Happy HOT summer!

It’s the time of year for working in the yard, tending to gardens, taking trips, going on vacations and doing

many other things. I hope you have been able to spend some fun time with family and friends.

The summer has also been a busy time for your Officers and Board Members. We’ve been working on

upgrades to the web site and its layout (check it out), cleaning up our membership roster, updating our

Corporate Member policies, managing mini-meetings and much more. I’d like to extend a personal

“Thank you” to the rest of the Board, our committee members and others who have been helping push us

ahead behind the scenes.

At the summer meeting of the Association of Carolina Shag Clubs I made a presentation about the Association of Beach and Shag

Club DJ’s and the role we play in the shag world. I also talked about the ways individuals, groups and businesses can support our

organization and our efforts. After the meeting, fifty-two shag clubs signed up to become Corporate Members. I would like to thank

them and welcome them. I expect more shag clubs will be joining, soon. Working together with the ACSC, SOS, lounges and other

pieces of the “shag world” can make all of us stronger and more capable of perpetuating the music and the dance that we all love.

I also shared some generic information about our new and improved DJ Throwdown 2020 at that meeting. We received a huge

round of applause from the shag club representatives when they heard what we intend to do! It is invigorating to see all of the posi-

tive responses we are getting from others when they hear about our plans. The excitement is building and it is contagious!

Speaking of Throwdown 2020, we are working on more detailed plans and are already promoting our March 5-8 event. I would like

to see each and every DJ in our Association participate in the promotion of Throwdown and other pre-event efforts this year. Can

your Association count on you?

Dennis Brumble has Reverse Raffle Tickets for the event. Top prize this year will be $8000. There will also be twenty $100 prizes.

So, a lot of people are going to win cash! Your immediate support of this effort will be very much appreciated. Please contact Den-

nis (dennisbrumble@sc.rr.com or 803-312-2895) as soon as possible and let’s see how quickly we can sell all of them. It would be

great to be finished long before the party starts.

Peggy and I traveled to Junior SOS mid-July. Having been involved with the Junior Shag Association (JSA) since before it was

officially created, I’m pleased to see how it has grown and prospered over the decades. Our organization and our DJ’s are to be

commended. The financial support our Association has provided and the personal efforts some or our members have given have

been crucial to the success of the JSA and Junior SOS.

While at the beach we had lunch and some great discussions with Dwayne and Robin Porter, the new owners of Ducks. They have

committed to perpetuating the history of the lounge and making things better. This includes some upgrades to the interior and exte-

rior of the building, putting in new A/C units, etc. On behalf of the ABSCDJ’s, I’d like welcome them to the shag community.

Finally, if you have any suggestions to improve our organization or any of our efforts, I always welcome them. And remember,

your Association needs YOU! Volunteer today and help “make the DJ Association great again”. J

I’ll close with these lyrics from “American Pie”:

A long, long time ago,

I can still remember how that music used to make me smile.

And I knew if I had my chance, that I could make those people dance,

And maybe they'd be happy for a while.

Mike

The Du Droppers were an American doo-wop group

formed in Harlem, New York, in 1952. Members of the

band were experienced gospel singers in ensembles dated

to the 1940s. The Du Droppers could do it all: from a

bluesy pop sound, through Rhythm & Blues, all the way to

Rock 'n' Roll. They were a more mature group than most

when they formed in early 1952. The original members

were: J.C. Ginyard (lead), Willie Ray (tenor and baritone),

Harvey Ray (baritone and tenor), and Eddie Harshaw

(bass). Willie Ray was the youngest at about 30; Ginyard,

the oldest, was 42. Eddie Harshaw, from Cincinnati, had

been part of a group called the 5 Tones, made up of soldiers

stationed at Camp Lee, Virginia in 1942.

They won a base talent contest and got to

sing with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra at

the Capitol Theater in Washington, DC on

August 18 (they did "Shout, Brother,

Shout").

Caleb Nathaniel Ginyard, Junior was born

on January 15, 1910 in St. Matthews,

South Carolina. Since he was Caleb Na-

thaniel, Junior, people took to calling him

"Junior Caleb," and that's where the "J.C."

came from. He formed the Royal Harmony

Singers (Decca) in 1936, a group that met-

amorphosed into the Jubalaires in 1941 (recording for Dec-

ca and King). In 1948, he joined the Dixieaires (who rec-

orded for King, Continental, Sunrise, Prestige, and Sittin' In

With). The Ray Brothers had been with the Southwest Jubi-

lee Singers, and Eddie Harshaw was a friend of Ginyard.

The Du Droppers would get together in the basement of

Ginyard's apartment house at 149th Street and 7th Avenue

in Harlem. There was a piano there and the new group

practiced until they felt they were ready to start a profes-

sional career. With the 15 years of experience that Ginyard

brought to the group, they quickly attracted some attention.

Charlie Newsome became their road manager and arranged

for most of their auditions. Paul Kapp, manager of the Del-

ta Rhythm Boys, took over their management. (Kapp's

brother, Dave, was later to found the successful Kapp La-

bel. A third brother, Jack, had started Decca Records in

America. When they had only been together a few months,

Newsome got them an audition with Bobby Robinson of

Red Robin Records.

Around August of 1952, the Du Droppers recorded a cou-

ple of sides for Red Robin ("Can't Do Sixty No More" and

"Chain Me Baby") that were released in September. The

former song was, of course, a belated answer to the Domi-

noes' "Sixty Minute Man" (and was a completely different

song than the one the Dominoes would release in February

of 1955). "Chain Me Baby" is a great bluesy sound that

really shows you what the Du Droppers were capable of.

Although it failed to chart, "Can't Do Sixty No More" was

well received in Canadian markets, where the group first

began touring. Soon after, Harshaw departed the Du Drop-

pers, and was replaced by Bob Kornegay, formerly

of Julian Dash's orchestra. Feeling the label

did not adequately distribute their records,

the group left Red Robin Records to sign

with RCA Records.

On February 17, 1953, the Du Droppers

recorded four songs for RCA: "I Wanna

Know," "Laughing Blues," "Baby Don't

Leave Me In This Mood," and "Get

Lost." RCA Victor gave the Du Droppers

a recording session with producer Joe

Thomas. Ginyard had some words he

heard from some little young girls that used

to stand around his door stoop. One of

them said one night "I want to know what you do when you

go 'round there." So Ginyard wrote that down and carried it

in his pocket for a long time before he did anything with it.

When he told producer Joe Thomas about it, he said "Go

home and write it." Around that time, Ginyard had met a

great musician, who used to play with Ella Fitzgerald,

named Raymond “Tuney” Tunia, who had been the Ink

Spots arranger/pianist in the mid-40s. Ginyard went to

Tuney's house with this song, the melody and all. So Tuney

took the melody down and he said "Well, it's all right, but

it's just about 1/4 of a bar short." Ginyard said, "Well, I

could straighten that out..." but Tuney said, "No, don't both-

er. I'll write the music and the musicians will play it, and

they will skip that 1/4 of a bar, and it may be a gimmick."

During the recording session at RCA they were trying to

find a beginning for this song and couldn't. In the studio

was the great Ben Webster from Duke Ellington's band.

Ben was sitting up there, hanging over his saxophone,

asleep. Producer Joe Thomas said, "Hey, Ben! What can (Continued on page 6)

Old School Shag History Submitted by Dennis Brumble

The Du Droppers

ABSCDJ Update Page 6

you do with this song?" Ben said, "What song?" They had

been rehearsing the song for about an hour, and Ben had

been sleeping and didn't hear it! The Du Droppers started

singing the song again: "I want to know, yes I want to know

pretty baby, wanna know, yes your daddy wants...." , Ben

said, "Wait a minute, Joe." He crawled down off his stool,

took his horn and blew "doo doo doo doo." Joe said, "That's

it!"

In March, the first two were issued as the Du Droppers'

initial RCA offering. Next, the Du Droppers backed up Big

John Greer on a March 23 session that produced three

sides: "Ride Pretty Baby," "Don't Worry About It," and

"Confusion Blues" (which starts off with an interchange

between J.C. Ginyard and Big Bob Kornegay). The first

two were released on RCA (with the Du Droppers uncredit-

ed) in April. On April 11, "I Wanna Know" was a Pick of

the Week in the trades. In spite of being covered (in an ex-

cellent version) by the Checkers, the song sailed up to #3

on R&B charts. This became the first time in a year that

RCA had had a national R&B hit and the record label reo-

pened its R&B department. Later in May, RCA issued the

follow-up to "I Wanna Know." Titled “I Found Out (What

You Do When You Go 'Round There), " it also shot up to

#3. Its flip was "Little Girl, Little Girl."

The next Du Droppers RCA session was held on July 28,

1953, at which time they recorded an-

other four songs: "Somebody Work On

My Baby's Mind," "Whatever You're

Doin' (Keep On Doin' It)," "Ten Past

Midnight," and "My Thrill Girl." The

first two were released in August, just

around the time the Du Droppers began

a Shaw Artists tour with the Joe Morris

Orchestra. On September 12, it was

reported that "Somebody Work On My

Baby's Mind" was doing well in St.

Louis, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Durham,

and parts of Tennessee. On October 7,

the Du Droppers recorded two songs:

"Bamalam” and "Don't Pass Me By."

"Don't Pass Me By" was paired with "Get Lost" for an Oc-

tober release. On November 5, the Du Droppers recorded

some songs with white Pop singer Sunny Gale: "Mama's

Gone, Goodbye", "The Note In The Bottle", and "Don't

Cry Mama"; the first two were released later that month.

Another session, held on December 16, saw the recording

of "You're Wrong, "Speed King," "Drink Up" and "I Wan-

na Love You."

The final session of 1953 was held on December 30, at

which time five tunes were recorded:

"Bamalam" (the second take), " Drink Up," (also a second

take), "Had To Play My Number," "Dead Broke," and "I

Only Had A Little." "Bamalam" is such a great song that

it's hard to imagine why RCA didn't release either version.

As the results of the year were tallied up, the Du Droppers

found themselves as hit makers. "I Wanna Know" was

number 13 in Billboard's Top R&B Tunes of 1953 and "I

Found Out" was number 39. The Du Droppers themselves

were the sixth most popular vocal group of 1953, accord-

ing to a poll by Rhythm And Blues Magazine. When the

group was booked at the Orchid Room in Kansas City in

early 1954, Ginyard recruited high tenor Prentice Mo-

reland to become the fifth member of the Du Droppers. On

February 8, 1954, RCA announced the formation of its new

Groove subsidiary. From here on, all Du Droppers’ rec-

ords would be released on Groove. In fact, two Du Drop-

pers sides were chosen to be the very first Groove issue:

"Speed King" and "Dead Broke." On February 5, they ap-

peared at The Armory, in Petersburg, Virginia. From there,

they went to Rochester, New York, where they appeared at

the Capitol Theater, on February 22, along with Count Ba-

sie and Bixie Crawford.

There was another session on, March 18, 1954,at which

they recorded "Just Whisper," "I've Never Been There,"

"How Much Longer"(led by Prentice

Moreland), and "You've Been Good To

Everybody." "Just Whisper" and "How

Much Longer" were issued in

April. Sometime after the March ses-

sion , Prentice Moreland departed

(following a pattern of never staying

with a group very long). Later on, he

sang with Billy Ward's Dominoes, be-

fore traveling to California, joining

the Cadets, and uttering the famous

"great googa mooga, lemme outta here"

on "Stranded In The Jungle." He also

sang with the Crescendos on Atlantic,

the Colts/Fortunes, the Hollywood

Flames, and the Chanteclairs, as well as recording under

the name Prentice Moore. On August 11, there was another

session. This time the Du Droppers recorded "Boot 'Em

Up," "Honey Bunch," "If You Just Don't Leave," and

"Let Nature Take Its Course." In mid-1954, Joe Van Loan,

tenor lead of the Ravens on Mercury, got together with

some friends of his and cut a record. These friends were

J.C. Ginyard, Willie Ray, and Bob Kornegay, who just hap-

pened to be three-quarters of the Du-Droppers (Harvey Ray

(Continued from page 5)

(Continued on page 7)

ABSCDJ Update Page 7

wasn't on the session). Using Ginyard's "Dixieaires" catch-

all name, they cut a single record for the Harlem label. Joe

Van Loan leads on "Traveling All Alone" and Bob

Kornegay is out front on "I'm

Not Like I Used To Be." Since

this Dixieaires group was more

or less the Du-Droppers, Joe

decided to make it more or less

official, appearing with that

group, starting in late August

1954, as a fifth member

(although he was still singing

with the Ravens at the time).

However, since Harvey Ray left

a few weeks later, they were

down to a quartet again (Joe Van

Loan, J.C. Ginyard, Willie Ray,

and Bob Kornegay). At this

point a curious legal battle was

going on. Sometime in the

spring of 1954, manager Paul

Kapp had sold the Du Droppers'

management contract to Jack

Angel of Herald Records for $2,000. The Du Droppers'

recording contract with RCA was due to expire in October

1954 and Angel was ready to record the group for Herald.

However, RCA announced that it was exercising a one-

year renewable option clause in the group's contract. The

controversy went on for months, but Angel was clearly the

loser. However, he could, and did, stop Joe Van Loan from

recording with the group.

The Du Droppers finally got to record again on April 1,

1955, and Groove came up with a new "secret lead singer."

They even had witnesses present to swear that it wasn't Joe

Van Loan (just in case Jack Angel was listening). The

"secret lead" was Charles "Carnation Charlie" Hughes

(who would later sing with the Drifters). To make matters

more confusing, Van Loan was still appearing with the

group and Hughes was never a member - he was just used

on the session (and can be heard as lead on "Give Me Some

Consideration"). The members were therefore J.C.

Ginyard, Willie Ray, Charlie Hughes, and Bob Kornegay

(on the session, with Joe Van Loan, and not Charlie

Hughes, doing appearances). The other songs recorded that

day were: "You're Mine Already," "I Wanna Thank You,"

and "Talk That Talk."

When they came back from Canada, they did one final ses-

sion for Groove, on June 27, 1955. They laid down four not

very convincing Rock 'n' Roll covers of hit tunes: "Smack

Dab In The Middle," "That's All I Need," "Story Untold,"

and "Rollin' Stone." These were all issued, as an EP,

around July. In August, Groove issued the final Du Drop-

pers record: "You're Mine Already," backed with "I Wanna

Love You." Sometime in the spring of 1955, Joe Van

Loan, Willie Ray, Bob Kornegay,

and Willis Sanders (who's usually

associated with the Embers) rec-

orded for George Goldner's Rama

label as the Bells. Their one rec-

ord was "What Can I Tell Her

Now" backed with "Let Me Love

Love You," released in July. The

Du Droppers were on their way to

a Canadian tour when Joe Van

Loan suddenly left them cold, in

order to go back with the Ravens

full time. Harvey Ray then re-

turned and they (Ginyard,

Kornegay, and the Ray brothers)

continued the tour.

At this point, J.C. Ginyard left, to

join the Golden Gate Quartet. He

stayed with them from 1955 to

1971, by which time they'd all relocated to Europe. He then

moved to Switzerland and performed as a soloist until his

death on August 11, 1978. The Golden Gate Quartet had

recorded on several labels and also as the Dixieaires (but

not any of the groups mentioned previously) on Exclusive

in 1948. This is how Ginyard described his leaving the Du

Droppers: “We went into the Iroquois Hotel in London,

Ontario, and worked there in the bar until the group got so

radical in the hotel, getting drunk in the room and every-

thing else and raisin' sand until people complained about

it. Then I had to disband the group. I came back to New

York and went to Joe Glaser's office, our booking agent,

and stopped the name of the Du Droppers.”

He may have thought that he'd disbanded the group, but the

Du Droppers replaced Ginyard with Robert Bowers, for-

merly of the Charioteers. Unfortunately, his voice was

much higher than Van Loan's and it was felt that this com-

pletely changed the sound of the group. By late '55 or early

'56, the Du Droppers had broken up.

And this has been a small slice of Old School Shag History.

Jaye Hammer, the southern soul singer

who went blind from a detached retina at

the age of twenty-six, has quietly amassed

an impressive resume over the course of a

half-dozen albums. His 2005 debut was

followed by a fallow period during which

the blindness descended, a seemingly more

cruel fate (having seen the world and lost it

in adulthood) than singers like Clarence

Carter, blind from birth, or Ray Charles,

whose blindness became complete by the

age of seven.

Delta producer Aaron Weddington, who

had discovered Hammer as a gospel-

singing child prodigy, introduced him to

Ecko Records' John Ward during this peri-

lous transitional period, and Jaye's five

albums for the Memphis label between

2012 and 2017 have positioned Hammer as

a solid if second-tier contemporary south-

ern soul performer, lacking only a signifi-

cant "breakthrough" single in his quest for

wider popularity. Hammer's fans might

argue that "I Ain't Leaving Mississippi"is,

or should have been, that "breakthrough"

single. With lyrics like:

"I got my first piece of coochie

In the middle of a cotton field,

And had my first drink of whiskey

From my grand-daddy's still."

it's an autobiographical (or seemingly auto-

biographical) gem.

Jaye Hammer's new album Double Trou-

ble, his sixth Ecko release, has a single

that begs for inclusion in that list of Ham-

mer's "best". It's Track 1,. "She's My Baby

Forever" a cradle-rocking tempo propels a

melody that will seem familiar to soul mu-

sic aficionados. That's

because it's based on

the old Latimore

standard, "Sunshine

Lady". The vocal and

instrumental tracks

are executed with

taste and flair. It's a

beautiful song and deserves to be ranked

among Jaye's finest. Straight up the tempo

is a little slow at 85 bpm so you will need

to increase the tempo; I increased it by +23

to get it to 108 bpm which makes it a

mighty fine Shag Traxx. Track 2, “Groupie

Girls” , has Jaye singing about being a

married man and resisting the temptation

of the groupie girls. At 117 bpm this Shag

Traxx screams for everyone to “Get On

The Dance Floor”! Track 5 “We’re Step-

pin’ Out Tonight” is a “Steppin” tempo at

98 bpm but I was able to increase the tem-

po by +19 and the Key to -10c to create a

great Shag Traxx, and my favorite, at 116

bpm.

O. B. Buchana was born in Mound Bayou,

Mississippi and spent his childhood in

Clarksdale, Mississippi. O.B. began sing-

ing when he was only 8 in the gospel choir

at his Baptist church. By the time he was a

teenager the gospel group Mighty Suns Of

God selected him to be their lead singer. In

the early 1990's O.B. signed with the rec-

ord label Blue River and he recorded his

first hit single "Back Up Lover" . His first

disc "It's Over" followed to critical ac-

claim. Next he signed with Suzie Q Rec-

ords for "I Got Caught". His career has truly

taken off after signing with Ecko Records.

His latest Ecko release is Face Down.

Track 1, “I Need A Drink”, is the best

Shag Traxx at 116

bpm with O. B. sing-

ing about busting his

hump five days a

week, boss on his

back, low pay, bill

collectors hounding

him, etc, and going

to the club on Friday

night because he needs a drink. Track 6,

“Just Crusin” has a Young Rascal’s

“Groovin’ feel to it. At 89 bpm you will

need to increase the tempo to 106 – 108

bpm.

For those of you that do not have a prob-

lem playing the Southern Soul sexual ex-

ploitation songs (i.e .”From The

Back”,“Stand Up In It”,“Make It Talk”,

“Rock The Man In The Boat” , etc.), you

have three more tracks to add to your play

list. On Track 9, “Hot Doggin’ Cold Lov-

in’ ” O. B. sings about visiting his “Side

Piece” and while he is working on it, she is

falling asleep. Track 8 “I Hump It” should

be self-explanatory. The title track on

Track 3 “Face Down” features a bass line

straight out of the chronicles of funk, with

lyrics extolling either doggy-style or

slurpie-style, not sure which yet.

Ecko Records has released its latest in the

Blues Mix series with Blues Mix 28

Dance Party Soul. This CD contains three

excellent Shag Traxx. Track 4 has O. B.

Buchana with “You’re Welcome To The

Party”,a great tune at 118 bpm. Donnie

Ray continues with

the “Party” theme

with Track 7 “Let’s

Get This Party Start-

ed” at 120 bpm. Both

of these tracks get

your feet moving and

make you want to run

to the dance floor.

Track 11 has O. B. Buchana with “You’ve

Been Good To Me” at a smooth 108 bpm.

There is a remix of Jaye Hammer’s “I

Ain’t Leavin’ Mississippi” on Track 3. In

my humble opinion I do not think it is as

good as the original. Why mess with suc-

cess? Play the original. There is an intri-

guing tune on Track 5 from artist KT that

is growing on me the more I listen to it.

The tune is “Get Your Freak On” . Give it

a listen and see what you think.

Alligator Records has released Hail To

The Kings!, the dynamic new album from

traditional

blues innova-

tors The Cash

Box Kings.

Co-lead by

real-deal Chi-

cago blues

vocalist and

songwriter

Oscar Wilson

and Madison,

Wisconsin-based songwriter, harmonica

master and singer Joe Nosek. The band

plays brilliantly raw and unvarnished

houserocking blues. Wilson’s huge, gritty

vocals and Nosek’s powerhouse harmonica

fuel their razor-sharp original songs.

Mixing tough Chicago and Delta blues,

jumping prototype rock ‘n’ roll and steam-

rolling “Bluesabilly” (their original mix of

Chicago blues and Memphis rockabilly),

they attack every song hey play with con-

temporary authority and old school authen-

ticity. The extraordinary ensemble of

Nosek, Wilson, guitarist Billy Flynn bass-

ist John W. Lauler, drummer Kenny

“Beedy Eyes” Smith and their friend, pia-

nist Queen Lee Kanehira, is a true force of

nature.

Hail To The Kings! Follows their critical-

ly acclaimed 2017 Alligator debut, Royal

Mint. The new album, recorded in Chicago

and produced by Nosek, features 13 songs,

included 11 originals written or co-written

by Nosek and Wilson. According to

Nosek, one of the secret weapons of Hail

To The Kings! is Wilson’s growth as a

songwriter. “He’s always brought great

originiality to the maretial”, says Nosek,

:but now he’s bursting with songs and ide-

as.”

The Shag Traxx on this album include

Track 2 “The Wine Talkin’ " at 121 bpm

featuring a playful duet with lead singer

Oscar Wilson and guest vocalist Shemekia

Copeland. Track 3 “I’ll Take Anything I

Can” at 130 bpm showcases the skills of

guitarists Billy Flynn and the harmonica of

Joe Nosek.

There are several “houserocking” jumpers

that may be hard to shag to but neverthe-

less are fun to listen to. The includes Ain't

No Fun When The Rabbit's Got The Gun,

"Hunchin On My Baby", "Wrong Num-

ber", "Back Off" and "I'm The Man Down

There".

VizzTone/Direct Hit records has re-

leased Nancy Wright’s latest CD Alive

and Blue. Nancy Wright is one of the

most highly respected and in-demand

sax players on today’s blues, Americana

and R&B scene.

Recently receiving her third consecutive

Blues Music Award nomination, she is

following up her very successful 2016

VizzTone/Direct Hit release, PLAY-

DATE, with a smoking hot live record-

ing from the legendary San Francisco

live music club, The Saloon, featuring

her own Rhythm

and Roots band:

Nancy on sax and

vocals, drummer

Paul Revelli, Tony

Lufrano on keys

and background

vocals, Jeff Tame-

lier on guitar and

background vocals, and Karl Sevareid

on bass. The twelve-song set features

five of Nancy’s original compositions,

and showcases the relaxed interplay of

veteran musicians.

Shag Traxx include track 3 “I Don’t Want

No Man” at 130 bpm with a great shuffle

beat and dynamite sax, piano and guitar

solos. A little long at 6:21 you will need to

fade it early or use cool edit to fix it to

your liking. Track 6 “Sugar Coated Love”

is another cover of the 1958 Lazy Lester

recording. This song has also been covered

by many artists including Barbara Lynn,

The Fabulous Thunderbirds and Lou Ann

Barton. This is a very good cover with

Nancy’s saxophone adding another dimen-

sion to this song.

Three-time Blues Music Award winner,

Terry Hanck is in the modern pantheon

of tenor sax greats. His sound is at the

nexus of classic New Orleans R&B,

Chicago blues and soul, West Coast

honk and Mem-

phis rock and

roll. The guy has

a voice that still

make women

swoon. His lyr-

ics are ranked

among the best

in his idiom.

Terry’s five

originals stand

shoulder-to-shoulder with some of his

hand-picked favorites by Louis Jordan,

Sam “Lightning” Hopkins, Bobby

Charles, Eddie “Cleanhead” Vinson and

Howling Wolf.

For I STILL GET EXCITED, Co-

produced with renowned player/

producer savant, Chris “Kid” Andersen

at Greaseland Studios in San Jose, the

“silver-haired fox” gathered some fa-

mous special friends—including harp-

man Rick Estrin, piano/organ man Jim-

my Pugh, guitar master Chris Cain,

drummer June Core and the legendary

singer Tracy Nelson—to join in with his

own brilliant bandmates for one of the

best albums of his long career. A perfect

summer record for dancing, driving and

being young at heart!

The title track on Track 1 “I Still Get Ex-

cited” is a jumping 129 bpm with Terry

singing about the virtues of getting old but

(Continued from page 10)

(Continued on page 12)

ABSCDJ Update Page 12

he still gets excited. You can’t help but to

start patting your feet and searching for a

dance floor. Track 2 “Smooth Tyrone”

sings about a cat named Tyrone who plays

a mean saxophone but you better keep

your eye on him because he is a snake in

the grass. This Shag Traxx comes in at a

smooth 110 bpm. Track 5 “Come On

Back”, featuring Rick Estrin, has a steady

shuffle beat with strong harmonica from

Rick and saxophone from Terry. This track

sounds like it belongs in a juke joint. Track

7 “Why People Like That” with the open-

ing sax solo reminds me a little bit of

“Shoot Your Shot” by Junior Walker and

the Allstars only slower at 104 bpm. You

can increase the tempo to 110 – 112 bpm

and it should work for you.

B.B. &The Blues Shacks fronted by fe-

male singer Bonita from South Africa

are Europe’s world

class blues export.

After a big success

with a debut in

2015 people were

waiting for another

great blues album

combining jump

blues, traditional style and soul in the

mix. The wait is over with their new

release Sweet Thing containing great

duets going straight to you heart and

Rhythm & Blues tunes that will take you

out on the dancefloor. Six originals and

ten classic rare covers make this album

outstanding. Bonita is right on in the

tradition of Ann Peebles, Etta James,

Lula Reed

and other unforgettable stars of the past.

Blues and Soul from the 50’s and 60’s

are still alive and this release is another

proof.

Track 2 “Momma‘s Goin’ Dancin’ ” is a

classic shuffle blues tune at 119 bpm

that will surely get people headed to the

dance floor. Track 7 “Singing A New

Song” is a mighty fine cover of the 1970

Freddie Waters soul tune . Track 8

“Hottest Wings In Town” Bonita pro-

claims that she has them (if you know

what I mean) at 111 bpm. Track 11 is

another great cover tune. This one co-

vers the 1967 Bettye Swann hit “Make

Me Yours”.

Steven Van Zandt (born November 22,

1950) is an American

musician, songwriter,

producer, actor, and

activist who frequently

goes by the stage

names Little Ste-

ven or Miami Steve. He

is a member of Bruce

Springsteen's E Street Band, in which he

plays guitar and mandolin. He is also

known for his roles on television dramas

such as Silvio Dante on The Sopra-

nos (1999–2007) and Frank Tagliano /

Giovanni "Johnny" Henriksen

on Lilyhammer (2012–2014). Van Zandt

also has had his own solo band called Lit-

tle Steven and The Disciples of Soul, ac-

tive on and off since the 1980s.

Little Steven and The Disciples of Soul

have released their first album of new ma-

terial in twenty years with Summer Of

Socerery. It’s a full-blown, Phil Spector-

sized creation, including his 14-piece

road band with five horns and three back-

ground singers. Swelling strings are add-

ed to some tracks to further expand the

already widescreen sound. “Somebody

open the door/ I’m back to rock some

more” kicks off this hour-long musical

stroll down memory lane. Summer of Sorcery is the history of rock and soul on

one album. Each track leads up to the last

one, the title track “Summer of Sorcery”,

an eight-minute tribute to music and the

impact it has had on Steven’s life, and by

extension, ours. “I want to get lost in your

festival/I want to be transformed by your

summer of sorcery”, he sings.

Three track’s stand out to me, Track 3

“Love Again” at 115 bpm is an absolutely

glorious Southside Johnny style Jersey

shore romp which also shows that just like

us, Steven Van Zandt has his heroes too

when he offers this: “I’ve got a picture of

Brian Wilson I pray to every night” and

maybe that feel, that love of rock n roll in

its purest form never left him?

Track 5 “A World Of Our Own” at 116

bpm starts with female “sha-la-las” and

the full Spector production. This soulful,

feel-good track is a knowingly nostalgic

evocation of a more innocent era in popu-

lar culture. “Growing up, the Shirelles, the

Chiffons, the Ronettes, the Crystals and

the Shangri-Las were really important to

me,” says Little Steven, “This song is my

take on the type of song I might have writ-

ten for a Girl Group like one of those fan-

tastic acts back in the day.”

Track 7 “Soul Power Twist” has echoes

of Sam Cooke’s “We’re Having A Party

with a bouncy Gary U.S. Bonds feel. Give

the whole album a listen, you will enjoy it.

The Jersey Swamp Cats are a good-time

quartet based outta Orange, New Jer-

sey. Gerry Gladston is on keys, Don Leich

is on guitars, Larry Ghiorsi is on bass, and

Chris Reardon is

on drums. Every-

one shares the vo-

cals, and their lat-

est set, entitled “Go

Cat Go!,” blends

elements of Sun,

Imperial, Chess,

New Orleans boo-

gie, and jump-blues for s sweet, highly-

danceable mix of revved-up rockabilly

blues!

Track 2 the band’s original, “Cupcake!,”

is a neat call-and-response tale of that

“crazy little girl” who’s as irresistible as

the dessert she’s named for! On Track 3

we go on down to Cosimo’s for a bluesy

shot of Fats Domino’s “Blue Monday,”.

Track 4 ”I Don’t Mind” is a soulful shuf-

fle which contains a pleasant Sir Douglas

sound and the wind players give the song a

New Orleans touch. Track 5 “Too Tired”

is a pumping cover of the Albert Collins

song in which guitarist Don Leich does not

try to imitate the loud Collins sound but

gives it its own nasty, cutting edge. On

track 6, “Dance All Night”, the wind in-

struments re-enter this lazy shuffle with an

extremely relaxed swing and a warm pierc-

ing guitar solo. Track 8 “I Get Evil” is the

name, and rhumba’s the game on this tune

with that iconic chorus, “don’t you lie to

me,” as Don channels his inner Albert

King to add a bluesy spark.

Delbert McClinton returns with a swagger-

ing and swingin’ new album, Tall, Dark &

Handsome, on July 26 via Hot Shot Rec-

ords/Thirty Tigers. Featuring 14 new, orig-

(Continued from page 11)

ABSCDJ Update Page 13

inal new songs -

all written or co-

written by Del-

bert - the album

dives deep into

the blues, Amer-

icana and be-

yond, bursting

with horns, fiddle, accordion, blazing gui-

tar work, back-up singers and McClinton’s

charismatic rasp, proving Lyle Lovett’s

claim that “if we could all sing like we

want to, we’d all sound like Delbert

McClinton.”

Delbert McClinton describes his latest

album “kind of a salute to Texas blues, the

music I grew up on.” “Music now is just

so boring to me,” McClinton says. “It’s so

hard to find something new that I like.

That’s why I love this band. We’ve had so

much success in making music together.”

As with his 2017 effort Prick of the Lit-

ter, the singer/songwriter/harmonica wiz-

ard shifts deftly between styles, smoothly

segueing from straight-up blues to swing,

country and jazz with the confidence of a

master. It’s not a stretch to say that

McClinton, at age 78, is making the best

music of his career. McClinton finds him-

self still in demand and with a busier cal-

endar than he had three decades ago. “I

remember several years back, when I was

talking with this girl I went to high school

with,” McClinton recounts. “She said, ‘Are

you still going to be doing this in your

60s?’ I guess I’ve gone past that. But this

is the best time of my life for me now.”

Tall, Dark & Handsome features Del-

bert’s band the Self-Made Men + Dana:

Dana Robbins (saxophone), Jack Bruno

(drums), Mike Joyce (bass), Bob Britt

(guitar), James Pennebaker (guitar), Kevin

McKendree (keyboards), Dennis Wage

(keyboards). It’s evident from the first

downbeat that McClinton and company

had a blast making the record, shining a

raucous light on the swinging, jazzy vir-

tues of Texas blues.

Track 1 “Mr. Smith” is a joyous shuffle

with a swinging horn section, great key-

boards and Dana Robbins wailing on an

extended sax solo. This is my favorite

track, so far. Track 2 “If I Hock My Gui-

tar” is sly and self-deprecating, the story of

a down n’ out axe-man who weighs his

craft with a visit to the pawn shop. Track

7 “Loud Mouth” is another great shuffle

tune, featuring some barrelhouse piano

from Kevin McKendree, which should do

very well in the clubs. Track 8 “Down In

The Mouth” is another good shuffle tune,

however at 102 bpm will need a tempo

adjustment.

I Count The Tears is the latest CD from

Patman and Robin Records. Track 1 is an

excellent original tune from the talented

Rick Strickland

titled “Dance

With Me”,

possibly his

best effort

since

“Something

Smooth”. Lesa

Hudson has

new tune

“Sugar Boo”

on Track 7 with great vocals and nice beat.

This is sure to be a hit with her fan base.

Dana Jones and the Bruce Caldwell Project

have the title track on Track 8 with “I

Count The Tears,” (a contemporary cover

of the Drifters hit from 1961 with Ben E

King singing lead). This track is already

climbing all of the various Beach Music

charts.

Track 9 “Loving My Blues Away” has a

nice shuffle beat at 118 bpm with Sylvia

Johns Ritchie’s bluesy vocals and great

piano solo. Sylvia Johns Ritchie has

worked for the past 20 plus years in the

Mississippi-Louisiana area and now is

sharing her talent with the Carolina

Coast! A native Carolina girl, Sylvia has

captured the Carolina Shaggin’ Blues with

this effort, one

of my favorite

tracks on this

CD.

There have

been a lot of

changes with

the various

beach bands lately. One of the changes is

the formation of a brand new band named

Cat5 Band (presumably will blow you

away like a category 5 hurricane).

This band consists of Cammy Award win-

ning artist Jerry Thomas West, vocalist and

guitarist for 24 years with the Band of Oz

and the 80s Rock Band SugarCreek. Jerry

and his amazing vocals are best known for

hits “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” and

“Build Me Up”. Jerry Has won multiple

Cammy Awards including “Vocalist of the

Year” and “Instrumentalist of the Year”.

2014 CBMA Instrumentalist of the Year

Camron Dudley on vocals, drums and per-

cussion. Camron was formally with the

band Jim Quick and Coastline. He attend-

ed college at Elon University studying

Jazz. Camron is well known for his amaz-

ing Drum Solos performed nightly and is a

“first call” session drummer for the North

Carolina Recording Scene, having record-

ed 100 plus songs for various artists.

Glen Tippett, vocalist, multi-

instrumentalist, has won multiple Cammy

Awards during his tenure of 16 years with

Jim Quick and Coastline including two

Instrumentalists of the Year awards in

2008 and 2015. He sang the lead vocals on

the hit song remake of “Something Like

Olivia”.

Hugh Blanton, vocals, bass guitar, is a

multiple Cammy Award winning artist.

Hugh was an original member of the En-

tertainers, and The Breeze Band, and the

recipient of Song of the year with the

Breeze Band and Instrumentalist of the

Year in 2017 during his stint with Jim

Quick and Coastline.

Tim Sidden Vocals, Keyboards, Harmoni-

ca. Tim Performed with the Band Hip

Pocket for the past 4+ years. In 2018 he

released the song “Carolina Queen” which

went number “1” in the beach music

world. Tim’s credits include a 14 year stint

at the world famous Carolina Opry in Myr-

tle Beach S.C. as well as touring with na-

tional 90’s “hit makers” Rhett Akins,

Daryle Singletary, John “Bo Duke”

Schneider, T. Graham Brown, Tom “Luke

Duke’ Wopat, Jimmy Fortune, Grayson

Hughes and many others.

The Cat5 Band’s first release is “Slow

Steady Groove”. At 128 bpm it is not nec-

essarily “slow”, but it is a “steady groove”

with a driving percussion beat and some

outstanding keyboard and saxophone

work. This tune is certain to make a rapid

climb up the beach music charts. Look for

it on an upcoming KHP compilation to be

released in the near future.
