That was an outstanding revelation ogibowt, never heard of Sister Tharpe before! Smokestack Lightning was the recommendation. Howlin Wolf classic, Willie Dixon gets no recognition?!
A much needed Black Music thread.

though out my childhood and into my early teens, the music I heard at home was my father,s...god rest his soul...so called ' race music"....I thought he was a cool dude, a grown up white guy listening to Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley. Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Laverne Baker...……...so I came about my love for black music......so while teeny bopper friends were listening to the Beatles, I sought out Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett and Etta James among dozens of others...……...thanks dad...rest in peace
You are very lucky. I grew up in a conservative Christian home. Only thing I was allowed to listen to was "appropriate Christian music" and some country music. Needless to say I left home at 17.
IV....just a side note... Sister Rosetta Tharpe was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, last year......well over due
When Michael Rappaport guest hosts on the WUS, I listen. He's crazy and he calls His Booeyness a big toothed gorilla, but he makes pov's that are spot on. He said, hip hop became popular due to governments cutting musical instrumentation from public schools. That's part of the story.

"I actually think the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is an utter and complete load of bollocks, to be honest with you.
"It's run by a bunch of sanctimonious bloody Americans who wouldn't know rock and roll if it hit them in the face. They need to stop taking Prozac and start drinking fucking beer."

Oh wow slow down Minormajor! Break me in gradually.
I'll listen to it again with the volume turned down a notch, and try hard again to comprehend the lyrics lol.
On the other hand, the guitar sound is great and reminds me a little of the acid-rock back in another era.
I'm trying to adapt!!
This reminds me I was just a young teenager beginning to get into music back then.
Yeah its a punch in the face isn't it lol. Look up Gojira Stranded might be easier for you
Neil Young also rebelled against his father's ideals. I see similarities there lol.
They were one of my favorites during my high school years!
Remember "White Room"?
In my case it's more a rebuke lol. I still talk to my mom but my dad nah. Yep I know BB Kings stuff. His riffs are string snappers lol.
Love White Room but it's not a Willie Dixon derived song. Their cover of Dixon's Spoonful is awesome, they paid their royalties.
