I Ain't Gonna Be Worried No More 1929-1941

2004-09-07 -- 5/5:: The Real Thing
Great stuff... I was so thrilled to hear the original versions of two songs (Someday Baby Blues and Floatin' Bridge) that I've been playing for the last zillion years, I just couldn't stop listening for a whole day. To tell the truth, when I first listened to Eric Clapton's version of Floatin' Bridge, I had thought that it had something to do with the floating bridge of an arch-top acoustic of hollow-body electric guitar!

In any case, the vocals are strong, the guitar is great and the recording (or remastering) quality is even better. Well, that is, it is much better than some remasters that I have listened to. The "less is more" approach of Estes once again proves that you don't have to perform left-hand acrobatics on the neck to play the blues. On the contrary, the sound always comes first, one note could do much more to bring tears to your eyes rather than 64 1/64 notes crammed into a second.

If you like acoustic blues, this is definitely a must for your shelf.

2004-01-25 -- 5/5:: Magnificent Tennessee blues
Bringing together 23 songs recorded between 1929 an 1941, "I Ain't Gonna Be Worried No More" is as close to a definitive retrospective of Sleepy John Estes's music as possible. Virtually all of his best songs are here, varied, inventive tunes featuring pseudo-autobiographical lyrics loaded with evocative imagery.

The period covered by this CD was John Adams Estes' best and most creative, cathing him at the height of his considerable powers. He usually recorded with a jug band, which gave his music a great variety of textures...mandolin player James "Yank" Rachell and harpist Hammie Nixon are prominent on most of these songs, and Estes is occationally backed by piano and second guitar as well.

Big Bill Broonzy called Estes' singing style "crying" because of his emotional delivery and light tenor voice, but there is nothing morose or self-pitying about John Estes' music. It swings with a loose, relaxed feel that isn't heard on many prewar blues records, and it is some of the most melodic acoustic blues you'll ever hear.
"I Ain't Gonna Be Worried No More" contains all-time classic blues tunes like "The Girl I Love, She Got Long Curly Hair", "Someday Baby Blues", and "Diving Duck Blues", as well as the title track, "Every Ought To Make A Change", "Drop Down Mama", "Clean Up At Home", and the frighteningly realistic "Floating Bridge".
Acoustic country blues doesn't get any better than this.

1999-12-13 -- 5/5:: Country Blues String Band Style
It's not often that you get to hear old blues artists within a band setting. Usually it's just one guy and his acoustic guitar. What sets Mr. Estes' blues apart is the inclusion of mandolin, harmonica, fiddle, and occasional piano. His own guitar picking and his, dare I say, cute voice, make this CD irresistable. The music is catchy and the thoughtful lyrics are easily decipherable. As far as I'm concerned, no blues collection is complete without this CD.

Sleepy John Estes Led Zeppelin - Custard Pie

"Custard Pie" is the first track on English rock band Led Zeppelin's sixth album, Physical Graffiti, released in 1975. The lyrics to the riff-heavy song pays homage to the blues songs of the Robert Johnson era; specifically "Drop Down Mama" by Sleepy John

...More

Estes, "Shake 'Em On Down" by Bukka White, "I Want Some Of Your Pie" by Blind Boy Fuller and "Custard Pie Blues" by Brownie McGhee. The song contains somewhat difficult-to-comprehend lyrics, but, like several other songs on the album, they are full of sexual innuendo. In this case, "Custard Pie" refers to a woman's sexual organs and the song is rife with references to oral sex: "Your custard pie, yeah, sweet and nice / When you cut it mama, save me a slice", as well as "chewin' a piece of your custard pie". "Custard Pie" contains a wah-wah solo by guitarist Jimmy Page, which was played through an ARP synthesizer. It also features an electric clavinet played by John Paul Jones and a mouth harp by vocalist Robert Plant. Some observers have pointed out that it displays some similarities in sound to "Whole Lotta Love" from Led Zeppelin II, which was itself heavily influenced by the blues song "You Need Love" written by Willie Dixon. Despite being rehearsed for Led Zeppelin's 1975 US Tour, this track was never completely played live at Led Zeppelin concerts. However, on 21 May 1977 in Houston, Texas, Robert and Jimmy did very briefly perform Custard Pie during the acoustic set.

Led Zeppelin - Hats Off to (Roy) Harper Copyright - 1970 Atlantic Records "Hats Off to (Roy) Harper" is a song played by English rock band Led Zeppelin. It is the last track on the album Led Zeppelin III, released in 1970. The track features Jimmy P

age playing slide guitar, and Robert Plant's vocals, processed through a tremolo. The song was listed on the album as "Arranged by Charles Obscure," which was a humorous pseudonym for Page. The song is a medley of fragments of blues songs and lyrics, including "Shake 'Em on Down" by Bukka White and "Lone Wolf Blues" by Oscar Woods. Therefore, the song is both a tribute to contemporary folk singer Roy Harper and the influential American blues singers who recorded in the 1960s. Roy Harper is a folk singer from England whom Jimmy Page met at the Bath Festival in 1970. He became close friends of the band, who invited him to perform as the opening act on some later Led Zeppelin concert tours. In 1971, Page played on Harper's album Storm#@!&, appearing in the credits under the pseudonym "S. Flavius Mercurius." Harper would go on to perform the lead vocals on Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar", from 1975's Wish You Were Here. In 1985, Page recorded an album with Harper called Whatever Happened to Jugula?. "Hats Off to (Roy) Harper" begins with a strange audio snippet from the sessions which is quickly introduced and then faded out again, featuring Plant's voice and Page's slide guitar in tandem. An alternate studio outtake of the track in the same style and similar instrumentation is available on some Led Zeppelin bootleg recordings. Likely from the same recording session as the official release, it features lyrics from the songs "Feel So Bad," (recorded by Otis Rush and Elvis Presley), Robert Johnson's "Traveling Riverside Blues" & "32-20 Blues", Sleepy John Estes' "Diving Duck Blues", Bukka White's "Fixin' To Die", and Elvis' "That Alright Mama." These songs were frequently performed in medley by the band at Led Zeppelin concerts during "How Many More Times" and, later, "Whole Lotta Love." Thus, this outtake perhaps gives insight into the inspiration for the track, a desire to lay down an acoustic, studio take of a staple of their live performances. However, Led Zeppelin never performed "Hats Off to (Roy) Harper" live in concert. Lyrics: When I done quit hollerin' baby, I believe I'll shake 'em on down Get my babe, won't be late, You know by that I mean seconds late Ah, must I holler, Must I shake 'em on down, Well I've been mistreated, babe, I believe I'll shake 'em on down. Well I ain't no monkey. I can't climb no tree, No brown skin woman gonna make no monkey out of me, I ain't no monkey, Sure can't climb no tree, I been mistreated babe I believe I'll shake 'em on down, Well I've been mistreated babe I believe I'll shake 'em on down. Listen mama, Put on your mornin' gown' Put in your nightshirt Mama we gonna shake 'em down Must I holler? Must I shake 'em on down? Gave my baby a twenty dollar bill, If that don't get her, Sure my shot, shot, shot-gun will, Yeah, I gave my baby a twenty dollar bill, If that don't get that woman, I'm sure my shot-gun will.

by "The Jazz Appreciation Society" and features Sleepy John in typical form and accompanied by Hammie Nixon on harmonica. Born John Adam Estes, to a sharecropper family in Ripley Tennessee on the 25th. Jan. 1904, his life was complicated from the start. One of a family of ten, at the age of six he lost his right eye in a baseball accident. As his father was a guitarist, he grew up with similar interests and made himself cigar-box guitars to play from the early days. He went totally blind in 1950, and had gained the sobriquet "sleepy" from a chronic blood pressure disorder which led to fits of narcolepsy, which caused him to drop off to sleep without warning, sometimes standing up! He was "rediscovered" during the blues revival in 1962, after a long and varied career through the 1920's and 30's. He died on the 5th. June 1977

he BBC on June 16, 1969 for Chris Grant's Tasty Pop Sundae show during the band's U.K. Tour of Summer 1969, being broadcast on June 22, 1969. The song eventually found its way onto the Led Zeppelin album BBC Sessions, released in 1997. This is the only known performance of the song by the band, as no other audio do#@!&ent has been unearthed of it being performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts. The guitar riff played by Jimmy Page that drives this song is very similar to Bobby Parker's 1961 song "Watch Your Step," which charted in the US and the UK. It is also very similar to that played by Page on the later Led Zeppelin track "Moby Dick", released in October 1969 on the album Led Zeppelin II.
