Tampa Red - She Want To Sell My Monkey - let me squeeze your lemon
I Wish I Knew How It Would Fee - Nina Simone

"I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free" is a gospel/jazz song written by Billy Taylor and "Dick Dallas", best known for the recording by Nina Simone in 1967 on her Silk & Soul album. Billy Taylor's original version (as "I Wish I Knew") was recorded on...

Turn Me On - Nina Simone

"Turn Me On" is a song by John D. Loudermilk that was first recorded and released by Mark Dinning in 1961, as the B-side to his single "Lonely Island". Other notable versions are by Nellie Rutherford and Nina Simone.[1] Norah Jonesreleased her version as the last single from...

(I Don't Know Why) But I Do - ClarenceFrogmanHenry

"(I Don't Know Why) But I Do" is an R&B song written by Paul Gayten and Bobby Charles (as Robert Guidry), and performed by Clarence "Frogman" Henry. It was Henry's biggest U.S. hit, reaching #4 in early 1961. The B-side on the single release was "Just My Baby and Me"...

White Silver Sands - Chet Atkins

Teensville is the title of a recording by American guitarist and producer Chet Atkins. The idea here was for Chet to release a record appealing to teens who were now interested in rock 'n roll. The original version of "Oh, Lonesome Me", a hit on both the pop and country charts for Don Gibson...

Rescue Me - Fontella Bass

"Rescue Me" is a rhythm and blues song first recorded and released as a single by Fontella Bass in 1965. The original versions of the record, and BMI, give the songwriting credit to Raynard Miner and Carl William Smith, although many other sources also credit Bass herself as a co-writer...

Lulu'S Back In Town - Fats Waller

Fats Waller - Lulu's Back in Town (1935)


Well look who's here
Lulu's back in town
My, my, my, yes, yes, yes

Gotta get my old tuxedo pressed
Gotta sew a button on my vest
'Cause tonight I've gotta look my best
Lulu's back in town

Gotta get a half a buck somewhere
Gotta shine my shoes and slick my hair
Gotta...

Pal Of Mine - Blind Willie McTell

Blind Willie McTell - Pal of Mine (1949/1959)

和友人聊起有關「朋友」主題的歌。在我心中,McTell的這首「Pal of Mine」占首位。原版於1949年錄製 (當年也錄了有好幾個 take ),這個版本是為了專輯 Last Sessions 於1952年重新錄製。McTell先生在 1959 年去世,專輯於1962年發行。在專輯中,McTell在歌與歌之間講述了很多有關他人生的故事,監製把他都保留下來了,非常難得一段口述歷史。這一代藍調樂人的故事很多都不為人知。

在一群藍調大師中,McTell的聲線非常突出及俱有個性。除了彈一手12...

When You Walked Out (Someone Else Walked Right In) - Rosa Henderson

Rosa Henderson - When You Wawlked Out (Someone Else Walked Right In) (1923)

今兒被催更新音樂博客,筆者覺得其實已經夠積極的了啊。

來首20年代早期的女性藍調。20 - 30 年代,特別是20年代,很多女歌手所演唱的藍調都俱有故事性 (novelty)。歌詞裏面除了抱怨生活的艱苦以外 (例如在農場摘棉花的辛苦,鐵路上工作的艱辛等等當時黑奴所受到的壓迫),這些由女歌手演唱的藍調爵士裡也包括了對男人的種種抱怨。有些抱怨還真蠻隱私,例如抱怨夫妻之間的性生活,抱怨她們的男人如何不夠寵愛她們,抱怨...

You Gonna Quit Me Blues - Blind Blake

Blind Blake - You Gonna Quit Me Blues (1927)

這首歌背後有個故事。她和他都喜歡Blind Blake,他有很多歌都受Blake影響,她能聽出來,他感到非常驚訝。後來他們成為了好朋友,靈魂上互相依賴,但在現實中卻不能一起。互相都不能相信大家能在茫茫人海中相遇,所以不希望放棄可貴的緣分。但是夢與現實之間的區別往往是很大的。經過了幾年的掙扎後,誰也還是戒不了誰。他們之間的淵源已陷太深。迫不得已,她給他發了這首歌,以表達其無奈的痛苦。

在聽 The Rise & Fall of Paramount Records (1917 - 1927...

Stack O' Lee Blues - Sol Hoopii

Sol Hoopii - Stack O' Lee Blues (1926)

Sol Hoopii (1920 - 1953) 是著名的夏威夷吉他手,以他的lab steel吉他最為出名。Lab steel吉他是一放在腿上,利用金屬銅管在吉他弦上滑彈的樂器。這種獨特的吉他聲在夏威夷音樂發展史中是非常重要的。後期很多流行音樂都嘗試重新製造這種顫抖,漂浮,夢幻的吉他聲。除了錄製音樂唱片以外,Sol 還曾經出現過在幾部好萊塢電影中,為電影原聲作貢獻。

我們現在聽到的這首 Stack O'Lee Blues, 其實也屬於藍調。我們可以叫它夏威夷藍調。但是它與我們平常在...

Chains of Love - B.B. King

B.B. King - Chains of Love (1962)

此歌首度出現在 B.B. King 的1962專輯 《Mr. Blues》中。B.B. King 有個挺有趣的地方,他不能一邊彈一邊唱...

2014年,峰迴路轉,一個類似 SMac 的人物出現了。得萬分小心,不能再次陷入溺谷。特此奉上 "Chains of Love", 以作警戒。

Love In Vain - Robert Johnson

Robert Johnson - Love in Vain (1937)

可能很多人都會比較熟悉 The Rolling Stones 的 "Love in Vain" 版本,當年專輯《Let it Bleed》(1969) 發行的時候,瘋魔全球。但又有多少人知道他們的靈感來源呢?其實 The Rolling Stones 受了很多早期二戰前美國黑人藍調音樂的影響,他們所做的貢獻,便是把這些早期的藍調流行化,改編成我們現在所知道的Rock (搖滾):把吉他電子化,加上爵士鼓和貝斯,同時也把節奏“浪漫化”。Robert Johnson...

My Brownskin Sugar Plum - Blind Boy Fuller

好久沒播歌了,來。

Blind Boy Fuller - My Brown Skin Sugar Plum (1935)

Where Did You Sleep Last Night? - Leadbelly

Leadbelly - Where Did You Sleep Last Night ? (1940s)


Las Palmas De Maracairbo - Lionel Belasco

Lionel Belasco - Las De Maracairbo (192x)

電影《Ghost World》的原聲選擇還真有品味。這首歌由 Lionel Belasco演奏,大約在1920年代在美國紐約錄音。他出生于西班牙殖民時期的特立尼达和多巴哥,是早期calypso音樂被錄製的極少樂人之一。他創作的歌曲裏面即包含了西班牙傳統音樂,古典音樂,西方民謠,非洲土著音樂,早期藍調等元素,這也是calyso音樂的特別之處。


Lionel Belasco (1881 – c. June 24, 1967) was a prominent pianist, composer and...

Nobody's Sweetheart Now - Tampa Red

Tampa Red - Nobody's Sweetheart Now (1940)

Precious Memories - Sister Rosetta Tharpe

Precious Memories...


回憶的可貴。

Sea of Love - Phil Philips

Phil Philips - Sea of Love (1959)

Tom Waits 像 Jack White等人一樣,也是唱片愛好收藏家。當年他翻錄了一首歌Sea of Love,原唱其實是來自Phil Phillips。最早的版本是在1959年錄製,你即將聽到的這首。

Like Jack White and all, Tom Waits is also a music lover and records collector. He re-recorded the song Sea of Love for one of his albums, but the original version...

Trouble in Mind - Big Bill Broonzy

Trouble in mind....

Shorty The Barber -

睡前,播首歌。

此房間的狀態:

一切靜止,只有蠟燭的燈光在舞蹈。


Standin' In The Rain Blues - Bessie Smith

Bessie Simth - "Standin' In the Rain Blues" (1928)

今天晚上要和小鳥玩藏貓貓,所以提前播歌。1928年的布魯斯。號子的拖長聲,懶惰的抱怨聲,是我最能深刻體會的一種表達....

Tonight, I will be playing "catch me if you can" with a bird, so I am going to post a song ealier. Blues from 1928. That slow, long moan sound from the horn...

If You Need Me (Single/LP Version) - Solomon Burke

Solomon Burke - "If You Need Me" (1963)

今天要介紹給大家的一首歌是Solomon Burke的“If You Need Me"。歌曲錄製於1963年。Solomon Burke是一名很出色的歌手,節奏藍調 (rhythm and blues) 和soul的代表人物。他是soul音樂的奠基人之一。

Today, I would like to introduce a song by Solomon Burke - "If You Need Me". The...

Christmas & New Year's Blues - Tampa Red

「復古音樂博客」聖誕新年特輯:

「Retro Music Blog」Christmas New Year Special:

Tampa Red - "Christmas & New Year's Blues" (1934)

又一個藍調大師。芝加哥風格。吉他彈奏和演唱方式都與 Lonnie Johnson 相似。Lonnie應該是受到他的影響。

Another blues master, Chicago style - the way he plays and sings is rather similar toLonnie Johnson...

Georgia On My Mind - Billie Holiday

Billie Holiday - "Georgia On My Mind" (1941)

1930年由 Hoagy Carmichae作曲,Stuart Gorrell填詞。歌詞是Gorrell為Carmichael的妹妹Georgia所寫的。歌曲曾被很多爵士歌手錄製過,是最出名的爵士歌曲之一。後來更成為美國Georgia省的代表歌曲。

Written in 1930 by Hoagy Carmichael (music) and Stuart Gorrell (lyrics). Gorrell wrote the lyrics for Hoagy'...

Santa Claus Boogie - The Voices

「復古音樂博客」聖誕新年特輯:

「Retro Music Blog」Christmas New Year Special:

Voices - "Santa Claus Boogie" (1955)

快聖誕了,不能沒有rhythm & blues(節奏藍調)。這是早期的R&B, 和我們現在所知道的R&B非常不同。Rhythm & Blues的特點就是有2個以上的薩卡斯,節奏有兩重拍的swing,有時候還會引用 ‘doo-wop',就像這首歌一樣。同時,也有著Boogie Woogie的特徵。

這是...
