Welcome
to the Minstral Show, the podcast that spotlights the very best music from
around the world, made exclusively in the 21st century.
Another
decade of Rock n Roll has come and gone as 2019 gives way to the evolving artistic
freedoms of the 2020’s.
Although,
once thought dead, Rock has flourished in the shadows over the last decade as millions
of artists who once had the doors of opportunity closed to them, suddenly found
a spotlight via the internet…The result of which has breathed new life into artistic
freedom, collaboration, independence and the re-emergence of the small record Label.
Rock
n Roll will never die…and what better way to prove it than to feature great new
music by JD McPherson, Jeff Lynne, The Hanging Stars, The Who, ASA, and Alain
Whyte…Also included are fantastic songs by United Ghosts, Peacefield, Alan
Reed, Potter’s Daughter, Colin Devlin and Sonic Divide.
The
new age of Rock n Roll is in full swing and you get that here, on the Minstral
Show.

Bonamassa, and Great Lake Swimmers.
More than just a podcast, World
United Music has emerged to bring you the best music being made in the 21st
century by signed, unsigned and Independent artists.
To all the Artists, be sure to
share the podcast episode with your network as it helps bring attention not
only to your work but to the work of others as well. That's what the “World
United Music” project is all about, bringing attention to all the artists who
make great music. SET: 01
Phoebe
Bridgers opens the first set with “Funeral” taken from her 2017 album “Stranger
in the Alps”.
Funeral
is a very emotive and powerful song about a teen having to deal with the
reality of death while also dealing with her own depression. The lyrics are
real and connect on a level that most of can identify with…Truly, A very hard
hitting song of life that breaks down the emotional defenses due to its realism
and shared experience.
Kane
Miller from Lakefield, Ontario, Canada follows with his Aug 31st
2018 single “All We Need”. A light acoustic song with harmonic vocal blends
that express the deep feelings of trying to hold onto a relationship that is
drifting in a different direction. A song that would have no problem fitting in
with Jim Croce and James Taylor. Big thumbs up to Kane Miller.
Peter
Case follows with “Ain’t Gonna Worry No More” taken from his 2007 album “Let Us
All Praise Sleepy John”. “Ain’t Gonna Worry No More” brings visualization and
understanding to a time in history seen through the eyes of the artist as life
and events are conveyed through exceptional lyrics and a comforting acoustic safety
blanket…a truth tellers tune that engages the listener from the first note…one
can almost see the engaged audience silently reflecting around a camp fire…
JD
McPherson closes the set with “Precious” taken from his 2015 Album “Let the
Good Times Roll”. A song about love and the overwhelming grace of its healing
powers. The Magic of “The Platters”, “Sam Cooke” and “The Drifters” come racing
back, when I hear this amazing retro 50’s song. It is powerful tune that’s soulfully
engaging…it’s hard not to sing along to a song as good as this.
And
so, a set of very real and emotionally impacting music coming at you, on the
Minstral show.
SET: 02
David
Bowie opens the second set with “Lazarus” taken from his January 2016 album
“Black Star”. I have to admit, I grieved for 3 days after David Bowie passed
away and like all his fans, I never knew the pain that he went through as a
Star which he revealed through the videos he made for the album…”Lazarus” in
particular shows us what was going through David Bowie’s mind before he died. He
was a creative genius right up to his death as the Video for the song attests. Simply
brilliant and sobering at the same time.
Roger
Waters follows with three songs from his 2017 album “Is this the Life We Really
Want”. I believe the songs are meant to be played together starting with “Wait
for Her”, then “Oceans Apart” and ending with “Part of Me Died” The songs are
poetically expressive and telling of a persons respect for life and then the
grief and anger one feels at a world gone insane forgetting its commitment to
morality where one cannot go back to sleep once awake to the lies that were
sold by evil beings. Roger Waters is a true artist and poet with a voice for
the voiceless…
Marqui
Adora closes the set with “Away” taken from their 2006 album “White Buildings”.
“Away”
Seeks to find an answer or a way to end the dark clouds that hang over us when
facing difficult times…we call out to consciousness to help us.
And
so, David Bowie, Roger Waters and Marqui Adora help us to connect the dots in
what really matters, on the Minstral show.
SET: 03
Continuing
on the theme from the last set, David Crosby opens the final set with
“Dangerous Night” taken from his 2014 album “Croz”. We truly live in dangerous
times with a world turned upside down for profit and so “Dangerous Night”
expresses our collective thoughts, anguish and worries on the issues we face
when seeing the nightmares we have awakened to.
John
Lodge follows with “Get Me Out of Here” taken from his 2017 live album “The 10,000
light years Tour”. The song is about being aware of loosing love while facing ones
fears in an uncertain future. An excellent solo effort by the Moody Blues icon
John Lodge. Incidentally, John is touring North America in October 2018 so be
sure to check out his website for more details.
The
king of rockin blues, Joe Bonamassa follows with the title track to his Sept
2018 album “Redemption”. Joe’s new album is truly one of his finest to date and
that’s, saying a lot. If you subscribe to his website and youtube channel,
you’ll be privy to lot’s of great music in what is a good solid active music channel.
About
the song, well, Many of us have been there, Down and out and looking for
redemption. An excellent rockin blues tune by the master, Joe Bonamassa.
Great
Lake swimmers close the set with “Visions of a Different World” taken from
their Sept. 03rd 2018 album “The Waves, The Wake”. Anthony Dekker creates a
harmonic vocal masterpiece to express his vision and hope for a different
world”. A very soothing song done without instruments…when we listen to the
universe, empathic melodic thoughts form in harmony to gently touch the soul…and
bring peace of mind…that is “Visions of a Different World”.
Be sure to support the artists by
going to their official websites, buying their music and joining their email
platforms. Details are in the episode description.
And
So, As we pass through Dangerous Nights, get me out of here to find Redemption
and Visions of a Different World, on the Minstral Show. See you next week
everybody.

Today’s show spotlights a good variety of
rock, folk and progressive rock sounds from this the new age of music,
Featuring: Middle Distance Runner, Two Wounded Birds, JD McPherson, Rick
Parfitt, Tom Keifer, Neil Young, The Hanging Stars, The Greek Theater, Agnes
Obel, and Lunatic Soul.
More than just a podcast, World United
Music has emerged to bring you the best music being made in the 21st

podcast episode with your network as it helps bring attention not only to your
work but to the work of others as well. That's what the “World United Music”
project is all about, bringing attention to all the artists who make great
music.
SET: 01
Today’s first set brings the positive
energy of Pop Rock and Rock n Roll to the forefront; to help us battle the negative
forces we all have to deal with on a daily basis.
Middle Distance Runner starts us off with the
title track to their 2015 album “Secret Things”. This is good driving music
that easily turns your steering wheel into a drum kit…just be careful of that
base petal however, as you could find your self speeding down the road a little
too fast. A very likeable song filled with hooks and energy to drive your
spirit in a positive direction.
And, Just when the energy level peaks, Two
Wounded Birds follows with a great Pop Rock tune called “To Be Young” taken
from their self titled 2012 album “Two Wounded Birds”. This song really takes
off as it creates a euphoric experience I can’t seem to get enough of…the song
has it all, as it comes in waves with an infectious blend of sound and a
melancholy lyric that creates an atmosphere of memories, good feelings, and the
urge to sing…that’s the magic of real pop music…
JD McPherson follows with his smash hit
“North Side Gal” taken from his debut 2010 album “Sign and Signifiers”… “North
Side Gal” is a time warp back to the 50’s like no other…when I first heard this
song, my jaw dropped and when it finished, I had to put the song on repeat. It
was an instant favourite for this old free lance DJ…as you can imagine, dance
floors all over time, will be up and rockin as this song plays…an instant
classic in the positive sphere of music.
Closing the set is Status Quo guitarist,
Rick Parfitt with “Lock Myself Away” taken from his solo album “Over and Out”.
The album was postumously released by earMusic on March 23rd, 2018
after the sudden passing of Rick Parfitt on December 24th, 2017.
Rick had finished the vocal and guitar tracks but didn’t have the opportunity
to complete it and so a number of great musicians helped to complete the album
including, Brian May of Queen, Chris Wolstenholme of Muse, former Status Quo
bassist Alan Lancaster and current bassist John "Rhino" Edwards which
was also co-produced by Parfitt's son Rick Parfitt Jnr. A great job done by all
to give music fans a great album by an artist that is dearly missed.
So, get ready for an up-beat Pop and Rock n
Roll set of music to power the positive vibes of your day, on the Minstral
Show.
SET: 02
Our second set turns the page to a 70’s
style of Rock with Tom Keifer, Neil Young and The Hanging Stars.
Cinderella vocalist, Tom Keifer opens the
set with “Solid Ground” taken from his 2016 debut album “The Way Life Goes”.
“Solid Ground” reminds me of the great Rod
Stewart and Faces song “Every Picture Tells a Story” the song however, is
purely Tom Keifer and clearly a classic on its own. This is a Really, really
good solid rock tune by Tom Keifer and band.
Neil Young Follows with “No Hidden Path” taken
from his 2007 album “Chrome Dreams II” - “No Hidden Path” is a 15 minute song of
spiritual consciousness by Neil Young…a good trip and a classic tune in every
way. Love this song.
The Hanging Stars close the set with
“Floodbound” taken from their March 2016 album “Over the Silvery Lake”. If you enjoy Crosby Stills Nash and Young, there’s a very good
chance you will really enjoy UK band The Hanging Stars. The entire album is an
excellent tour through soft Americana country psychedelic music…I mean, what’s
not to like? “Floodbound” is my personal favourite from this excellent 2016
album.
And so we sit on solid ground with no
hidden path as we are floodbound with great music, on the Minstral show.
SET: 03
“The
Greek Theater” open the final set with “Kings of Old” taken from their Feb 2017
album “Broken Circle”. This was a must have album for me in 2017 as I found the
album to be filled with a variety of great retro 60’s and 70’s sounds that
resonated with me as I’m sure it will resonate with others as well.
Following the Greek Theater is Agnes Obel
with “Trojan Horses” taken from her October 2016 album “Citizen of Glass”.
”Trojan Horses” is a shadow of deeply poetic words and sounds of reflection.
What more can I say about this brilliant artist and album that I haven’t
already said in earlier episodes…”Citizen of Glass” is a must have album by an
awesome artist…
“Lunatic Soul” the solo project of Mariusz
Duda of “Riverside” follows with “The Art of Repairing” taken from his May 2018
Album “Under the Fragmented Sky”.
“The Art of Repairing” is an electro
progressive masterpiece that repairs the fractured soul through a music stasis that
builds to a cathedral of sound. a very unique song by the creative genius of
Mariusz Duda…in a way, the music reminds me of Alan Parsons with a touch of
Pink Floyd’s “Shine on You Crazy Diamond”. An excellent song to end today’s
episode.
Be sure to support the artists by going to
their official websites, buying their music and joining their email platforms.
Details are in the episode description.
And now, Kings of Old, Trojan Horses and
the Art of Repairing on the Minstral show. See you next week everybody.

As a visual artist, Broken Arrow, Okla., native JD McPherson
is well versed in the process of working within clearly defined formal
parameters, and he employs a similarly rigorous discipline with his music. On
Signs & Signifiers (Rounder, April 17), McPherson’s seductively kickass
debut album, produced by JD’s musical partner, Jimmy Sutton, this renaissance
man/hepcat seamlessly meshes the old and the new, the primal and the
sophisticated, on a work that will satisfy traditional American rock ’n’ roll
and R&B purists while also exhibiting McPherson’s rarefied gift for mixing
and matching disparate stylistic shapes and textures.
“There are little subcultures within the roots scene, where
people are really into rockabilly, traditional hillbilly stuff or old-timey
music,” JD points out, “but there aren’t a whole lot of folks making hard-core
rhythm & blues hearkening back to Specialty, Vee-Jay or labels like that.
That’s what Jimmy and I really like, and our only intention going in was just
to make a solid rhythm & blues/rock ’n’ roll record. But I didn’t want to
make a time-machine record, so we tried to make something relevant but with all
the things we love about rock ’n’ roll and rhythm & blues and mesh it all
together. We both have eclectic tastes; Jimmy likes the Clash as much as he
likes Little Richard, and I like the Pixies, T.Rex, hip-hop and all kinds of
stuff. So we came up with a couple of weird songs and put them on the record,
hoping that it wouldn’t scare off any of our ultra-selective fanbase.”
JD needn’t have worried. It’s highly unlikely that even the
most discerning listeners would guess that the arrangement on his cover of Tiny
Kennedy’s R&B chestnut “Country Boy” incorporates not only the tambourine
beat of Ruth Brown’s 1955 Atlantic single “Mama, He Treats Your Daughter Mean,”
but also Raekwon and RZA’s “abstract, out-of-tune piano loops” on Wu-Tang
Clan’s innovative ’93 LP Enter the Wu-Tang; or that the mesmerizing churner
“Signs & Signifiers” is powered by an unchanging tremolo guitar figure
modeled on Johnny Marr’s part on the Smiths’ “How Soon Is Now.” Then there’s
“Firebug,” which JD “wanted to sound as if Stiff Little Fingers had recorded at
Del-Fi Records.” And while it may not have been specifically what McPherson and
Sutton were going for, the haunting dreamscape “A Gentle Awakening” seems to
chart a course from “Heartbreak Hotel” through Terence Trent D’Arby to Amy
Winehouse.
Never has an album of so-called “retro” music been laced
with such a rich payload of post modern nuance. But that was precisely the
intent of what JD describes, only half-facetiously, as “an art project
disguised as an R&B record.”
“It’s weird,” says Sutton, “when you grow up being a fan of
‘older’ music and all of a sudden you’re making a record, you’re thinking, are
we just recreating something—a museum piece—or are we actually bringing it
forward? It’s interesting, because if you make something today and it moves you
today, in that sense it’s contemporary. I like that juxtaposition of classic
and fresh, something old yet new that can actually take you somewhere now.”
Of course, pushing the genre envelope doesn’t work unless
the artist has the chops and feel to capture the form in its pure state to begin
with. Check out, for example, “Dimes for Nickels,” McPherson’s vital evocation
of the very moment when R&B and hillbilly music had a baby and they called
it rock ’n’ roll, or the Jackie Wilson-meets-Elvis exuberance of “Scratching
Circles,” or the lascivious ecstasy of the Little Richard doppelganger
“Scandalous,” (although the “gold-capped tooth” reference in the first line is
lifted from the Leiber-Stoller Coasters classic “Love Potion #9”). But for all
we know, these tracks, too, may have been secretly embedded with elements from
far a field, their stylistic twists hiding in plain sight. This cat is
wicked-clever—and man, can he ever deliver this righteous shit.
McPherson took a circuitous path to get to this point.
Broken Arrow butts up against Tulsa, a cultural oasis in the Heartland that has
long been not only a musical hotbed but also a bustling center of the
contemporary arts. “Tulsa’s got a lot of resources for people who are into
weirdo art,” JD points out. And he gravitated toward it. “I did my
undergraduate studies at the University of Oklahoma in experimental film,” he
says. “I wanted to paint, do installation, make video art, performance stuff,
sculpture. I’ll bet I’m the only person to have received graduate credit hours
in card magic.” He wound up with an M.F.A. from the University of Tulsa in open
media, a discipline designed specifically for his interests and ambitions.
But all along the way, music was an integral part of
McPherson’s life. His dad introduced him to Delta blues and jazz as a kid, and
after getting into Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and punk rock during high school, he
picked up a Buddy Holly box set. “Something about that scratched an itch,” he
says. “Then I started getting into the black side of rock ’n’ roll: Larry
Williams, Little Richard, Art Neville’s stuff on Specialty, then soul and
Jamaican rocksteady.” While studying visual arts, he also played in bands,
doing everything from punk to western swing. JD was still scratching that itch
when he recorded some originals with his previous band and took a shot in the
dark. Well aware of Sutton’s status as a heavy hitter on the roots scene and
the leader of R&B group the Four Charms, he fired off a MySpace friend
request and asked if the producer/bassist would listen to his demos.
“I get sent stuff all the time, and it’s always the same,”
says Sutton, “but I checked JD out and there was definitely something there. He
wowed me—his voice, his songwriting. So we started talking, and we were always
on the same page about the music we dig and where we wanted to take it. He had
great ideas but he was still an open book. I was just trying to push him to
stay true to himself. So the idea became to create a record that was honest and
live.”
Six months into their budding partnership, JD arrived at
Sutton’s newly completed home studio in Chicago—a sort of working shrine to
all-tube recording as it was practiced a half-century ago, right down to
Jimmy’s collection of vintage mics and his early-’60s Berlant/Concertone
quarter-inch tape machine. Also on hand was Sutton’s go-to guy Alex Hall, “a
Brian Eno type” according to JD, who multitasks as engineer, drummer and
keyboard player.
“I showed up and I said, ‘I got this song ‘Dimes for
Nickels,’ and I want it to be like a Chess Chuck Berry thing, slowed down, with
a flat-tire beat,’” JD remembers. “Jimmy and Alex are from Chicago—they know
that stuff backwards and forwards—and we nailed it in two takes.” Within a
week, they’d banged out a dozen tracks, recording during the day and writing at
night with a guitar and a laptop.
In order to make sure the album got heard by JD’s potential
core audience, Sutton threw some chum in the water, pressing up a limited run
on his brand-new Hi-Style label and directing it at the roots community. JD and
Jimmy, who’s also a visual artist, then applied those skills to the making of a
striking video for opening track “North Side Girl,” which has now registered
well over 350,000 YouTube views.
“When the album came out, we immediately got a really strong
response from that crowd,” JD recalls. “Then we put that video out, and it went
all over the place within a week. Not too long after that, we started getting
calls from managers, prospective booking agents, and it turned into this weird
journey. By early last year, we were talking to some major labels and the folks
at Rounder, who found out about us from the video. What made it the perfect
storm was, as all that was happening, I lost my job—I was a middle school art
teacher. I loved that job but, sign of the times, they started laying off the
art department and I was part of the fallout. So I collected my paycheck
through the summer and toured.” After which he signed with Rounder.
Having finally decided on his artistic direction, JD isn’t
looking back. “Although I grew up wanting to be a visual artist, I’ll tell you
what: the most satisfaction I’ve ever had as an artist is right now,” he says.
“Because as much as I love artists like Joseph Beuys, I love David Bowie and
Little Richard more. I was doin’ OK, I had some things going, but I’d rather do
this, make music the priority. There’s more instant gratification—you play a
show and right away you feel like it’s something worthwhile, and a lot of
people are in on it. So I’m definitely into continuing to explore all this
stuff. It’s really exciting—knock on wood.”
JD has no doubts about the viability of the choice he’s
made. “Working within a genre has been done in all kinds of mediums—look at
Alfred Hitchcock,” he points out. “It’s been established that rock ’n’ roll is
a viable form—it’s hard-wired into American brains to understand swinging blues
stuff. So it’s not surprising to me that kids are into the Black Keys and
Adele. It just had to be presented to them.”
So now it’s JD McPherson’s turn to step up to the plate and
give it a good whack. Go get ’em, tiger
