Music Reviews: Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach, plus Memphis Slim, New Earth Farmers, and an Anthology of Seminal Folk

The great songwriter Burt Bacharach, who teamed up most famously with lyricist Hal David, also worked for nearly three decades with Elvis Costello.

LECTURE 13: THE STONES: No discussion of British Blues would be complete without at least one track by the legendary band John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers. Founded in 1963 by British bluesman John Mayall (1933- ), the band was renowned for introducing a number of legendary rock musicians to the world, including Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, and… well, the list goes on, believe it or not. Now in his eighties, Mayall is still an active musician in the UK, and remains full of passion, energy, excitement and enthusiasm. He performs frequently, and is revered by Blues enthusiasts on both sides of the Atlantic. Over the years, Mayall tended to avoid music experimentation and pop songs, and took pride in staying true to the authentic Chicago electric blues sounds pioneered by Muddy Waters and others. Here’s an instrumental tune by John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers from 1966 titled “Steppin’ Out,” originally performed by legendary American bluesman Memphis Slim seven years earlier.

Memphis Slim (All Kinds Of Blues)
Cara: Frankie And Johnny Boogie
Bill: Mother Earth
There were some funny double-entendre songs on here (listen to churnin’ man blues) - but I liked the instrumentals best, his piano playing is fab. Also, the sentiment is Mother Earth: ...but I don’t care how great you are, and I don’t care what you’re worth...because when it all ends up, you know, you’ve got to go back to mother earth...
