Story by: Gail NoblesIntro by: Gail NoblesLittle Milton was expressing pain. He was talking about a flow of tears if his lover ever left him. It's bad to hurt like that over someone.Little Milton’s single Cry Me a River was released in 1972. The style of the song is sold on the Stax label. Little Milton’s records are still being sold because he's that soulful kind of blues we don't hear today. Little Milton’s single Cry Me a River is found on the very best of little Milton compilation album released in 2007. It's a great soul blues.Cry Me a River was produced by Donald Davis, a Detroit base-producer, label owner, songwriter, and guitarist.

Ed Cook - WVON, Chicago - January 29, 1966Downloaded from: archive.orgUsage: Puplic DomainCover Art by: Gail NoblesGood evening everyone. Today I'm going to talk about Ed “Nassau Daddy” Cook. Ed Cook was a beloved DJ for WVON-one of Chicago's first major black radio stations. Ed Cook played rhythm and blues. He played Sonny Boy Williamson's Bring It On Home. Sometimes he was a little upset while doing his job because things weren't quite turning out the way he wanted. I can truly understand.Ed: Hold it man! Hold it! Shoot! Messing up already!Ed Cook switched the record to Sonny Boy Williamson because the wrong record was playing. He wasn't in a good mood. Cook had things to say about the weather.(Ed Talking)Yes, I can truly understand Ed Cook. When it turns cold in the winter, things start happening, and it's aggravating.Ed Cook played B.B. King and mentioned that king used to be a DJ, and said that he was smart to quit and become a musician.(Ed Talking)Well, I hope you enjoyed getting to know something about DJ Ed Cook. I certainly did. I enjoyed hearing his conversations in the radio world. If you would like to hear the full broadcast, you can go to archive.org.I'm Gail Nobles. Goodbye friends.

Alan Freed Clip: archives.orgUsage: Public DomainStory by: Gail NoblesWelcome again to Podcast and Blues. I am your host Gail Nobles. I want to talk about the sound of B.B. King from the 1950s. A much different sounding style of blues than when he was singing The Thrill Is Gone from the 1970s. Alan Freed would play BB King’s music.(Alan Freed Introduces B.B. King's song) B.B. King song Lonely and Blue reminds me of a song that Fats Domino would sing. Lonely and Blue is a song that you would call a blues ballad. There's a whole album and collection of B.B. King singing blues ballads titled B.B.-King Heart and Soul. There's a song on the album that makes me think of the Platters. The Platters, Fats Domino, and B.B. King were singing in the 1950s. They were all in the rock 'n' roll era in the genres of rhythm and blues. I'm Gail Nobles. Thank you for tuning in, and please come back again next time for more Podcast and Blues.

Rowdy Blues by Kid BaileyDownloaded from: https://archive.org/details/01RowdyBluesUsage: Public DomainKid Bailey was a Mississippi delta bluesman. His one known recording session occurred on September 25, 1929 in Memphis Tennessee. He collaborated with Charley Patton and a circle of Delta blues musicians who swapped melodies, riffs, and lyrics during the late 1920s and early 30s such as Son House and Tommy Johnson just to name a few. Little is known about Bailey. His voice had a distinctly course yet youthful quality. Two of his recordings have survived: Rowdy Blues and Mississippi Bottom Blues in most digital releases. The tracks are attributed to Willie Brown yet one evidently the same artist created as Kid Bailey on the original 78-RPM recordings. I'd like to share with you now Rowdy Blues performed by Kid Bailey.

Kingfish is a great vocalist and guitar player. He sounds like a legend at the age of 24. Kingfish has what blues listeners want to hear. I couldn't wait to hear his first song on his album titled She Calls Me Kingfish. He sings: She’s flipping out on me She calls me king fish Got me on the hook If I don't quit that woman I believe my fish is cooked. I love the lyrics. If you are really wondering how Christone got the nickname Kingfish, according to Rolling Stone, one of his teachers gave him that name because he reminded him of the character Kingfish from the old sitcom Amos and Andy. I love that show. Kingfish has a right good many songs on his album. Another song that I like from his album is Hard Times. He’s singing about what we see and what he sees, Hard Times. Kingfish sings real songs and plays real guitar music. That’s what I love about him and makes us continue to listen to the blues. So check out Christone Kingfish Ingram’s live album titled: Live In London. I’m Gail Nobles & You’re listening to Podcast & Blues.
