Rhythm and blues

In the July of 1954, the group appeared in Overton Park to perform at 8:00. The group started with the song ‘That’s Alright Mama’. The group also played ‘Blue Moon Kentucky’ and ‘I’ll Never Let You Go’. The next night, the group made another appearance at Bon Air Club and fans raved. The group then played in Memphis at Eagle's Nest, Kennedy Hospital, and Lamar-airways Shopping Center. Yet, the group added more songs to the playlist, such as ‘Satisfied’, ‘I Don’t Care if the Sun Don’t Shine’, and…

Amongst some gliding melodic passages, “Death valuation” commences with itchy staccato riffing before exploding into a frenzy of rampaging drumming and spiky guitars. These spiked, jagged riffs which erupt from the frantic rhythms are present in other tracks such as “Earth Scar” where even the simplest second-long spiralling melody magnifies the song’s chaotic nature. There never seems to be a moment of respite during “Anticult” and that is predominately down to Michał Łysejko’s…

tracks as a very special guest. “Ancestros”, a breathtaking tune initiated in rubato and delivered at a complex tempo, makes us alert and features the inventively dazzling touches of Genovese, deeply immersed in the robust web created by the elastic rhythm section that paddles toward a grandiose finale. Here, one can have a glimpse of Chick Corea’s initial phase.…

Lysergic Acid Diethylamid, or LSD, is a hallucinogenic drug formed from a fungus, ergot, that typically grows on rye and wheat. It was initially discovered in 1938 by Swiss chemist, Albert Hofmann. Hofmann originally began his research with the compound in hopes of finding additional treatments for migraines as well as gynecological issues. However, when Hofmann accidentally consumed some of the drug in 1943, he incidentally discovered the sensory distortions and hallucinations it induced. Once…

The song I have chosen for the My Favorite Song Assignment is “Crazy On You,” by the rock group Heart. It has been my all-time favorite song since I was in high school, and was one of the first songs I learned how to play on guitar. It is a stellar example of rock music that was popular in the seventies and displays the accomplished songwriting talents of lead singer Ann Wilson, her guitar-playing sister Nancy, as well as the contributions of the other members of the band: Howard Leese, Roger…

Chris Young was twenty-eight at the time of the release of I'm Coming Over. Young grew up in Murfreesboro…

the result of pool balls colliding with one another. The view of the table is seen not at eye level or from above the pool table, but somewhere in between. For me, an entry point into this painting is from the bottom-right corner, where a man in a blue hat is leaning over the table with his pool stick in hand, lining up a shot. The way he is leaning leads your eye to the next person, who appears to be straining his neck to…

music industry. The blues that we know now used to be known as “race music.” (Rockin’ out textbook – page 30) This type of music was sung by mostly whites but in 1920, African American singers were introduced into the blues music. (Rockin’ out textbook – page 30) A lady named Mamie Smith was a woman that was well known for her singing during the blues music era. “Crazy Blues” sold 8,000 copies a week! (Rockin’ out textbook…

The sky is a Carolina blue. The clouds look like wisps that have been painted with a paintbrush. The temperature is 68 degrees. The sun is partially blocked by the clouds but is slowly starting to show its full self. The pond ripples as a little kid skips a rock into it. The kid is wearing a Duke blue shirt and navy blue jeans. The water is a dirt brown and camo green color. The dirt swirls under the water like a tornado. There are long lime green plants coming out of the water on the right…
