Jimmy Brown photo by David True. Guitar Emporium photo by Gary Sampson. Jimmy Brown, local bass player and owner of Guitar Emporium in the Highlands, announced recently that he will be retiring and closing the store on March 9th. Brown has owned the business since he purchased it from Bill Hawkins in 1976. The store has always done well because of its reputation in the music community but Brown wants to spend more time with his new grandson and making music. Past customers include members of Jethro Tull, The Who and The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Billy Gibbons and Bob Dylan among many others. Jimmy Brown was awarded the Kentuckiana Blues Society’s Sylvester Weaver award in 2011. We want to thank him for his devotion to our local music scene and look forward to seeing him per-form in the coming years.

For the second year in a row I attended the International Blues Challenge (IBC) in Memphis, TN at the beginning of the February. I enjoyed my first trip there last year so much I wanted to go back again. Screamin' John Hawkins wasn't too far off when he called the IBC "Disneyland for blues fans." Beale Street is filled with blues music from 11:00 am to 3:00 am every day during the contest. This year I saw 42 acts (30 in competition) perform over the four days. Unlike last year I made sure to study the IBC handbook and pick out all the blues acts I wanted to see. Greg McCullough and I would hop from bar to bar during the day and into the night, catching as many shows as we could. Some of my first time favorites included Mike Milligan & the Altar Boyz from Austin, TX, the Sugar Thieves from Phoenix, AZ and the Ori Naftaly Band from Tel Aviv, Israel. The KBS was represented by Joe DeBow & Danny Henderson in the solo/duo division and Lamont Gillispie & 100 Proof Blues in the band division. While neither act made it past the quarterfinals, both put on great shows and have every reason to hold their heads high. The band contest was won by the Selwyn Birchwood Band representing the Sun-coast Blues Society. The solo/duo contest was won by Little G Weevil representing the Atlanta Blues Society. The Montreal Blues Society's Solo Recordings by Steve Hill was selected as
the best self-produced CD. We'll have photos and more information about the event in a future edition of Blues News and very soon, we'll announce the dates for this year's KBS blues contests. As the Staple Singers song goes, "Let's Do It Again!"
Notable Shows this month include Buddy Guy and Jonny Lang at the Kentucky Center on Tuesday, March 5. If you did-n't catch them when they were here for the IBC fundraiser, Toad Strangler of Bowling Green, KY will be back at Stevie Ray's on Friday, March 8. On Sunday. March 10 the reigning queen of the blues Shemekia Copeland will be at Nata-sha's Bistro in Lexington, KY. Stevie Ray's will host its annual Hall of Fame Benefit for the Animal Care Society on Sun-day, March 17. The schedule includes The Predators, Little T&A, The Decades, da Mudcats and the Clay Street Blues All Stars. The two newest inductees will join Bob Ramsey, Eddy Weigleb, Jimi V, Jimmy Gardner, Lamont Gillispie, Mike Lynch, Rick Cain, Ricky Mason, Steve Ferguson and Susan O'Neil on Stevie Ray's wall. Frank Bang and the Secret Stash of Chicago return to Stevie Ray's for the first time in two years on Saturday, March 23.
The Kentuckiana Blues Society would once again like to thank KBS member John Browning. In 2010, John made a very generous donation to the blues society consisting of 188 CD's, 48 DVD's and 133 magazines. If you've taken a chance on a blues basket at one of our events, chances are some of John's donated items were in the basket. After his unselfish display, the KBS board voted to make John a lifetime member of the KBS. Recently John made another donation of 61 CD's, 17 DVD's and 29 magazines. It's the loyal support of members like John that makes us able to continue to do our work and "preserve, promote and perpetuate the blues tradition."

Letter From The Prez

New Music Reviews!
Bluesbenders Prodigal Son Alfresco Studios
The opening cut “Cat Fish Walk” has that “Tony Joe White” feel. Reminds me of my boyhood days on the Salt River in West Point, KY. All of the cuts are good! I am going to mention my fa-vorites here. Prodigal Son definitely has that old-time R n R feel. But my favorite is “Slow and Easy”. The opening has that Major to Relative minor vamp that is used in many classic songs. “Slick As A Cat” is a funky minor groove; so is “Jimmy’s Blues”. But, the latter has a “California”
feel that the acoustic guitar gives it. All the musicians are very good and John Burgard shows his guitar and arranging skills to be quite exemplary. A great effort by local musicians. Great recording by Jeff Carpenter of Alfresco Studios. Check it out.
Jim Masterson
Diana Krall Glad Rag Doll Verve
Disclaimer/Writer's Note, Fine Print, Introductory Commentary, etc., etc., etc...With a string of not-so-bluesy "blues" recordings showing up in the KBS new CD coffers recently (of which this re-viewer selected a fair share not knowing beforehand the amount of blues content) it was quite a surprise that a personal purchase at a store turned up some pretty strong blues content in the form of "Glad Rag Doll," Canadian jazz artist Diana Krall's latest release. Pretty much hot off the press
(less than two weeks old as of this writing), this CD offers one exquisite listening experience after another....and, as mentioned, blues content. So, into the review bin it goes...
Diana Krall's latest release "Glad Rag Doll" consists of 13 piano-driven songs plus four bonus tracks--selected by pro-ducer T Bone Burnett from 35 tunes taken from the music collection of none other than that of Ms. Krall's father. (Krall presented it to Burnett and simply allowed him to choose.) These tunes represent jazz, vaudeville, the American song book and blues songs of the era between the two World Wars--a time when jazz and blues were more closely and more often intertwined. Of course, it must be noted here that the blues content is often provided more by tone, mood, chord progression and treatment than by simply re-creating an established blues song. Several of the tunes have very strong blues elements, such as "Here Lies Love," "Prairie Lullaby," "Let It Rain," and "Lonely Avenue" deserving the most men-tion where this is concerned.
As mentioned, it's the piano featured on these tunes that really gives them the solid foundation. Krall's breathy, smoky and sometimes languid delivery gives them the character and personality, while guest artists like guitarists Colin Linden (who plays some excellent slide) and Marc Ribot add the "icing on the cake." (And how sweet it is!) Perhaps one of the best tunes on the CD is the toe-tapper "I'm a Little Mixed Up" which combines all the best ingredients that makes this re-cording so good. In fact, it's pretty much a guarantee you'll be hitting the repeat button several times on this one.
So, the final verdict: Well, while, once again, it doesn't quite fit 100% in the bona-fide blues category, there's enough in it to warrant a review for this newsletter. And for Diana Krall fans, it's an absolute must. She's created another gem. In a word, classy.

Contino Back Porch Dogma Blind Pig Records
This band is led by Pete Contino. Some music fans may recognize the name. Pete is the son of legendary accordionist and singer Dick Contino, a hugely successful performer in the late 40's and early 50's who appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show" a record 48 times, and the man who made "Lady of Spain" a No. 1 hit. Pete toured with his father for over fifteen years as his drum-mer. While on the road he honed his skills on the accordion and as a songwriter and singer. While Pete embraces his heritage, he has decided to take the accordion in a different direction,
writing and performing original songs with Rob Edwards, Al Elk, Jim Lovegren and BillyTruett in a style that has been de-scribed as "acoustic zydeco/blues Americana."
The quintet's unique mixture of roots music style has earned a growing fan base in both North America and Europe. Contino was formed in 2009 with a mission of writing songs that are "outside the box, yet authentic." All the band mem-bers were involving in writing the nine original compositions on Back Porch Dogma. The CD features a guest appear-ance on a Contino-penned track by Maria Muldaur. The four covers include tunes from Tom Waits and the songwriting
5 BLUES NEWS March 2013
team of Leiber and Stoller.
The music is yet another group of originals that will thrill the blues/zydeco music enthusiast. From the first song, “Rotgut Run” to the last, “Dino’s”, the music will entertain you. Of the 13 songs, there are some slower songs here and some that will force you to tap your feet to the beat. The harmonica is occasionally used here in juxtaposition to the accordion, making an interesting mix.
This is a good CD (as should be expected from Blind Pig), and has not gotten the marketing it deserves. Learn more and listen to samples at www.blindpigrecords.com.

Josh Garrett String of Problems CD Baby
Josh Garrett played at the Smokin’ on the River in 2012 in Jeffersonville as well as at the 2010 KBS Birthday Party. He picked up some followers and had a lot of people enjoying his style of Louisiana blues music at the recent festival. This CD is mostly music that he played at that festi-val. All originals, the 11 songs leave no doubt of his musical heritage.
The Fender swamp music is the signature sound of Garrett and Tab Benoit. Garrett’s slant on the music is unique though and has a little soul thrown in. His young energetic style is danceable on some songs. Garrett’s previous CDs were quite a statement for the musician. This follow on CD is not as original, but injects some country and creole influences (I Miss My Baby), and includes a lot of horns (his live performance at the birthday party was made exciting by the horns).
This music is certainly not traditional blues. It definitely has a blues background, but you have to appreciate Louisiana style music (accordions etc) to be taken in by this music.
All in all, I would rate this CD as OK. The songs are not outstanding, and in fact at least one bored me (I Miss My Baby). I like Josh live and like his previous CD’s. He is a talented musician, but this CD is a bit of a disappointment.

Cassie Taylor Blue Hypertension
Is Cassie Taylor wanting to establish herself as a blues singer? Don't know. She has established herself quite well as a talented bassist and backup singer in her father Otis Taylor's band -- and perhaps, purely by association with the somber-looking trance-blues, banjo-plucking songwriter, she considers herself a blueswoman. This recording, her own, won't convince anyone that's what she is.
There are other things unknown regarding this recording, since a promo copy provides very little information. All that can be gleaned is that Taylor wrote all 10 songs, and, depending on your personal taste, that she's attractive from how she appears on the cover photo.
That being said, the CD is good. Overall, a nice effort. Taylor's breathy, and very youthful sounding, soprano is featured prominently throughout. In fact, the bass, which must be assumed she plays as it is the instrument for which she is known, is barely audible. Taylor's voice is sweet - although, it would be nice to hear her really push, get "dirty" some-times. And once in a while, youth comes back to bite her with a flattened or a less-than-totally-stable note. Maturity should take care of that.
Generally, the instrumentation is very good, and guitar is featured throughout, with some stinging solos. And, speaking of stinging, Taylor's lyrics are at times written with quite a sting of their own - a bit of an ironic twist given her soft vocals.
Blues? Track two is the strongest in that category -- well, it's about the only tune where it can be definitely said "that's blues!" Taylor's voice caresses very note of this slow, sensual tune which, ironically, due to the way she delivers it, might only serve to further attract the lover she seems to be trying to push away because she's "Spoken For." Track seven could be classified as an up-tempo funk-blues number, with in-your-face lyrics that illustrate the age-old dilemma of what happens when a songwriting lover is jilted.
The CD ends on a non-blues note, but the song is worth mentioning simply due to its "made-for-tv-or-radio" simple mel-ody.
Overall, Taylor has talent and, with age, will only get better. The CD is good. Just don't stick it in your blues bucket.

6 BLUES NEWS March 2013
The Blues Foundation announces the 2013 inductees for the Blues Hall of Fame, including soul blues singer Otis Clay, blues guitarists' guitarist Earl Hooker, pianist Little Brother Montgomery, The Blue Yodeler Jimmie Rod-gers, contemporary progressive bluesman Joe Louis Walker, and early Chi-cago guitarist Jody Williams.
Among the individuals recognized by The Blues Foundation for their behind-the-scenes contributions are: quintessential re-cord promoter Dave Clark, producer, ar-ranger and songwriter Henry Glover, and New Orleans studio magician Cosimo Ma-tassa. The book, Soulsville, USA: The Story of Stax Records by Rob Bowman is the sole literature entry into the Blues Hall of Fame this year. These albums are being honored: Complete Recorded Works (Herwin 1975), also recorded as Texas Worried Blues (Yazoo 1989) by Henry
"Ragtime Texas" Thomas; More Real Folk Blues by Howlin' Wolf on Chess from 1967; and Louis Jordan's Greatest Hits by Louis Jordan (Decca, 1969). The following singles will be inducted during the ceremony: “How Many More Years” by Howlin' Wolf (Chess 1951); “Canned Heat Blues” by Tommy Johnson (Victor 1928); “Let the Good Times Roll” by Louis Jor-dan (Decca 1946); “Mystery Train” by Little Junior [Parker]'s Blue Flames (Sun 1953); and “Me and My Chauffeur Blues” by Memphis Minnie (Okeh
1941) The induction ceremony will be held Wednesday, May 8, at the Memphis Mar-riott Downtown in Memphis, Tennessee, the night before the 34th Blues Music Awards. With living musicians like B.B. King and Buddy Guy, and legends like Muddy Waters, the Blues Hall of Fame consists of blues music’s best and brightest stars. The Blues Foundation is currently in the midst of its "Raise the Roof!" cam-paign to help fund the construction of a Blues Hall of Fame and Museum in downtown Memphis. So far the effort has raised $1.5 million of the projected $2.5 million budget.
For more information about the Hall of Fame or the Blues Music Awards, visit the website at www.blues.org.
