Wild Tchoupitoulas Big Chief Got A Golden Crown
Просмотров 150 тыс.15 лет назад
One of my all time favorite albums, the Wild Tchoupitoulas was founded by George Landry aka Big Chief Jolly. Released in 1976, it was also the start of the formation of Landry's nephews, the Neville Brothers, Art, Charles, Aaron & Cyril, respectively. The instrumentation was provided mainly by the Meters, Art & Cyril Neville, Leo Nocentelli, George Porter Jr., & Joseph "Zigaboo" Modeliste. The ...
Richard Thompson Blackleg Miner
Просмотров 62 тыс.15 лет назад
An English folk song, of unknown authorship. Written somewhere between the late 1800s and early 1900s. The term "blackleg" is older slang meaning "scab". There was a great hostility among the unionized miners towards anyone who chose to cross their striking lines. This song is from Richard Thompson's 1000 Years Of Popular Music. While I have not heard the album in it's entirety, I have seen the...
Geaux Big Chief!!!

Thank god Thatcher’s dead.

Ramblin Jack was A hero to me because of his poetic descriptions of people and places and feelings. Few could do better and don't forget the music "Part" Yea that was pretty too.
The Album that brought Mardi Gras Indians to the world.

Love this! Will always treasure meeting Ramblin'Jack on the Cowboy Train and having a chat with him. He told me about sailing the Bras d'or Lakes in 83!
No umbauh don't know how.
Here come the Injuns, let um thru.
RIP, Big Chief Jolly Landry, Big Chief Tootie Montana, and all the Uptown Rulers, who have passed, this way.
Steeleye Span did a great version of this song way way back on their “Hark the Village Wait” album. The album they recorded with Gay and Terry Woods. Terry had earlier played with “Sweeney’s Men” and later went on to join “The Pogues”.
SAY HEYYYY..MY BIG CHIEF GOT A GOLDEN CROWN..MY SPY WONT RUN AND FLAG WONT KNEEL IM THE BIG CHIEF WITH A HEART OF STEEL...SAY HEYYYYYY TWO WAY POCKEY WAY MY BIG CHIEF....DONT NOBODY RUN DONT NOBODY BOW WE WILD TCHOUCHPITOULAS AND DONT KNOW HOW.🤘🖤💙✌Love
NOLA is probably one of the most magical cities that I have ever visited... No judgement, super-friendly, with great music of all kinds, and amazing food! And every resident there feels like an old friend!
Went there are few times in the late 90s and early 2000s, all before Katrina. What amazing food, what energy. Just wonderful peak experiences. I keep meaning to go back, to see how it is today. Oh well. sending good vibes to NOLA.
This really fills in the blanks of listening to the Neville Brothers album, "Fiyo on the Byo."
I worked in mines in Northumberland between 1968 and 1972. The Seghill mine headgear was still in place at that time, although the mine had closed. I sometimes perform this song myself.
Anyone else think this sounds a bit like Galway girl...
Galway Girl is pure pastiche. There must be something 'right place, right time' to explain Ed Sheeran's superstar status because he'd if he'd started in 1970 he'd have had to give up the busking and get a proper job!
I commented on that 2 years ago, I guess I should have said...Isn't Galway Girl a rip off of this ...And yes you absolutely right about ES...When I listened to Mumford & Sons or as I like to call them ..Twats with Banjos I thought almost the same thing..
Awesome 😊
saw steeleye play this in the midst of the miners strike against thatcher. I defy anyone who was there to tell me folk music has no relevance!
The song originated in County Durham, England, the locations of Seaton-Delaval and Seghill are mentioned as are gruesome punishments for the strike-breaking miner at those places. The song was written in Northumbrian dialect, perhaps as far back as 1844 but there have been many strikes since then. A hundred years later it was sung on the picket lines in the strike of 1984-85. BTW: The Seaton Delavel mine closed in 1960 and Seghill in 1965 over a century after the song is supposed to have appeared.
1844 miners ;lockout I think is its origins
Ryans fancy sing a good version.
Seghill and Seaton-Delaval were in Northumberland when I was working up there digging coal. The Seghill pithead gear was still in place circa 1969 and I lived quite close. My address was No 1 Old Moor Shaft Cottage.
Big Chief with a golden crown? does he have rings on his fingers? lol
Hey pocky way!
sounds like guy Clark
Jake J Ranblin' Jack sings the 1st and 3rd verses and Guy sings the 2nd verse. It's from a Ranblin' Jack album called 'with friends' I believe.
Merci pour le partage! So pretty ouais
My Pa started mining coal in the '20s as a youngster in Cessnock in the Hunter Valley. He had maybe 6 years education. He was, as a 17 year old., the 10,000 strong protest march, led by the Kurri Kurri pipe band, after the police killed miner Norman Brown in '29 at the Rothbury pit. Imagine the sight of those fine men, 10,000 of them. We will likely never see such tough workers again. Remember them. Solidarity. Workers of the world are brothers and sisters. By Schiller in german: Alle menschen werden bruder.
Interestingly many of the foremen were worse then the bosses. They truly drove the men into the black grave.
Let us all help to speed the day when this wonderful earth and its rich resources are held in common for the benefit of all humanity. One race the Human Race.
You're that tough, sir, you just need a cause.
Toranaboy634 - I looked after a lovely lady from the Welsh valleys whose father was a miner and involved in Union issues from early on. She told me that the work her father did was so physically destructive that herself and her younger sister would have to go to the pit entrance to fetch him home each day: years of spending every day bent double and standing in water had led to him having to be literally carried home; they would each take an arm and drag him back home - they were young teenagers at the time. My point is that whilst I agree that we should celebrate the amazing bravery of these men and women (remember women also worked down the pits - and children too), and their solidarity in rising up against oppression, we should be careful not to glorify the work itself.
Glück auf! Greetings to all Miners. A special thanks to all the significant others of the brave men. You keep them grounded - or better "uplifted"
Two chords and a groove I could ride all night. Thanks for posting! It makes it easy to share with my fellow musicians in preparation for a little Mardi Gras event here in California.
truth!
Fraternal greetings from an ex Durham coal miner. workers of all lands unite.
Yeah, think I'll go ahead and take a rip to this
Spy boy in the house..Git DA hell out DA way..
I am a Miner till I die, My first strike was in 1972, Second in 1974, and the last one in 1984/85.......We didn't want to know the Politics of Scargill and Maggie. We just wanted to save our jobs.......The Liberals and Torys are taking the Country back to the 1800 hundreds where the workers were afraid to say Boo to the Bosses. Keep the people down and they won't answer back.......
Working men and women of all lands unite.
Trouble with folk singers is that they put on folky accents & ruin a good song.
I've been listening to Thompson sing for over 40 years and thats the way he always sounds not sure what you are on about. Terry and Gay Woods did a really great version of this was back when he had just left Sweeneys Men God alone knows when that was very early 70's
terri purcell fucking hell your abit behind the times arnt you? not found any different music? boring
Considering it's a song over 100 years old, still don't really get your problem. If you don't like it don't listen to it
SixString Samurai there isnt a British or English accent
+Benn Yisrael You're a tool
"... What force leads a man To a life filled with danger High on seas or a mile underground? It's when need is his master And poverty's no stranger, And there's no other work to be found..." -- Silly Wizard
Can't think of many people who work as hard as miners. Good song
This has been one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE ALBUMS since it came out.
I'm late to the party but I'm ALL ABOUT THIS WHOLE ALBUM!!! Lol
This is one of my favorite songs. I was born in West Virginia, and I love mining songs. It's hard to find people that do justice to this music. This guy nails it.
Marvelous version on "The blackleg miner" first heard Gay and Terry Woods do it with "The Woods Band" way back when, strong and all as their version was Thompsons version is far better. It's great to hear him do it live, having said that nearly everything is great to hear Thompson do live.
Actually the first time I heard this song was on a programme on the BBC early on a Saturday morning. The programme was for kids and used the song to try to explain the strikes and bitterness that came from them. The song stuck in my head till I heard RT dong this.
been listening to this for almost 20 years. ain't tire yet! Wild Tchoupitoulas gon stomp some rump
the man who taught bob dylan everything he knows
I want to hear My Indian Red but by them
love it!!!!
Please post "Indian Red" if possible. Tomorrow is Fat Tuesday - make my day.
actually, i agree with you. folk music is always limited in school curricula and usually to stuff that nobody could possibly really like. and it puts people off folk music for life.
As far as I recall, industrial folk music doesn't figure in school curricula.......Cecil Sharp and Vaughan Williams were barely aware of it!
Enjoyed listenin'!!
What a great tune performed by two great legends!!
So true.
Great stuff and that "1000 years of Popular music" should be on the school crariculam
Richard Thompson makes me smile and want to cry....he is amazing!
