Murphy's Saloon Blues Podcast #9 - Drinking Black & Tans with an Alligator

Welcome back to Murphy's Saloon, Podcast Home of the Blues. I hope you had as much fun over the holidays as I did. I'm looking forward to the Murphy's Saloon Podcast getting bigger and better in 2006. I hope you have as much fun listening as I do putting the shows together. Since both Black & Tan Records, and Alligator Records joined the Podsafe Music Network in December, I think a show featuring artists from both labels was the obvious way to go this week. Hence, tonight's theme. • Ain't Good Lookin' by Billy Jones. • Running To New Orleans Byther Smith. • Mountain Top by Boo Boo Davis. • Jona Lee by Roomful of Blues. • Big City by Luther Allison. • Natural Man by Lil' Ed and The Blues Imperials. Also, Alligator Records is here, and Black & Tan Records is here. The Murphy's Saloon intro is from Rocket Science by Brain Buckit and the show outro is from Play This by Dave at the Chub Creek Podcast. If you'd like to see where some Murphy's Saloon listeners live, you can check out the Murphy's Friends map over here, and perhaps put up a push pin of your own.

Murphy's Saloon Blues Podcast #4

Murphy's Saloon #4 Show Notes: • Almost Heaven by Tommy Z. Tommy infuses his songs with a mix of jazz, R&B, rock and funk, tinged with spirituality. His latest CD, Universal Love, was produced by Nick Blagona (Bee Gees, Nazareth, Moody Blues, Deep Purple, Rainbow, The Police, Chicago) He also appears on a recently released solo album Gillan's Inn by Ian Gillan of Deep Purple. Tommy's personal Web site (where you can buy his CD) is here. • Talk Is Cheap by The Shades of Gray. The Shades of Gray are four young guys out of Salt Lake City who've been playing together for 2 years. They list Herbie Hancock, the Allman Bros. and Jimi Hendrix as influences. The band's site is here. • Your Heart by Anne Heaton. Heaton has been based out of New York in recent years, but is considering a move back to Chicago, her home town. She was an opening act on Jewel's Spring 2005 tour, and lists Fine Young Cannibals, Peter Gabriel, Tom Petty, 10,000 Maniacs and the Indigo Girls as influences. Heaton's debut album, Black Notebook, was chosen by Performing Songwriter magazine as one of its Top 12 Independent Releases. All three of her independent release are available at her site. • Take Your Shoes Off by Janet Ryan and Straight Up!. As Murphy's Saloon listeners may remember, I found Janet Ryan and Straight Up! over at GarageBand.com. This is their second appearance at Murphy's Saloon. After I played them the first time, they added my logo and a link to Murphy's Saloon at their site. Thanks, guys! • Three Chords by (The Rev.) Jimmie Bratcher. Bratcher is another return visitor to Murphy's Saloon. Although he sorta downplays the fact he's a Rev., Bratcher uses music to help reach people, and it's absolutely killer blues. His personal site is here. • Church of the Electric Soul by the Robert Farrell Farrell, a resident of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, has been playing guitar since he was five years old (he's now in his 30s), and has been described by Billboard Magazine as "arguably the greatest undiscovered guitarist in Canada." Among his kudos, Farrell's got three New Artist Radio (N.A.R.) Awards: for "Musician of the Year" (2002 and 2003) and "Male Rock Artist of the Year" (2002). I'd suggest visiting his site and doing your part (by buying his CDs) to lift the public profile of this superlative guitarist. • And, as usual, the Murphy's Saloon intro is from Rocket Science by Brain Buckit, and the show outro is from Play This by Dave at the Chub Creek Podcast. (Music in this week's show courtesy of the PodSafe Music Network, except where noted.)

Murphy's Saloon Blues Podcast #3

Murphy's Saloon #3 Show Notes: • The Hipnotics, from Kansas City, Missouri. • George Fletcher and Bourbon Renewal, from Saratoga Springs, NY. • Billy Marquis, from Indianola, MS. • Delta Chuck, from Tulsa, OK. • Punam Verma from the United Kingdom at the Podsafe Music Network and, as promised the photo page at her personal site. • Harpdog Brown, from Vancouver, British Columbia. • Stingray, from Perth, Western Australia. • Show intro from Rocket Science by Brain Buckit, whose CD is available through their site, CD Baby or Tower Records. • Show outro from Play This by Dave at the Chub Creek Podcast. There was also a very brief discussion of bad beer, and the sad and lamentable fact that Murphy was not included in the Chicago Tribune's voting list of the best bartenders in Chicago for 2005. (Music in this week's show courtesy of the PodSafe Music Network, except where noted.)

Murphy's Saloon Blues Podcast #2

This episode was a solo project, with considerable material and moral support from several sources (Greg, you're a mensch!). Big thanks to the Podsafe Music Network, GarageBand and the artists. Show Notes: • Show intro from Rocket Science by Brain Buckit, whose CD is available through their site, CD Baby or Tower Records. • 99 Pounds by P.W. Fenton and The Second Ward. Although they're no longer playing together, present evidence argues that P.W. Fenton and The Second Ward put on one hell of a show in their day. Today, among other things, Fenton is the host and chief instigator of his own podcast, Digital Flotsam. • Missing You by Blue Matters. Blue Matters are a group of German and Swiss students who met in school in Venezuala. Missing Youhas a nice, smooth R&B groove going for it. I think it deserves better than the two-and-a-half star rating it presently has at the Podsafe Music Network. • Cool Your Engine by Janet Ryan and Straight Up!. I found Janet Ryan and Straight Up! over at GarageBand.com and was knocked out immediately by Janet's voice and the band's smooth, tight groove. You can expect to hear more of them at Murphy's Saloon. Because GarageBand.com has their own method of doing what they call podcasts, and their own way of putting podcasters and artists together, I wrote to Janet and the band directly and they very quickly granted me permission to play their music. Thanks! • Bad Religion by (The Rev.) Jimmie Bratcher. As he reports at his personal Web site, Rev. Bratcher found his way to God after considerable personal turmoil. But, like the Rev. Al Green and Little Richard, Bratcher uses music to help spread the Gospel, and it's smokin' great music at that. This one rocks! • Show outro from Play This by Dave at the Chub Creek Podcast. (All music in this week's show courtesy of the PodSafe Music Network, except where noted.)

Murphy's Saloon #1

Welcome to opening weekend at Murphy's Saloon - Podcast Home of the Blues. Drinks are on the house. Every week I'll be serving up the best of independent and podsafe blues, blues rock, rhythm 'n' blues, or whatever else catches my ear. I'm also trying to make arrangements for special permission to play some signed blues artists, so keep your fingers crossed. Show Notes: • Rocket Science by Brain Buckit. I want to apologize to Brain Buckit for not looking further for information about them before recording my show. Be sure to visit their site (linked above), and if you liked what you heard, buy their CD. • There's More Pretty Girls Than One by Blind Arvella Gray. Huge thanks to Cary Baker of Cary Baker's Conqueroo for giving me special permission to play Blind Arvella Gray. Arvella was the real deal, there's no doubt about that, and Cary is a true fan of the blues. • There She Goes by Brother Love. What can I say about Brother Love? That he's got the goods? Hell, yeah! That he rocks? Hell, yeah again! There's a reason Brother Love has two songs in the Top Five at the Podsafe Music Network. Go to the iTunes Music Store or his Web site now, and buy the very aptly titled ALBUM OF THE YEAR. All the best, Brother. • On A Podcast by Cruisebox. If downloads were dollar bills, the guys in Cruisebox would be wealthy men. I first heard On A Podcast shortly after I tuned in to the podosphere. Not a day goes by that I don't find myself humming the Podcasting International Anthem. Talk about an earworm! • Play This by Dave from Chub Creek. Chub Creek is a podcast by Dave and Gary, two Canadian buddies who grew up together, but haven't seen each other in 10 years. The music they've made available at the Podsafe Music Network is drawn from their shows. Thanks, guys! (All songs, except There's More Pretty Girls Than One, courtesy of the Podsafe Music Network). For more information about Maxwell Street, go here. NOTE(edited 3/13/07): If this episode is your first encounter with Murphy's Saloon, please feel free to skip ahead a few shows - the content of this episode is not an accurate reflection of what the show has become. I think I've gotten much better at it, for one thing. Audio levels aren't uniform until about episode #7. The shows are good content-wise, it's just my audio level is reeeeeally low.
