Studio Knights Releases: Bushwick Bill, the Last Studio Session (Single)

Image
Bushwick Bill, Trilla 4 Rilla, & Josh Knight (No Hands Like A Bluetooth) Album Cover Bushwick Bill (December 8th, 1966 – June 9th, 2019) I got a text from James Bembry (radio personality) on a hot May night in 2018 that said Bushwick Bill wanted to come to the studio and lay it down. He was excited to get this song laid down so we had to get on it quick. I was more than happy to open my studio home and have him and his crew lay down one of the last studio recordings that Bushwick Bill would have recorded; and first single after his passing early this summer in 2019. We were honored to have him share his creative mind-set in music and in life. He viewed everything in a poetic way… may you forever rest in peace. He said “add some of your guitar to it and get it out to the people.” I’m only sorry I didn’t get this finished sooner for you my friend, this one is for you - Bushwick Bill (May you forever be in peace my brother). Bushwick Bill -(born Richard Stephen ...

Grant Maloy Smith - Dust Bowl - American Stories

Grant Maloy Smith - Dust Bowl     Every now and then a CD comes across my listening station that is so steeped in reality you can feel the dirt, smell the hobo soup steaming, feel the rain in the air and sense the struggle as it ripens in a man or woman’s face. Grant Maloy Smith has pieced together an album he's been working on since 2014 of 13 diverse songs that have the lyrics and music as potent as Woody Guthrie , as intense as John Trudell and dusted with the trials and tribulations of Tom Joad – Steinbeck and “The Grapes of Wrath.” It’s all in the notes being played on this album: “Dust Bowl – American Stories.” Grant is not a greenhorn at this music he’s been around the barn a few times.

Another item of his work that got a Grammy entry is his art design for the “Truthmonger” Comics Group 2-CD box set with book and mini posters. What was the inspiration behind your documentary? For me it was personal – he (Lucien Leinfelder) has Parkinson's, my grandfather had Parkinson's, and the fact that I was working with my mentor’s (Art Greenhaw) mentor. With it being a personal film to Art meant that it was a personal thin...
