Bøger om Blues

Én af landets mest populære sangskrivere sætter ord på sit livs lyse nætter med musik, skæve Dalton-dage, kvinder og lidenskab men også et liv med dystre dage, dæmoniske drukture og en evigt, borende længsel. Lars Lilholt fortæller sin egen families historie og giver et enestående indblik i, hvad der har formet mennesket bag Danmarks største kærlighedssang "Kald det Kærlighed." "På scenen var min fornemmelse og timing fantastisk, men i privatlivet var alt kaos. Der skulle stadig gå mange år, før jeg lærte, at man må og skal lægge sine inderste drømme ud for hinandens fødder. Man skal turde lægge sine sorte huller frem i lyset. Derude er deres sugende tyngdekraft ikke så stor, og de bliver lettere at se og nemmere at undgå. Havde jeg i tide fortalt Bente om knivene, om fantasiprinsessen Birgitte, om angstanfaldende, om savnet, om tvivlen så havde livet måske set anderledes ud. Men jeg skulle først lære at være ved, hvem jeg er. "

Song Atlas is a unique piece of social history by a German rhythm and blues fan who traveled the United States searching for the places referred to in the great blues and rock songs he loved so much. But his investigation of place and inspiration demanded a thoughtful reckoning with the whole of American culture, particularly White racism from the earliest years of the nation to the present. Rich in biographical detail about a host of America's great songwriters and players, famous or obscure, it also includes nuanced analysis of the music and lyrics. Balanced between personal impressions and the historical record, Song Atlas is a valuable collection of insights concerning a vast culture always in flux, an idiosyncratic tour of America in song.

[This book] invites readers to follow along the Blind Boys' eight-decade journey together, from a segregated trade school through the rough and tumble indie record game and grinding tour schedule of the golden age of gospel, to starring in an iconic Broadway musical, performing at the White House for three presidents twice, collaborating with Tom Petty, Lou Reed, and Ben Harper, among others, singing the theme song for 'The Wire,' and winning five Grammys.

Born in 1897, Jefferson was a blind street musician who played his guitar at the corner of Elm Street and Central Avenue in the Deep Ellum area of Dallas, Texas, until a Paramount Records scout discovered him. Between 1926 and his untimely death in 1929, Jefferson made more than 80 records and became the biggest-selling blues singer in America. Although his recordings are extensive, details about his life are relatively few. Through Govenar and Lornell's extensive interviews and research, See That My Grave is Kept Clean gathers the scattered facts behind Blind Lemon Jefferson's mythic representations"--

Born into poverty in Mississippi at the close of the nineteenth century, Charley Patton and Jimmie Rodgers established themselves among the most influential musicians of their era. In Tune tells the story of the parallel careers of these two pioneering recording artists -- one white, one black -- who moved beyond their humble origins to change the face of American music. At a time when segregation formed impassable lines of demarcation in most areas of southern life, music transcended racial boundaries. Jimmie Rodgers and Charley Patton drew inspiration from musical traditions on both sides of the racial divide, and their songs about hard lives, raising hell, and the hope of better days ahead spoke to white and black audiences alike. Their music reflected the era in which they lived but evoked a range of timeless human emotions. As the invention of the phonograph disseminated traditional forms of music to a wider audience, Jimmie Rodgers gained fame as the "Father of Country Music," while Patton's work eventually earned him the title "King of the Delta Blues." Patton and Rodgers both died young, leaving behind a relatively small number of recordings. Though neither remains well known to mainstream audiences, the impact of their contributions echoes in the songs of today. The first book to compare the careers of these two musicians, In Tune is a vital addition to the history of American music.

"Founded in 1917, Paramount Records was but one of the home-grown record labels of the New York Recording Laboratories (NYRL), a subsidiary of a chair company in Wisconsin with operations near Lake Michigan. No outsized hopes were pinned to Paramount or its sister companies; its founders knew nothing of the music business, the records themselves were only to drive sales of expensive phonograph cabinets they had recently begun manufacturing. Lacking both the resources and the interest to compete for top talent, Paramount's earliest recordings were gained little foothold with the listening public. By 1922, on the threshold of bankruptcy, Paramount embarked on a new business plan that had recently proven successful for other record companies: selling the music of Black artists to Black audiences. Advertising in newspapers dedicated to Black readership and utilizing other strategies such as local talent scouts and sales agents in the South, unconventional distribution channels, an 'open door' recording policy, direct mail order and the eventual hiring of the first Black record executive in a white-owned record company, Paramount expanded its footprint and eventually garnered many of the biggest selling titles in the 'race records' era. By the time it ceased operations in 1932, NYRL had pressed and shipped hundreds of thousands of records, including more than 2,300 recordings of blues, gospel and jazz in its Paramount 'race' series alone, with a slate of performers including the likes of Louis Armstrong, Charley Patton, Ethel Waters, Son House, Fletcher Henderson, Skip James, Alberta Hunter, Blind Blake, King Oliver, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Ma Rainey, Johnny Dodds, Papa Charlie Jackson, and Jelly Roll Morton. In short, Paramount accidentally accomplished what others could not. On the one hand, Scott Blackwood's The Rise and Fall of Paramount is the story of happenstance. But it is also a tale about the sheer force of the Great Migration and the legacy of the music put down into the shellacked grooves of a 78 record: Black America finding its voice. It is the story the legacy of the Great Migration and how blues, jazz, and folk music transcended boundaries, and how this almost never happened. Blackwood brings to life these many moments-through creative nonfiction-and makes present and full-blooded what hadn't been brought to life before"--
