Jimi Hendrix - Red House

In the middle of the move, we throw out a Sunday Classics.

"Red House" is a song written by Jimi Hendrix and originally recorded by The Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1966. The song, a slow twelve-bar blues, "is one of the most traditional in sound and form of all his official recordings". It was developed during his pre-Experience days while Hendrix was performing in Greenwich Village and was inspired by earlier blues songs. Hendrix recorded several studio and live versions during his career; later, "Red House" has been recorded by a variety of blues and other artists.

The theme of "Red House" is "as old as the blues itself—the singer's woman doesn't love him any more and has moved". According to Noel Redding, Hendrix told him "the song was written about his old high school girlfriend Betty Jean Morgan", although her house was reportedly brown. It has been suggested that Linda Keith's (who brought Hendrix to the attention of Chas Chandler) friend's New York apartment with "the red velvet walls and decor influenced Jimi's writing". However, for Billy Cox "As far as I know, 'Red House' didn't have any significance in reference to a particular person, place or thing. It was just a blues number that Jimi put together".

Led Zeppelin - Travelling Riverside Blues

This weekend moves Tune Of The Day for a new residents, so we will not do anything advanced in music way during this time, we hope that you guys have a full understanding about this, we will be back in full force at some point next week, during the time you get short posts with "a move" theme!

"Travelling Riverside Blues," sometimes called "Mudbone" or "Mud Bone," is a blues song written and recorded in Dallas, Texas by the bluesman Robert Johnson. Johnson's June 20, 1937.

The song is well known for the lyrics:

"I want you to squeeze my lemon
until the juice runs down my leg."

English rock band Led Zeppelin's version of this song was recorded at the BBC studios in Aeolian Hall on June 24, 1969. Jimmy Page dubbed extra guitar tracks onto the track (the main track being played on a 12-string electric guitar, possibly the same one used on the track "Thank You").

It is quite different from the original, and it is more a tribute to Robert Johnson than a straight cover.

"Travelling Riverside Blues" can be found on the Led Zeppelin BBC Sessions album, and on the expanded Coda album from The Complete Studio Recordings box set. A promotional video clip was also released in 1990, with outtake footage from the band's 1976 concert film, The Song Remains the Same inter-spliced with other footage from the band's archive. The clip also features a railroad montage, and underwater shots of the Mississippi River.

Graveyard - Buying Truth (Tack Och Förlåt)

From Gothenburg comes the band Graveyard that with their second release "Hisingen Blues" captured first place on my top 10 list of the best album of 2011 with a classic retro album, an album that really will live long. Really nice beats spiced with a passion for the musical. "Hisingen Blues" has been tossed around in the top layer during most of the year and rooted down really well. A worthy winner in my book.

Clutch - The Mob Goes Wild

Last weekend, did Clutch visited Stockholm for a gig at Klubben. Support band that night was Kamchatka, that we had yesterday at Tune Of The Day! Clutch is constantly on tour, visiting Sweden regularly. I have seen them a couple of times already. Clutch is a band that I really think delivers quality live, basically every time.

Ok, even this evening became a really good, with a nice mix between the songs, oh yes, they did the same deal as before regarding to the setlist for the evening, ie, that a band member chooses which songs to be played and then they play them, so for a concert visitors, every gig will becomes a surprise. During the Scandinavian dates, Clutch get some injection of keyboardist Per Wiberg (ex Opeth ) who really spices up the music and it sounds amazing live. One thing I have thought about in terms of the band and when they play live, where is the communication? It looks like they live in their own bubble. Communication must take place through the music, for Christ's sake, they are so tight in live.

Here is a few photos:

Soundcheck

From behind, Per Wiberg to the right

The band is from Germantown, Maryland in the States. They have been playing together since the early 1990s. Each Clutch album is marked by a distinct and cohesive sound dubbed the ultimate jam band. The musical style of the band has migrated from heavy metal and hardcore punk to hard rock. The band has also integrated funk influences into their rock sound. Strong blues influences have also become prominent in the releases of the later years as vocalist/guitarist Neil Fallon notes: "We've been really conscious of the blues over the last couple of years, and you have to admit that the blues really is the source of all rock and roll. I think it's important to go to the source to find that inspiration."

Todays tune "The Mob Goes Wild" is taken from the sixth full-length studio album "Blast Tyrant", released in 2004, and contains 15 tracks. The unabridged title of the album is Blast Tyrant's Atlas of the Invisible World Including Illustrations of Strange Beasts And Phantoms.

A reissue of the album was released on May 10, 2011 through Clutch's own label Weathermaker Music. The reissue contains all of the original recordings from Blast Tyrant, along with a second bonus disc entitled "Basket of Eggs." The second disc contains 10 songs: acoustic versions of "Tight Like That", "Basket of Eggs", "The Regulator", and "Drink to the Dead" as well as some unreleased material. The album will also be released on Vinyl, December 13th (See more info below)

Speaking about the album, Corey Taylor (the lead vocalist of Slipknot) said "Blast Tyrant is one of the best records I've ever heard. Every track is gold- at least to me".



Weathermaker Music will release the long awaited deluxe, double vinyl edition of Clutch's classic 2004 opus "Blast Tyrant" on November 29th via Indiemerchstore.com. Those pre-ordering the 181 gram vinyl package from the site prior to November 21st will also receive the limited edition Clutch Winter Tyrant Beanie and 24" die cut logo snowboard sticker!

A must have thing! I wish this for christmas :-)

The double vinyl package will also be available at North American retail outlets prior to the holidays. On December 13th, Weathermaker Music will release to Clutch friendly retailers, a limited amount of Blast Tyrant vinyl which will include an exclusive 7" picture disc, of which only the Clutch band members know the content! Look for a special announcement when the band returns from their European tour.

In addition to their already scheduled holiday shows, Clutch have added two shows in Austin, Texas on December 17th and December 18th. The show on the 17th will be at the brand new Emo's East and the show the following night will be a very intimate show with Clutch playing at the Emo's Inside Room.

Johnny Cash - Ain't No Grave

Johnny Cash was one of the most imposing and influential figures in post-World War II country music. With his deep, resonant baritone and spare, percussive guitar, he had a basic, distinctive sound.

Health problems plagued Cash throughout the '90s and into the 2000s, but he continued to record with Rubin; their fourth collaboration, American IV: The Man Comes Around, was released in late 2002. The following year, the Mark Romanek-directed video for his cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" garnered considerable acclaim and media attention, culminating in an unexpected nomination for video of the year at the MTV Video Music Awards. Not long after the video sparked numerous stories, his beloved wife June Carter Cash died on May 15, 2003, of complications following heart surgery. Four months later, Johnny died of complications from diabetes in Nashville, TN. He was 71.

Five months later, the compilation Legend of Johnny Cash became a Top Ten hit. In 2006 Lost Highway released the next-to-last installment of Cash's legendary "American" recordings, American V: A Hundred Highways, from the late singer's last sessions with collaborator Rick Rubin. American VI: Ain't No Grave is the final installment in the collaboration between Cash and Rick Rubin, Released for the occasion of Johnny Cash's 78th birthday, that began with 1994’s American Recordings. These ten songs were cut during the same sessions for American V: A Hundred Highways. Guitarists Mike Campbell, Matt Sweeney, Smokey Hormel, and Benmont Tench on keyboards were present, as were other musicians. The song selection is rooted in the Americana, folk, country, and gospel traditions. Ain't No Grave would be the last album released under Cash’s name. It is not only a compelling contribution to his legacy, but an offering that closes the historic American Recordings series with the same stamp of quality that began it.

Todays tune "Ain't No Grave" is taken from "American VI: Ain't No Grave", released February 23, 2010.



Cash didn't sound like Nashville, nor did he sound like honky tonk or rock & roll.
