For #musicwomenwednesday , I want to highlight Gladys Bentley, an American #blues singer, #pianist, and entertainer during the Harlem Renaissance.
I drew and foiled this #portrait as a part of a series of 18 #portraits that I #donated to the SF LGBT Center last year, highlighting #lgbtq icons from past and present.
BTW if you posted vinyl collection pics here with the #vinyl hashtag and maybe #music and whatever genre it is (like #blues#jazz etc), you could find some people, you have a good collection. For streaming links to go with vinyl pics I think YT links are preferred here to Spot, but whatever
there are def some dope musics posted here. You can actually follow hashtags too which is fun
I love the blues and jazz ,but I'm too poor to pay for those concerts, Y'all are very fortunate,I tried to see some of my favorites,just can't go out and pay 600 to 700 dollar ticket to pay,I'm good I'll catch it on video #jazz#blues#music
'Ten Dollar Man' is a wildly underrated ZZ Top song. The guitar playing, the stops, it's fucking bonkers. You can REALLY hear how they influenced Curt Kirkwood (of the Meat Puppets) on this one, especially for the Puppets' Up on the Sun era stuff.
Seriously heard someone saying they don't listen to many black artists, because they aren't really into rap. Bitch please, feel free to share songs from Black artists from any genre. Here is one of my favorites, if you like this song please check out her other work:
Robert Johnson was born on this day in 1911 in Hazlehurst, Mississippi. His landmark recordings in 1936 and 1937 display a combination of singing, guitar skills, and songwriting talent that has influenced later generations of musicians. Although his recording career spanned only seven months, he is recognized as a master of the blues, particularly the Delta blues style, and as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century.
I've had these three great lofi rough (kinda Bob Dylany?) blues-rockish songs by this mysterious Canadian project The Planks in my Bandcamp wishlist forever, and I can find absolutely nothing about the band. The three songs are all from 2018, and I dig em all. A long shot, but anyone know anything about em?
Here's the weekly #OPM digest ! A one-stop guide to #music selections from 8 Fediverse #Musicians . It's a great place to get some #BandcampFriday selections, or maybe find a new favorite artist.
As always, you can find a permanent archive of these, with slightly longer writeups, at my blog. The permalink for this week's is here:
Notable guitarist Randy Resnick (not even going to try to summarize his musical history, but a quick search will reveal a considerable pedigree) offers up exactly what it says on the tin: an eclectic and quirky mix of short tunes, both instrumentals and songs, in a variety of genres. #Jazz, #blues, #rock and #funk are all name-checked and that covers most of it, but there’s lot of subtlety, and incredible quality, here.
New release, strictly Rock ‘n Blues I’ve recorded a bunch of tracks over the past several years and thought it would be good to start prioritizing sales at a reasonable price over streaming. There’s a similar album on Apple Music now and soon on Spotify. I’ll see what works best.
