Topic: 2012 Tefteller Blues Images Calendar

[CF]

Here's the graphic for the upcoming 2012 Tefteller Blues Images Calendar. Fairly surprised Clapton is being used as a selling point.

If it piques the interest of those who otherwise would't be interested in pre-war blues, prehaps it's a good thing.  Popular movies got me interested in classical music, and Bob Dylan was the spark that led to my interest in pre-war blues.  Start with what's accessible and work from there.

I have no problem with Clapton being referenced, I hope Tefteller sells a million of the things, just didn't see it coming.
Yeah a new Lane Hardin track is a selling point for me, based on how great his two 1935 tracks are.
The last two Blind Joel Taggart tracks are recent discoveries I think [checking against 4th edition B&GR (Dixon & Godrich] & there's info about their discovery & more over at the Pre-War Blues thread at the Blindman Blues Forums.

There's a big article about Taggart in the 2nd Annual Frog thing, and Precious Lord is on the CD that comes with that, too (although the calendar will be a lot cheaper!). I believe it's a post-war recording.

Yeah, it's a vanity test pressing from the late '40s, found in a junk store on Maxwell Street several years ago, I think. Sadly, it's very beaten up, judging from the track on the Frog CD.

Just got my calendar the other day. First off the Lane Hardin track is a killer, cut circa 1948. It was Steve LaVere who found it in Los Angeles some years back. BTW Hardin is featured in the newest Blues & Rhythm magazine - issue #261. The Taggart tracks are from the same year. They're acetates that were discovered in the Maxwell Street Market and subsequently put up on ebay where Tefteller purchased it. Apparently the record was pretty battered but Richard Nevins has done a fine remastering job. As usual the graphics are superb.

I'll be interviewing Tefteller for my Sept. 11th show and playing tracks from the CD. I'll make sure to post a link to the interview in the forum.

I always look forward to your conversations with Mr. Tefteller Jeff, another wonderful show . . . & the new tracks are great, strong performances across the board. How lucky are we pre-war blues fans in the 21st century?

I enjoyed hearing the Taggart sides and was surprised to see how affable Tefteller was.

This was the first time I'd listened to the show... I've been on the sundayblues website but I can't figure out where to listen to the previous editions (if they're archived) can someone help out

[uncle bud]

Great show, Jeff. Both the Lane Hardin and Blind Joe Taggart tunes are very exciting to hear. Not just some blues leftovers, they're all strong performances. Can't wait to pick up my copy of the calendar.

JohnLee, you were expecting Montgomery Burns?

Unfortunately due to station policy I can't really advertise the podcast. Here's how to listen other then listening live: just cut & past this url - http://sundayblues.org/brb-feed.xml into your podcast client (itunes: Advanced > Subscribe to Podcast). The shows can also be downloaded by visiting: http://sundayblues.org/feeds/. There are dozens of past shows available.

Thank you very much, jharris!
