Episode #11- Labor Day Special: "Unwieldy Hammers, Big Boss Men and Mining Disasters"

09/07/20 • 82 min

In honor of Labor Day, this episode of the Old, Dingy Jukebox features songs revolving around the theme of work. I had a great time going through my records and finding a variety of songs from different styles, across different eras, that deal with a variety of experiences relating to work, employment and money. Looking through the discography, the first thing that stands out is the eclectic set list. From early blues, country music, and folk songs, to truckin songs and instrumental breakdowns, there’s something for everyone. The show’s breadth deals with lighthearted compositions as well as those of a more hard hitting nature. Hope you enjoy the show and please share with friends and family.

Episode #12- Down Home Music: Chris Strachwitz & Arhoolie Records

Send us a text

This episode of the Old, Dingy Juke Box features some of my favorite tracks from the great record label, Arhoolie Records. This great record label had a great impact on my musical development and music tastes when I was younger. It still does, and I often marvel at the great and varied output to be found on Arhoolie records. Founded by Chris Stachwitz in 1960, Arhoolie records was started out as an extension of Chris’ love for hunting down old 78rpm records of down home, traditional styles of music. Over the years Chris recorded many types of musicians in a wide variety of ethnic styles. Blues, Cajun, Zydeco, Jazz, Conjunto, Norteno, Western Swing, Country, Gospel and Klezmer are some examples of the styles Chris recorded and released on his label over the past four decades. Many of the musicians were often recorded on their “home turf” in beer joints, churches, front porches, gatherings, living rooms and dance halls. The records released on Arhoolie represent a fascinating snapshot into the deep and wide well of American vernacular music styles and are truly a national treasure.
I hope you enjoy the show and please share the podcast and episode with friends and family.
