Babes and Rickys Inn DocumentaryB abe's and Ricky's Inn, Award
winning blues documentary produced and directed by Ramin Niami,
chronicles the last days of one of the most unique and vibrant
blues clubs in the world. For over fifty years, Laura Mae "Mama"
Gross, an African Americanwoman from Mississippi, brought musicians
together, regardless of race,age, or gender, in a place where only
the music mattered. The club wasoriginally located on legendary
Central Avenue in South Central LA. "Mama" created a place where
people such as John Lee Hooker, B.B.King, Albert King and others
shared the stage with newcomers in an open,creative, and safe
environment. The film shows many musicians at theirhomes and on
stage. They share their life experiences, their music andtheir
memories of "Mama." She acted as a teacher of the blues who'scharm
and forceful character served as the reason why Babe's and
Ricky'sInn became one of the most successful clubs in the world.
The film features original music by some of the most important
bluesartists alive and showcases some of the most unique blues
clubs in LA.Stunning guitar performances and personal stories about
the hard blueslife come together in a film about what it means to
devote your life to music. What is remarkable about Babe's and
Ricky's Inn isthat it attracted generations of young people who
listened, learned, and enjoyed. Official Movie Trailer at YouTube:

WAITING ONDAYLIGHTBart WalkerRuf Records
Not only did Bart Walkerwin the Gibson BestGuitarist award at
the2012 International BluesChallenge in Memphis,his performance
drewthe attention of ThomasRuf, of Ruf Records.
Recognizing his talent, Ruf immediately signed Walker to
arecording contract, and paired him with producer Jim Gaines
tocreate this powerful album, Waiting on Daylight. Hes been playing
the guitar since the age of six, mastering itand sharpening his
blues skills along the way. Among the artistswho influenced him, he
cites SRV, Albert King, Buddy Guy, DuaneAllman, Dereck Trucks and
Warren Haynes. Hes also got rootsin bluegrass, rock, country and
other styles of music. Despitewinning a scholarship to Vanderbilt
University in operatic signing,his love of the blues pulled him
down a different path. If youve ever wondered whether a vocalist
with classic operatictraining can transition successfully to a
blues singer, heres youranswer. Mr. Walkers vocal style is a
perfect match for his music. He has an agenda that is clear from
his performance on thisalbum. In his own words, the blues is where
the heart of allthe music I love lies, and Im hoping Waiting on
Daylight canlead people who love rock and songwriting back into the
blues.For years its been my dream that I can play a role in making
theblues popular again. All eleven songs on the cd are winners,
demonstrating Walker'svaried expertise in guitar techniques, from
powerful blues-rocksolos to finger picking, slide, and moving
rhythms, closing with apleasant surprise a delicate,
keyboard/guitar interpretation ofthe Allman Brothers classic
Whipping Post. With the airplay that the album is getting, Bart
Walker stands agood chance of bringing his dream to reality. ~

CD Reviews.... IF THE RIVER WAS WHISKEYSpin DoctorsRuf
RecordsAnother winner from RufRecords. Legendary alt-rock stars,
the SpinDoctors, have returned totheir blues roots with thissincere
contribution tothe genre. With theirpoetic lyrics andengaging
rhythms, theypresent us with a multi-course menu of bluestracks
that has clearly been carefully crafted, not just slappedtogether
and served up like a fast-food drive-through meal. While pushing
the edges of tradition, they maintain a firmstance in the strong
blues core of the album. Part of keeping theblues alive is letting
it grow out into new corners of the mind,touching on the common
experiences that resonate with acontemporary audience, yet
maintaining that familiar essencethat rings true as the blues. You
can trust this album to rouseyou up and bring you on home. The
lyrics are dead honest, ironic and amusing. Take a look atthe video
for If the River Was Whiskey on the Ruf Recordswebsite, and youll
know what I mean. But beware once youhear that title track, with
its Hound Dog Taylor uncercurrent,its not going to leave your head.
The Drop echoes the poly-rhythmic roots of the blues in
itssyncopated rhythm, behind the lyrics flowing from
life-learnedexperience Its not the fall that kills you, but that
suddenstop. For myself, Id buy the album just to hear pterodactyl
beingrhymed with fractal. Id be delighted to get If its a day
goneby, then its three hundred and sixty-five, on top of that,
backedup by world-class instrumentals. With Chris Baron, vocals,
Erick Schenkman on guitar, AaronComes on drums, and Mark White on
bass, there are plenty ofinteresting musical moments to catch your
attention and makethis an album worth multiple re-plays. ~ DM
