Music Maker Relief Foundation and chef Bill Smith have partnered
together to compile the new compilation ‘Biscuits For Your Outside Man’
to be released June 24 on the Music Maker label. It features 1 previously unreleased song out of 17 tracks.
Among the artists featured are dual Blues Music and Americana Music
Association Hall of Famer Taj Mahal, National Endowment for the Arts
Heritage Fellows John Dee Holeman and Drink Small, North Carolina Folk
Heritage Fellow Algia Mae Hinton, longtime James Brown sideman Robert
Lee Coleman, and Pink Anderson’s son Little Pink Anderson. Smith has
contributed brand new liner notes. ‘Biscuits’ is the 179th album to be
released on Music Maker Relief Foundation. Songs range from folk
standard “Shortnin’ Bread” to “Hambone,” which inspired the Bo Diddley
beat. The album also includes Captain Luke’s baritone rendition of the
Elvis Presley hit “Polk Salad Annie,” written by Tony Joe White. Many of
the songs are hokum numbers that function as double entendre, using
food as a way to talk about sexuality.
Smith is as well known for his sumptuous take on Southern comfort food
as he is for his exceptional food writing—including the New York Times
Notable and Food & Wine Best-of-the-Best cookbook Seasoned in the
South and his recent book, the bestselling Savor the South title, Crabs
& Oysters. He stands out as the only James Beard Foundation
“America’s Classic Restaurant” chef ever to have been named a final-five
finalist for Best Chef in the Southeast—and twice. Among the recipes
that have become classics are Green Peach Salad (featured in the New
York Times), Tomato & Watermelon Salad (featured on the cover of
Southern Living), Cheesepork! (the southern schnitzel), Southern Risotto
& Tamales and of course his many desserts, including his most
famous, Honeysuckle Sorbet and Atlantic Beach Pie (dubbed by NPR the
“Oh, My God Pie”).

TIM DUFFY LAUNCHES TOUR AS HARDCOVER BOOK “WE ARE THE MUSIC MAKERS” IS OUT THIS WEEK ON NAUTILUS PRESS
Music Maker Relief Foundation founder and head Tim Duffy will tour with
his new book We Are The Music Makers! Preserving the Soul of America's
Music, out this week on Nautilus Press. The book consists of 144 pages,
featuring the stories of little known southern roots musicians and
Duffy’s own photography. This book was released as a celebration of the
non-profit organization’s twentieth anniversary.
Duffy said, “I have learned to see the world I live in, as it is, that is my point of view. I strive to see through my own eyes not the memory of what others have seen. I do not venture out of my own community of musicians I have worked with over the last 30 years. I am very uncomfortable photographing people that I do not know. Combining my greatest passions of folk musicians and photography has been a trail I have never veered. Knowing this world inside out from years of association helps me give the photographs a greater originality and authority and the "feel" of which you cannot convey without the lack of knowledge. I let the intimate knowledge I have the Music Maker artists, speak for itself."
Select stops on the tour will feature Music Maker artists:
+ John Dee Holeman – This NEA National Heritage Fellowship award
winner has recorded with Taj Mahal.
+ Little Freddie King – This multiple New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Fest
and Ponderosa Stomp veteran is one of New Orleans’ reigning bluesmen.
+ Alabama Slim grew up playing in juke joints in Alabama and moved to
New Orleans in the ‘60s.
+ Major Handy is a Zydeco musician and blues accordion player who was
born in 1947 in Lafayette, Louisiana. His past gigs include playing
guitar with Rockin’ Dopsie’s band for 12 years and with Buckwheat
Zydeco’s original lineup for about a year.
