Bluesman boogies
with great new album
By TODD BLACKMON
Arts & Entertainment Editor of THE BATTALION
Pinetop Perkins
"Pinetop's Boogie Woogie"
Antone s Records
"When Adam and Eve first saw each other,
that's when the blues started. No matter what any
body says, it comes down to the same thing: a man, a
woman, and a broken heart and a broken name- You
know what I mean?"
-John Lee Hooker
Judging from Pinetop Perkins' new album,
"Pinetop^ Boogie Woogie," I think he would
agree with Mr. Hooker's statement, because the
blues are exactly what Pinetop delivers.
You will not hear any song from this album on
the radio. These songs surpass the grade of top-
forty fluff that seems to spew from today's stere
os. Simply put, "Pinetop's Boogie Woogie" is
blues at its finest.
I believe this album should have been made at
least 30 years ago. To be honest, it would have
been better appreciated then, simply because the
blues were more popular.
This is a man who has played with Robert
Nighthawk, Sonny Boy Williamson and the leg
endary Muddy Waters — people who redefined
the blues.
Therefore, I guess it's safe to say Pinetop has
the background to sing the blues properly. He
began performing as a teenager in 1913, but his
voice still has that commanding edge needed to
dominate the songs. He is one of tne last of the
great bluesmen, as the title track proves.
This album presents a stripped-down, no-non
sense approacn to what blues music should be.
There are no special effects, synthesizers or drum
machines, just the simple, heart-felt music you
would expect from the Mississippi Delta.
That is not to say this album is filled with over
ly dramatic songs wallowing in self-pity. On the
Pinetop Perkins defines the blues on his newaltai
contrary, some of these songs are rather upbeat
"■ * " ‘ " ’ Sneak'
'Look on Yonder Wall" and "High Heel
ers" bounce along rapidly and really highlight
Pinetop's outstanoing piano playing.
"Pinetop's Boogie Woogie" also has someol
the finest harmonica playing I've ever listened to
James Wilson and Kim Cotton hammer it out on
songs like "Sunny Road Blues" and "You Don't
Have to Go."
I have nothing negative to say about this a!
;iscon-
of the
pick for you, try
"Pinetop's Boogie-Woogie." It will fit like anofl
sweater that's been left in the closet for thepastii
years or so.
Ensemble brings Russia to Texas AS.
By TODD BLACKMON
Arts & Entertainment Editor of THE BATTALION
The Incomparable Red Star Red Army Chorus
and Dance Ensemble brought more than just musical
talent to Rudder Auditorium Saturday night — they
brought the gift of their Russian culture.
The two-and-a-half hour show included a choir,
orchestra and dance troupe, and the groups com-
binyd their talents to create a truly enjoyable show.
The chorus's rendition of various Russian songs
fascinated me. There was no fixed plot to the perfor
mance, just a sequence of various folk songs. Several
different soloists led the choir through these old sto
ries of "Mother Russia."
The lyrics were in Russian, but I only partly wish
I had understood the words. The songs were beauti
ful, and I was spellbound by the charming melodies
that were well-supported by the orchestra. I would
have loved to understand the narrative within the
songs, but the sound of the Russian language made
?ar
the performances special. To have such ask
translated into English would have spoiled itcu
pletely.
The dance troupe appeared in several off
songs, and I was amazed at their graceful jumpsi
spins. The outstanding choreography of the da
troup was highlighted by a mock swordfightin
song, "Cossacks' Dance." Their bright, colorfulc
tumes lit up the stage and contrasted with the
uniforms the choir and orchestra wore.
The Texas A&M Singing Cadets joined thedwi
in singing the National Anthem to open the sh(
They also closed the performance together sinp
"God Bless America."
I believe there is not an American performan
group comparable to the Red Army Chorusas
Dance Ensemble. That is not to say it was necess:
ly better than musicals originating from New fs
or Los Angeles. It's just that the Russian
brought the pride of their Russian heritage, wlf
was indeed a rare treat.
