FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: The Gibson Lounge |
 Jimbo Mathus and the Starlite Wranglers continue their 5-week, Wednesday night series at the Gibson Lounge with Davis Raines this Wednesday, May 16.Raines didn’t begin his music career until his mid-30s, after he decided to leave behind his job as a captain of a maximum-security prison in Alabama, where, for a time, he was in charge of Death Row. The music on his critically acclaimed 1998 debut, Big Shiny Cars includes hardcore tunes like “Working Homicide”, “Hell for Breakfast”, and “Last Hard Man in Elmore County”. 2003’s Parts Unknown found Raines further developing a broader cross-section of country-tinged singer-songwriter fare with a storyteller’s gift for metaphor. As a songwriter he has a cut on the GRAMMY nominated album Wave On Wave by Pat Green. The album was recently certified Gold. Raines will join the ever-surprising cast of characters of Jimbo Mathus and the Starlite Wranglers at the Gibson Lounge this Wednesday, May 16. The Gibson Lounge is located at 145 Lt. George Lee Ave., across from the FedEx forum. Doors open at 7pm, show starts at 8pm, cover charge is $5. |

Unsung Guitar Hero Les Dudek & Friends FRI. 05.18.2007 · 09:30PM · $32 Les Dudek's name may not be as familiar as The Allman Brothers, Steve Miller or Boz Scaggs, but he contributed his guitar work to the albums that defined those artists.

West Coast Harmonica Master Mark Hummel SAT. 05.19.2007 · 09:30PM · $20 Independent Weekly wrote, "Every time a list of the world's best living harp players comes out, West Coast harpist Mark Hummel makes the top five.

Blues Revue simply states "Mark Hummel is a harmonica god." |

CHICAGO BLUES HARMONICA LEGEND
CAREY BELL 1936 - 2007 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
"Raucous and exuberant in the great Chicago tradition .... SELECTED DISCOGRAPHY |
 Blues harmonica master Carey Bell died on May 6, 2007 of heart failure in his hometown of Chicago, IL. He was 70. Bell the 1998 winner of the Blues Music Award for Traditional Male Artist Of The Year was a veteran of both Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon's bands as well as an award-winning solo artist, and a guest artist on countless blues recordings. Bell's classic, funky and deeply soulful blues place him firmly on the short list of blues harmonica superstars.Bell was one of the very few harmonica players who didn't learn his craft by listening to old records, but by studying directly under his teachers Big Walter Horton, Little Walter Jacobs and Sonny Boy Williamson II. It didn't take long for Bell to develop his signature "chopped" harmonica phrasing and deep-blues style. Carey Bell Harrington was born in Macon, Mississippi on November 14, 1936. A fan of Louis Jordan, Bell originally wanted a saxophone, but economic realities forced his grandfather to buy him a harmonica instead. He taught himself to play by the time he was eight, and began playing professionally with his godfather, pianist Lovie Lee, when he was 13. In 1956, Lee convinced Carey that Chicago was the place to be for aspiring bluesmen, and on September 12, 1956 they arrived. Almost immediately, Bell went to see Little Walter perform at the Club Zanzibar at 14th and Ashland. The two became friends and Walter delighted in showing the youngster some of his tricks. Carey went on to meet and learn from Sonny Boy Williamson II, but it was Big Walter Horton who really inspired him and became his mentor. Carey learned his lessons well but by the late 1950s and early 1960s the gigs were drying up for harp players as the electric guitar began to take over as the predominant instrument of Chicago blues. Bell decided to increase his worth by becoming a bass player (learning the ropes from Hound Dog Taylor). He quickly mastered the instrument and began getting gigs as a bassist with Honeyboy Edwards, Johnny Young, Eddie Taylor, Earl Hooker and Big Walter. While playing bass in Big Walter's band, Bell studied every harp trick in the book first-hand from one of the all-time great harmonica players. Bell, back on harp full-time, recorded behind Earl Hooker in 1968 for Arhoolie. By 1969 Bell was fronting his own band. His friend, harmonica player Charlie Musselwhite brought him over to Bob Koester at Delmark Records in 1969, who promptly signed Bell and recorded CAREY BELL'S BLUES HARP. Bell spent 1971 traveling and recording with Muddy Waters (he can be heard on Muddy's THE LONDON SESSIONS and UNK IN FUNK albums on Chess). Willie Dixon chose Bell for the featured role in his Chicago Blues All-Stars, with whom Bell worked regularly throughout the 1970s, both touring and recording. Even though Dixon kept Carey busy, Bell still found time for his own projects. In 1972 he teamed up with his friend Big Walter and recorded what was to be Alligator Records second-ever release, BIG WALTER HORTON WITH CAREY BELL. In 1973 he made a solo album, LAST NIGHT, for ABC Bluesway and was featured in 1978 on Alligator's Grammy-nominated LIVING CHICAGO BLUES series (both with his own band and playing behind Lovie Lee). By the 1980s Bell had established himself worldwide as a giant among blues harmonica players. He recorded albums as a leader and as a sideman for a variety of labels both in the United States and Europe, and was constantly playing live. In 1990 Bell, along with fellow harpslingers Junior Wells, James Cotton and Billy Branch, got together and recorded the Blues Music Award-winning Alligator album, HARP ATTACK!. In 1995, Bell's very first full-length solo album on Alligator, DEEP DOWN, secured his reputation as a modern blues legend. His follow-ups, 1997's GOOD LUCK MAN (which received a Blues Music Award for Traditional Album of the Year), and 2004's SECOND NATURE (an acoustic album recorded with his guitarist/vocalist son Lurrie Bell), pushed the blues farther out with Bell's rich vocabulary of deep grooves and contemporary sounds. Most recently, in 2007, Delmark Records released GETTIN' UP LIVE, a CD/DVD featuring Bell once again performing with his son Lurrie. Bell fathered 15 children and is survived by 10. |

The Holmes Bros. - Roadhouse Meets Gospel WED. 05.09.2007 · 09:00PM · $20 The spine-tingling harmonies, boundless energy and telepathic musicianship of The Holmes Brothers mixes Saturday night's roadhouse rock with the gospel fervor and harmonies of Sunday's church service. USA Today calls The Holmes Brothers' vision of American roots music "masterful and convincing." Entertainment Weekly says, "The Holmes Brothers are juke-joint vets with a brazenly borderless view of American music." Genre-Bending Songcrafter Paul Thorn THU. 05.10.2007 · 09:00PM · $28 Mark Knopfler says, "Paul Thorn is a rare and addictive mixture of soul, wit, humor and musicality." Kris Kristofferson calls his songs, "absolutely Southern, absolutely original, full of heart and humor and surprises and street-wise details..." Nashville Beat wrote, "A sense of humor, a storyteller's heart and a broad musical sensibility betraying his youth, this fella's genre-bending country/rock/blues is the most accessible music to come along in ages..." Robert Earl Keen says, "To me he's a great performer. I love his stage thing. It's just cool, he's personal, friendly. You just feel comfortable around him." Gritty Louisiana Roots-Rocker Kevin Gordon FRI. 05.11.2007 · 09:30PM · $12 Kevin Gordon performs 'true-to-life storytelling conveyed through primal, satisfying grooves" writes Performing Songwriter. Entertainment Weekly says, "Writing with the poetry and economy of Dave Alvin and Lucinda Williams... the Louisiana roots-rocker returns with more gritty portraits of the down-and-out who can't go home again. He evokes the scorching guitar intensity of Springsteen, an obvious influence on his songs of drunks, highway shootings, and the rusted rails of abandoned towns." Keith Richards so eloquently calls him "f**king bloody William Shakespeare..." Gypsy Jazz with The John Jorgenson Quintet - ONLY FLORIDA SHOW! SAT. 05.12.2007 · 09:30PM · $32 Guitarist John Jorgenson was a founding member of the Desert Rose Band (with Chris Hillman), The Hellecasters and six-year member of Elton John's band. Although Jorgenson is well-renowned in the pop, country and rock world, gypsy jazz is the style of music closest to his heart. Because of his international reputation as a gypsy jazz player, he was twice asked to recreate Django Reinhardt's music for feature films, Gattica and Head in The Clouds.
