Cerys on 6

[Lat-Literal]

Does 'Ooh Mama Ooh' by Moby Grape count - 60s San Fran outfit, Lat. Personally my favourite use of 'ooh' (maybe it's ohhhh) at the moment and apologies for my continued present fascination with 'Car Wheels on a Gravel Road' is in 'Right in Time' by LW.

That's brilliant and the earliest so far with a name of sorts. I just feel that there must be something by Howlin' Wolf or Chuck Berry or similar that started it. Or maybe not!

Your generous comments on Jeff Buckley are noted and I will listen to the programme. I've also got the second part of the South Americans on Saturday Classics to hear.

I recognise the plaudits all round for LW and "Car Wheels....." and am trying but not getting it at present unfortunately. I'm sure it is me who is wrong which worries me.

I really enjoyed that one, Lat - now that you've reminded me I meant to go look out part 1 - hope it's still up there.

If you can tolerate it, I've done a review of that one.

I now have several excellent radio programmes to listen to, including this one. Anyone might have thought this was a radio forum rather than Friends of YT. Anyway, as Cerys plays rock n roll, blues etc as well as WM, here's my quiz of the week. Can we please have a song or tune in any genre released prior to 1980 that has the title - or a partial lyric - Something, Someone's Name, Ooh". It's the positioning of the "ooh" that matters. Smokey Robinson's "Ooh Baby Baby" doesn't count, wonderful though that record happens to be.

Thanks!

OOH Lat...

and, there may need to be a ruling on this one...

What a fantastic link the first one is. A brilliant record and a great film. I'm beginning to think GT that you produce all of the visual aspects of your links. You have an uncanny knack with it. Whether it absolutely qualifies I'm not sure because the "ooh" suffix for the first name is really an "ooh" prefix for the second name. However, it's a clever selection. The second link with an attractive pastel green is on a par with JC's Moby Grape. But I still need a Blind Lemon Jefferson with a Jack O'Diamonds-Ooh or a Fats Waller with a Look A There Ain't She Pretty, That Little Maisie Ooh. Or gospel folk in the mists of time. His Eye is on the Sparrow, Jack Ooh. Yes, it's not at all easy this one but you get the picture!

Lat, I give you the Old Tyme Kozmic Trio probably from, or in, Alaska with an elegant homage to a certain Mr D. Ellington:

This isn't close, but

Toodle-uma-luma-luma

Toodle-aye-ay

is too good not to include?

The man on the left in the first clip is like the new Daevid Allen of Gong.

I'm very impressed by your investigations.

The Skip James inspired Cameroonian Blick Bassy guitarist is on Cerys after 11 this morning.

Many thanks for the tips, JC.

I need to start listening to Cerys again regularly.

Cerys on 6 is the new Wo3

Yes, I am now with Cerys from the week before last and I agree that the music selections are very good.

More on this post shortly.

Ian Brennan was on talking about his book 'How Music Dies (or Lives): Field Recording and the Battle for Democracy in the Arts'. He recorded the Malawi Mouse Boys but also talked of his project, also in Malawi, the Zomba Prison Project and also his recordings in Rwanda with the Good Ones.

Cerys also played this one by Michael Coleman.

Well, I finally got to the edition of Cerys with Steve Berkowitz. A good interviewee I thought. He also has a wonderful surname for all fans of Woody Allen's moose sketch.

The discussion about Jeff Buckley was interesting. Obviously they are spot on about his "ingestion" of diverse influences and his ability to portray them in his own way. To be more specific, I reckon that a key word is "inflection". There was something slightly uncanny about his ability to pick up on the delivery of other vocalists from Billie Holiday to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The track they played which demonstrated that to the full was the Morrissey-esque "The Boy With The Thorn in His Side".

One reason why it was effective rather than mere pastiche or karaoke was that Jeff's voice was of itself so distinctive. Rationally, I think one would expect such techniques to be in those whose voices are not especially distinct so, yes, there was something quite innovative about his approach. The new album is a welcome addition for filling in the historical gaps although versions of some of the material has been released on other CDs like "Live at Sin-e". To my mind, though, his strengths were stronger with a fuller production and - so people say - in a live setting while the demo stuff is understandably variable in quality because it occupies a midway sort of position.

Cerys has a good programme there. I like her genuine enthusiasm, the mix of music and wide ranging interviews and the fact that she chooses her records. The music selection is difficult to fault. Dylan's "Pretty Saro", the Ibrahim Maalouf record, the Ali Farka Toure tracks, the Grant Green and the Johnny Wells and more........there was a lot to enjoy and in different ways. I thought her writer guest was good too in their discussion about loneliness. The Warhol quotes could almost have been a precursor for "The Battle for Democracy in the Arts'" which, JC, you refer to in your latest post. But I haven't heard the edition in which there is a discussion about that subject yet.

Really enjoyable interview on Cerys this morning with author Richard Stokes who talked about his new book 'The Penguin Book of English Song' which anthologises the work of 100 English poets who have inspired a host of different composers. He was on a bit after 10.30 news...interesting stuff.

Cerys had an interview with Big lovable Neily on the show yesterday morning talking about his new record 'Earth'.

Bit of a World Music focus on Cerys today with Chris Pedley talking about his 'Beating Heart - Malawi' project which takes Hugh Tracey's audio archive and brings it into the 21st Century. Also in there this morning is Senegalese Kora player Diabel Cissoko live in session.
