2000 Maniacs ! (aka YEEEHAA !)

Image
Hey friends, you know that silly songs and halloween match fine for me (& you), and it ain’t over yet ! A good example ? I just wanted to share this one with you (and make you discover a beautiful world btw)… Hershell Gordon Lewis ! 'The Godfather of Gore', so-named for his numerous psychotronic classics (37 and counting!), including She-Devil on Wheels, Blood Feast, and the newly released Blood Feast 2 to name a few, contributing vocals, lyrics, and music, and backed by Cleveland's own Amazing Pink Holes, H.G. delivers rousing renditions of his theme songs from his films Moonshine Mountain and 2000 Maniacs! (One of my all time fav, filmed in 14 days) The blood-splattered 6" was strictly limited to 2000 maniacal copies and will not be repressed. (I have one I have one) This release marked the return of The Amazing Pink Holes, recording for the first time in 15-plus years ! Now all together : YEEEEEEEEEHAA !!! (Plus the original track of course !) Hershell Gordon

Mickey & Sylvia !

Image
Had a good Halloween ? Mine was perfect ! It’s always good to hear the neighbours the next morning saying ‘Did you hear the chainsaw and the screams at 4 am ?’… Anyway, back to action, let's shake some dust ! Yeah, Mickey Baker and Sylvia Vanderpool !!! This popular duo began recording together in 1956 and enjoyed an US R&B chart-topper that year with ‘Love Is Strange’, which peaked at number 11 in the US pop chart the following year. This enduring call-and-response song is rightly regarded as a classic of its genre, and later became a minor UK hit when recorded by the Everly Brothers. Prolific session work for Atlantic Records, Savoy, King and Aladdin earned the former the epithet Mickey ‘Guitar’ Baker, while the latter had made her recording debut with jazz trumpeter Oran ‘Hot Lips’ Page as early as 1950. Yep, Mickey was a music instructor and Sylvia one of his pupils ! The duo eventually bought their own nightclub, established a publishing company, and formed their own recor

Ronnie Hawkins !

Image
Yep, Ronald "Ronnie" Hawkins is a cousin to fellow rockabilly artist Dale Hawkins ! Known as "Rompin' Ronnie" Hawkins or "The Hawk", he was a key player in the 1960s rock scene in Toronto, Canada and his career has spanned 50 years ! Hawkins was born in 1935 in Huntsville, Arkansas and came to Canada in 1958. His first gig was at the Brass Rail Tavern in London, Ontario where he became an overnight success. Hawkins decided to move to Canada permanently, and in 1964 became a permanent resident. After a move to Ontario, as band members dropped out- with the exception of drummer Levon Helm, they were replaced with four Canadian musicians who eventually moved on with Helm as their fifth member, backing Bob Dylan in the late 1960s, after developing a world-famous sound and band of their own, taking the name, The Band. Other musicians Hawkins recruited provided the makings of Robbie Lane & The Disciples, and Janis Joplin's Full Tilt Boogie Band. Anyw

Ken Nordine's Colors !

Image
The voice-over man from a thousand commercials in the US, Ken Nordine registers in your subconscious instantly: Wait, I know that guy! Smooth as an ice sculpture and ringing with "the voice of a sponsor," Nordine has personified authority since the 1960s. During the 1940s, he was heard on The World's Great Novels and other radio programs broadcast from Chicago. He attracted much wider attention when he recorded the aural vignettes on albums feature Nordine's narration over cool cool cool jazz by the Chico Hamilton jazz group, recording under the alias of Fred Katz, who was then the cellist with Hamilton's quintet. Nordine began performing and recording such albums at the peak of the beat era and was associated with the poetry-and-jazz movement. However, some of Nordine's "writings are more akin to Franz Kafka or Edgar Allan Poe" (or even Dr. Seuss-like exploration of the meanings of different colors here), than to the beats. Many of his word jazz tra

Ann Cole !

Image
Tadaaaaaaaa ! Summer's gone godammit ! Well, back to work. And I want my scalps. Ann Cole was a genuinely great soul singer who had the misfortune to be too far ahead of her time. She was daring enough to record "Got My Mojo Working," which she'd performed on-stage (which was how Muddy Waters found the song) in 1956. Cole also cut records on the Timely, Baton, and Sir labels, and in 1956 she was voted the Most Promising Female R&B Vocals. Cole cut many records, but only ever had one pop-chart hit, in 1962 with "Don't Stop the Wedding" on Roulette. The A-side was a sort of answer record to the Etta James song "Stop the Wedding"; ironically, "Don't Stop the Wedding"'s B-side, "Have Fun," was also her last R&B charting song. Enjoy ! Ann Cole : * Each Day * * Brand New Hearts * * Got My Mojo Working * * Don't Stop The Wedding *

Sister Wynona Carr !

Image
Hallelujah ! Wynona Carr was born in Cleveland, OH, where she started out as a gospel singer, forming her own five-piece group The Carr Singers around 1945 and touring the Cleveland/Detroit area. Being tipped by The Pilgrim Travelers, who shared a bill with Carr in the late 1940's, Art Rupe signed her to his Specialty label, giving Carr her new stage name "Sister" Wynona Carr (modelled after pioneering gospel singer Sister Rosetta Tharpe) and cutting some twenty sides with her from 1949 to 1954, including a couple of duets with Specialty's biggest gospel star at the time, Brother Joe May. Although she recorded rarely, Carr nevertheless remained a highly prolific songwriter, composing poetic, topical material often inspired by headlines of the day; she cut dozens of demos for Specialty, and ironically enough earned more money from sales of her sheet music than from her actual recordings. After successfully touring white nightclubs in 1954 with Sister Rosetta Tharpe and

Garfield Akers !

Image
I'd rather see you dead, buried in some cypress grove… The throbbing guitar sound of Garfield Akers was a primary influence on subsequent generations of Mississippi bluesmen, with the likes of John Lee Hooker and Robert Wilkins citing him as an influence! Born around 1902 in Bates, Mississippi, Akers remains a shadowy figure; after honing his skills at local dances and house parties, he relocated to the Hernando area, where he worked by day as a sharecropper. After moving on to Memphis, in 1929 he made his first Vocalion label recordings at the Peabody, accompanied by guitarist Joe Callicott; between this first date and a 1930 session for Brunswick, four Akers performances still exist - his two-part signature "Cottonfield Blues," "Jumpin' and Shoutin' Blues," and "Dough Roller Blues," one of the first variations on Hambone Willie Newbern's seminal "Roll and Tumble." His most well-known song is his debut, the Cottonfield Blues, whi
