AllenLowe

Recommended Posts

This is going to be a  NEW 31 CD survey of American song, 1900-1960  - with a book -

called:

TURN ME LOOSE WHITE MAN: OR:

APPROPRIATING CULTURE:

HOW TO LISTEN TO AMERICAN MUSIC 1900-1960

 

(it will be done by late spring 2020; I have been a little delayed by cancer treatments, but have written 20,000 words so far; song mastering is completed)

The pre-order price includes the book and shipping, at $125 ($140 to Europe). This will hold until November 1.
 
After that, and at publication, this will go up to $160 plus shipping - ($185 to Europe)

Ugh, that title is unappealing on so many levels.

sorry if it offends your sensibilities, but I ran it by a famous African American writer who loved it, calling it "audacious as hell."

And, I have had $10,000 in pre-orders. So I will take my own sense of it above yours. And the quote itself, if I need to explain, is from an early minstrel song, and placed with both intended and unintended irony. Kind of a rhetorical double consciousness (feel free to look that up).

ok. So I take it you don't want to pre-order?

Quelle surprise. But when I said the title was unappealing, that included the subtitle. In fact I have no objection to the main title in isolation. It's the SJW ultra-trendy, dead-horse-flogging concept of cultural appropriation and the smug, elitist, didactic, pedantic, offer to teach me how to do something I've been doing for my whole life that offends my sensibilities. Plus, I'm just really. really tired of race being dragged into every goddamned thing in American culture.

Full disclosure: yes, I am white. No, I did not vote for Trump.

I think I'll order this, although I, too, have reservations about the title (not only does it reek of SJW status, it's kind of amateurish).  And I'll probably never crack open the book, unless it contains discographical information.  Still, the track list looks interesting, especially the early recordings.

If you are familiar with Allens mission over the years and his previous projects, it makes sense.

You should - Allen's opinions about interrelations of American music styles are revealing.

While I have no idea about ths one yet I know you'll be missing out on plenty of interesting insights. i found the booklets to "That Devilin' Tune" very intersting, and "God Didn't Like It" too. A rather different and certainly personal but definitely fascinating perspective on the subject. It cannot hurt or read about this kind of musical history from an angle that is off the beaten tracks of the usual writings.
As for the title, I am not sure what the bone of contention is with many around here - but maybe that is because I am not from the US. I take it as a play on words (of sorts) but I am sure Allen is not one of those newbie P.C.-ish writers who find "cultural appropriation" the latest "in thing" in writing about music to blast any WHITE listener for how he DARE to deeply and genuinely embrace that music ("black" music, for example) and most everything that goes with it.

If you want to avoid preconceived SJW agendas in writing about music from decades past (note that I am using SJW with a strictly neutral connotation here), steer clear of "Swing Shift" by Sheree Tucker and "Come In and Hear The Truth" by Patrick Burke, for example. ;) (And these are just examples ... oh, and come to think of it, for all its interesting subject matter, Rashida K. Braggs' dissertation-turned-unrevised-book "Jazz Diasporas" can get grating at times too, at least the two thirds I have so far read).

Does that describe the minstrels? Pat Boone? Rock & roll in general? The relationships b/w black and white music in the US deserves to be examined; I just don't think the concept of "cultural appropriation" has any value. It's a loaded term, a term of abuse, implying theft and it's only ever leveled at white men.

No, it's not only ever leveled at white men. It's leveled at "white culture" in general, male and female alike. And if you ever want to stop the idiocy, I think you have to begin by acknowledging the point that the world (and as much of the world as has been available) economy of the last several centuries has indeed been structured in a way that benefits (and to sustain that benefit) "white people" first, sometimes intentionally, sometimes inadvertently, but still, always..

After that, there's more than plenty room for nuances (for starters, the role of not just race but gender, and the role of "divide and conquer" in terms of intra-racial as well as inter-racial power dynamics), but the longer this basic point elicits defensiveness instead of acknowledgement...that's just going to make the "conversation" louder and stupider.

All that is shifting, inevitably, McLuhan's "global village" no longer just an idea, but a hard reality. Stridency and idiocy in response to the change (either by those wishing to prevent it or those wanting to hurry it along, in both cases little more than a mob-mentality screaming MAKE IT STOP) might be inevitable, but to invest in that conversation rather than one looking at what will come next, be it in 5, 50, or 500 years seems to me the more entertaining and healthy route.

Plenty of good seats left!!!!

It's a loaded term, a term of abuse, implying theft and it's only ever leveled at white men. You'll never see Ray Charles accused of cultural appropriation for Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music. 

I do think Allen Lowe is one who is historically aware of all the stylistic cross-pollination that went on from the beginning of recorded music and has valid things to say about all the infuences that went BOTH ways without romanticizing things. And personally I don't think he will accuse anybody of anything from the "cultural appopriation" angle so much in vogue these days in certain quarters. So I dont' really know what you are getting at. Don't you realize that in your ranting you don't even see who your (purported) opponent is and who is not?

I agree with your statement above and this is one reason why I find exploring all this history of cross-pollination (some might say "crossover" before there was the term) highly fascinating. And this is part of the muiscal history that is TOTALLY different from all the "cover version" and bowdlerized white POP versions too. But again - influences e.g. between black and white "niche" music (i.e NON-pop) pre-war and early post-war went BOTH ways in many, many directions. I have no idea what your exact musical tastes are but just as one little example, let's assume you are familiar with Wynonie Harris' hits "Bloodshot Eyes" and "Good Morning Judge". Would you know offhand too that NEITHER of the two was a Harris original (or one written specifically for him) but in fact Harris COVERS of COUNTRY songs recorded before? "Cultural appropriation"? Ha!

I short, calm down and let the "cultural appropriation" agitators agitate as much as they like. After all, what was the saying about the caravan moving on again? ;) What does it matter to those of us who are aware of BOTH sides of the (musical) coin and give credit where credit is due to the ORIGINATORS (which admittedly is something the covers churned out by Pat Boone and his ilk did not - but who wants Pat Boone anyway?).

Now it seems to me that a white academic compiling a canon of--what is it, 36 CDs?--of black music and instructing us on how to listen to black music is about as perfect an example of cultural appropriation as I can think of.

Did you check the track listings close enough, I wonder? THere are PLENTY of tunes by WHITE artists there, and as far as I can tell with my spotty knowledge of 20s music both black and white, I'd say this just shows EXACTLY this cross-pollination that went on even way back then.

I understand that I'm the outsider here and everyone else seems to know and respect Allen, and I've no doubt he's forgotten more than I'll ever know about music. And I agree with you when you say you don't think he will accuse anybody of anything from the "cultural appopriation" angle so much in vogue these days in certain quarters." My point has always been that "cultural appopriation" has become such a joke that it no longer has any academic value. https://www.teenvogue.com/story/kardashian-jenners-cultural-appropriation-hair

Those might not be the best examples, since Wynonie probably never heard those songs until Syd Nathan presented them to him. Syd liked to reuse songs whose copyrights he owned. Again, I too find the "history of cross-pollination" fascinating. Just don't call it "cultural appropriation".

Here I disagree, and strongly. If you're not willing to stand up for free speech you're going to lose it. 

No, I confess didn't, but the title is Turn Me Loose White Man.

Seriously, I think your avatar affects the way people perceive you.  

As to the topic here: I think everyone should compare  the Will Bradley Trio's version of Down the Road Apiece with Amos Wilburn's and Chuck Berry's and guess who wrote it and which came first.

It's only "stealing" once it gets monetized and commoditized. Until then, it's just love doing what love do.

Oh, I'd gave it a lot of thought long before I was given the power to delete posts.

One thing I noticed was that "free speech" always seems to be a lot freer when it's being spoken from power than to it, especially when it's a demand/request to sit down and STFU.

Like I said, funny ways sometimes.
