In the coming weeks we will bring you some of the highlights of the tree. Here is one to start with, the blues artists associated with the town of Clarksdale:

We all know this born-in-Clarksdale bluesman:

But what about Brother John Sellers?

And this beautiful number from Maxwell Street Willie Davis?

And of course, if you need a copy of More Rock Family Trees you know what to do:

But what does this have to do with music, you may ask? Those familiar with the British pop show Top of the Pops know the answer.

In 1982 Dexy’s Midnight Runners were in the charts with their big hit ‘Jackie Wilson Says’. Darts was huge on TV at the time, and Jocky Wilson a household name. And who was Jackie Wilson? Not known at the BBC. The stage was set, literally, for some accidental comedy. Look out for the big black and white picture of an angelic, smiling, darts genius.

My neighbor bought Even More Rock Family Trees from the Internet. After they have used. It has made them love it so much. Because Even More Rock Family Trees can make them very easy to use, not difficult and is equipped with a durable, I’ve seen it,Even More Rock Family Trees would be to try to see what it is affordable. Compared with the property itself. Even More Rock Family Trees is durable in use. And proper manner. If you are looking for a product like this I would highly recommend Even More Rock Family Trees .

Machine-written reviewing still needs some work, it seems. But funnily enough, my neighbour did buy one as well, and he also found it very durable too. Get yours here:

Leadbelly got there early on:

And Odetta sings it how it should be:

So, who in the Trees has done justice to the song?

Not, in my humble opinion, the otherwise fab Spencer Davis Group:

And here is a short take from Journey, who happen to get a whole Tree just to themselves:

Then there’s Ken Colyer’s skiffle version with Alexis Korner:

Luckily we have Van Morrison, to bring it all back home. There’s hope after all:

And if you haven’t had enough yet, here’s Van, with Lonnie and Chris Barber, in a skiffle revival version of 2007.

but the reviews of Even More Rock Family Trees show why it is this year’s Xmas gift for the discerning rock maniac.

Five stars at Record Collector.

And in the best books of the year at Shindig Magazine.

Take a look for yourself.

Not so long ago we drew your attention to the new Creation Records film, Upside Down. Well, you can see it on BBC4 tonight at 9.00 pm and if you like it, stay tuned for Creation at the BBC, archive footage of Creation bands, and if that isn’t enough, a documentary of Alan McGee (proud owner, by the way, of number 1 in the limited edition of the Creation Records fine art print. Which, of course, appears in Pete’s new Even More Rock Family Trees).

Even More

Its here!! Well almost. Officially released on November 1st, Pete Frame’s officially long awaited Even More Rock Family Trees.

Here is Tony Bramwell, perhaps the world’s leading expert on the Beatles, checking out one of the Cavern Kids Rock Family Trees. Find any mistakes, Tony?

The prints were on their way to the Rock Family Trees exhibition at the Wilfred Owen Story. All good things come to an end, and the exhibition has now closed. Our warm thanks to Dean Johnson for hosting us, and we looking forward to hearing more about the gallery in the future.

Tony was snapped by Sally Ronchetti, who also made this wonderful video of the exhibition:

Our friends at the Wilfred Owen Gallery have special offers for you on posters and fine art prints when you visit the exhibition. A great chance to see Pete’s work in a wonderful setting.
