Dr. John - "Ske-Dat-De-Dat: The Spirit of Satch," @ 11pm CDT on Deltamusic Handpicked

Tribute albums come and go, but it's a real rarity that can snap a listener to attention like Dr. John's new salute to jazz founding father'Ske-Dat-De-Dat- The Spirit of Satch,' Louis Armstrong.

From the opening notes of "Ske-Dat-De-Dat: The Spirit of Satch,"  it's obvious this is no Big Easy re-creation of the best-known recordings by Armstrong, who in the 1920s almost single-handedly changed the course of popular music with his revolutionary vocal style and trumpet playing.

 

 

 

 "He came to me in this dream and said, 'Do my stuff — your way,'" said the 73-year-old pianist and leading light of New Orleans funk and R&B born Malcolm John "Mac" Rebennack Jr.

The Breeze: An Appreciation of JJ Cale – Deltamusic Overnight @ 11pm CDT

The Breeze: An Appreciation of JJ Cale is an album by Eric Clapton & Friends and it is dedicated to his former collaborator JJ Cale. It was named after his 1972 single "Call Me the Breeze". It was produced by Clapton and Simon Climie.

Catch the entire CD on Deltamusic Handpicked @ 11:00PM CDT

In the early Seventies, after the implosions of Cream and Blind Faith, Eric Clapton found profound influence in the California grooves of reclusive songwriter JJ Cale – who supplied Clapton with two of his biggest solo hits ("After Midnight" and "Cocaine"). Clapton repaid his debt to Cale once with their 2006 collaboration, The Road to Escondido, and he takes that idea a step further with this tribute album, conceived at Cale's funeral last year. Clapton's renditions can be a little too faithful: He nails Cale's throaty growl on "Cajun Moon," but the track fades out just as it might have opened up into a Dead-style jam; "Lies," sung with John Mayer, could have benefited from the charismatic delivery of a vet like Dr. John or Leon Russell. The best moments break free from the restraints of Cale's writing. Tom Petty delivers "Rock and Roll Records" with wry swagger, and Mark Knopfler puts his stamp on "Train to Nowhere" with gloomy Strat acrobatics. And just like one of Clapton's Crossroads fests, The Breeze heats up toward the end. Willie Nelson adds a spiritual intensity to "Starbound" – and, best of all, Don White, from Cale's native Tulsa, Oklahoma, howls the Burrito Brothers-style stomper "I'll Be There," grooving like a high-noon drive through the Baja desert.

  •  "Legacy Edition of Elvis Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis" presents, for the first time, a recently located recording of Elvis' complete concert "test-run" held for an ecstatic live audience on March 18, 1974, two days before his historic concert return to Memphis, where he'd last played live in 1957. The remarkable "test-run" performance was recorded in MONO, drenched in the reverb Elvis preferred, and provides new insight into the magic of Elvis.

    The Next Day released a year ago today...for some

    “They can’t get enough of it all”

    Next Day Remember the buzz when this came out last year, even though many wouldn’t be able to get their hands on a copy till the 11th or the 12th or even later?

    Either way, it was well worth the wait, and yes, we mean the ten year wait!

    Listen again on

    Delta’s Handpicked Tribute to Levon Helm “Ramble at The Ryman”, “Dirt Farmer”, and more. Tonight at 7PM CDT

     Mark Lavon "Levon" Helm (May 26, 1940 – April 19, 2012) was an American rock musician and actor who achieved fame as the drummer and frequent lead and backing vocalist for The Band.  Helm was known for his deeply soulful, country-accented voice,  multi-instrumental ability,  and creative drumming style highlighted on many of The Band's recordings, such as "The Weight",  "Up on Cripple Creek", and  "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down".  He also had a successful career as an actor, appearing in such films as Coal Miner's Daughter and The Right Stuff.

    On September 17, 2008, the legendary Levon Helm took his beloved Midnight Ramble on the road to one of America’s treasured venues, Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium.  Accompanied by such luminaries as Buddy Miller, John Hiatt, Sheryl Crow, George Receli, Sam Bush and Billy Bob Thornton, the Levon Helm Band created an unforgettable night of stage magic.

    In 2010,  Electric Dirt,  his 2009 follow-up to Dirt Farmer,  won the first Grammy Award for Best Americana Album,  a category inaugurated in 2010.  His live album Ramble at the Ryman  was  the Grammy Winner for Best Americana Album 2011.
