Episode #37 – “Sinners & Redeemers” Records About Saturday Night & Sunday Morning

In this episode, I spin a stack of 78 RPM and 45 RPM records that tell the story of Saturday night temptation and Sunday morning redemption. From fragile shellac discs of the 1920s and ’30s to mid-century jukebox singles, these records capture the push and pull between honky-tonk rebellion and gospel salvation — sometimes from the very same artists.

If you love vintage vinyl, American roots music, pre-war blues, gospel quartets, early country records, and the cultural story behind recorded sound, this one’s for you.Sit back and enjoy a good old fashioned episode featuring a variety of down home 78 rpm records. Blues, jazz, early country, honky tonk, Hawaiian steel guitar and even some ranchera accordion playing. A little bit of everything. I hope you enjoy the wide variety of music featured in the show. Crack a cold one and enjoy this episode of the Old Dingy Jukebox- Down Home 78 RPM Records “Greenback Dollars, Malicious Bed Bugs and Waltzes With Sin.”

Episode #23- Jerry Garcia.

Episode 23

dimanche 7 novembre 2021 • Duration 01:09:42

Send us Fan Mail

Today’s episode is an examination and celebration of the musical roots of the Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia. Garcia’s musical roots begin in the early 1960s with traditional American folk music. With styles ranging from bluegrass, old time country music, folk, blues and jug band music, Garcia was a well known performer in SanFrancisco and Bay Area clubs. Around 1964-65 Jerry switched his energy from bluegrass banjo to the electric guitar after forming a rock band with fellow American down home music enthusiasts Bob Weir, Ron “Pigpen” Mckernan, Phil Lesh and Bill Kreutzman. The Warlocks, soon renamed the Grateful Dead became an extremely popular act in the SanFrancisco area and the rest, as they say, is history.

The format for this episode is semi-chronological in regard to Jerry Garcia’s music styles. A variety of styles are examined and is nowhere near a complete, in depth analysis of Jerry’s styles and influences. That could be a full length book. Rather, the show is a simple examination that looks at some of the original recordings that influenced Jerry and then mixes in snippets of how those recordings were manifested in Garcia’s style throughout the decades he was active as a performer up until his untimely death in August of 1995. Early recordings of Jerry in his many aggregations around the Bay Area folk scene have long been available as bootleg tapes as well as most, if not all, of the Grateful Dead shows from their 30 year career made possible through the Dead’s allowing of and encouragement of taping their live performances. There’s a lot out there to listen to and I recommend you seek out as many recordings as you can.

For an in depth dive on the Grateful Dead I highly recommend the official podcast of the Grateful Dead, The Good ‘Ol Grateful Deadcast as David Grisman’s record label, Acoustic Disc, which made many great recordings of Jerry playing traditional American music in the early 1990’s. See links below.

Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy the show.
