BEALE STREET CARAVAN TAPING PERFORMANCE IN EARLY JUNE AS EARLY RAVES COME FROM DIFFUSER, WAX POETICS, ETC.
Before he passed away, Jim Dickinson heard Ted Drozdowski’s Scissormen, whose new album ‘Love & Life’ comes out July 31. Dickinson had this to say about Ted’s music:
“Ever wonder what would have happened if Bukka White had discovered the
Fuzz Tone? Or if Skip James had played piano with Antenna Jimmy and
Drumbo from the Magic Band? Scissormen is acid blues for the 21st
century... Robert Palmer would indeed be proud.”
Early buzz on ‘Love & Life’ has been excellent. In a premiere of
“Beggin’ Jesus,” Diffuser.FM praised Drozdowski’s “Staggering guitar
skills [on] music that will stand the test of time."
Wax Poetics said, “Ted Drozdowski’s Scissormen weaves together Hill Country blues, Memphis soul, and psychedelic/garage rock.”
Beale Street Caravan is taping the band’s performance on June 2 at Rum Boogie in Memphis, TN for broadcast on its nationally syndicated radio program.
Elmore called the album an “exciting journey of experimental, genre-hopping, electric and eclectic music making.”

MEMPHIS SOUL MEN THE BO-KEYS RELEASE TWO VINYL/DIGITAL 45s TODAY ON ELECTRAPHONIC RECORDINGS
KILLER TAKES ON ENNIO MORRICONE AND "DARK END OF THE STREET" PLUS TWO DEEP SOUL ORIGINALS
Memphis soul men The Bo-Keys will release two vinyl/digital-only 45s today on Electraphonic Recordings. The band joins with legendary vocalists Spencer Wiggings and Percy Wiggins for a deep soul rendition of the Dan Penn and Chips Moman classic hit "At The Dark End of the Street." Versions by Cat Power, Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Ryan Adams, and in the film "The Commitments" have kept it in the public eye and Penn and Moman are most recently celebrated in the new documentary "Muscle Shoals." B-side "Wind Up Monkey" sounds like a lost, funky instrumental cut from Stax or Duke/Peacock, which debuted yesterday at Wax Poetics.
The Bo-Keys also teamed up with soul powerhouse Percy Wiggins to bring you their other new single steeped in the Bluff City heat, the original "I Need More Than One Lifetime." The B-side is a funky instrumental take on Ennio Morricone’s cult Western film theme "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly."
Check out a mini-documentary on the singles series, which premiered on the Huffington Post last week.
