If You'Re Listening To Music Now... Whats Playing? 4


Recommended Posts

Tutsi, found this on YT.  Seems to have quite a few recordings by Cortelia Clark, about 13, but all I get is, "This video contains content from SME, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds."  Maybe can access in Thailand with a VPN connection, which I don't have.  Let me know if you can view them.
 
Erm, I think Alan Lomax already has access to Cortelia's work, and probably much more . . . 
 
   

I can open all of them using a vpn set on US.
The videos only show some photos from the era and the album cover , no actual footage.

not so sure about that...ol' Alan he stuck mostly to the delta around Missisippi, field moans around Alabama and Georgia...last time I talked to him over a few beers he said that he missed a lot that was goin' on in downtown Nashville...he reckoned that ol' Chris Strachwitz and Arhoolie Records had all that covered...looks like some other folks came along and 'discovered' ol' Cortelia...

 

just so's to mention it to him so's that ol' Alan has his archive complete...kinda like...

 

(I like talkin' to ghosts, don't yew?)

 

 

Maybe I've got the wrong Alan Lomax.  The guy I found on the net was an American ethnomusicologist, best known for his numerous field recordings of folk music of the 20th century.  Died in 2002.  Tutsi, have you been in LOS too long?  Seeing ghosts like our hosts?  :w00t:

and then here's tutsi with the MiL out in her tin shack on stilts over the rice paddy in the howlin' wind and the flimsy timbers are shaking...the lighting is dim and the remains of the favorite brother in law who died of TB 2 years ago sit inna box on the counter...

 

'Mama...have another drink...' and she smiles a reptilian smile with cigarette smoke wafting...

Hurry up and write that book. I'm not joking. A very good friend of mine has his own publishing company on the internet.

Today Thai Visa, tomorrow Amazon, Noble, etc.

In the meantime....

A bit of Cat('s) Squirrel history.  The original 1961 recording by Doctor Ross, the 1966 Cream take, and Tull's excellent 1968 rendition.
