    Fire It Up
    Steve Cropper ist eine absolute Legende aus dem Stax Records Umfeld. Wer kennt nicht den großartigen Evergreen 'Green Onions' von Booker T.& The MG's? Steve Cropper spielt die Gitarre auf diesem Hit. Der Produzent, Gitarrist und Songschreiber war an den Soul-Mega-Hits wie "Midnight Hour" von Wilson Pickett, "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" von Otis Redding, "Knock on Wood" von Eddie Floyd, "Soul Man" und "Hold On I'm Coming" maßgeblich beteiligt. Man kann nicht über Soulmusik ohne Steve Cropper sprechen. Bob Dylan engagierte Booker T. & the MG.'s als Band bei seinem 30-Jahre-Jubiläumskonzert, Eric Clapton tat das Gleiche, Neil Young nahm sie mit auf Tour und ins Studio. Als Steve das erste Mal in London war, schickten die Beatles einen Bentley für ihn. Er spielt auf John Lennons RocknRoll-Album, Frank Blacks Honeycomb- and Fast Man Raider Man-Alben und auf mehreren Alben von Ringo Starr. Er produzierte Alben von John Prine, Jeff Beck und John Cougar Mellencamp. 2011 nahm Cropper das Album Decicated: A Salute To The 5 Royales mit u.a. Steve Winwood, B.B. King, Lucinda Williams und Brian May auf. Als Gründungsmitglied der Blues Brothers brachte Steve einem ahnungslosen Publikum den klassischen Soul wieder näher - auf der Bühne, der Leinwand und auf Tonträgern. Das Magazin Rolling Stone wählte ihn unter die Top 40 der 100 größten Gitarristen aller Zeiten."Dieses Album ist anders als alles, was jetzt da draußen ist", sagt er über sein neues Album. "Es ist aus alten Grooves gemacht, die schon seit Jahren in seinem Kopf herum schwirrten." Fire It Up hat seine Wurzeln in den Sessions, zehn Jahre zurück, mit Felix Cavaliere. Sie nahmen einige einfache Tracks auf, die am Ende nicht auf Midnight Flyer passten. Diese Tracks wurden vom Album Produzenten Jon Tiven festgehalten. Cropper hat sein Album koproduziert und spielt darauf auch als GitarristFormate:CD 4 Seiten Digipack mit 8 Seiten BookletLP Ltd. 180g Vinyl schwarz mit bedrucktem Innenumschlag

    Delta Pride
    This is truly a very unique CD in many ways. First, by looking at the cover photo, this CD is dedicated to two families who were share croppers on the Swilley Farm. This photo was taken in September, 1952, across the road from the Swilley home. The cotton field in this photo was a part of the land my father acquired through share cropping. These families went on to acquire their own land through the process of share cropping. Another unique part of this CD is the writing of Bobby Joe Swilley. The lyrics tell the story of life as is was in the 1950's as a cotton farmer in the Mississippi Delta. Should you take away the instrumentation of these songs you will find beautiful poetry. In fact, the writer, Bobby Joe Swilley, even thought of poetry as a release for this project. Deeper in the music of this project you will hear the authentic voice of a real Mississippi Delta White Boy. This might be hard to understand but not for Bobby Joe. He was raised in the cotton fields in Mississippi and heard the Negro Spirituals and chants from those cotton fields and was a regular listener to the Negro Gospel Music at Truvine Church in Langford, Mississippi and his mother played the piano at the Oakdale Baptist Church in the same community for fifty years. Bobby Joe had the influences at an early age of all this music and life. So, he developed a style that includes all these different styles and is, indeed, very unique and a style you cannot learn. It is born of the South and especially the Mississippi Delta. Bobby Joe cannot put his style in one catagory of music, it is a blend of all of it, that's why it is so unique. Another part of the music written and recorded by Bobby Joe is the fact that he was inducted into the Rockabilly Hall Of Fame in 1998 but inducted as a Drummer, not a singer. In his early years, he was the studio drummer for Delta Records in Jackson, Mississippi under the direction of Jimmie Ammons. Bobby Joe recorded many songs there as a drummer and sometimes a back up vocal singer but never as a lead singer. But he had a feel for the music as a drummer and offered rhythm to the songs that gave it 'the beat'. Delta Records was a demo studio and most of the songs went on to major labels and Bobby Joe did not play on those songs. However, he is credited for many demos that the drums made a difference when presented to major record producers. Bobby Joe decided later to begin his singing career and has recorded four CD's on his own of mostly original songs and a few cover songs. Although he is the lead vocalist on this CD he is, also, the drummer. Lastly, this CD is a historical writing of life as it was in the 1950's from the view of the farmer, share cropper, cotton gin, and of course, THE MUSIC. It is a rare blend of country, gospel, rockabilly, blues, all combined with beautiful harmonies and melodies. 'Authentic Mississippi Delta Country Blues', that what it is. Hope you enjoy!
