Whitehorse makes their return to the early days of : :' electric blues with the second instalment of a project that ': ,: melds original grooves and melodies with the duoÆs steamy, :, : swampy, squalling approach. ThereÆs foreplay, foreboding, fever : :' and Fenders ù plenty of them ù with cuts from HowlinÆ Wolf, ': ,: Willie Dixon, Jimmy Reed, Slim Harpo and more. :, : : :' ôBlues gave rock ænÆ roll its nerve. It breaks, bends and ': ,: distorts rules,ö offers Melissa McClelland, one half of the duo. :, : ôThis sense of abandon, emotional and musical urgency trickled : :' into all forms of modern day music. There would be no Cardi B ': ,: without Lucille Bogan. There would be no Tom Waits without :, : HowlinÆ Wolf and there would be no Stones without any of it.ö : :' ': ,: On opener ôWhoÆs Been TalkinÆö (1957), Luke Doucet serves up a :, : hearty White Falcon slice of love and respect for HowlinÆ Wolf : :' and his right-hand man, guitar hero Hubert Sumlin, while ': ,: melodica and Wurlitzer wind around the deft dance of the lyrics. :, : ôThe nuance of simultaneously accepting responsibility and : :' accusing a lover of doing him wrong was very subtle,ö says ': ,: Doucet. ôItÆs a rabbit hole of contrition.ö :, : : :' From there, Whitehorse gets loose and languid with a Jimmy Reed ': ,: via J.J. Cale take on ôBaby What You Want Me To Doö (1959). With :, : a few Gretsch squelches for good measure, WhitehorseÆs tribute : :' to ReedÆs laid-back minimalism and melody mastery moves along ': ,: no faster than a Sunday morning. :, : : :' An exercise in subtlety it is not: WhitehorseÆs version of Slim ': ,: HarpoÆs ôBaby, Scratch My Backö (1965) is a lap dance, an :, : unapologetically erotic, red-hot take. With McClelland on lead : :' vocals upending the original dynamic, WhitehorseÆs version is ': ,: one of female desire and pleasure. Less girls gone wild, more :, : sexual intellectual. : :' ': ,: Next up is ôI Just Wanna Make Love To Youö (1954), a Willie :, : Dixon original given a Jon Spencer Blues Explosion-inspired : :' treatmentùMcClellandÆs idea. ôIt would be impossible to top ': ,: Etta JamesÆ steaming vocal, so I suggested we turn ourselves :, : into a garage rock band, a little scrappier, punchier and live : :' off the floor.ö ': ,: :, : From a turbulent, direful crackling rapture to a haunting, minor : :' key requiem, The Northern South Vol. 2 goes further back in ': ,: time with two traditional gospel blues selections, ôJohn The :, : Revelatorö and ôSt. James Infirmary.ö The latter features one of : :' the EPÆs highlights: a righteous noisescape outro from ': ,: McClelland, played on DoucetÆs Les Paul. ôJohn the Revelator was :, : an interesting song to delve into,ö says McClelland. ôWe liked : :' the intensity of the end of times bible story but we wanted it ': ,: to tell a more current, relevant tale. With some new words, we :, : touch on the end of days issues that feel pressing to us: global : :' warming, the Trump presidency, consumerism, and religion ': ,: itself.ö :, : : :' Both snapshot and slingshot,The Northern South Vol. 2 cycles ': ,: back and careens forward, taking a twelve-bar trip through the :, : chart-toppers of the era. ôThese arenÆt deep cuts, they are the : :' Top 40, the pop hits of the blues world, what was happening at ': ,: the time,ö explains Doucet of the song selection process. ôThese :, : songs spoke to the basics. They communicated simple truths and : :' realities in ways that transcended boundaries.ö ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 9 \/
