Food For Life album

Growing up among Afro-Americans in Berkeley, CA, Greek-American Johnny Otis (born John Veliotes) always identified strongly with people of color. Before he had attained the age of 20 he was gigging with black jazz bands throughout the Southwest, and eventually organized an ensemble deliberately patterned after Count Basie's orchestra. This highly charged album of historical musical artifacts documents the very beginning ...

Food For Life songs
$12.59
This posthumous album (Frank Floyd died in 1984) stands as a tribute to the kind of talent that simply can't exist any more. Floyd came up on the now-defunct medicine show circuit, and that concept of holding and entertaining an audience shaped his music (and his patter, as is obvious from this), then recorded for Sun in 1954 -- the same year as Elvis. In spite of his name, he was more than a harmonica player; he was also a superb guitarist and a credible singer who possessed what might be called an individual way with the English language (listen to "Shoop-a-Boop-Adoodler" if you need proof). On this set, recorded live in Memphis schools and in the studio in 1979, there's a mix of plenty of originals and blues chestnuts like "Deep Elum Blues" and Howlin' Wolf's "Sittin' on Top of the World," along with very regional standards like "It Ain't Gonna Rain No Mo." The meat here is definitely in his own music, however, with songs like "The Great Medical Menagerist" and "Married Man's Blues" that seem to completely encapsulate his winning personality. Thankfully there's this and a couple of other mementos of him. ~ Chris Nickson
by Nick ToschesYou're lucky you're not from where Frank Floyd was from. I'm not talking about Toccopola in Lafayette County, Mississippi, where he was born, in the fall of 1908. I'm not talking about the backwoods of Arkansas, where he grew up before heading out on his own as a sapling boy, in 1922, to make his nightly homes in roadside ditches throughout the South. I'm talking about somewhere beyond place and time. I'm talking about nowhere. I'm talking about where the shades of the dead do their danse macabre and pass their jars of jake and meths to the living who have been drawn into the realm of those shades. You're lucky you're not from there. You're lucky that Harmonica Frank Floyd-current age: deceased-can take you there, can let you come and leave there at will. But you're lucky you're not from there. About forty-five years before Floyd was born, Charles Dickens wrote a novel called Our Mutual Friend, in which one of its characters, the poor old widow Betty Higden, comments of the foundling, Sloppy, whom she has adopted: "You mightn't think it, but Sloppy is a beautiful reader of a newspaper. He do the Police in different voices." By 1922, the year that young Floyd set out from Arkansas, T.S. Eliot had finished his draft of The Waste Land. Above the first ...
