CLARENCE ""GATEMOUTH"" BROWN In Concert

23-Jan-03

Music Video Distributors and In-Akustik are pleased to announce the home viewing release of Clarence ìGatemouthî Brown In Concert for North American distribution on DVD. In the words of veteran performing artist Clarence ""Gatemouth"" Brown, once nicknamed the ""San Antonio Ballbuster,"" ""There are just three great musical traditions in America: blues, jazz, and country."" And that's where Clarence Brown is right at home - in the midst of it, somewhere between one style and the next. Brown is a veritable quick-change artist: From Kansas City jazz to ""dirty"" blues and Texas swing, he has mastered nearly every roots genre imaginable. An incredibly versatile musician with over 50 years of stage experience, Brown will simply not fit into the ""bluesman"" pigeonhole. His music is a declaration of love to the Mississippi Delta and bayou country. Brown says: ""I think we've captured the feeling of what it's like to live in the Delta."" Despite all those long-snouted, toothy reptiles, he maintains: ""Louisiana is one of the few places left in America where people and nature live together in peace."" And, one might add, a place where different musical currents flow together, harmoniously enriching one another. Clarence ""Gatemouth "" Brown has been showing us how for the past fifty years. This performance was filmed at Ohne Filter Studio in Germany on November 9th, 1995. Tracks include:Bits And Pieces There You Are Early In The Morning Take The A-Train Long Way Home Honky Tonk C Jam Blues Stop Time Born In Louisiana Mojo Workin'
