In the middle of the song, they'll will reference Hooker's track Boogie Chillen when Plant sings about "mama and papa talling, you gotta let that boy rock n roo,"
They reference Etta James, Just a Little Bit with the line, "I don't want much, I just want a little bit of your love,"
Wanda Jackson and thereby Elvis Presley when they break into, Let's Have a Party,
Howlin' Wolf's, Going Down Slow, with the lines, Write my mother and tell her the shape I'm in,' and finally,
Willie Dixon's Back Door Man. There may be other references in the song - if you find some, please let me know.

Pacific St Blues & Americana

September 11, 2022

We have a really smokin' show this week including numerous homegrown specials and an in-depth exploration of the music of Chuck Berry.

Over the past several months we have explored the roots of 'rock music' of the 60s and 70s. While there are the clear influences of Elvis Presley and Little Richard, less obvious, but arguably more profound, as the influences of three blues artists: Robert Johnson, Willie Dixon, and Chuck Berry. It has been suggested, and I agree, that the influence of an artist is determined, at least in part, by the frequency of others covering their music and recording their songs.

Specifically, we've examined the musical influences of the King of the Delta Blues, Robert Johnson, Chess Records ' songwriter Willie Dixon, and this week we'll take an in-depth look at the music and influence of the legendary, St Louis born, Chuck Berry, the poet laureate of rock n' roll.

Berry spent most of his career recording for the Chicago-based blues label, Chess Records. Along with stable mates Willie Dixon and Muddy Waters, one can make a pretty solid argument that the music we all knew and grew up with had its roots firmly planted at 2010 South Michigan Avenue and the home of Chess Records.

Join me today for some great music and good stories.

There's a story behind this week's show. The Blues Society of Omaha asked me and Glenn, who fills in from time to time, to go on the main stage of our annual, In the Market for the Blues, and discuss the history of the blues.

So we did. Sorta.

The blues is a pretty big topic - especially to pack into 45 minutes. Instead, I put together A History of the Blues (rather than The History...). I decided to discuss some of the events that made the blues the artform it is today including The Great Migrations of Blacks from the American South to the north and west, some of the sources for blues music including field recordings, Chess Records, and John Hammond.

I also told some stories like how John Lomax's efforts to get a recording label for Leadbelly tied together with the sit-com Friends, or how John Hammond's search for Robert Johnson created, in large part, the sound that was Classic Rock, or how a Memphis kid's love of a jug band player lead, indirectly, to several hit recording acts in the 60s and 70s. Or how Reg Dwight played the blues and became Elton John.

We are ecclectricity and, ideally, listeners find that entertaining and informative. At the very least, but perhaps the most important, the show is not predictable or driven by cliches of what the blues is or isn't.

Thanks for giving this a listen.
It was an act of love putting this together.
I hope you enjoy the effort.

Elvis Presley famously bought his clothes from the Lasky Brothers Clothing Store on Beale Street in Memphis, Tennessee. Today, the store is owned and operated by Hal Lansky the son and nephew of the original owners. As you will hear, from Elvis Presley to Johnny Cash, who became the 'Man in Black' after shopping at Lansky's, to Eric Clapton, Sheryl Crow, and the Sex Pistols, the tale of Lansky's is packed with music legends and lore.

After shopping with, 'My Pal Hal,' I was able to meet Bobby Whitlock (Derek & the Dominoes, Bonnie & Delaney, George Harrison) and secure a comprehensive interview with both Hal Lansky and Bobby Whitlock. (Whitlock's interview is already posted on this site).

As you will hear, from Elvis Presley to Johnny Cash, who became the 'Man in Black' after shopping at Lansky's, to Eric Clapton, Sheryl Crow, and the Sex Pistols, the tale of Lansky's is packed with music legends and lore.

After shopping with, 'My Pal Hal,' I was able to meet Bobby Whitlock (Derek & the Dominoes, Bonnie & Delaney, George Harrison) and secure a comprehensive interview.

**So much new music and only 3 hours to share it.

When I was in my teens, radio was a beacon to the world of music. Deejays would assemble shows that reflected their taste while introducing us to new releases by known artists and new artists we needed to know. It was an art form.

Let's run down some rabbit holes of the lost & nearly forgotten, or new tracks by known artists, while being cradled in sonic familiarity. Ahhhhh. The art, or at least the attempted art, of weaving together songs and artists that bring enjoyment and information to the listener.**

Born in 1919, Mississippi's Elmore Brooks took his father's last name and became arguably the most influential slide blues guitar player of the post-war era. As a sideman for Sonny Boy Williamson II (a/k/a/ Rice Miller), James' would write several songs made popular by Williamson including Look Over Yonder Wall and One Way Out. After serving in the military, stationed in Guam, like many from the agricultural south, James' moved north to Chicago and recorded most of his iconic songs for the Modern Recording label. James died in 1963 from a long-term heart ailment.

This episode contains two phone interviews with Ian McLagan. Mac, as he was known, was a member of the Small Faces. When Steve Marriott left the band to form Humble Pie with Peter Frampton, The Small Faces hired on Ronnie Wood (Rolling Stones) and Rod Stewart; thus becoming The Faces.

When The Faces broke up in '75, Mac toured as a sideman to The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, Rod Stewart, and Billy Bragg. I got to know him a bit through the interviews. We met several times including a four-day spree at South-By-Southwest. He was a delightful man and it was a joy to get to know him a bit.

Other members of the band included drummer Kenny Jones played with The Who for a bit. Bassist Ronnie Lane did a duets album with Pete Townshend (while living in his back garden at The Twixt). Ronnie Wood joined the Rolling Stones, and Rod Stewart focused on his solo career.

Songs (I did not following the interview)
Faces / Maggie May
Small Faces / Itchycoo Park
Faces / Stay With Me
Faces / You're So Rude
Faces / Miss Judy's Farm

Duke Robillard (feat Sue Foley) / No Good Lover

It's been a bit of a wild week. The show's no more disjointed than usual. We focus on a few artists with short sets of songs by Marvin Gaye, Van Morrison, Stevie Wonder, and Irish blues-rock. With St. Pat's day just around the corner, Van Morrison, Thin Lizzy, Gary Moore, and, of course, Rory Gallagher only made sense. As always, thanks for spending time with me, at the gym, or in the car. If you enjoy the show, tell someone. We use a lot of covers to draw a wider listening audience - a bit of something somewhat familiar.

This week we revisit my 2002 interview with legendary sideman Nils Lofgren (Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Grin, and inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2014).

Bonnie Raitt / Nick of Time

Perhaps better known for his role as the wingman for Neil Young as a member of Crazy Horse and Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Nils Lofgren's solo career and as the leader of his band Grin is an engaging tale of sometimes, life doesn't go the way you thought it would but, hey, it's still pretty damn good.

Nils joined Neil to record Young's landmark album, After the Gold Rush, in 1970 and also appeared on Tonight's the Night (after the death of Danny Whitten) as well as Trans and on Young's most recent album, Barn 2022.

During this time Lofgren replaced the departed Lil Steven Van Zandt in the E Street Band in 1984 and the monster album/tour Born in the USA. Lofgren remains a part of Springsteen's band and continues to release solo efforts: his more recently 2020's Weathered.

In 2017 I was able to attend a homecoming show for Bobby Whitlock.

A Memphis native, Whitlock's initial foray into fame included playing a pivotal role in a band popular among musicians, Delaney & Bonnie. Whitlock had played with several local Stax Recording artists including Sam & Dave, Albert King, The Staple Singers, and Booker T & the MGs.

He joined Delaney and Bonnie in 1968. While a member of this highly touted band, Whitlock met and played with what would become Derek & the Dominos including Carl Radle, Jim Gordon, and Eric Clapton. He also met and played with key musicians who would go on to significant roles including Bobby Keys (childhood neighbor of Buddy Holly and long-time sax player in the Rolling Stones) and Jim Price.

In 1970 Whitlock recorded several tracks with George Harrison for his All Things Must Pass album. He also played with John Lennon, Apple Recording artist Doris Troy, and toured the album for Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs and Englishmen.

Eventually, Whitlock, Gordon, Clapton, and Radle would form the band Derek and the Dominos (1970 - 1971) considered by many to be Clapton's finest 'band' ensemble. Working with Tom Dowd, Whitlock would get co-writing credits on nine tracks for the band's landmark album, Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs: Clapton's homage to then George Harrison's wife, Patti Boyd (whom Harrison met while filming A Hard Days Night with the Beatles).

In 2007 we ran some shows looking at record labels that played a significant role in capturing the sounds that would eventually come together and create rock and roll. In this episode we examine the music of two classic labels: Sun Records (Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Billy Lee Riley, Ike Turner, Charlie Rich) from Memphis and Specialty Records from New Orleans & Los Angeles (Little Richard, Larry WIlliams, Lou Rawls, Sam Cooke).

Join us as we for a casual stroll to the roots of Classic Rock.

It's been a blast!
It's still a blast.

Here's over two hours of basically uninterrupted, carefully curated Christmas tracks which, ideally, gives you a soundtrack you can listen to at home, in the car, at the gym, or while you're at work.

So go ahead and take this opportunity to relax, downshift a bit during this otherwise busy time of year, hear and share some great music, and get focused on the real things that ought to be important in our lives.

Merry Christmas to you and yours...

Please note: There was an editing error in this portion of the show. That has been fixed. In addition, the opening Thanksgiving montage was reinserted due to popular demand.
In this series of two shows we explore the Blues and Folk roots of Led Zeppelin. There is no question that Zeppelin borrowed heavily. We'll hear on Robert Plant lifts melody lines and lyrics to construct some of the most icon songs of the 1970s and early 80s.

Undoubtedly Zeppelin's music launched thousands of bands and changed the direction of popular music (while it's not included in these shows, even rapper Sean Puffy, Puff Daddy Combs lifted the guitar riff from Zeppelin's Kashmir to create a top hit including a joint appearance with Jimmy Page on Saturday Night Live: now that's being influential).

It's been my experience that most modern days blues music listeners came to the genre via The Rolling Stones, The Allman Brothers, or Led Zeppelin. When I discussed the idea for this show with regular listeners, it became apparent that most had gotten the Led outta their system some many years ago.

Yet it was no surprise that by massive numbers, the positive feedback on this show has been ginormous! Evidently exploring the musical roots of Zeppelin has rekindled a long forgotten love.

Please, enjoy the show. And thank-you for listening.

Oh. And by the way, after more than a decade, Robert Plant has reunited with Alison Krauss for a new album. Trusted critics report that this collaboration, Raise the Roof, is BETTER than their Grammy Award winning album, Raising Sand. As soon as I can, we'll get their latest and share it with you.

This week, two sets of music by Muddy Waters, a set of tracks by noted seeing-impaired artists, a quick trip with Neil Young, and tons of new releases. Also, I started a blog that mixes my politically moderate Opinion Editorials from the Omaha World Herald with reminiscences of my musical youth. Look for articles on meeting Mick Jagger, Pete Townshend, and living in Northern England in the 1970s. It's a work in progress and I hope you'll enjoy it**. The Barking RINO.

This week we track the new live album from The Tedeschi Trucks Band, Layla Revisited. TTB plays Derek & the Dominoes album, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs in its entirety. This release features Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio.

We also take a look at, 'The 27 Club.'

"The 27 Club includes popular musicians who have died at age 27,often as a result of drug and alcohol abuse or violent means such as homicide, suicide, or transportation-related accidents.

The deaths of several 27-year-old popular musicians between 1969 and 1971 (Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Brian Jones, Jim Morrison) led to the belief that deaths are more common at this age. Statistical studies have failed to find any unusual pattern of musician deaths at this age, comparing it to equally small increases at ages 25 and 32, with a 2011 BMJ study noting instead that young adult musicians have a higher death rate than the rest of the young adult population, concluding: "Fame may increase the risk of death among musicians, but this risk is not limited to age 27".

The "club" has been repeatedly cited in music magazines, journals and the daily press. Several exhibitions have been devoted to the idea, as well as novels, films and stage plays. There have been many theories and speculations about the causes of such early deaths and their possible connections. Four years before the BMJ study was published, Cobain and Hendrix biographer Charles R. Cross wrote: "The number of musicians who died at 27 is truly remarkable by any standard. [Although] humans die regularly at all ages, there is a statistical spike for musicians who die at 27."

Rolling Stones to play Omaha concert
The Associated Press Aug 21, 2005

The Stones are rolling into Omaha for the first time in 39 years. The Rolling Stones are booked to play a Jan. 29 show at the Qwest Center. But satisfaction for Stones fans won't come cheap.

The least expensive spots at the 16,000-seat venue will cost $62, which is equal to a dollar for each year lead singer Mick Jagger has been alive. Tickets go up from there to $97, $162 and $352.

That's nearly twice as much as the most expensive ticket at the Paul McCartney show, scheduled for Oct. 30 at the Qwest Center. Those tickets, which ranged from $49.50 to $177, sold out in 14 minutes.

Rolling Stones tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. CDT on Saturday. For members of the Stones fan club who joined between July 2004 and May 9, tickets went on sale Monday. New fan club members can buy tickets on Tuesday.

The Stones last played a concert in Nebraska on July 15, 1966, at Omaha's Civic Auditorium. Their only other previous Nebraska concert was June 13, 1964, at Omaha's Music Hall.

A lot has changed since then but three founding band members remain Jagger, Keith Richards, 61, and Charlie Watts, 64. Guitar player Ron Wood, the baby of the group at 58, joined the band in 1975.

The Stones kicked off their latest North American tour Sunday at Fenway Park. The Omaha date is one of the latest scheduled ones on the tour from now into March, which will take Jagger, Keith Richards and the other Stones to dozens of cities including Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis and Denver.

Their new album, "A Bigger Bang," is scheduled for release on Sept. 6.

In 2005 The Rolling Stones came back to Omaha for the third time (1964, 1966).

Having been a fan of the band for 45 years (at that time), I had amassed quite a collection of rare and unique recordings by the band and by individuals within the band.

Because of a glitch at the time, the show's airing was marred and became unable to be aired. This is part two of a three hour special

Enjoy! Rick
