When Hooker retired from touring, Cupp set out on her own using Austin, Texas as her new home base. Like many other struggling, but talented musicians, she supplemented her income with a variety of day jobs. Unfortunately, I never heard of her during her lifetime and only recently discovered her by accident. It was a pleasant find.
For the first selection in this new category, I have a live recording of Vala Cupp doing a live version of Albert Collins’ “Cold, Cold Feeling.” Recorded on June 10, 1990, Cupp sang this rendition during John Lee Hooker’s set of the Chicago Blues Festival. Backed by the King Snakes, this is a great recording that showcases her unbelievable talent. It’s too bad she never gained the fame that was equal to her incredible voice.
It is unfortunate that so many blues artist feel compelled to live the life of the lyrics they sing. Blues are a direct growth of American Jazz, met to be a "release" of life's troubles. It gives the listener and the crafter a chance to escape.
ReplyDeleteAnother important aspect is the spiritual nature of the blues. Many known blues compositions have been direct adaptations of southern gospel. Hence, the uplifting nature of "the blues".
So true Ron, so true.
