Mississippi Soul/Blues Legend Bobby Rush Enlists Guitarist Alvin Youngblood Hart for New Albu "Folk Funk? Album follows Rush?s featured role in Scorsese blues series
JACKSON, MS (ContentDesk) May 5, 2004 -? Last year veteran Bobby Rush became a household name when his dynamic stage show was captured in the documentary "The Road to Memphis," Richard Pearce's contribution to Martin Scorsese's film series "The Blues." In the wake of the series, Rush offered fans more of his legendary showmanship when he released a full-length DVD concert film, "Live At Ground Zero," on his newly formed Deep Rush label, based in his home of Jackson.This January Rush entered the studio to fulfill his longstanding dream of recording an album that paid tribute to his childhood roots in Louisiana and Arkansas. Once in the studio, though, the record took on a life of its own. Putting aside the modern instrumentation of his more recent CDs, the stripped-down session featured just Rush, a simple rhythm section, and Memphis-based Alvin Youngblood Hart, widely regarded as one of the best guitarists in the blues field and beyond. Rush had brought in Hart to contribute his skills at traditional acoustic guitar, but the tone for the session was instead set with an impromptu jam on Rush's classic Chicken Heads that alerted Rush to Hart's eclecticism and musical imagination as an electric guitarist. "I love it,' Rush says of Hart's guitar work.
"If he steps on my toe with his groove, all I can say is ?Ouch!' ?Cause he's bad, man."The resulting album, Folk Funk, is "traditional" in the sense that it covers a variety of older styles of blues, gospel, and funk, but it's also thoroughly modern in the sense that the musicians cut loose instead of adhering to tried-and-true sounds. Rush and Hart are backed on the CD by former Stax session drummer Charlie Jenkins and Rush band member Steve Johnson on bass.Rush's Deep South roots and unheralded guitar skills are on display on the swampy Voodoo Man, about a former player looking to find out how a woman settled him down, and Uncle Esau, a song Rush learned from his father. Ninety-Nine is a showcase for Rush's harmonica playing, and features the jazzy guitar riffs of guest Jesse Robinson, who led Rush's band following his relocation from Chicago to Jackson in the early ?80s. Rush explores more traditional veins in the gospel vamp Saints Gotta Move, the early ?50s Chicago-style Ride In My Automobile, and a funky interpretation of Percy Mayfield's River's Invitation. The CD is bookended by Feeling Good, a jam whose stone cold groove captures the vibe of the five-hour session.
"It turned out to be something beyond roots, something that's also really funky and modern," says Rush of the CD. "I think it's a good record for people to see me for what I was, what I'm doing, and what I'm going to be."Born Emmit Ellis, Jr., in Homer, La., Rush moved in the early ?50s to Chicago, where he
became a popular live performer in clubs across the South and West Sides, often working two or three bookings a night. A bassist as well as vocalist, Rush led bands that included legendary guitarists including Freddy King, Luther Allison, and Earl Hooker. Rush's recording career took off in the ?60s after he cut his funk-blues classic "Chicken Heads" for Galaxy. After recording for labels including Checker, Ronn, ABC, Philadelphia International, LaJam, and Ichiban, Rush moved in the ?90s to leading soul-blues label Malaco Records.A star on the "chitlin' circuit" for decades, in the ?90s Rush began steadily gaining new mainstream audiences, who were enthralled with Rush's dynamic and risqu? stage show, which feature dancers and frequent costume changes.
Prior to his appearance in the Scorsese series, Rush won multiple Living Blues Awards for best live performer, and in 2000 received a Grammy? nomination for his album Hoochie Man.A native of Oakland with strong ties to his family home in Mississippi, Alvin Youngblood Hart debuted in 1992 with the CD Big Mama's Door, which established him as the finest contemporary interpreter of early bluesmen including Charley Patton. Hart's subsequent CDs demonstrated his breadth of musical interests through explorations of ska, country, and even the songs of Captain Beefheart. Hart's last album, Down In The Alley, was nominated for a Grammy? as Best Traditional Blues Recording.Folk Funk will be available in stores and online June 1, 2004Deep Rush Records was founded in 2003 by Rush and former Malaco marketing executive Greg Preston. Also available are the DVD/CD combo Live At Ground Zero, and the CD Undercover Lover..

Global Value Connect ( http://www.globalvalueconnect.com ) continues to witness an erosion in the cost of T1 service despite the fact that many pundits predicted the end of price erosion for T1 bandwidth more than a year ago. T1 service providers are still experiencing severe price competition and are more than willing to reduce their pricing in an effort to fill their pipes and turn a profit. As recently as only a few years ago, the price of a T1 line was out of reach of many businesses, but these days a T1 line has become very price-aggressive, with prices that are very affordable and cost effective even for a small business.Many companies and individuals that entered into T1 service agreements 2-years ago may be spending much more and receiving less bandwidth then they could purchase today. And if they have had a T1 line for more than 3-years there is an extremely strong possibility and likelihood that they are paying too much for it.A...
