisted in the United States Air Force, the military would not accept initials as his name, so he adopted John R. Cash as his legal name. In 1955, when signing with Sun Records, he took Johnny Cash as his stage name. His friends and in-laws generally called him John, while his blood relatives usually continued to call him J.R

American VI: Ain’t No Grave arrives billed as the last fruit of Johnny Cash. It’s drawn largely from the same sessions that produced American V: A Hundred Highways and recorded at least partly after the death of Cash’s wife, June Carter Cash, as his sight dimmed and his own body failed him for the last time. It’s no surprise that Ain’t No Grave is focused on death and loss. But as usual, Cash uses his Christian faith as the ultimate rebuttal to life’s disappointments. “Ain’t No Grave gonna hold my body down,” Cash sings, as the musical setting of the traditional title track sounds ominous tones. Hope was his last act of defiance.
The 10 songs on American VI find Cash sounding frail but determined, and the material doesn’t let him down.

A cover of Queen Lili’uokalani’s famous Hawaiian farewell “Aloha Oe” is eerily fantastic! Cash is gone now. Aloha means goodbye. But it also means love, mercy, and compassion, all values he treasured. And in this context, it has another meaning found in the last words on the album, and delivered with all the conviction he could summon: “Until we meet again.”

Tom Petty's bandmates Mike Campbell & Benmont Tench are featured on this CD.

The Specialty Show will air this Friday night March 12th at 10:00 pm (CST Memphis Time) and will repeat on Saturday morning March 13th at 10:00 am (CST Memphis Time)

Willie Mitchell Tribute ~ All Memphis Music ~ Hi Records ~ Memphis Convention and Visitors Bureau ~ Soul Music ~ The Memphis Sound ~ Memphis Music

This weekend, AllMemphisMusic.com will feature a tribute to Willie Mitchell. On January 5th, the Memphis Music Community, the world music community, and music lovers everywhere lost a true icon with the passing of Willie Mitchell.

Willie was the consumate music man and consumate music business man. Willie was not only a great musician, he was also a writer, arranger, producer, engineer, studio head, and label head.

Best known for signing Al Green to Hi Records, Willie was also responsible for great music from Ann Peeples, OV Wright, Donald Bryant, Syl Johnson, Hi Rhythm, and his own hit instrumentals such as "20-75", and "Percolatin", and many others. He also worked with non R&B artists, the likes of Keith Richards, John Mayer, and Rod Stewart, just to name a few.

Not only was Willie known for his great musical accomplishments, but anyone who has ever spoken about Willie, never fails to mention how Willie was a man of great humility, integrity, compassion and caring.

Willie's musical accomplishments are well documented, and although Willie is no longer with us, his music will be with us forever.

On this week's tribute to Willie Mitchell, we will feature music and artists he was involved with, and comments from people that knew and loved him.

The Specialty Show will air this Friday night January 22nd at 10:00 pm (CST Memphis Time) and will repeat on Saturday morning January 23rd at 10:00 am (CST Memphis Time)

All Memphis Music ~ The Mississippi Sheiks ~ Steve Dawson ~ Blues

MISSISSIPPI SHEIKS TRIBUTE CD TO BE FEATURED IN A ONE-HOUR RADIO SPECIAL NOVEMBER 13 & 14 ON ALLMEMPHISMUSIC.COM

All Memphis Music is proud to announce this weeks Specialty Show as a tribute to the new 'Mississippi Sheiks' CD "Things About Comin' My Way", hosted by the CD's producer, Steve Dawson.

As a 24/7 global internet radio station www.AllMemphisMusic.com will air a one-hour special on the new Mississippi Sheiks tribute CD, Things About Comin’ My Way, this Friday, November 13 at 10:00 PM Central Time (Memphis Time) and repeating the following morning, Saturday November 14 at 10:00 AM Central Time (Memphis Time).

In addition to playing all 17 tracks of Things About Comin’ My Way, which showcases such artists as John Hammond, The North Mississippi Allstars, Bruce Cockburn, Geoff Muldaur, Bill Frisell, Madeleine Peyroux, Danny Barnes and The Carolina Chocolate Drops, the special includes an in-depth interview with Steve Dawson, who conceived the project, produced most of the tracks on the album, played various instruments throughout, and is also the featured artist on one track. To hear the special, just click on this link at 10PM Central Time on November 13 or 10AM Central Time November 14:
All Memphis Music

Things About Comin’ My Way has been drawing rave reviews from the press since its release on October 20, as well as significant airplay at both blues and Americana radio stations (it’s #22 on this week’s Americana Radio chart).
“As tribute compilations go, Things About Comin' My Way surpasses any musical expectations, the collaborating artists taking half-forgotten songs from long ago and breathing new life and vitality into them. The result is a loving tribute to one of the influential, albeit too often overlooked, treasures in American roots music, the Mississippi Sheiks. Kudos to producer Steve Dawson and the participating artists for a job well done and, of course, to the Mississippi Sheiks for the great music they left us.” – About.com

“This tribute album, the brainchild of musician/producer Steve Dawson, reinterprets the Sheiks’ music across a broad range of styles. And it does so in ways that make the album much more than just another sound-alike, in part because all 17 tracks were recoded across three sessions – to create a sense of consistency while still allowing the featured artists to be spontaneous… With a roster of artists who are clearly enjoying themselves, Things About Comin’ My Way offers a gold mine of music and memories.” - Blues Revue
“… a marvelous celebration of some of America’s formative musical material, key threads in the tapestry of 20th-century song…. If it’s hard to pick highlights among the disc’s seventeen tracks, it’s equally difficult to pinpoint any weak spots; there simply aren’t any less-than stellar performances here…. Great Stuff!” – Blog Critics
“This CD is a fantastic tribute to the great string band The Mississippi Sheiks….
If you love the beautiful music of the bygone era of string band, then this recording will surely please you. Remember that the songs herein are just a fraction of the recordings by the Sheiks, but are a grand reminder of how story & song can be so easily forgotten.
– Blues Source

“Producer Steve Dawson has done that music of the early 1930s very proud, being smart enough to first find the artists who could bring real feeling to songs like “It’s Backfirin’ Now” and “Sitting on Top of the World,” and then have them pull of such exciting new renditions. Just about every track here passes the taste test admirably, and even better, we hear things we’ve never heard before… Some, like the Carolina Chocolate Drops, Ndidi Onukwulu, Kelly Joe Phelps, Madeleine Peyroux and Jim Byrnes, are absolutely sublime in how they turn a sound from the distant past into something that can touch us so deeply today. It’s like a wonder of time, and one of music’s great gifts, how decades can be erased so quickly. But try listening to a song like “He Calls That Religion” or “The World Is Going Wrong” and not feel caught up in the original spirit, flying through the years and sensing what the Mississippi Sheiks created so long ago. It’s like it’s being reborn right before us now, a world apart but in the big picture of life right next door. Close your eyes and open your ears.” – Sonic Boomers
“This well deserved, superb tribute to the Sheiks captures all the band’s qualities, especially that infectious, buoyant energy, in 17 fine performances. In most cases the assembled artists use more instruments than Messrs. Vinson and Chatmon had at their disposal—or instruments they never employed--but nothing’s ever sonically out of whack with the Sheiks’ spirit…You don’t have to listen hard at the end to hear one of the singers break into a warm, knowing laugh, and that bit of extemporaneous commentary says it all about the humanity informing the Mississippi Sheiks’ art and powering the passions of the artists Dawson assembled to pay overdue homage to some men who made a glorious sound that was both smart and soulful.” – The Bluegrass Special

'Things About Comin' My Way ~ Mississippi Sheiks ~ All Memphis Music ~ Internet Radio ~

All Memphis Music Is Proud To Feature Our Monthly CD Pick, "THINGS ABOUT COMIN' MY WAY", a Tribute to the MISSISSIPPI SHEIKS.

The CD is a tribute to the music of seminal blues group the Mississippi Sheiks, "Things About Comin’ My Way", featuring all-new recordings from such blues and roots stars as John Hammond, Geoff Muldaur, Bruce Cockburn, Bill Frisell, the North Mississippi Allstars, Madeleine Peyroux, Danny Barnes, Kelly Joe Phelps, and the Carolina Chocolate Drops. The CD also includes a song featuring an elaborate string arrangement by Mississippi native and elusive pop icon Van Dyke Parks.

“I’ve been a huge fan of The Mississippi Sheiks for the last 10 years,” says Black Hen Music president Steve Dawson, who produced most of the tracks on the album, played various instruments throughout and also performs a song on the tribute. “Their unique sound, instrumentation, and the fact that they played with such intensity on their recordings all really jumped out at me. Ultimately, my reason for putting this tribute together was to pay respect to the great body of material they produced in their short lifespan, and show how the songs themselves stand up so well over time. I was never interested in re-creating the music. I was looking for good interpreters who could capture the essence of the songs in a kind of portrait. I wanted to work with people who could celebrate the music and the songs.”

The tracks on 'Things About Comin My Way' were recorded in three big sessions, including one with a house band to back up several of the artists, which gives the album an organic consistency to the sound and feel of the songs. The big session done in Seattle featured a group comprised of jazz legend Wayne Horvitz (John Zorn) on piano, Keith Lowe (Bill Frisell, Fiona Apple) on bass and Matt Chamberlain (David Bowie, Peter Gabriel) on drums.

Between 1930 and 1935, brothers Sam, Lonnie, and Armenter Chatmon, who along with Walter Vinson formed The Mississippi Sheiks, recorded nearly 100 singles that would define this band as one of the most popular string bands of all time. They recorded for three major record companies, toured consistently throughout the south and into the north, including New York City and Chicago, and even performed by invitation for President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. “Sitting on Top of the World,” arguably the band’s most famous song, has been recorded by such diverse artists as Ray Charles, The Grateful Dead, Willie Nelson, Chet Atkins, Howlin’ Wolf, Carl Perkins, Doc Watson, Van Morrison, Jack White, and Bob Dylan, among many others. In 2008, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

To support the release of Things About Comin’ My Way, Black Hen Music is organizing a number of special concerts throughout Canada featuring many of the artists on the album, with the hope to perform several in the U.S. as well.

All Memphis Music ~ Memphis Garage Bands ~ The Sixties

This week on The Specialty Show, AllMemphisMusic.com is going back in the vault. Way, way back in the vault to that magical decade known as………the 60’s…….and we'll be featuring Memphis bands from the 60’s that made their presence known all over Memphis and the Mid-south area.

In the first part of the 60’s, most towns had a few bands that performed on a regular basis and Memphis was no different. But then came that magical night in February of 1964 when the Beatles appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show. Overnight it seems like bands were sprouting up in every town in America…….and Memphis was no different.

This week we will be featuring music from bands that spanned the whole decade. We’ll be playing music by The Gentry’s, The Guilloteens, Randy & The Radiants, Lawson & Four More, The Rapscallions, Tommy Burk & The Counts, The Castels, The Escapades, Flash and the Board of Directors, Shadden & The King Lears, and The LeSabres.

And to top it all off - our guest this weekend is Ron Hall. Ron will be telling the story of all the bands featured on the show. Ron is a Memphis music historian and author of PLAYING FOR A PIECE OF THE DOOR: A History of Garage and Frat Bands in Memphis…1960-1975 and The Memphis Garage Rock Yearbook which are both currently available. Coming soon is his latest book...SPUTNIK, MASKED MEN, AND MIDGETS...The Early Days of Memphis Wrestling...which contains a 4 song cd with songs by Sputnk Monroe, Jackie Fargo, Len Rossi, and Handsome Jimmy Valiant.

This weekend………IT’S BACK TO THE 60’S.

This All Memphis Music Specialty Show will air this Friday night, September 25th at 10:00PM (CST Memphis Time) and rebroadcast on Saturday morning September 26th at 10:00AM (CST Memphis Time).
