Pete Welding (PW) makes an opening remark and
advertises the Big John's club in Old Town Chicago
where featured bands perform live on the stage. PW:
The modern style of blues was developed in a small
Chicago club in the year following World War II. But
to understand the genesis of the style, one must go
back to 1941. McKinley Morganfield [Leadbelly] was
recorded on Stovall plantation near Rolling Fork,
Mississippi, by a mobile recording team from the
Library of Congress, led by Alan Lomax. |
| 00:03:33 |
"Country Blues" by McKinley Morganfield
[Leadbelly] |
| 00:06:55 |
PW: "Country Blues" is country style performance
of old Mississippi Delta style, and was patented on
an album called The Walking Blues, recorded by a Delta bluesman, Robert
Johnson, a gifted poet and musician of blues.
|
| 00:07:55 |
"Country Blues" by Robert Johnson |
| 00:10:25 |
PW compares the modern urban style of blues and
the original southern style. |
| 00:12:52 |
"I Can't Be Satisfied" by Muddy Waters. |
| 00:15:35 |
PW talks about a new form begins to emerge, in
which the 2nd guitar line of Little Walter Jacobs
was added to Muddy's lead guitar and Big Crawford's
bass. |
| 00:16:36 |
"Honey Bee" by Muddy Waters. |
| 00:19:56 |
PW discusses Sonny Boy Williamson's influence on
Little Walter for his harmonica solo voice
style. |
| 00:21:40 |
"Louisiana Blues," harmonica by Little Walter,
lead guitar by Muddy Waters, and bass by Big
Crawford |
| 00:24:30 |
PW presents an example that represents the sound
of the modern blues. In the band numbers, the roles
of the instruments - guitar, second guitar,
harmonica, piano, bass and drums, have been
simplified individually so the totality of produced
would be strong and brilliant as a whole. The
electronic sound of the instruments further demands
its simplification. |
| 00:25:28 |
"I Just Want To Make Love To You" by Muddy
Waters |
| 00:28:16 |
PW makes a closing remark for the
program. |

where featured bands perform live on the stage. PW:
Today's program will focus on Rice Miller (Sonny Boy
Williamson II), an influential post-war artist. Here
is one of his early influential songs, "Nine Below
Zero," recorded in 1950. |
| 00:02:50 |
"Nine Below Zero" by Rice Miller (Sonny Boy
Williamson II) |
| 00:05:35 |
PW: Considerable confusion exists about Rice
Miller. He claimed to be the original "Sonny Boy
Williamson." This is to distinguish him from the
performer John Lee Williamson, who recorded
extensively in the late 30s and 40s as Sonny Boy
Williamson. Here is a moody and introspective
performance recorded in Rice Miller's early
years. |
| 00:07:52 |
"Mighty Long Time" by Rice Miller (Sonny Boy
Williamson II), guitar and harmonica |
| 00:10:42 |
PW mentions that Sonny Boy Williamson II is such
a unique performer and quotes a description of style
written by a British Blues critic Paul Oliver.
|
| 00:12:54 |
"Eyesight to the Blind" by Sonny Boy Williamson
II |
| 00:15:55 |
PW talks about Sonny Boy Williamson II's
excellent ability as a blues poet. |
| 00:16:26 |
"Don't Start Me to Talkin'" by Sonny Boy
Williamson II |
| 00:18:55 |
PW introduce another Sonny Boy Williamson II's
song notable for the lyric content. |
| 00:19:10 |
"Fattening Frogs for Snakes" - Sonny Boy
Williamson II |
| 00:21:20 |
PW: This next piece has a good rocking
background. It is very much in the modern style of
instrumental work developed in the Chicago area in
the post-war years. |
| 00:21:40 |
"Checkin' Up On My Baby" by Sonny Boy Williamson
II |
| 00:23:35 |
PW introduces one of his most sensitive
performances. |
| 00:23:47 |
"Sad To Be Alone" by Sonny Boy Williamson

This evening we will focus on the recorded music of
Elmore James and his cousin Homesick James
Williamson. |
| 00:03:56 |
"Dust My Broom" by Elmore James; Sonny Boy
Williamson II on harmonica. |
| 00:06:42 |
PW: In "Sunnyland," Elmore James's electric
guitar is more of a Chicago style, a more modern
approach. The riff pattern and very heavy, explicit
rhythm are much more in keeping with the Chicago
modern styles of blues that became quite prevalent
in the middle 50s. |
| 00:08:04 |
"Sunnyland" by Elmore James |
| 00:11:20 |
PW: In "Blues Before Sunrise," the guitar
accompaniment pattern on this number is almost
exclusively on Robert Johnson. |
| 00:12:04 |
"Blues Before Sunrise" by Elmore James |
| 00:14:45 |
PW: Now another number by Elmore James, in the
more modern style of the Chicago blues. The guitar
playing is much more in line with the jazz
approaches. |
| 00:15:20 |
"I Was A Fool" by Elmore James |
| 00:18:05 |
PW: Tonight's final selection is Elmore's remake
of Robert Johnson's "Standing At The Crossroads."
Several horns have been added to the rhythm section.
The band picks up the phrases following Elmore's
guitar, echoing in a call and response pattern. This
format becomes the trademarks of Elmore's blues in
the 50s. |
| 00:18:58 |
"Standing At The Crossroads" |
| 00:21:45 |
PW: Let's hear Robert Johnson's original
"Crossroad Blues" recorded in November 1936. We will
see how much Elmore got from it, and how much he
parted from it. |
| 00:22:07 |
"Cross Road Blues" by Robert Johnson |
| 00:24:35 |
PW: Homesick James Williamson was also a man who
was influenced by Robert Johnson and his powerful
music. We hear a recording titled "Homesick" made by
Homesick James in 1952. |
| 00:25:42 |
"Homesick" by Homesick James Williamson |

Pete Welding (PW) makes an opening remark and
advertises the Big John's club in Old Town Chicago
where featured bands perform live on the stage.
Tonight's program continues the discussion of the
modern blues style with selections by Chester Arthur
Burnett, better known by his stage name Howlin'
Wolf. This selection, "Crying At Daylight," is
notable as much for his powerful singing as it is
for his interesting harmonica playing. |
| 00:04:20 |
"Crying At Daylight" by Howlin' Wolf |
| 00:08:10 |
PW: This next number is influenced more by jazz
guitar. It is much more in line with the kind of
blues that were being recorded during the mid-40s
and right after the war years. |
| 00:08:44 |
"Worried About My Baby" |
| 00:11:40 |
PW: In early 1950 Howlin' Wolf left Memphis and
moved to Chicago. Here is a segment of his recording
before the move. |
| 00:12:24 |
"House Rockin' Boogie" by Howlin' Wolf, with
comments by Howlin' Wolf |
| 00:14:26 |
PW: Before moving to Chicago in 1952, Howlin'
Wolf recorded a few numbers in Memphis. Here is one
example. |
| 00:14:48 |
"Moanin' at Midnight" by Howlin' Wolf |
| 00:17:40 |
PW: Wolf continues to record a number of
traditional tunes, one of most interesting is "Forty
Four," recorded after he moved to Chicago. |
| 00:18:58 |
"Forty Four" by Howlin' Wolf |
| 00:21:45 |
PW: Howlin' Wolf's singing of "Forty Four" was
very similar to Charley Patton, the great Delta
Mississippi blues man. The phrasing is remarkably
alike. The next number is recorded in Howlin' Wolf's
Chicago era. |
| 00:22:17 |
"Evil (Is Going On)" by Howlin' Wolf |
| 00:25:08 |
PW: Now we hear another example of Howlin' Wolf's
use of traditional Mississippi materials and modern
blues context. "Spoonful" was originally recorded by
Charley Patton. |
| 00:25:22 |
"Spoonful" by Howlin' Wolf |
| 00:28:07 |
PW: "Spoonful" by Howlin' Wolf was recorded in
1960. Since that time Wolf's music has gone to a
decline as he is concentrated on the performance of
rather cheap material that have been manufactured
for him by professional blues writers. However
Howlin' Wolf was still one of the most powerful and
strongest of all Chicago blues man. |
| 00:29:02 |
"Three Hundred Pounds of Joy" by Howlin'
Wolf |
| 00:32:05 |
PW makes a closing remark for the
program. |

Pete Welding (PW) makes an opening remark and
advertises the Big John's club in Old Town Chicago
where featured bands perform live on the stage.
Tonight's program will be about a few numbers about
78's music from PW's collection. Junior Wells
achieved a great deal of success, commercially and
artistically, after leaving the Muddy Water's band.
|
| 00:02:21 |
"'Bout The Break Of Day" by Junior Wells |
| 00:04:55 |
PW: We will hear artists who achieved great fame
before the pre-war years, but who happened to record
after World War II. Their style changed in order to
accommodate the prevalent Chicago sound. The first
selection is music by Walter Davis, who is an
expressive singer and pianist. |
| 00:06:35 |
"So Long Baby" by Walter Davis |
| 00:09:10 |
PW: Another artist who tried to make the switch
from the pre-war style to the modern post-war style
was Big Bill Broonzy. He was a prolific recording
artist, and was identified as the "Chicago sound"
before World War II. |
| 00:09:50 |
"Southbound Train" by Big Bill Broonzy |
| 00:12:45 |
PW: Now, another artist who scored success in the
pre-war years, Hudson Whittaker (Tampa Red), a very
fine singer and guitarist. He also recorded a few
successful numbers in the post-war years. |
| 00:13:40 |
"But I Forgive You" by Tampa Red, with vocalist
and pianist Johnny Jones |
| 00:16:30 |
PW: The final pre-war artist we hear with
post-war transformation is Roosevelt Sykes from
Louisiana. He is artistically the most successful of
the four artists we hear this evening. |
| 00:17:10 |
"Walking the Boogie" by Roosevelt Sykes |
| 00:19:35 |
PW: Now we will hear one of the best zydeco
players, Clifton Chenier, a singer and accordionist.
Zydeco is a combination of French music and Negro
blues, and it's associated with the Gulf coast
region around Louisiana and Texas. |
| 00:20:20 |
"Where Can My Baby Be" by Clifton Chenier |
| 00:23:00 |
"The Big Wheel" by Clifton Chenier |
| 00:25:45 |
PW: Andrew "Smokey" Hogg is one of the finest of
the Texas bluesman. |
