Editorial review
Bob Koester's Chicago-based Delmark Records hasn't always reflected his personal tastes, but it has always reflected his philosophy. From the 1950s to the 2000s, Koester has generally believed in supporting indie jazz and indie blues -- in other words, the sort of jazz and blues artists who major labels tend to neglect. Although Koester never really cared for avant-garde jazz -- his personal preferences are blues and very straight-ahead bop, swing, and Dixieland -- he's been great about documenting Chicago's AACM artists because he sees them as part of the indie music culture. The Delmark Sessions isn't a typical Delmark release; Frank Morey isn't jazz, and he isn't a blues artist per se (although he does provide the occasional blues-rock gem). Rather, the guitar-playing singer/songwriter favors a very bluesy, gritty approach to folk-rock and roots rock -- The Delmark Sessions is the sort of CD that would be more typical of Rounder or Flying Fish than Delmark. And yet, it is faithful to Delmark's history in that it is great indie roots music. Morey has a throaty, hoarse, rough-edged vocal style that recalls early Tom Waits and also underscores his appreciation of Chicago blues icon Howlin' Wolf -- The Delmark Sessions isn't dominated by the sort of 12-bar offerings that one finds on Wolf's CDs, but Morey is obviously well aware of Wolf's vocal style. He also has a healthy appreciation of early rock & roll -- and of course, rock & roll is a term that one will seldom hear in connection with a Delmark release. But again, Morey has such a rootsy, bluesy, rugged spirit that he does, in fact, belong on Delmark. If The Delmark Sessions is a rare example of Koester's label putting out a rock-friendly disc, it is a highly rewarding example. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Morey doesn't know it, but he's about to create the new Urban American Folk Music!
It's folk music like blues was the folk music of postwar Chicago.
By Dave Palmeter
WUMB 91.9 FM Radio
Folk Music has gotten a bad reputation. Much of it is boring. So whether you think of it as overly artful recreations of medieval ballads or the overly thoughtful pondering of a poet, this ain't that kind of folk music. It has more to do with songs from the jukebox that made you rock. It's folk music like jazz was the folk music of Storyville. It's folk music like blues was the folk music of postwar Chicago. It's folk music like rap is the folk music of gangsta wannabes. This is the folk music of post industrial mill town America, of the people displaced when downtown became gentrified. This is grab-a-boilermaker-after-work folk music. This is put-down-the-pool-cue-and-listen folk music, music you can dance to and even listen to the words. And you should.
