New Album from Young Black Joe

Black Joe in Santa Fe last year

Black Joe Lewis and The Honeybears, who have played Sol Santa Fe twice in the past couple of years, have a new album about to drop at the end of the month.

It's called Electric Slave and the whole darn thing is streaming online at Paste magazine. 

Listen to two songs below:

Hat tip to Michael Coleman for tweeting about this today.





UPDATED 8-21- 8:25 am: Fixed to include the second song and to provide link to Paste where the whole album is streaming.

Salute to Yucca Records

Let's start this week off with a salute to a some New Mexico rock 'n' roll history: Yucca Records in Alamogordo.

This company put out some great rock, country and blues sounds in the 1950s and '60s. Probably the best known rock rocker to record there was El Paso's The Bobby Fuller Four, who released two singles on Yucca in 1961. Also bluesman Long John Hunter released several 45s on Yucca. The complete 45 Discography is HERE.

Norton Records has acquired a "motherlode" of unreleased Yucca recordings, which a recent Norton email described as "a star in Norton's ever growing constellation of able labels. Yucca’s output in the 1950’s and 1960’s is equaled by the number of world class recordings that sat in the can for fifty years."

This music is "selectively scattered throughout the ever-growing Norton Southwest series called El Paso Rock."

Here's some Youtubes of a few Yucca records:




Finally, some politically-incorrect fun with hijacking ...

Karen Black Sings "Rolling Stone" (and "Memphis")

Last night on the Santa Fe Opry I played Neko Case's version OF the song "Rolling Stone."

That was a modest tribute to the late Karen Black, who died Aug. 8. Black, who portrayed a country singer named Connie White in Robert Altman's Nashville not only performed the song in the movie, she wrote the darn thing.

And yes, that's Vassar Clements on fiddle

Neko's version is on a tribute album of various alt-country types performing songs from the Nashville soundtrack.

I couldn't find footage of that performance in the movie, but here's a Youtube of that song, plus "Memphis," the other song she wrote and sang in Nashville. 

R.I.P.Karen.
