SwiftKey Keyboard Emoji v5 3 3 67 All Version
So despite spending all day out at Jazz Fest blogging for them, I still feel the need to do a little something on my own blog? Why would I do this when I could be seeing Budos Band, Sharon Jones, Andre Williams, Brownout, or Grupo Fantasma right now? For one, Im sick of trying to make the decision about which of those to go to. For two, Ive got some really hot stuff burning a hole in this blogs pocket. Or something. And oddly enough, theyre all localish.
If you notice the song titles and then the writing credits, these are Fats Domino songs were talking about, but done up in a much different way. For those of you who arent familiar with him, Dave Bartholomew is sung as the unsung hero of New Orleans R&B. The guy produced or played on half of all those big numbers you know, and yet (and I only use this as an example) my college history of rock & roll teacher said he never released his own material. Of course I was a little shit and corrected him, and Ive actually linked him to my blog once so Prof. Charry, heres your proof, though "The Monkey" would be better, more popular proof. I think Daves gotten a little more come-uppance in years past, but his stake in this citys history will likely never be properly recognized.
These are instrumentals and way further into jazz territory than the R&B originals. But when you listen to Im Walkin here, did you ever think Fats Domino could sound so baaaad?
Im Walkin
Going to the River is a little more slow and groovy with some funky keyboards thrown in. Its deservedly the B-Side but a good track nonetheless
Going to the River
