This week on BBS – Sad News, the leading light of
Blues research over the past 50 years, Paul Oliver, has died at the age of
90. He was renown for his Blues books (nine in all)
including his landmark volumes Blues Fell This Morning (1960) and The Story
Of The Blues (1969). He was also revered for his part in encouraging others
to undertake their own Blues research projects. Oliver started listening to
American music in 1939, starting with Boogie Woogie
and graduating to Blues during the years of WWII. He wrote a steady stream of
articles in various music magazines starting in 1951, continuously promoting
the music and it’s makers. He made a landmark
tour of the U.S. in 1960, seeking out Blues players in several regions of the
country, recording their music and interviewing the players on their lives
and careers. I interviewed Paul Oliver in April 2006. This extended interview
is included in my book Pioneers Of The Blues Revival (2014). To mark the
occasion of Paul’s passing we’ll rebroadcast this interview with
music mixed in. It happens during Hours #2 & 3. Remembering Paul Oliver on BBS… |

BLUES BEFORE
SUNRISE FOR 8/13/17 DINAH WASHINGTON |
|
|
This week on BBS we’ve got two big features. We’ll be presenting Blues from the year 1928, counting our way through the calendar month-by-month. We’ll find artists and records for each specific month, presenting a cross-section of the Blues recorded during this year. It all happens during Hour #3. And during Hours #1 & 2 we’ll count down the years with Dinah Washington. Her recording career spanned the years 1943 to her death in 1963 we’ll find a single recorded side from each year she was in the studio – starting in 1943. They called her The Queen and rightfully so - hear why during this feature. You’ll want to record this for your summer trip. BTW Queenie had a reputation for being hard on musicians, difficult to work for and was known to fire band members with the blink of an eye. Musicians in Chicago got their revenge by playing a brand of Poker known as Dinah Washington – the black queens were poison and if you drew one you were out of the hand! Don’t miss it! Dinah Down Thru The Years – Only on BBS! |
