CD and DVD RELEASES

MITCH KASHMAR

Wake Up and Worry

Delta Groove Productions is proud to present the brand new release WAKE UP AND WORRY by harmonica ace Mitch Kashmar. Following on the heels of his previous effort NICKELS & DIMES which earned him a nomination for "Best New Artist Debut" in the 2006 Blues Music Awards, Mitch Kashmar continues to evolve as an artist.

WAKE UP AND WORRY finds Mitch once again joined by an all-star ensemble that includes Junior Watson, Rusty Zinn, John Marx and Alastair Greene on guitars, along with support from Hollywood Blue Flames alumni Fred Kaplan on piano and Richard Innes on drums. The results are an album full of swirling fat-toned harp, original songs infused with a quirky sense of humor and sly wit, as well as classic material by Little Walter and Johnny "Guitar" Watson.

MICHELE AND THE MIDNIGHT BLUES

A Night of Storytelling

"A Night of Storytelling" is a LIVE recording from Michele and the Midnight Blues. It includes the stories behind most of the songs within.

It is not pristine, nor meant to be. It is an honest look at what makes a song happen, often funny even when the song is sad. This was the CD they said no one would air but it has aired! Plus, one DJ listens on the way to work, another at bed time and one more while having wine. This is the perfect distraction to a hard day. It is not mean to be played with minor children in the room and does contain FCC Warnings for Radio Stations on 2 songs. Doctor Lou already spins 'White Women Get the Blues Too', & Feminine Groove has already aired 'Ain't Got Paid, Ain't Got Laid'.

NEWS FLASH

BEATLES ALBUM COVERS TO BE FEATURED ON BRITISH POSTAGE STAMPS

Britain's Royal Mail has announced that five of the Beatles' classic album covers will be issued on a set of British stamps in January. The London Times reported that the group's With The Beatles, Revolver, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Abbey Road, and Let It Be albums will be featured on the commemorative stamps.

A Royal Mail spokesman said that, "The Beatles special stamps promise to be a big hit with fans the world over when they go on sale... Royal Mail is featuring some 'first class' Beatles album covers to commemorate the UK band that stands for all that's great in popular culture."

Last year the official rule that the Royal Family were the only "identifiable" living people to be featured on stamps was lifted.

There's no word whether other Beatles albums such as Please Please Me, A Hard Day's Night, Beatles For Sale, Help!, Rubber Soul, Magical Mystery Tour, The Beatles (commonly known as "The White Album"), and Yellow Submarine, all of which should also count as "first class," will be featured on future postage stamps.

Last Surviving Paramount Blues Recording Artist Mr. Henry Townsend to Be Honored With First Walk of Fame Piano Key in Grafton, Wisconsin

GRAFTON, WI-- Legendary blues recording artist Mr. Henry Townsend, 96 [pictured at left] in conjunction with his appearance at the Inaugural Paramount Blues Festival on September 23, 2006, will be the first inductee in the Paramount Plaza Walk of Fame during a ceremony to be held at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, September 24, 2006.

The key, the first of 44 "piano keys," is 2 feet wide by 7 feet long and made of black granite to resemble a keyboard. Annually additional keys, placed by the Village of Grafton, will be inscribed with artists names that recorded for Paramount Records. Other inductees were chosen by the Paramount GIG organization in Grafton. In addition to Mr. Townsend, this year's inductees also include Charley Patton, Ma Rainey, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Skip James, and Thomas Dorsey. The ceremony is scheduled to take place in the Paramount Plaza.

Mr. Townsend, 96, will perform the day before at the Grafton Blues Association's Inaugural Paramount Blues Festival at 1:30 p.m. For information on the inaugural Paramount Blues Festival visit www.graftonblues.org. For more information on the plaza and ceremony or to make a donation call the Grafton Area Chamber of Commerce at 262-377-1650.

YouTube, Warner Music Ink Partnership

Music videos will be legally available for the first time on online community YouTube after signing its first commercial partnership with Warner Music Group.

Music videos belonging to Warner Music and other record companies are regularly uploaded to YouTube by its users but usually without permission from the labels.

The partnership, which has been in discussions for months, was signed late on Sunday afternoon. It comes just days after Universal Music Group, which is owned by Vivendi, described YouTube and News Corp.'s social networking site MySpace of being "copyright infringers" who he said owe the music industry "tens of millions of dollars."

YouTube and Warner Music said the deal would enable both parties to generate and share revenue created by advertising, which will be featured around the videos.

When You Are Walking In Memphis: Beale Street

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - Fried grits, down-home blues and a new luxury hotel will be central to the newest development taking shape in the city's famed Beale Street entertainment district.

The $52 million project, called Lee's Landing, will include Beale Street's first hotel - with a top floor fitted out with oversized rooms for pro basketball players - and a Ground Zero Blues Club.

"People want to hear the real Delta blues, and we're going to offer that," said Bill Luckett, a co-owner with actor Morgan Freeman of the original Ground Zero in Clarksdale, Miss.

Lee's Landing is named for Lt. George Lee, a black World War I veteran, community leader and reputed political boss of Beale Street in the early 1900s.

Bawdy and bustling in those days, Beale Street was an entertainment and business center frequented by black folks from throughout the Memphis and Mississippi Delta regions.

But by the 1970s, the nightclubs that once hosted entertainers such as W.C. Handy, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington and B.B. King were gone. Political and social shifts had turned the strip into a run-down cluster of empty buildings.

The strip began a comeback in the 1980s, however, and now the Beale Street Historic District, with its bars, restaurants and shops, is a major tourist attraction and a key part of the revival of downtown Memphis.

FIRST THE BLUES, NOW THE REDS, THE WHITES AND THE ROSE'

Blues Brother, Dan Aykroyd and Diamond Estates Wines & Spirits will launch a new line of Dan Aykroyd-labeled wines in 2007. The wine will be available in two ranges, the Dan Aykroyd Signature Reserve Series of super-premium offerings and the Dan Aykroyd Discovery Series of mid-priced wines.

The first wine to be released under the Dan Aykroyd label will be his Signature Reserve VQA Niagara Peninsula Vidal Icewine 2005, which will be available in 2007.

"Canadian Icewine is known internationally for its uniqueness and excellence. Launching my premium line of wines with this Canadian icon could not be more fitting," commented Aykroyd. "I am excited to report that every bottle of Dan Aykroyd Signature Reserve VQA Vidal Icewine 2005 has been allocated for sale to our key clientele and has been fully subscribed before even being released, which is a testament to the great winemaking team at Lakeview Cellars who are working with me on this."

The Dan Aykroyd Signature Reserve VQA Vidal Icewine 2005 is made from 100% Vidal grapes harvested from select vineyards in the Niagara Peninsula. Unlike most Icewines, the Aykroyd Vidal Icewine is fermented and aged in French oak barrels, which add additional complexity and subtle oak character to its floral honeyed apricot notes and mouth-filling structure.

Aykroyd developed his love of fine wine while working on Saturday Night Live and the first Blues Brothers movie. Musician Steve Cropper introduced him to Bordeaux Premier Cru and other premium vintages and, ever since, he has sampled the top local wines wherever he travels.

ERIC CLAPTON HAS A NEW BOOK COMING OUT

The word on the street is that Eric Clapton has a new book coming out. Patti Boyd has always said she had an agreement with EC that she would never kiss & tell, however she feels now that Clapton is going to speak about her, she is putting a book out also. Looks like you will have to buy the two books to see both sides of the coin.

KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD WEDS MEL GIBSON'S DAUGHTER

Blues-Rock guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd last weekend married Hannah, Mel Gibon's only daughter. Shepherd 29, and Gibson, 26 exchanged their vows in California.

He proposed to Gibson on New Year's Eve 2004 in Rome.

RECORD LABEL NEWS:

SANTANA PRESENTS BLUES AT MONTREUX OCTOBER 17

New York, NY (September 14, 2006)—In the biggest and most ambitious blues installment yet of Eagle Vision’s critically-acclaimed “Live At Montreux” series, a massive three-DVD set—Carlos Santana Presents Blues At Montreux 2004—will be released on October 17. This has to be looked upon as one of the great blues “events” of the year as Bobby Parker, Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown and Buddy Guy each get their own DVD…with Carlos Santana acting as Musical Director and Lead Guitarist, and Chic’s Nile Rodgers jamming and performing like you’ve never heard him before.

Bobby Parker is a DC-based bluesman who, in the 1950s, played rock’n’roll guitar behind Bo Diddley, Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson and The Everly Brothers.

The late Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown kept rockin’ into his 80s with a wide swath of music in his purview. The violinist/guitarist veered from Western Swing to Blues to Jazz to Rock in a heartbeat. There were no musical boundaries for this titan.

Buddy Guy is one of the last of a dying breed. He’s the current king of the Chicago bluesmen, having learned from Muddy himself as well as Howling Wolf, Guitar Slim and Willie Dixon. His frenetic latter-day rock wildness is a direct descendent of the days when performers had to do something—anything!—to get the attention of brawling boozing bar patrons who would just as soon hit you over the head with a broken bottle than ask for an encore. Guy is, arguably, the most electrifying blues performer the genre has ever seen.

ROOMFUL OF BLUES TO APPEAR ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA

Rhode Island's most famous blues band, Roomful of Blues, will appear live on Good Morning America on Sunday, September 24 at 8:30am ET. They will perform Just Keep on Rocking off their latest Alligator CD, STANDING ROOM ONLY. The show is featuring the Taste of Rhode Island that day, where Roomful of Blues is scheduled to perform.

LIL' ED SONG TO APPEAR ON NBC'S HIT TELEVISION SHOW, MY NAME IS EARL

Lil' Ed & the Blues Imperials' Spend Some Time With Me (from RATTLESHAKE) will be used as background music in an upcoming episode of NBC television's hit show, My Name is Earl. The episode is set to air on November 2.

ERIC LINDELL SONG INCLUDED IN NATIONWIDE CHRYSLER PROMOTION

Give it Time, the first single from Eric Lindell's critically acclaimed Alligator debut CD, CHANGE IN THE WEATHER, will be included in a special enhanced CD promotion spearheaded by automaker Daimler/Chrysler. An initial run of 150,000 cds will be given away aw dealerships, special events and concerts from October through December 2006.

KOKO TAYLOR ISSUES WAKE UP CALL FOR CHICAGO-AREA McDONALD'S RESTAURANTS

Queen of the Blues Koko Taylor, who is currently finishing up work on a new CD scheduled for 2007 release, recently recorded a "Wake Up Call" for a McDonald's promotion in the Chicago area. In the promotion, customers can call a special number and choose to have a recorded message from Koko call their phone at a pre-designated time

ON THE BLUE HIGHWAY WITH

TOM AND CHERYL

(Installment # 3) Joining us for an early departure from Pascagoula on Sunday morning (September 10^th) were members of O. B. Buchanan’s band, including guitarist James Holly, with whom Tom resumed his chat from the evening before. While they headed directly back to Memphis, we hustled off for a more scenic trip back to Jackson via SE Louisiana, Natchez, and Vicksburg. Our goal was to meet Bobby Rush on Monday for his school youth program. Late back to Jackson from the road, Bobby Rush (he says, “It’s not “Bobby; it’s Bobby Rush – could be asking for Bobby Bland, you know…”) had to cancel the school program, so arrangements were made to meet him the following day for lunch.

Cell phone in hand, he directs us to his home and greets us warmly. Inside, we meet his wife, who’s on her way to a meeting, son Carl, and granddaughter Sharon. Waiting for a break for lunch, we witness why Bobby Rush says he is the hardest working musician in the business. It’s tiring just watching this 73 year-old multi-tasker buzz about. He makes the deals. Then he hands them off to Carl, who “makes it happen” – contracts, travel arrangements, details. Bobby Rush does 350 shows a year, and it’s always been about taking care of business – for over 40 years now.

“Hey, Bobby Rush. We caught you on a busy day. We’ll have lunch another time.”

But, he won’t have it, and soon we’re in his car and heading for the “Old Country Kitchen,” a southern “soul food” kitchen disguised as a garage in a residential neighborhood in Southwest Jackson. Only the small “Old Country Kitchen” sign above the door and the sweet smells wafting about in the yard give hint to the treasures waiting inside. We’ve had our share of soul food, but none compares to the heavenly treats that are piled on our plates.

A dozen local ministers, all who exchange greetings with Bobby Rush, share the dining room with us. Bobby explains that he works with them in doing “jail ministry.” Conversation is as tasty as the food. Jail ministry, life in Jackson, blues stories – ours mostly from our on-going trip and Bobby’s from his vast vault of tales. It got more hilarious as it went along until we could barely maintain ourselves while we ate. Ever the master of the quick costume change in his shows, Bobby told us how necessity first taught him to master this skill years ago in Chicago while serving simultaneously as both Emcee and headliner in a club – and getting paid for each. Details will have to wait for another time.

Bobby Rush with a model diddly-bow with pool cue handle

After lunch, we got a quick tour of the home – an “all in one” place just like the guy. Comfortable, simple, elegant, functional. Bobby’s been here for 20 years. It’s been studio, office, packaging and distribution center, and home. Mostly home. Proudly displayed are a model diddly-bow – pool cue handle joined to a cigar box, a reminder of the old one-stringed, home-made “guitar” so many southern musicians started with – and a glittery, gold colored “musical note” that Bobby rescued from an old bar where he once played. Then there are the awards – at least a few of them. Some had to come down for the grandkids’ room. The “hardest working musician in the business” is much more than just consummate musician and entertainer… He’s a family man who’s active in his community, a spiritual being, a business man, and a darned nice guy.

The historic Blue Front Cafe in Bentonia, Mississippi

We say our good-bys and head for another treat in Bentonia, Mississippi, home of Jimmy “Duck” Holmes owner of the historic Blue Front Café, a jook joint opened by his mother in 1948 and kept alive for its place in history – “not the money,” says Holmes!!!

Before Jimmy Holmes, Bentonia was home to Skip James, Jack Owens, and Henry Stuckey, who Duck says was undoubtedly the originator of the Bentonia style of Blues. James and Owens learned from Stuckey, and Jimmy “Duck” Holmes keeps the Bentonia blues tradition alive through his tutoring by the now departed Owens. Unless someone comes along to pick up the thread, “Duck” is the last of a line, the only musician still known to be playing the Bentonia blues.

Bentonia style bluesman Jimmy "Duck" Holmes

Jimmy is a quiet, modest man but warms to his topic quickly, eager for us to learn about his unique style of country blues. Soon, his guitar comes out, and he’s hoping Tom will become the next student of the Bentonia style. Well, that didn’t seem like it was going to happen, so Jimmy worked through four or five tunes, bending strings and vocals to draw those incredibly haunting, hypnotic Bentonia sounds. We didn’t expect a private show, but what a treat!!!

Thank you Jimmy “Duck” Holmes for another amazing moment on our Journey!

It’s back on the Blues Road for now. Next stops will be in northeastern Mississippi at Ole Miss in Oxford, home of Living Blues magazine, and Holly Springs for visits to Rust College and an adventure -- or “misadventure” -- at Aikei Pro’s Record Store.

Back on the Blues trail,

-- Cheryl and Tom
