What's He Building In There? The Gutbuckiest Brother Alive

The AOTM was well-represented at the Fox on June 26 for the Glitter & Doom tour stop in St. Louis. Brother Funky and Brother Doowad met up with The Wad and Strange Loop enjoyed a varied and top-notch performance from the Man. This is a follow-up to the Greasy Grimy Gutbucket Artists where it was mutually decided that with Sonny Boy, Muddy, John Lee & Wolf in the Gutbucket netherworld, Mr. Waits is the greatest living creator of gutbucket. The mix? Well, the four basically just threw their favorite Waits tunes (or Waits-related tunes) in the proverbial [gut]bucket and this is what rinsed out.

Greasy Grimey Gopher Guts

The genesis of this volume was an experiment to channel both brothers back towards Gutbucket basics after a year of drifting in different directions, with only one joint venture somewhat related to the gutbucket genre. In this case, each brother set out to make a list of their absolute gutbuckiest artists, with the intent of whittling it down to the greasiest 25 each. After a week or so, Brother Funky had about 40 in his master list; Brother Do-It-All Doowad had about 94 and counting before they called time. When lists were compared, each of the brothers laid claim to their highest ranked 25. Any artist who showed up on both lists (nearly all of them, as to be expected) was assigned to whichever brother ranked them highest.

Brother Funky says: I could have tinkered with my list for months and still easily forgotten some arguably essential artists, or not been completely happy with my rankings. But I'm content enough with my final track selections to live with them.

Brother Doowad says: I did keep Brother Funky abreast of the liberties I was taking as I sequenced the mix (basically by sound, the rankings were quickly set aside) and we agreed to allow some flexibility with regards to replacements, doubling-up picks, and consolidation of artists to contribute to the overall flow. And the trade of Waits for Stones was to gutbucketry what the Rogers Hornsby-Frankie Frisch trade was to depression-era Cardinals baseball. Oh, and Doowadette (not pictured) came up with the title.

Sometimes I Will, Then Again I Think I Won'tSometimes I Do, Then Again I Think I Don't

It’s hard for me to induct Chuck Berry, because I lifted every lick he ever played!

I nicked the title on the artwork, Keef-style, from XYZ, but opted for the Reelin’ & Rockin’ title for reasons expressed below. Thanks also to Marc for the inspiration on the Mott.

Although it is not alt-dj necessarily, I have decided to post this, my own take on a Chuck Berry Tribute, under the Gutbucket Brothers Brand.

I know that AOTM has just got to have about half a million Chuck mixes, but we have pure motives.

Funky saw Chuck last month at Blueberry Hill here on the Delmar Loop in St. Louis. My dad and a friend and I just went to see the Man, also in the appropriately-named Duck Room, so I feel like shared credit is appropriate in this case.

I would describe the performance as cathartic, to say the least.

I had seen Chuck for the first time when he was still with Johnnie Johnson at the Blue Note in Columbia. I was with the Wad and since we were able to sit in the gimp section, we were right up front. Chuck even fired off a tune pointing his axe at Steve.

But he was never so animated as he was this past Friday night.

Between the duckwalk, the clowning, the solos, the broken strings, his son Charles Berry Jr. putting in some nice fills for the old man, ending it with a 10 minute jam on a ribald version of Reelin' & Rockin' that culminated with 40 gals all colors, ages, shapes and sizes (though befitting Chuck, there were a majority of young white women) boogieing on stage for him. As the chickadees cleared out of the way, Chuck moseyed off stage, still jamming, to finish his solo out in a chair in his dressing room.
Beautiful Delilah, indeed!
After Chuck was gone, his son stepped up to thank the crowd and the band. A guy yelled out “He’s the Real King” and Charles nodded in agreement.
I agree as well, but Promised Land is the perfect melding of the minds with Elvis’ cover here, which is not only the best-realized Chuck cover, but the most powerful Elvis song, period (to quote Rafael Palmiero and IMnotsoHO).
I also couldn’t help adding a couple redneck flourishes and other doowad touches.

Gutbucket Gospel

Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere,
Go tell it on the mountain, that another gutbucket is born!

Funky says: Thanks to doowad for taking some time out of, uh...making mixes to do another alt mix with me, and for suggesting we post under the "Gutbucket Brothers" moniker.

Doowad says: As easy as can be, we decided within the gutbucket guidelines there could be no limit on Tom, Bob or Steve, and plenty of John & Johnny to boot. Some of these got a little too smooth for gutbucket purity in the strictest sense, but in the end, I think the title was well-earned. It is now officially a gutbucket tradition to have Bob-Todd-Warren-Elvis, two disks in is enough of a tradition for me!

Gutbucket Delight

“I wanna get close to you, baby, as a pig is to pork…”

A collaboration with the prolific Mister doowad two discs of grit, grime, gloom, and guts. Tons of fun, this one was, and almost effortless to put together too.

Doowad says what I liked best about this collaboration is that although we alternated, there was great symbiosis, even to the point of each filling in one gap for the other.
