WALTER WOLFMAN WASHINGTON Feel So at Home Tipitina’s Record Club – TRC-0305 Sure, today’s streaming model of music delivery gives us wonderous access to pretty much the entire universe of music in our phones; yet, it seldom provides the opportunity to savor and revel in the music. Over the course of his more than 50-year career, New Orleans’ favorite son Walter Wolfman Washington has placed serving the music at the top of his to-do list. He began honing his chops in the 1950s backing up artists like his cousin, R&B belter Ernie K-Doe (who hit it big with the 1961 hit Mother-in-Law) and Irm ..read more

CHRIS THOMAS KING Big Grey Sky 21st Century Blues Records – 21CB-2142 It’s remarkable that it’s been 37 years since Chris Thomas King (as Chris Thomas) at age 24 released his first album on Arhoolie Records. During that time he has proved himself to be one of the most vital creative forces working in the blues idiom. There’s no questioning his blues bona fides, having grown up in his father, Rockin’ Tabby Thomas’ Tabby’s Blues Box and Heritage Hall juke joint in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. As a young musician, he backed up his dad and his coterie of area blues artists, including Raful Neal, Henry ..read more

I must object strenuously to a statement in Mark Humphrey’s review of Gayle Dean Wardlow, Stephen Calt, and Edward Komara’s King of the Delta Blues: The Life and Music of Charlie Patton (Knoxville, University of Tennessee Press, 2022), that appeared in Living Blues 284 (May 2023), p. 58. In this review Humphrey revisits an old canard.  He writes about the earlier 1988 published version of the book (by Calt and Wardlow only): “It could have been published at least a decade earlier, were it not for some scholarly skullduggery committed by well-known blues writers who nameless shal ..read more
