Dark Shadows

Wiki Says: Dark Shadows is an American gothic soap opera that originally aired weekdays on the ABC television network, from June 27, 1966, to April 2, 1971. The series became hugely popular when vampire Barnabas Collins (Jonathan Frid) appeared a year into its run. Dark Shadows also featured werewolves, zombies, man-made monsters, witches, warlocks, time travel, and a parallel universe. A small company of actors each played many roles; indeed, as actors came and went, some characters were played by more than one actor. Major writers included Art Wallace, Malcolm Marmorstein, Sam Hall and Gordon Russell.

Dark Shadows was distinguished by its vividly melodramatic performances, atmospheric interiors, memorable storylines, numerous dramatic plot twists, unusually adventurous music score, and broad and epic cosmos of characters and heroic adventures. Now regarded as something of a classic, it continues to enjoy an intense cult following.

Although the original series ran for only five years, its scheduling as a daily daytime drama allowed it to amass more single episodes during its run (1,225) than most other science-fiction/fantasy genre series produced for English-language television, including Doctor Who and the entire Star Trek television franchise.

In 2004 and 2007, Dark Shadows was ranked #19 and #23 on TV Guide’s Top Cult Shows Ever.[1][2]

Rainy Day Blues

20131015-124608.jpg

Top Left: Memphis Slim, Soul Blues. Released in ’74 on ALA, this is a great compilation of Slim’s finer works.  A protege to Big Bill Broonzy, Slim was a dark, passionate blues player with a crisp voice and an impeccable key player. Tracks to note; “Lonesome”, “Big Bertha”, and “One Man’s Mad”.

Bottom Left: The James Cotton Band, 100% Cotton.  Released in ’74 on Buddah Records.  Cotton began his professional career playing the blues harp for the notorious Howlin’ Wolf’ in the early 1950s. After a few solo releases, he formed the Jimmy Cotton Blues Quartet in early ’64, then The James Cotton Band in 1970.  Tracks to note, “Burner”, “Creeper Creeps Again”, and “Boogie Thing”.

Top Right: Bobby Bland, Here’s The Man.  Repress from Duke Records in ’75 of Bland’s 1962 studio album, in rough shape but a rare find.  Notable tracks, “Jelly Jelly Jelly” and “Stormy Monday Blues”.

Bottom Right: John Lee Hooker, Detroit Special. Volume 5 of Atlantic Records “Blues Originals” series, released in 1972. Recordings on this album took place in ’53 and ’61. Slight warp but a great play.  Tracks to note, “Misbehaving Baby” and “I Aint Got Nobody”.
