Rhythm & Western Vol.7 - Jambalaya
We're kicking off with Nat King Cole doing "Wolverton Mountain", a country music song and a big crossover hit that established Claude King's career as an American country singer-songwriter in 1962, then another version of the Gene Autry C&W classic "Take Me Back To My Boots And Saddle" by Screamin' Jay Hawkins this time. Amos Milburn turns square dance into boogie-woogie, followed by Baby Washington and Bobby Bland with two "melanated" western tunes. Titus Turner gives a new spin to Hank William's classic "Jambalaya" and R&B vocalist Johnny Thunder is next with "Don't Be Ashamed" a song that has a strong C&W and Gospel flavor. Memphian Rosco Gordon gives a perfect example of “Ebony Country Music" with the self-penned "Sally Jo" originally released on Sun Records. Same for Little Willie John and the Young Jessie tunes. Washboard Sam is next with a proto-Western Swing number titled "Crazy About Nancy Jane" and Piano Red's "Big Rock Joe From Kokomo" brings to mind Moon Mullican and all the other Hillbilly piano players he often also inspired.
Rhythm & Western Vol.6 - I´m Moving On
The great Mickey & Sylvia open the ball with "I'm So Glad" and right after that Big Al Downing delivers a great version of the C&W classic "When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again" a song recorded by Merle Haggard, Elvis, Hank Thompson, Bill Monroe, Jim Reeves and many more. King Curtis follows with a fantastic version of "Steel Guitar Rag" (I already gave extended info about this song in a previous volume). Little Willie John delivers a heartfelt version of "She Thinks I Still Care" a number that was recorded by George Jones and many other Country artists. "Haunted House" has been regarded as a classic C&W song since the early 1960s when Gene Simmons had a big hit with it and many other C&W singers covered it. I included the original 1950s version by Johnny Fuller which sounds just as "country" as the white counterparts and even features a banjo!
Rhythm & Western Vol.5 - Cold Cold Heart
Rhythm & Western Vol.4 - I Hang My Head And Cry
THE "MOJO" MAN SEZ: Friends I'm proud to present to you a new Boss series focused on black artists doing "Country & Western" music, before Civil Rights and before artists like Charlie Pride and Linda Martell made it acceptable to the vast majority of white folks for an African American to do this type of music in the late 1960s. Before that it was not really in the book and to this day black artists in C&W are still considered pretty much a "novelty" or an exception. The term "Country Music" was coined in the 1940s because the earlier term "Hillbilly Music" was deemed to be degrading. Around the same time the term "Rhythm and Blues" replaced the term "Race Music" or "Sepia" for the same reason. The funny thing is... Black artists actually pioneered this genre but when record companies in the 1920s created musical "Genres" to better market the records they were releasing, African Americans had to more or less leave it alone. The same thing happened to white artists doing Blues. The ones that continued to record it like Jimmy Rodgers (nowadays regarded as the "Father of Country Music"), Gene Autry, Sam McGee (and many others) suddenly started to get labelled otherwise. The term "Blues" suddenly was used only for black performers. On "Rhythm & Western" I tried to cover African Americans doing C&W and its early incarnations at 360 degrees. Many tracks here are "classic" C&W songs, a lot are numbers that were released as "R&B" only because they were not sung by a white artist and others are "novelty" songs with a strong Country flavour or just a C&W twist to it. DIG IT!
