TERRELL'S TUNE-UP: Son of Beyond the Monster Mash

A version of this was published in The Santa Fe New Mexican 
October 30, 2015


A few years ago in this column, right around this time of year, I published a list of songs I called “Beyond the ‘Monster Mash,” a list of rock ’n’ roll horror tunes for people who, after 50-some years, are sick to death (insert evil laugh) of the “Monster Mash.”

But this year I’m not going to make another list. Instead, I’m going way back to the days before rock ’n’ roll, the 1920s and ’30s, to the era of hot jazz and the smooth crooner.

I’m not claiming that there were any Roaring ’20s Roky Ericksons or Depression-era Rob Zombies. But every once in a while some singer got the bright idea of recording a novelty song about devils, ghosts, dancing skeletons, and other topics that were spooky and/or morbid. Many of these can be found in a compilation released several Halloweens ago on Legacy Recordings: Halloween Classics: Songs That Scared the Bloomers Off Your Great-Grandma.

There are a couple of famous names on this 2007 collection that everyone should recognize: Cab Calloway (performing one of his many “Minnie the Moocher” sequels, “The Ghost of Smokey Joe”) and Rudy VallĂ©e (who, in his best fake cockney accent, sings “With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm,” a song about Anne Boleyn).

While I can’t say I’m familiar with 1920s singer Fred Hall, I immediately recognized his contribution to this collection. “’Taint No Sin (to Take Off Your Skin)” was part of Tom Waits’ 1993 album The Black Rider. On Waits’ nightmarish version, author William S. Burroughs provided rather atonal vocals, encouraging listeners to “take off your skin and dance around in your bones.” Except for the lyrics, Hall’s version sounds like an archetypal upbeat speakeasy jazz number. I see visions of skeletons dancing the Charleston.



So most of the performers here are lesser-knowns, and the songs they sing, for the most part, are even more obscure.

The album starts off with a chipper little tune called “Hush Hush Hush (Here Comes the Boogie Man)” performed by British bandleader and BBC regular Henry Hall — who is more famous for “Teddy Bears’ Picnic,” which he recorded in 1932, the same year as “Boogie Man.” “Hush Hush Hush” begins, “Children, have you ever met the Boogie Man before/No, I’m sure you haven’t, for you’re much too good, I’m sure.” Then vocalist Val Rosing gives the kiddies practical advice on how to ward off the evil one.

Halloween Classics has another song about the same guy, “The Boogie Man” by Todd Rollins & His Orchestra. Here the title character is something of a sexual predator, threatening “bad little girls like you.” Rollins croons, “I’ll torture you and hunt you/I’ve got you where I want you/A victim of my dark and dirty plot/And at the slightest whim/I’ll tear you limb from limb.” What kind of message does that send to the children?


There are a couple of tracks by country artists of the day, and, blow me down, both singers involved sound more like Popeye than Jimmie Rodgers. One is “Minnie the Moocher at the Morgue” (yes, another Minnie song) by Smiley Burnett, who in the ’60s played train engineer Charley Pratt in Petticoat Junction. T

he other is “Ghost in the Graveyard” by The Prairie Ramblers, who later became more famous when they started backing up Patsy Montana.

A couple of my favorites on Bloomers deal with a creepy old man named Mose. Rube Bloom and His Bayou Boys recorded “Mysterious Mose” in 1930. Later that year, a different recording of the song became the basis of a Betty Boop cartoon. New Orleans trumpet man Wingy Manone does another about “Old Man Mose,” whose main offense is that he died and was discovered by a neighbor not fond of dead people.

This tune has been covered by Louis Armstrong as well as Betty Hutton. And there is also an obscene version (I’m not kidding) recorded in 1938 by Eddy Duchin’s band with singer Patricia Norman.




Just like the best metal, psychobilly, and garage songs of modern times that deal with Satan, ghosts, and monsters, the best songs that scared the bloomers off our great-grannies were humorous ways of confronting our fear of death and other unknowns. They allow you to acknowledge your impending death and the boogeymen who haunt your nightmares. You can’t beat ’em, so join ’em. Dance around in your bones.

Here are some Halloween treats and tricks on the web:

*  Santa Fe’s favorite busker sings about New Mexico’s favorite ghost: On a recent Saturday at the Santa Fe Farmers Market, J. Michael Combs agreed to sing a song about La Llorona while my faithful camera crew (actually just me and my iPhone) recorded a video of it. Check it out:





Surfing spooks: Surf music and horror themes have gone together at least since the days of the 1966 teen beach flick The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini.

Portland visual artist J.R. Williams, who has been responsible for a ton of free retro rock ’n’ soul underground compilations, has a new volume of his Halloween Instrumentals series on his blog, featuring bitchen rock instrumentals interspersed with radio ads for cheesy horror flicks.

Mostly there are obscure bands, but you’ll also find tracks by The Ventures, Duane Eddy, and R&B great Bill Doggett.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: Still Chasing the Devil's Herd

Painting by James Clark
(Art by James Clark. Used with permission.)

I'm going to indulge in a little recycling this Throwback Thursday and revive the 2009 Terrell's Tune-Up Halloween column, in which I explored a favorite song "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky." Checking the original blog version I found a whole lot of missing Youtubes, broken links ... a basic ghost town of a blog post.

So, after a few basic repairs please enjoy the tale of that Devil's herd thundering across the sky.

A version of this was published in The Santa Fe New Mexican
October 30, 2009



An impressionable 12-year-old rode to the top of an Arizona hill one afternoon with an old Cowboy friend to check a windmill. A big storm was building and they needed to lock the blades down before the wind hit. When finished, they paused to watch the clouds darken and spread across the sky. As lightning flashed, the Cowboy told the boy to watch closely and he would see the devil’s herd, their eyes red and hooves flashing, stampede ahead of phantom horsemen. The Cowboy warned the youth that if he didn’t watch himself, he would someday be up there with them, chasing steers for all eternity. 

More than 60 years ago this frightening vision, now found on the Western Music Association Web site, was etched into the consciousness of America. “Ghost Riders in the Sky” is a perfect Halloween song for the West. It’s the only cowboy song in which “yippie-yi-yay” becomes a demonic taunt. The boy who heard the tall tale from the old cowpoke would grow up to be forest ranger/songwriter Stan Jones.

“Ghost Riders” became a huge hit in 1949, a year after Jones wrote it. Pop-folkie Burl Ives was the first to record it that year. Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, and Peggy Lee chased the devil’s herd, too, and before the end of the year, avant jokester Spike Jones merrily mutated the saga of the demon cows and fire-snortin’ horses. But the biggest hit at that time came from pop crooner Vaughn Monroe, also in 1949.


Of course, it didn’t stop there. It’s been covered by everyone from Concrete Blonde to Dean Martin. Frankie Laine, another popster with an ear for cowboy songs (think “High Noon” and “Rawhide”) also covered “Ghost Riders.”

Artists like Bob Wills, The Sons of the Pioneers, Gene Autry, and Marty Robbins brought “Ghost Riders” back West. Dick Dale went surfing with it. Ronnie Dawson made it a rockabilly romp. The Southern-rock group called The Outlaws introduced it to the dazed and confused generation in 1980. Johnny Cash sang it with the Muppets. Tom Jones took it to Vegas, and the Legendary Stardust Cowboy took it to Mars.

The fact that “Ghost Riders” has a cinematic feel to it is no accident. Jones did a lot of soundtrack work for John Ford Westerns, including writing music for The Searchers (in which John Wayne spoke a catch phrase that inspired a Buddy Holly hit, “That’ll Be the Day”) and Rio Grande.

When Jones wrote “Ghost Riders,” he was working for the National Park Service in Death Valley.

According to the Western Music Association Web site, “The Park Service made Stan its representative to Hollywood film crews when they came to Death Valley. After a long, hot day of filming, cast and crew members often sat around and listened to Stan’s songs and stories. They encouraged him to get a publisher in L.A.” Shortly after, “Yippee-yi-yay, yippee-yi-yo,” was being heard across the land.

My two favorite versions of “Ghost Riders” are no longer in print. The one that raised goose bumps on me as a kid was on a 1964 LP called Welcome to the Ponderosa by Lorne Greene — yes, a tacky TV tie-in from Bonanza’s Ben Cartwright. This version has a full-blown orchestra, a chorus, and Greene’s distinct gravely voice. (Greene’s hit “Ringo” was also on this album.)

Then there’s the country-rock version from New Mexico’s own Last Mile Ramblers, from their 1974 album While They Last. The artist currently known as Junior Brown is playing guitar, and the vocals are by Spook James. This was always a highlight of the Ramblers’ shows at The Golden Inn and Bourbon & Blues. 

I’m not sure how many cowboys changed their ways because of the warning in the song. But next time you see lightning in the sky, look for those red-eyed cows and gaunt-faced cowboys.

WACKY WEDNESDAY: Spooky Betty Boop



For the last Wacky Wednesday before Halloween, here's a Betty Boop at her spooky best.

Mysterious Mose, released in December 1930 was one of Betty's first appearances and it's a fright-filled doozy. She literally gets scared out of her nightshirt by strange noises in the night. Notice that in this one she still has dog ears. Betty started out as a strange Poddle/woman hybrid.

 

Betty teamed up with singer Cab Calloway for several cartoon shorts. St. James Infirmary is especially Halloween appropriate. (For more on that song, CLICK HERE)



Finally here's Betty at her own Halloween party.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: A Musical Birthday Salute to Dr. Leary


Dr. Timothy Leary, Harvard professor, psychedelic shaman and, for a few years, an international fugitive, would have been 95 years old today.

Happy birthday Dr. Tim.

Though most remember Leary for his advocacy of LSD and his oft-quoted catch phrase, "Turn On, Terrell's Tune-Up and Drop Out" (that was it, right?), he also has a musical legacy, which we'll celebrate here. (And I'm not talking about that dreary Moody Blues song, so don't even ask.)

For one thing, he had this affinity with John Lennon.

The introduction of the 1964 book The Psychedelic Experience, written by Leary, Richard Alpert and Ralph Metzner, contains this advice to trippers;

Trust your divinity, trust your brain, trust your companions.
Whenever in doubt, turn off your mind, relax, float downstream.

You might recognize that line which appeared a couple of years later on The Beatles' Revolver in one of the most psychedelic tunes the Fab Moptops ever recorded.



Leary actually appeared on a Lennon record. He was one of a whole gaggle of counter-culture celebs who sang background on "Give Peace a Chance." And according to several accounts, that led, eventually to another Beatles song

According to the Beatles Bible web site:
Double Date: The Learys & The Lennons

The following day Lennon offered to help Leary's campaign [an aborted third-party run for governor of California.] His slogan was 'Come together, join the party'. Lennon sent Leary a demo tape of song ideas. However, when Leary was imprisoned for cannabis possession the campaign ended, enabling Lennon to record the song with The Beatles.
,
Lennon told interviewer David Sheff:

The thing was created in the studio. It's gobbledygook; Come Together was an expression that Leary had come up with for his attempt at being president or whatever he wanted to be, and he asked me to write a campaign song. I tried and tried, but I couldn't come up with one. But I came up with this, Come Together, which would've been no good to him - you couldn't have a campaign song like that, right?

Yes, Leary's imprisonment on a 1968 marijuana arrest saved "Come Together" from becoming a political jingle.

But that 10-year (!) sentence also led to Dr. Leary fleeing the country. He was living in Switzerland in 1972 when he hooked up with a German band called Ash Ra Tempel. Together they recorded a crazy, psychedelic album called Seven Up. Leary's spoken-word vocals fade in and out all through the record. The record starts out as a hippie blues exploration but quickly drifts into spacey pyschedelia.

Here's the entire thing on a YouTube.



Near the end of his life in 1996, Leary recorded an album with rocker Simon Stokes under the name of-- brace yourself, Bridget --LSD (Leary Stokes Duets). The album was called Right to Fly, and while I prefer Stokes' own records, this one has it's weird charm.

Here's one of my favorite tracks from it.



So once again, happy birthday, acid priest.

WACKY WEDNESDAY: Conjuring the Ghost of Dickie Goodman



The Wacky Wednesday Halloween countdown continues. This week we're going to take a look at the Halloween legacy of Dickie Goodman.

Goodman was a record producer who, beginning in the 1950s, worked for many popular artists including Bobby Darin, Frankie Lymon and The Del-Vikings.

But he also was known as a songwriter and performer of novelty songs. He's most famous for what is known as the "break-in" song. For nearly 20 years beginning in 1956 with "The Flying Saucer," (performed with fellow songwriter Bill Buchanan, Goodman made the charts with several of these records.

Basically, they were weird little skits in which Goodman played a radio reporter interviewing people. The answers would come in the form of short snips of songs that were currently or recently popular. My favorite of these was in 1975's "Mr. Jaws," where Dickie asks the shark why he's biting his hand. The answer is a line from Melissa Manchester's pop hit "Midnight Blue."

"Wouldn't you give a hand to a friend? ..."

Indeed, though most of these break-in songs were unabashedly stupid and frequently annoying, Goodman was something of a record-sampling pioneer.

From a 2003 press release touting The King of Novelty: Dickie Goodman, a biography by Goodman's son Jon Goodman:

Dickie Goodman was sued by 17 record labels for copyright infringement in  1956 because his hit record, "The Flying Saucer" (a satire about the UFO  phenomenon) contained short samples of several other hit records.  After  hearing the record with Dickie Goodman narrating while Elvis and Little  Richard sang about Martians landing on Earth, NY Supreme Court ruled that a  new work had been created and as long as the samples were paid for, no  infringement existed.

"Mr. Jaws" in 1975 was the last real hit for Goodman. Fourteen years later, he ended his life, shooting himself in the head.

With that morbid detail, let's get back to Halloween.

A pop-culture wizard like Goodman would not want to ignore the resurgence of popularity for movie monsters in the 1960s. Beginning in the previous decade, local TV stations created local celebrities in the form of Vampira, Tarantula GhoulZacherley,  Count Gregor and untold other hosts of late-night horror shows.

The popularity of monster movies continued into the '60s. Bobby "Boris" Pickett's "Monster Mash" was a graveyard smash. Every male kid I knew back in the early to mid '60s bought up the Aurora company's plastic models of Frankenstein, The Wolfman, Dracula and The Mummy. Famous Monsters of Filmland became must-read material.

So how could Goodman not pass up the opportunity to cash in on the monster craze?

Here are some of Dickie's monster melodies for this Halloween season. True, some of them make Bobby "Boris" Pickett seem like Cole Porter, but what the heck?

Let's dance to the "Werewolf Waltz"



And don't forget the "Mambo Mummy.'



Here's Goodman's Halloween take on The Coasters' "My Baby Loves Western Movies"



 Finally, here's the one I remember from my childhood. My mom got the early version of Goodman's The Monster Album for my brother and me. Even back then when I was in grade school, it seemed pretty tacky and corny. And the tackiest, corniest, dumbest song on the record was "Frankenstein Meets the Beatles." The pairing was obvious, as Dickie explained in the lyrics: "Well, they screamed for The Beatles and they screamed for Frank, but it wasn't the very same kind ..."




And here is a later version of The Monster Album, including some horror-related break-in tune, some modern offerings from Goodman's son and some songs that don't appear to have any reason to be there at all.

Flashback: When Sir Doug Died in New Mexico.

On Saturday I saw the excellent biographical documentary about Texas musical titan Doug Sahm called Sir Doug and the Genuine Texas Cosmic Grove.

 Directed by Texas journalist Joe Nick Patoski, the movie was part of the Santa Fe Independent Film Festival, which also brought Sahm crony and longtime sideman Augie Meyers to town for a couple of performances.

I dug Doug ever since I first saw The Sir Douglas Quartet on Hullabaloo back in 1965 when I was in still in elementary school.  I only got to see Sahm perform live a couple of times -- both in the 1990s during the South by Southwest festival.

I saw him play with The Texas Tornados in 1996 at the Hole in the Wall. Elvis Presley's drummer D.J. Fontana, sat in with them.

A year later I saw Doug, along with Augie, Joe Ely, Rosie Flores, Rick Trevino and others in the back of Austin's now departed Las Manitas cafe. It was a private party and I'm still not sure how I got an invitation. The Latino supergroup Los Super Seven sprang from that amazing little gig.

It was my pleasure to have seen Doug Sahm play. And it was my sad responsibility to have to report on his death.

I was the reporter who broke the news that Sahm had died in Taos in 1999. As I was about to go home from a long day of work, an editor got a tip that he'd died in a Taos hotel room. Sadly, it turned out to be true.

Here is the initial story I wrote for The Santa Fe New Mexican, followed by the second-day story when I interviewed a local woman who spent time with Doug in Santa Fe before he died.


TEXAS TORNADOS STAR FOUND DEAD IN TAOS MOTEL
By Steve Terrell
November 19, 1999

Texas musician Doug Sahm was found dead in a Taos motel room Thursday afternoon.

Cause of death was not immediately known. However, a field examiner with the state Office of the Medical Investigator determined that there was no foul play and released Sahm's body to the Rivera-Hanlon funeral home.

Sahm who first became famous in '60s with The Sir Douglas Quintet, then 25 years later with The Texas Tornados was staying at the Kachina Lodge. A Taos police dispatcher said someone from the hotel's front desk called police shortly before 1 p.m. about ``an unresponsive person.''

Police and an ambulance were dispatched to the hotel, where Sahm, 58, was pronounced dead.

Matthew Rivera of the funeral home said he was waiting to hear from one of Sahm's sons to find out about funeral arrangements.

What Sahm was doing in Taos was not immediately clear. A woman answering the telephone at the Kachina Lodge refused to say how long Sahm had been staying there.

Born Douglas Wayne Sahm on Nov. 6, 1941, in San Antonio, Texas, Sahm was well versed in rock, country, blues and Tex-Mex music.

He began his long music career as a child, playing in a local band and singing on the radio at the age of five and becoming a regular on the famed Louisiana Hayride radio show at the age of eight. Sahm, at the age of 11, sang at a Hank Williams concert in Austin only weeks before Williams died.

As a teen-ager he started his recording career in 1955 with a single called "A Real American Joe" under the name "Little'' Doug Sahm.

Sahm did not achieve national fame until 1965, when his band The Sir Douglas Quartet had a hot with the song "She's About a Mover." Other hits by the band included "The Rains Came' and "Mendocino." His longtime musical collaborator Augie Meyers played electric organ with the Quintet.

In the 1970s he became an icon of the ``Cosmic Cowboy'' scene in Austin, along with Willie Nelson and Jerry Jeff Walker. In 1973 he recorded an album called Doug Sahm & Band, which featured appearances by Bob Dylan, Dr. John and Flaco Jimenez.

In the late 1980s Sahm teamed up with Freddy Fender, Jimenez and Meyers to form the Tex-Mex super group The Texas Tornados, which had hits with songs such as "Who Were You Thinking Of ?" and "Hey Baby Que Paso?"

Last year Sahm sang a verse of Rio De Tenampa on the Grammy-award-winning Los Super Seven CD, which included members of the Texas Tornados, Los Lobos and other Texas and Hispanic musicians.

LATE TEXAS MUSICIAN HAD COMPLAINED OF ILL HEALTH
By Steve Terrell
November 20, 1999

Doug Sahm and Freddy Fender of The Texas Tornados
The Hole in the Wall, Austin, Texas 1996
Texas musician Doug Sahm had not been feeling well in recent weeks. He complained to friends that he was feeling old, that his hands and arms were feeling numb, that it was getting harder to play the guitar.

And so the Texas Tornados singer drove to New Mexico, which often served as an inspiration for songwriting. This time he came here to be healed.

But on Thursday, Sahm, 58, was found dead in a Taos hotel room.

The cause of death is still unknown. Police have said foul play is not suspected.

Initially, the state Office of the Medical Investigator released Sahm's body to a Taos funeral home, however, now the OMI will conduct an autopsy on Monday in Albuquerque after a request from Sahm's family in Texas, OMI spokesman Tim Stepetic said Friday.

Sahm rose to fame in the 1960s with the Sir Douglas Quintet, but he was best known in recent years for his work with the Texas Tornados.

He usually visited New Mexico about four times a year, said Sharon Steiber, a former Austin, Texas, resident living in Santa Fe and perhaps the last friend Sahm saw.

Steiber, who works at the music department in Borders, said that she and the singer were ``just
buddies.''

``He loved New Mexico and Nova Scotia better than anywhere else in the world,'' Steiber said. ``He said he came here for the spirituality. Texas didn't have any spirituality, he told me.''

She read from the liner notes of a 1998 Sahm CD Get a Life in which Sahm wrote that he was sitting in ``beautiful Taos'' watching snowflakes fall.  [2015 note: I have a version of this, with the same liner notes, called SDQ '98. It has a song called "Get a Life."]

Sahm usually drove a Cadillac or Lincoln Continental when he traveled, Steiber said. ``He loved to drive and be out on the road,'' she said.

``Most the time he came out here he was on his way to California,'' she said. ``Usually, he would visit me here in Santa Fe, then head up to Taos.''

Indeed, that was his plan for this trip, Steiber said. ``He arrived in town Friday night and stayed at a Best Western motel. Then he spent Saturday night at my house.''

Usually Sahm enjoyed going out to restaurants in Santa Fe, but this time he wanted to eat at home, Steiber said.

He didn't seem his usual jovial self, Steiber said. ``He was very serious,'' she said. ``He was walking very slow.''

Sahm always was very health-conscious, Steiber said. "He'd always give the waitress the third degree about what type of mayonnaise the restaurant used.''

She said Sahm carried around a bag of various herbs and vitamins. In an interview in Friday's San Antonio Express, Sahm's longtime musical partner Augie Meyers also mentioned Sahm's "bag of ginseng and vitamins.''

While Sahm was visiting Santa Fe, he and Steiber sat in a hot tub, where Sahm was wheezing, Steiber said. ``He blamed it on the altitude,''

Sahm said he had seen doctors in Texas recently. He was concerned because his arms had been feeling numb and he was having trouble making a fist. He feared he was getting carpel-tunnel syndrome. One doctor said he might have tendonitis.

The two went to Wild Oats supermarket Saturday, where they met up with Jimmy Stadler, a Taos musician who had played at a Texas music festival with Sahm a few years ago.

Stadler said he, Steiber and Sahm talked. "He talked about Flaco Jimenez,'' he said, referring to Sahm's fellow Texas Tornado. "He talked about Austin, how he hated it, but he loved it. He said he was fed up with modern life computers, cell phones, all that stuff. When I talked to his son and told him that, he said, `Yeah, that's my dad.' ''

Sahm might have spent Sunday night at the El Rey Inn, Steiber said. A receptionist there would not confirm whether he stayed there.

Sahm told Steiber he was planning on spending at least one night at Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs. A clerk at the facility confirmed that he checked in Monday and checked out Tuesday.

Then on Tuesday he made it to Taos. A Kachina Lodge desk clerk confirmed Friday that Sahm checked in Tuesday.

On Wednesday morning Sahm called Stadler at his home. ``He said he was feeling bad and asked me to set him up with a doctor, to find someone who could do a house call,'' Stadler said.

"I called a few friends of mine who are doctors, but they couldn't make it.'' He called Sahm back at the hotel. "I told him about a walk-up clinic, but he said he was afraid of doctors. He said he thought he'd just try to sleep it off.''

This was the last known conversation Sahm had.

Stadler called back on Tuesday to check on Sahm. ``Nobody answered the phone,'' he said. ``I was worried. I called the hotel and asked them to send someone to check on him.''

The Kachina Lodge desk clerk said a maid went to the room and opened the door.

"She found him lying on the floor,'' she said. "It appeared that he had been dead for some time.''

Police and an ambulance arrived, but Sahm was pronounced dead at the hotel.

"I feel bad,'' Stadler said. "I wish there would have been something I could have done.''

TERRELL'S TUNE-UP: Memorable Songs from The Alvin Brothers

UPDATED 10-17-15 with new video

A version of this was published in The Santa Fe New Mexican 
October 16, 2015

If you rate albums on the basis of how many times you find yourself singing its songs to yourself during the day, then Lost Time by Dave & Phil Alvin would definitely be the top record of the year.


Seriously, I’ve lost count of the times I’ve caught myself — in my car, at home, during interviews with important political leaders (just kidding, just kidding) — humming or singing under my breath “Papa’s on the House Top” or “In New Orleans (Rising Sun Blues)” from this cool little album. I can’t help myself. The only places I’m immune to it are at the farmers market or the produce section of supermarkets. And that’s because at those places I’m usually singing Brian Wilson’s “Vegetables.” (I’m sure there is a name for this disease.)

Before we go on with my true confessions, let’s talk about these Alvin brothers for the benefit of the uninitiated. Back in the early ’80s, these Downey, California, natives were the core of one of the greatest groups of the era, the Blasters. Older brother Phil sang while Dave played guitar and wrote songs for the band, which was part of an impressive and highly influential Los Angeles roots-rock scene that included Los Lobos, country singer Dwight Yoakam, and the punk gods X. (Dave Alvin was briefly a member of X.)

And even before the Blasters, Dave and Phil were obsessed with the senior blues, early rock, and R & B giants who were still alive and pickin’ in the late ’60s and ’70s. They’d sneak into clubs like the Ash Grove and sometimes even hang out with rasty old blues heroes old enough to be their grandfather.

Dave Alvin in Santa Fe 2009 with The Guilty Women
By the mid-’80s, after four studio albums and untold amounts of sibling rivalry (Google “The Kinks”), the Blasters broke up. Dave, after his stint with X (and X’s side project, the Knitters) went on to a successful solo career.

Phil did a couple of solo albums, most notably Un “Sung” Stories, a 1986 effort that included some tracks with Sun Ra’s Arkestra. He also revived the Blasters — without Dave, though little brother Dave has occasionally reunited with the group. Back in 2011, Phil did a guest spot on a song on Dave’s album Eleven Eleven — a song appropriately called “What’s Up With Your Brother?” It was the first time the two had recorded together since the Blasters’ heyday.

Then last year — following an abscessed tooth infection that hospitalized and nearly killed Phil — the two did an actual album together, Common Ground, a tribute CD featuring songs by blues titan Big Bill Broonzy. Apparently that album wasn’t just a one-shot deal. On Lost Time, the brothers sound as if in their late middle age, they’re actually enjoying making music with each other again. Like the Broonzy album, there are jaunty acoustic country-blues numbers as well as hard-edged, Blasterific blues.

Hootenanny 2009, Irvine, Calif.
The album starts out with “Mister Kicks,” a song by under-recognized (nearly forgotten) R & B/pop singer Oscar Brown Jr. from his masterpiece 1960 album, Sin & Soul. Nearly a decade before The Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil,” Brown, backed by beatnik bongos, sang, “Permit me to introduce myself, the name is Mr. Kicks/I dwell in the dark dominion way down by the River Styx.” There are no bongos in the new version, but in the hands of the Alvin brothers, the song becomes a natural vehicle for Phil’s soulful tenor and Dave’s piercing guitar.

Another standout on Lost Time is “Sit Down, Baby,” an old Otis Rush chugging tune (written by Willie Dixon) that Dave sings. It starts off with a classic blues meme about “the little red rooster” talking to “the little brown hen” and then moves seamlessly to a new take on the Aesop fable with a hepcat turtle taunting the rabbit (“You ain’t got a chance of winning this race!”). Then it gets into politics with a verse about an old labor dispute: “The C.I.O told U.S. Steel/We ain’t gonna take your dirty deal.” The Alvins added a verse about Rosa Parks (she tells an Alabama judge that it’s time for him to sit in the back of the bus) that wasn’t in Rush’s original.

Dave and Phil do a couple of tasty upbeat gospel songs here. The brothers trade off verses on an electric (and electrifying) version of “World’s In a Bad Condition,” an old song. (I can’t say for sure who did it first, but I found a 1935 version by a quartet called Heavenly Gospel Singers on YouTube.) And the album concludes with a Rev. Thomas A. Dorsey song, “If You See My Savior.” The brothers do this in a sweet acoustic country style. They sing this as a call-and-response, with Phil calling and Dave responding.

As for those memorable songs that always seem to pop into my brain, “Papa’s on the House Top” is a funny old 1930 novelty by blues pianist Leroy Carr. “In New Orleans (Rising Sun Blues)” is a version of the old whorehouse lament, “House of the Rising Sun.” But you might not recognize the melody. Gone is the slow pace and minor key that The Animals (and Bob Dylan and Josh White and countless others) popularized. I can’t quite figure out where the melody the Alvins use came from, but to my ears, it sounds closer to the 1933 version by Tom Clarence Ashley and Gwen Foster than to anything else.

Not every song on Lost Time is a winner. While Phil does a respectable job on “Please Please Please,” I can’t see anyone ever topping James Brown’s original.

But there are so many great tracks here, that’s just a slight quibble. I hope Dave and Phil continue to demonstrate together the Alvin family values.

Video Time!

UPDATED 10-17-15
I'm adding this on Saturday, the day after I posted the original version of this Tune-Up. I just learned this morning that this new video of the Alvins singing  “World’s In a Bad Condition” debuted Friday on the Relix site. And it's a good one!


Dave and Phil play a song from their previous album, Common Ground.



On this one, the brothers play a couple of old Blasters tunes



Here is an early version of "This Old World is on Bad Condition."




And please allow me to introduce you to Oscar Brown, Jr. and "Mr. Kicks."





THROWBACK THURSDAY: Send Me to the 'Lectric Chair!

Here's a little courtroom drama for you:

Judge you want to hear my plea 
Before you open up your court
But I don't want no sympathy
'Cause I done cut my good man's throat
I caught him with a trifling Jane
I warned him 'bout before
I had my knife and went insane
And the rest you ought to know

These, of course are the opening lines of "'Send Me to the 'Lectric Chair," a black-humor ditty recorded in 1927 by The Empress of the Blues, Bessie Smith.

The song, credited to George Brooks -- which was a pseudonym for Fletcher Henderson, the influential bandleader and music director. This is one of many tunes he wrote for Bessie. But it's the most memorable.

The woman in the song is begging the judge to send her to the chair because she knows she has to reap what she's sown.

And if the judge was prone to having sympathy for the poor woman, it probably dissipated after she added  these details to her true confession:

I cut him with my Barlow 
I kicked him in the side
I stood here laughing o'er him
While he wallowed around and died

Yep, by that time he probably was ready to send her to the Devil down below, just like she requested.

Here's Bessie's original:



In 1958 Dinah Washington released an album called Dinah sings Bessie Smith. " 'Lectric Chair" was on it. Below is a TV performance by Washington. I don't know which show it is but it's sometime after her Bessie album was released.


Like a lot of folks my age, I came to this song through David Bromberg's version, which appeared on his 1974 album Wanted Dead or Alive. It's still a staple of his live shows. Playing the lead himself on acoustic guitar, Bromberg turned " 'Lectric  Chair" into a crazy Dixieland romp. He changed the lyrics slightly to make the narrator/killer into a man. (Instead of a "trifling Jane," his loved one was messing around with a "gambling Joe.")

One of my favorite touches is when Bromberg, when begging the judge, says, "Mr. Sirica, please ..." (This was recorded during the Watergate  era, remember.)

Here's a live 1977 performance.



And somehow this funny little song of crime and punishment led to a very short but very strange 2009 film of the same title directed by Guy Maddin and Isabella Rosselini. Actually the film doesn't seem to have much to do with the tune -- except the fact that a snippet of Bessie's song comes in briefly at the 1:31 mark.

WACKY WEDNESDAY: Some Satanic Tales from The Vinyl Wastelands



It's the Wacky Wednesday Halloween Countdown!

I recently scored not one but two CD volumes of the incredible Twisted Tales from the Vinyl Wastelands series for a good price. And that was just a few weeks after I purchased another volume from Norton Records, where all 15 volumes are now sold legally.

(And very soon, the wizards at Trailer Park Records will be releasing new vinyl versions of Twisted Tales. Keep an eye on the Facebook page for more info.)

So I've been listening to a lot of Twisted Tales tunes lately, sometimes on shuffle mode. And sometimes I've heard THE DEVIL!

Here are three twisted Satanic tales from this wonderful series.

"When De Debbil Taps You On De Back" by Della Hicks) available on Vol. 9: Sorrow City Heebie Jeebies)



"The Devil, My Conscious and I " by Billy Barton (available on Volume 6: Strange Happenings at the Boonies.)



"The Devil Made Me Do It" by child singing sensation Duane Williams (available on Vol.1: Hog Tied & Country Fried)



And what the hell, maybe this devilish delight from my feckless youth will be one some future volume of Twisted Tales ...
