Barrence Whitfield: Coolest Conversation 07-31-2015

So, this one is special to me.  I first saw Barrence Whitfield and the Savages perform in the 1980s and I have loved Barrence and his music ever since. Led by Barrence and long-time guitarist Peter Greenberg, the Savages put on a full-assault rock and roll attack every time. Describing their sound is never easy. The Savages build their sound on a garage band foundation, adding old-time rock and roll, hard rocking rhythm and blues, soul, and whatever else works to create the classic Savages sound. And at the heart of it all is the Savages full-throated, no-holds-barred lead singer, Barrence Whitfield. There's nothing like the Savages sound, and we discuss their sound extensively in our discussion. It was a great privledge to have the chance to talk with Barrence - a consummate musician and performer whom I have admired for so long a time.  You can learn more about Barrence at his website:  http://barrencewhitfieldsavages.com Or visit his facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/BarrenceWhitfieldSavages/ And of course, the music of the Savages is widely available on Amazon and elsewhere, including from Bloodshot Records at: https://www.bloodshotrecords.com/artist/barrence-whitfield-savages The songs you'll hear on this podcast are Pain and I'll be Home Someday, from the Savages' most recent release, Soul Flowers of Titan, as well as Mama Get The Hammer and Bloody Mary, two Savages classics. Because a great part of appreciating Barrence is the live experience, I went with the version off of the great Live Emulsified album - check it out at: https://www.amazon.com/Live-Emulsified-Barrence-Whitfield-Savages/dp/B005G6QR1E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1537635053&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=Barrence+Whitfield+Live+Emulsified I hope you enjoy my conversation with the great Barrence Whitfield!

Barrence Whitfield on HIS MUSIC!

Welcome to the extra-tangenty 50th episode anniversary of the Department of Tangents Podcast! This episode came about it a strange way. For years I have been trying to explain to people my favorite board game as a kid, Stop Thief. It had a regular cardboard square with a cartoon grid on it, and your job was to find the thief, who was still actively moving around the different stores and the outside on the street. What was different about Stop Thief was that it had a handheld scanner giving you audio clues – footsteps, doors opening, shattering glass, street noises. It was a lot of fun, and I’ve always been on the lookout for it at thrift stores. This Christmas, my wife Melissa gave me an updated version of the game released last year by Restoration Games who did a top flight job of it. The game included a quick history and mentioned that its creator, Dr. Robert Doyle, lived in Massachusetts. I got in touch with Restoration Games, and they put me in touch with Dr. Doyle, who, as it turns out, lives in the same house he has lived in since 1970, and it is stuffed with wonderful books and every new bit of communication technology you can can imagine, including a bunch of games he designed that were never released, like a handheld flight simulator, and the “suitcase computers” that contained the original electronics for Stop Thief and other games. That would have been fascinating enough on its own. What I didn’t know when I initially contacted Dr. Doyle was just how accomplished he is and in just how many fields. We start the interview going through the cliff notes of that history – PhD in Astrophysics from Harvard and consulting on the space program before helping to simplify editing for Super 8, then on to Parker Brothers where he invented Stop Thief and, the one many of my friends were excited about, Merlin. Then he created MacPublisher, the first desktop publishing program, to bring publishing to the masses. And there might not even be a Department of Tangents Podcast if Doyle hadn’t worked with Christopher Lydon in 2003 to bring radio to the Web in a form that would eventually become known as podcasting. To top it of, he is what he calls an Information Philosopher, and a strong advocate for the existence of free will. If you want to follow up on what Dr. Doyle is doing now, his books and lecture series, you can find that at www.informationphilosopher.com. There’s a lot more coming, so stay tuned. Our featured track for this episode is called, appropriately enough, “Let’s Go To Mars.” It comes to us from Barrence Whitfield and the Savages from their upcoming album, Soul Flowers of Titan, which is out on Bloodshot Records March 2. You can find out more about him and the new album at www.BarrenceWhitfieldSavages.com. 00000000 00000210 000007B0 00000000007D10C0 00000000 00715854 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
