Sliding Down Your Digital Chimney, a New Big Enchilada!

OK, once again this is not really a Christmas podcast. I included just enough Christmas songs to make you smash your head against the bathroom mirror, not enough to chop off your own head. Besides, fans of this kind of music got some bad news right before I started working on this: Roy Loney, a founding member of The Flamin' Groovies died. So there's a rocking Roy tribute right in the middle of the show

And remember, The Big Enchilada is officially listed in the iTunes store. So go subscribe, if you haven't already (and gimme a good rating and review if you're so inclined.) Thanks.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: A Belated Birthday Salute to Big Mama Thornton

Willie Mae Thornton, better known as "Big Mama," would have turned 93 on Wednesday. But she died in 1984 at the age of 57.

Happy belated birthday, Big Mama.

Born in Ariton, Alabama she started her musical path singing in church, though she was drawn to the blues of Bessie Smith and Memphis Minnie. Thornton was a hard-living, hard-drinking R&B singer whose heyday was in the 1950s, when she was part of Johnny Otis' Revue.

Though she deserved fame on her own talents, Thornton is best known for two songs done later by other singers.

She recorded the first version of "Hound Dog," written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller in 1952. A guy named Presley had a huge hit with a seriously mutated version of that song three years later.

She also wrote an odd, dark blues called "Ball and Chain" in the early '60s, though it wasn't released until after Janis Joplin, fronting Big Brother & The Holding Company, recorded it and made it famous in 1968. (And in an archetypal story of music industry greed and cruelty, her record company owned the copyright, so Thornton didn't receive any royalties from Janis' cover.

Have I told you lately how much I hate the music industry?

Big Mama outlived both Elvis and Janis, but by the time the '80s came around, the booze had destroyed her liver and her heart. Despite her trademark girth for so many years, when she died, she reportedly weighed less than 100 pounds.

But today, we celebrate her life and music. Let's start with her best known song:




Big Mama knew rats as well as hound dogs.



Here's "Ball and Chain" before Big Brother put it through the psychedelic grinder:



Big Mama recorded this Ray Charles hit in 1969



In 1980, Aretha Franklin had Big Mama as a guest on her TV special. Thornton would have been in her early 50s at the time she and Aretha sang this Bessie Smith classic.

WACKY WEDNESDAY: Cornell Hurd's Comic Country

Just got back to town last night, so Wacky Wednesday is a little late today ...

While visiting Austin, Texas last week, I got to see Cornell Hurd and his always-amazing band for the first time in several years.

Besides his strong voice and tight country-swing group (Cornell eschews the term "country," preferring to call his sound "Texas dance music"), what I like best about Cornell is his songwriting, which is fortified by his sardonic sense of humor. Many of his song titles alone are funnier than most of what passes as "comedy" these days.

It's too bad that I couldn't find "The Genitalia of a Fool" on YouTube. But below are some other great examples:

Cornell played this one (and gave a similar intro) when I saw him last week.



I washed my mind in muddy water ...



This may leave you .... breathless -ah



Mom was ahead of her time



This is one of my son's favorites when he was growing up (from probably my favorite kiddie album by anyone.)
