Bio / Background
Introduction
I was playing a small club in Martha's Vineyard, a place where musical heavies on vacation can come in and jam with the band without the pressure of being a star. That night we started out with Carly Simon seducing the house with an old John Prine number. Next Jim Belushi grabbed the mic and began slamming down his own brand of Chicago Blues. It was August. By eleven, every inch of exposed skin dripped with sweat, and the dance floor seemed to be rising and falling in time to the groove.
And then producer/bassist/engineer extraordinaire Jim Parr comes up and says, "That singer Ellen I told you about? She's here and she wants to do 'Stormy Monday.'"
Now 'Stormy Monday' has got to be one of the most over-played war-horse tunes in the house-band repertoire. It's a classic, but like so many classics it's best left alone. Unless you're a total monster, that is. And, frankly, I'd heard too many pretty-good women singers butcher the blues.
