TINA TURNER TAKES SWISS NATIONALITY
R
eports suggest that singer Tina Turner is giving up her American passport to become a citizen of Switzerland, according to news reports.
“I am very happy in Switzerland, and I feel at home here. I could not imagine a better place to live,” Turner told
the Blick, a German newspaper. Turner, once part of the duo of Ike and Tina Turner, has lived since the mid-1990s
in Kuesnacht, Switzerland, a suburb of Zurich. Zuerichsee-Zeitung, a Lake Zurich, Switzerland, web portal for
regional newspapers, reported that local authorities have approved Turner's citizenship application. State and
federal authorities, however, must give their individual thumbs up.
The 73-year-old Turner was born Anna Mae Bullock on Nov. 26, 1939, in Nutbush, Tenn. She was married
to Ike Turner from 1962 to 1978. Tina Turner has two children, Ronnie Turner and Craig Hill.
Tina Turner moved to Switzerland in 1994. She lives with her partner, Erwin Bach, a German music executive
whom she met at a record label party in London in 1985. The two began dating shortly after meeting and have
been together since.
While Turner's primary residence is in Kuesnacht, she also owns property in Los Angeles, London, Cologne,
Germany, and on the French Riviera.
In October 2008, Turner began her "Tina! 50th Anniversary Tour," performing to sold-out crowds in 40 different
cities in the United States and Europe. The concerts were attended by 100 million fans and grossed over $100
million.
Tina Turner still performs, but there are reports she plans to retire.
THE NEW BRUNSWICK BATTLE OF THE BLUES ANNOUNCES SOUTHERN HEAT WINNER
David Migden & The Dirty Words, from
Tunbridge Wells, are one step nearer to
performing in New Brunswick,
Canada
Six blues acts went head
to head at the Southern heat
of The New Brunswick Battle
of the Blues at The
Brunswick in Hove on the
25th January, as part of a
UK-wide search to find
Britain’s best unsigned
Blues talent. The judging
panel voted David Migden &
The Dirty Words from
Tunbridge Wells as the heat
winners, and the band will now
prepare for the London final, where
they will compete against acts from the
other 4 regional heats. The final is taking
place at Scala on the 26th March.
The other acts at the Southern heat
were: Wooden Horse from
Worcester, Blues Corporation
from Brighton, Blues Issue
from Worthing, Crows
Parliament from Street,
Somerset and 3am from
Chiswick. These acts
still have a chance to
make it through to the
final in London by being
chosen as the ‘Judges
Choice’ which will be
announced at the end of
February.
The Canadian Province
of New Brunswick has been
looking to the UK to provide new
performers for its world-renowned
Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival. Says
competition organiser, Lee George, “The
competition at this heat was fierce. Six excellent acts
provided a great evening of live entertainment. But there
had to be just one overall winner and David Migden & The
Dirty Words were chosen.”
After winning David Migden from the band said, "It
was a brilliant experience to perform live with 5 other really
talented blues acts. I’m really excited and can’t wait to play
in the final in London. I’d like to thank Tourism New
Brunswick for providing this great opportunity and for taking
us one step closer towards Canada.”
The overall winner will get an all-expenses paid trip to
the beautiful maritime province of New Brunswick to
perform on one of the main stages at the Harvest Jazz &
Blues Festival in the provinces’ capital Fredericton in
September. They will also be given the chance to sample
what New Brunswick has to offer including whale watching
and the very best of the province’s hospitality!
Lee George again, “Travelling to the Harvest Jazz &
Blues Festival could be a life-changing opportunity to
perform amongst the very best and to sample ‘the jewel of
Atlantic Canada’ and all that the Province has to offer.”
TORONTO CANADA: MATT ANDERSEN WINS THREE MAPLE LEAF BLUES AWARDS
C
anadian Blues Artist from Coast-to-Coast were honoured by their
peers at the 15 Annual Maple Blues Awards gala in Toronto last
night as a crowd of blues lovers gathered to celebrate Canadian
blues at Koerner Hall.
Ottawa’s MonkeyJunk took
three awards, including, Electric Act of
the Year, Recording of the Year and
Drummer of the Year (Matt Sobb). New
Brunswick’s Matt Andersen (who is touring in the UK in June: pic right) left with
awards for Entertainer of the Year, Acoustic Act of the Year and Male Vocalist of the
Year. Now based in Toronto, Saskatoon
native Suzie Vinnick won awards for Songwriter of the Year and Female Vocalist of the
Year.
MonkeyJunk, Andersen and Vinnick
have each had a
very successful year with national and international touring and
extensive radio airplay, giving exposure to their own talents and
further promoting Canadian blues artists as big players in the industry.
Long-time Toronto tal- ent buyer Randy Charlton and blues scholar
Rob Bowman presented the Blues With a
Feeling (Lifetime Achievement Award) to
veteran entertainer and guitarist Paul
James. James has been performing for over
four decades and is considered to be a
Canadian music icon. Toronto Blues Society President Derek Andrews and Montreal
Blues Society President Brian Slack presented the Blues Booster of the Year
award, a very special Maple Blues
Award honouring outstanding contribution to the Canadian blues music industry, to Liz Sykes, President of the Ottawa Blues
Society.
Other highlights include British Columbia’s Sabrina Weeks &
Swing Cat Bounce taking the New Artist of the Year Award, presented
by performers and Maple Blues Award nominees Bill Johnson and Rita
Chiarelli.

STEAMHAMMER – “Riding On The L&N THE BOP CATS/ “25 Years Of Rock N’ DOUG MacLEOD - There’s A Time Reference Recordings RR130
Roll”/ Ellersoul ER91201
– The Anthology” (Repertoire REP5254)
Steamhammer was one of the lesser-known bands
around the end of the 60s; they had a large following
in Europe (Germany especially) whilst remaining a
minor outfit in their native Britain. The band came
out of Worthing, and their music was strongly
blues-based, though frequently infused with the rock
sound of the time and occasionally hinting at jazz
(the title track was taken from Lionel Hampton, and
Jamaican flautist Harold McNair guested with them
– leading to them being compared to Jethro Tull).
They supported and backed Freddie King on two
European tours – take a listen to ‘Junior’s Wailing’,
‘Lost You Too’ or B.B. King's ‘You’ll Never Know’
for some clear examples of what they learned from
the Texas guitar master; but most of the guitar work
here is blues-based anyway. To hear how they
reinterpreted the blues, try the long ‘Sunset Chase’,
derived from Muddy Waters’ ‘Louisiana Blues’. I
guess you may have to be of a certain age to
appreciate all the sounds on offer here, but lovers of
that late 60s/ early 70s UK blues should find plenty
to appreciate on this nicely packaged double CD.
Norman Darwen
This Richmond, Virginia based band has been around
since the late 70s, and the “25 Years” refers to the time
span of these recordings. If the band name and CD
title are not an accurate enough description of their
style, note that the six cover songs on this set comprise
New Orleans’ Dave Bartholomew’s ‘Who Drank My
Beer’, Warren Smith’s (via Robert Gordon) ‘Red
Cadillac’, The Rolling Stones’ ‘Ventilator Blues’ from
Exile On Main St., a rocking zydeco-styled version of
Dave Alvin’s ‘Marie Marie’, Johnny Cash’s number
‘Get Rhythm’ and George Jones’ (and others’) up
tempo country hit ‘The Race Is On’. Roots rocking,
strutting, bopping, jumping and jiving in other words!
The band originals are very much in keeping with a
vintage rock approach and they also have a neat way
with the blues - try the aforementioned ‘Who Drank
My Beer’ or the Wolf-ish ‘Ventilator Blues’; ‘Sweet
Thing’ sounds like the early Stones too. Johnny Cash's
classic comes across like a supercharged Chuck Berry,
and the original ‘On A Roll’ which follows is similarly
bluesy and rocking. So yes, if you can track this CD
down, it is definitely recommended!

Dubb (as he is known to his fans) is a multiple
nominee in the Blues Music Awards (formerly the WC
Handy awards) and is on the current list of nominees
for acoustic musician of the year. No in the lats of the
judges, this one will do his profile no harm at all when
it comes to next year’s nominations.
The tracks, which include Denny Cray (bass) and
Jimi Bott (drums) were laid down in (to use Dubb’s
words) “A huge sound stage …in California…We all
sat round in a circle. We didn’t use headphones. .We
recorded live…”
Well, it shows. The sound is dynamic and the
ambience is audible. The songs, all written by
MacLeod himself, are super, ranging from the
delightful Black Nights, a song about , the feeling that
comes when you can’t understand what’s going on
with the one you love, to the laugh-out-loud Dubb’s
Talking Religion, a talking blues about MacLeod’s
real life meeting with a ‘rather zealous fella’ and their
fervent discussion about the Bible.
Twelve outstanding tracks, with no overdubbing
which (if we gave them) deserves five stars out of
five. Go for it!

JACK WHITE RELEASES OBSCURE

says he will make no profit by
releasing a huge catalogue of prewar and country blues on his own

The former White Stripes

“I had been looking for Blues records when I
set up in Austria in 1986, but is was a teenager and the older ones seemed to have
now owned by husband and wife been kinda swallowed up," he explained
Gary and Gillian Atkinson, who run it
from their house in Scotland.
"They were few and far between and the 78s
were non-existent."
"At one point in Detroit a whole Blues
collection was dropped off at this vintage record
store, so that's when I first bought a whole batch of
Document records - Tommy Johnson, Ishman
Bracey, Roosevelt Sykes… I'd never seen those
records on vinyl before."
If it breaks even, we're lucky - if not, it doesn't
really matter”
White believes the importance of the vast back
catalogue, which includes recordings by
Mississippi Blues artist Charley Patton - regarded
as the founder of the Delta Blues - cannot be
underestimated.
"It's this amazing time period where lots
of different things came together," he said.
"The [1930s] Depression’s hitting,
newly-started record companies were trying to sell
records to urban people, and then they decided
'Why don't we sell records to black people in the
south too? We need to record the music that they
like'.
"So they brought a lot of these Blues
musicians up to Chicago and Wisconsin to record
and they were recording the first moments of
modern music.
"This was the first time in history that
a single person was writing a song about themselves
and speaking to the world by themselves. A man
with a guitar or a woman singing by herself
acappella.
"A lot of these records were just ignored
once more popular music came along in the '40s.
The Big Band era started and the war started and
people kinda forgot about a lot of these Blues
musicians.
"Those musicians had become janitors,
going back to farming, and [the record companies]
had to go down to see if they could still discover
these people."
White admitted some of the material
was an acquired taste, which even he had difficulty
warming to initially.
"When I first heard Charley Patton I
didn't like it - I didn't like it 'til the third time I
listened to it and then it just exploded for me and
I'm in love with the man and everything he wrote.
"So it's a harder sell if you're trying to
run a record company that wants to turn a profit
"At Third Man Records, we don't really
care. We just want to create things that we want to
see exist and if it breaks even, we're lucky - if not,
it doesn't really matter."
All of the recordings will be re-released
on re-mastered vinyl, with White adding: "I think
it's the most reverential format because you're very
involved, you're dropping the needle yourself,
you're part of the mechanics of the music.
"When we pop this iPod on we don't
really see any moving parts, so it's not very
romantic to us, it just becomes a machine, like a
microwave or something. You don't really know
why it's working, you just know when the food's
hot."

THE LAST WORD:
A SORT OF BiTS EDITORIAL
We are, of course delighted that someone with a profile as high as Jack White, has seen fit to support the transfer (and
promotion) of the archives at Document Records to vinyl. We wish him the very best of luck with that project. But (you
knew there was going to be a but didn’t you?) If he wants to bring classic blues music to a wider (and younger) audience
why not assist some of the number of blues researchers, for example Pete Lowry who we know has material enough for
nearly 80 albums of music embedded in a decade's worth of field recordings, to publish their stuff. Those who know the
Trix material know how good the quality of such stuff can be, aurally and otherwise! In addition what is this current
obsession with vinyl? People claim it’s because of the need to ‘feel’ something and delight in the look of an artefact. But
LPs, get scratched, you have to turn them over to play ‘the other side’ and although some of the liner-notes were/are
wonderfully informative, much can be done within a decent. Multi-page booklet.
Of course, you may have a different view. If you have, why don’t you email me at [email protected] . I’d be
delighted to publish your comments.
