This show features a compilation released by Rounder Records in 1998 called Night Train: Classic Railroad Songs. Trains are extraordinary creations that helped shape the modern world, but they seem like pretty arbitrary subjects when it comes to music. And yet, there are so many great songs about trains - midnight trains to somewhere, love trains, crazy trains, long trains, fast trains ... With train songs come stories of journeys, freedom, and destinations real and imagined. There is an art to the train song, one that feels lost today. https://playlist.citr.ca/podcasting/audio/2024/Code-Blue-49793-165467-May-04-15-00-00.mp3 Sat, 27 Apr 2024 15:00:00 -0700 featuring new music from al lerman, robert lefty preacher sampson, scott h biram and more.... featuring new music from al lerman, robert lefty preacher sampson, scott h biram and more.... featuring new music from al lerman, robert lefty preacher sampson, scott h biram and more.... https://playlist.citr.ca/podcasting/audio/2024/Code-Blue-49770-165444-April-27-15-00-00.mp3 Sat, 20 Apr 2024 14:59:29 -0700 A veritable cornucopia of new platters served up hot off the griddle, bringing you tasty tunes from both sides of the 49th parallel.

Spanning 15 volumes while covering pretty much the entire history of the genre, it was originally released in the early 1990s, and is out of print now. Rhino went all out in this endeavour and many of the important tracks in this series were seeing their first issuance in the compilation format while others were reissued for the first time since the advent of the 78-rpm phonograph record. This show brings you Vol 1: Urban Blues and Vol 5: Jump Blues Classics. The artists run the gamut from the very familiar like Otis Rush and Charles Brown to the relatively obscure like Red Prysock, Ann Cole and Bullmoose Jackson.

As Allmusic.com puts it: Primarily a piano- and horn-driven style, New Orleans R&B is the next step over from its more bluesier practitioners. There's a cheerful good-naturedness to the style that infuses the music with a good-time feel, no matter how somber the lyrical text. The music itself uses a distinctively "lazy" feel, with all of its somewhat complex rhythms falling just a hair behind the beat, making for what is known as "the sway." The vocals can run the full emotional gamut, from laid-back crooning to full-throated gospel shouting, while the horn lines provide a perfect droning backdrop. Enlivened by Caribbean rhythms, an unrelenting party atmosphere, and the distinctive "second-line" strut of the Dixieland music so indigenous to the area, there's nothing quite as intoxicating as the sound of Crescent City r&b.
