I can play guitar drake bell

Elvin Bishop began to play blyuz in the times, when a question "can white fellow play blyuz?" were caused the discussions, which were being concluded with fight. A question of strange, since the white fellows played blyuz at least from the beginning of the epoch of sound recording (about which testifies at least the album "White Boy Blues" into a series "Roots'n'blues ', represented audiosvidetel'stva, beginning from the second-half of the 20th it is annual). However, in connection with Elvinu to Bishop this question to place justifiably, necessary only slightly to sharpen: can play blyuz white fellow with the appearance of French film actor? Bishop in blyuze - large humourist, the artist of conversational genre. It is agreeable concerts, but also albums it fills with everyday anecdotes about that, for example, that precisely indicates expression "in my stall it kicks another mule" or "from what it begins fishing", described by recitative above lazy shaffla. "it continually arose and departed, and when it returned, in it occurred the place for the following bottle of beer", this history acquires in Bishop's account ominous- endless environment, described to the accompaniment of "espionage music". In general, composed its Memphis Slim, but Bishop returned its action in the new times by remark "impede, barmen, 4 banknote of house he forgot". But, where the words do not be sufficient, about the mountain of person, who visited into the bar with fifty dollars, but who left with two cents, sings guitar by slide. In the personal life Bishop finds quite sufficiently subjects for the sketches: "when fries the sun, my dog is dragged along in the shadow. To work to it is not necessary entirely, to this he has the best friend - man. Then if I get drunk vdrebadan, my dog will show me road home, here such in me dog, old good dog. You want to listen to, as it voyet?_________ But here, as my dog gavkayet... _________" , where the through-line, in the concert sounds slide- guitar. And it really voyet, and it gavkayet; and these are only garish tricks, only is that which is immediately noticeable. The intimate and amorous knowledge of tool and the experience of the fourth decade of game lies after them. However, not randomly this khokhmach used the respect for the trailblazers of the fate- slide: Football shirt of Bloomfield and Dyuana Of ollmana. Yes, Elvin Bishop began in the times, when at the fate- musicians they looked not as to the simple fellows, who knew how after school to immediately hammer together million. To the fate- guitarists in the 60th they regarded at the trailblazers, provozvestnikov and insurgents. And Elvin was then in the very sediment of events. Now to it 56, and in the song "reduce speed" it it sings, which wants to continue to note birthdays. Assuming interviewer in its own house (that to the north of San Francisco), he speaks: "I used by all, than it is possible, from its youth. And I cannot separately condemn those, who in this plan play pranks now, be it drinking bout or girl, because 4 itself lived so ". To it 56, but it is married only 13 years, its junior daughter 10, and by elder 20... To Bishop yet not there was eighteen, when it proved to be in Chicago - 1960- m to year, exactly on the eve of the events, which forged from black Chicago blyuza world fate- music. It grew in the state of Oklahoma and from five years it milked cows. Entire black farmer work it izvedal on its own skin. Segregation was the standard of life. "any attempt at the contact strictly was condemned. We have the small fountains for the drink separately for the white, separately for the blacks; snack for the blacks, snack for the colored. And into the train blacks sat down themselves into the tail of railroad car. I recalled in the song "this train it left" about this, says Bishop. To his honor it is necessary to note that in spite of the complete impossibility of contact with afroamerikantsami, it managed to catch the virus of blyuza, simply listening to the medium-wave radio stations, which transferred music for the colored. Radio receiver was size refrigerator, about which recalls Bishop in the song the "radio-bugs" from the last album. (Blyuz - author's and autobiographical music. Frequently finding the subjects of songs in its own life, Bishop again demonstrates, how really he blyuzmen in the soul. In the "radio-bugs" together with his contemporaries by Charlie masseluayt and Dzho Louis by Walker he recalls the abbreviations of the names those stations, that they brought to them blyuz in the youth and the adolescence, it pronounces their rough accords with the amorous irony.) Radio was window into the peace from dusty Oklahoma. And Bishop learned in the school on excellently. "college was my ticket from Tulsy", he says, implying that the only method to be pulled out it was leave to learn. In the family not there was money to the studies. Elvin tried in the school and was voznagrazhden national allowance. It went to Chicago to learn on physics, and national allowance proved to be pass into blyuz. on the second day in Chicago Bishop it saw young person, who played blyuz on the guitar. It sat on the steps, next stood beer. "in those times of white, who was interested in blyuzom, I could compute on the fingers, so that this was something, recalls Bishop. - I stopped and addressed to it. It proved to be, he is fascinated by labial harmonic. And we immediately became friends ". Young person they called the floor Of batterfild. Chicago blyuz was in the force. In the city worked more than two hundred blyuzovykh clubs, and in any evening it was possible to hear Maddi of Waters, Litl Walter, Khaulin Of vulfa, which were being located in the bloom of forces. And Ascending - Medzhika Of sema, Otis Rasch, Baddi Of Gaius... It is another matter that the white persons in such clubs were encountered not frequently, and a good company for the marches would not there prevent young students... By the way, and Masseluaytom, with the years by the become coryphaeas of blyuzovoy labial harmonic, they made friends precisely in such blhz- marches. "once I visited into the pawnshop on Clark- Street to look anything for the guitar. 4 began to strum, and fellow, who worked there, he asked me, does please itself me blyuz. I said "certainly", it took guitar and played something striking. In me simply roof it laid ", so Elvin Bishop recalls acquaintance Maykom by Bloomfield, by the future first white genius of slide- guitar. Three together and by pairs they walked on the Chicago bars, being impregnated shityu blyuzom of classicists and accomplishing the first outputs to the scene. The hostile attitude of public it was necessary to encounter by it, but blyuzmeny, after being convinced of the truthfulness of their tendencies, took them under their wing. Batterfild began to play in bende in the the legendary Of khaulin Of vulfa, but Bishop - in not less legendary, let and less known Chicago bugimena Hound Taylor's great dane. In the album of memory Hound the great dane of Taylor (firm "elligeytor") Bishop tells: "this it was 1962. To me yet it was not carried out by 20, and 4 very recently arrived into the large city of Chicago from Tulsy, the state of Oklahoma. And I was introduced and was obtained work in Hound Taylor's great dane. This was that another fellow. 4 to it it were pleased, because could play "refuge" (this new instrumental of tekhastsa of King's Freddi in those times it were presented by the higher school of gitarnogo skill. - AU). Then each Chicago blyuz-bend had to possess the guitarist, who could play "refuge". It not very much time returned to rehearsals. We were gathered in its house from time to time, it advanced hen wings, and we drank on the cup of whisky, and then labali to vapor of songs. But when began concert, it never played not one of these songs. It simply assigned rhythm. He spoke anything like: "to 31, let us give fanka!" (amateurs strictly of "fanka" request not to worry. This expression in the blyuzovykh circles of spokon of century indicates to nothing the not forcing cheering bright rhythm.) "Hound Dogs was that another fellow, continues to insist Bishop in the interview" Blyuz to revyu "past year. - he played in the cheapest institutions of Chicago, where walked only drunkards, prostitute and those, who sat on the cheapest benefits. He was from those, whom exactly this pleased itself. There stress was always on the highest note ". By the thanks to Bishop, it determined the source, which feeds rigid, through the edge beaten power engineering of irresistable- primitive the bugs -blhza of six-fingered guitarist. Hound Dogs Taylor remained idol for Bishop as a number of other famous or forgotten now musicians, whom he saw and heard on the scenes of Chicago podval'chikov: Otis Rasch, little Smoki Of smozerz and Lyuter Ellison. But came time to youths independently to leave into the Chicago blyuzovyy light. Batterfild in blyuz-bende Of khaulin Of vulfa was introduced to the drummer Semom Leem and bass Jerome Arnold. When it secured a constant work in the club "in large John", it enticed to itself this rhythm- section Of khaulin Of vulfa by large earnings. Bishop, Bloomfield and Batterfild earlier played together. But from this point on, officially appears the "floor Of batterfildz of blyuz-bend" - the first, where played together blacks both white and the first, where blyuz entirely became fate. "in large John" we played six nights in the week, recalls Bishop. - A in Chicago clubs are opened to 4 mornings on the working days and to 5 - on Saturday. We played on six departments each evening and seven - on Saturday. For the young musician - this is a good school ". But heavy child labor at the farm Bishop did not recall. This was another matter! "to me simply it transported, that I was there, because Bloomfield and Batterfild were always full heat. By semmi and Jerome they possessed present experience... Many musicians, who play on the clubs, are gradually penetrated by thoughts, that it is simply necessary to win back night. Such not there was never in the group Batterfilda ". Great success awaited group. In 1965. the "floor Of batterfildz of blyuz-bend" with the luster and the triumphal scandal came out at blyuzovom festival in Newport and wrote down the debyutnyy album, which lay cornerstone into the construction of blhz- fate. Batterfild and Bloomfield were acknowledged by the virtuosos of their tools and by the stormy petrels of new musical ideas, and companion-in-arms Bishop suddenly proved to be in the shadow of their success. Bloomfield left group after the record of the second album (by the way, in this album Bishop is for the first time represented and as the vocalist: he sings in the song "there is never do not speak""). The third album was dedicated to Bishop's ascending to the post of leader- guitarist, since was called "revival Pigboya To krebshou", which was the nickname of Bishop's khokhmacha in to the circle of friends, in Russian a kind of "svinopas-buzoter". However, potential the "floor Of batterfildz of blyuz-bend" at the beginning of the 70th was already exhausted. Possibly, exactly because the musicians attempted "to live rapidly". Floor itself decided to try to begin anew with the large composition, he assembled group the "best days" with the participation of wind section... And it departed from the blyuzovogo size. "best anything this sounded, when Batterfild fulfilled 12- clock blyuz. But at some moment democracy whipped us, as a result the group spread and lost face. I wanted larger right of suffrage. Only, that it was possible to make, this very to become the owner of situation ". Entire trinity moved from Chicago to blessed California, but their musical ways were radiated forever. (I long ago is already from these three living only Bishop.) In California to guitarists it lived especially "rapidly". Bishop became friends with one additional magician of blhz- fateful slide- guitar - Dyuanom Ollmanom. In the album "ollman of brazerz" "Fillmore is true" it is published the record, where this most popular at that moment group actually accompanies to Bishop, who fulfills his song "fellow with the drunk heart". (I of dyuana Of ollmana very long already no with us.) the 70's amused Bishop by popularity. By Thomas he wrote down its song "durachilsya and fell in love itself" with the vocalist Of mikkey, which rose to the third position in priest- Heath. Bishop wrote fatty tearing slide and durachilsya on the concerts, he came out in the overalls, representing the type of the undispairing negligent, but inoffensive worker. Its song- humoresques, in which little which remained from blyuza, cheered public. It flashed on the tele-show, and the top of career became invitation in the show of David litterman (transfer, dedicated to the babble of celebrities). However, in the second-half of the 70th the firm "kaprikon", which dealt with Bishop's plates, it became bankrupt. Success flew away from the hands. In the subsequent twelve years Bishop wrote down only two albums, on to one V by Star and news-writer... Blyuzovaya fate achieves ordered spirals.... Bishop felt himself by professional, playing in blyuz-bende Hound Taylor's great dane... The history of Chicago firm "elligeytor" begins from the record of album Hound Taylor's great dane... Bishop's return to the blyuzovye circles occurred precisely because of the firm "elligeytor"... The album of 1988 was called "large merriment". Bishop continued to adhere to the principle of the club success suffered by it: "if to public not it is gaily - following time it will not arrive". The founder of Chicago "alligator" Bruce iglauer considered that a large quantity of kaver- versions of blyuzovoy classics by the new album only decreases the interest of public. Prover'te - there is no other blyuzovoy firm, which let out so few new versions of immortal, but infinite "of Xuci- heap". Discussing the plan of the second "alligatorovskogo" album, Iglauer of oserchal, after learning, that Bishop intends to write down too many kaver- versions. "4 I do not remember, what precisely, says Iglauer, but these were the songs, which, in my opinion, wrote already too frequently. And I said to it that if he them writes down, then albeit will already at the same time write down "God, blagoslovi America". "this me angered, recalls Bishop, we simply took that track itself, iz"yali of vokal, composed new text and put it directly on the old record ". The result Of iglauer it proved to be is very contented, although the old song to the new harmony was called: "do not make possible for chief to be sat down to you on the neck". Specifically, it gave name to entire album. Two first albums of Bishop on "elligeytor" were not especially interesting from the point of view of the amateur strictly of blyuza, these. Gitarnye breyki were short and malozapominayushchimisya. Instrument numbers were longer, but they were memorized so badly. It seemed, in the arsenal of guitarist remained several old those checked it was special effect, in performance of which it feels itself confidently and use they economically... Only third album "Ace In the Hole" (that, pardon, indicates the "rein under the tail", or the "awl into the back") certified that we still deal concerning the guitarist of the highest qualification. But blyuzovosti to Bishop did not be sufficient to entire album. Toward the end it rolled down to the indistinct in stylistic sense and uninteresting in the content "muzychke". Resembling about the bylykh priest- merits, he wrote down the instrument version of its only Heath so, as if to it was necessary demo- record for obtaining the work on cocktails and presentations. However, any of these three albums presented songs glorious in blyuzovom sense. But the main thing, the concert album, dedicated to the 20- anniversary of firm, it demonstrated, that Elvin Bishop - not only phrase book, but also guitarist! The last year's album of Bishop proved to be quite blyuzovym, and most serious among his solo works for entire long career. In it, it goes without saying, there is a place also for the jokes. But, as if themes force, much is returned and to serious gitarnoy game. In title "its jacket" it rehearses about how it is difficult to people to understand each other, as many occur by the prisoners of "its belfries", as they cannot remove from "their jacket", also, as a result: "white cannot understand blacks, blacks do not entrust to white; old men do not love young generation, young people do not hear old men ". Arrangement is nashpigovana like by typical bishopovskimi "comic" saksofonnymi riffami, but stress of slaydovoy game does not give "to pokhikhikat' and to forget". In this joke - too great a portion of truth, and the truth of bitter. Bishop possesses the so necessary for blyuza unique, author's sounding of game and emotional expressive instrument improvisation. "I always tried to include so much slaydovoy game, as soon as it is possible, he says. - it compensates deficiencies in the voice, which i, according to the large calculation, ever and not had. By slide you can sing in the manner that it wants, and not to recall about the limitations of vocal range ". The theme of average years penetrates the album as red thread. It notched 56- summer Bishop pozdnovato, but it is strong: "decrease speed", "long shadows", the "man of average age"... Marries album the sad song of the Mersey Dii Walton about the shady lane, which begins from the lines about the "farewell ringing of bells" and concludes with the words: "4 I want nothing to be proper to the peace, when I lie in the shady lane" - nothing similar on the previous albums Bishop cannot be imagined! What thin here lies connection - not to decipher. Not too glad thoughts in a some manner gave Bishop's blyuzu the confident and solid gait of classical Chicago style, but slaydovaya game found ponderability and volume. Not without reason many times are noted that age to blyuzmenu - for the benefit.
