Pretty sure I've mentioned the Hoodoo Men - Bill Steber and Sammy Baker - before, but now I'm happy to say that Bill and Sammy will be opening my 2024-25 UTC Live! season with a HooDoo Men Halloween show. Actually, Bill will be on campus all week as he is an award-winning photojournalist who has been documenting Mississippi Delta blues musicians and juke joints for over 30 years, sometimes using ancient tintype photographic processes.

We'll be working with our Communications students - the Rising Rock class will document him making a tintype photo of the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum's 4501 steam locomotive and the Photojournalism II students will work with him to develop some photo-stories of work in TVRRM's maintenance facility, along with speaking with a number of history, anthropology, and literature classes before working with our music composition students. Among other activities. We'll have a large part of his recent Baldwin Gallery exhibit on campus so our students get a feel for this subject.

If you're interested, here's a link to Bill's exhibit (it's now down but coming to us and then to Mississippi State for a large exhibit in the spring of 2025. The photos are amazing, plus each one has an interview or song attached to it - it's interactive: https://www.baldwinphotogallery.com/copy-of-exhibitions

And here's some info on Bill and his research, courtesy of Country Blues magazine: https://www.thecountryblues.com/artist-reviews/bill-steber/

And so you get a feel for his point of view, here's his web site. The cover photo is just killer: http://www.steberphoto.com/

Call sign is much better for others to follow since there are a pile of 93.9 stations around the world.

Having local talent is always good. Glad to see others enjoy radio broadcasts.

Local artists...well a college buddy's kid, band is REZN and they play Heavy Psych, Stoner Rock, Doom Metal, A Cosmic Doom band from Chicago. Rob, guitar and vocals, grew up in Leesburg, VA and I've been going with his family to the beach each year for over 20 years so I have watched him and his brother, two cousins grow up. Putting out 500 copies of the albums in some interesting color combos. Now touring the world warming up for some other bands. Here he is in 2007 at the beach. And their website. Get you some swag. But look up the band name as a stock symbol. They did not know. REZN | Chicago Heavy Psych

I like it but that drum sound is horrible. It’s like mid-70’s “towels on the Toms” studio sound. Horrible and doesn’t fit the overall tone of the tunes.
 
From just down the road in Lookout Mountain, GA. Fletcher Bright - who comments in the Lovell Sisters video - was one of the stalwarts of the Chattanooga/North Georgia/East TN bluegrass movement for many years. Fronted the Dismembered Tennesseeans with a high school friend who was long-time editor of one of the local papers. Great players with a real self-deprecating sense of humor.

The Lovells are great players who are going far as Larkin Poe.
