Barbecue Music
Americans disagree, often fanatically, on the definition of a barbecue. In Texas, where I come from, for example, it means smoking meat — most prominently brisket, sausage and ribs — “low and slow,” with indirect heat from hardwood coals; variants on this, often using different meats, are standard operating procedure in Kansas City, Memphis, the Carolinas, and other parts of the South. But to many people, barbecuing still means grilling hot dogs, hamburgers and steaks quickly over intense direct heat from charcoal briquettes. There is one thing about barbecues, however, that we can all agree on: To have a good one, you must have good music. (A swimming pool doesn’t hurt, either.) Barbecue music should be summery, rollicking and upbeat, with a deep groove. It should also be familiar to most of the guests — the better to bind them in a copacetic communal bond — though the host is advised to throw in a few left-fielders just to prove that he definitely knows his stuff. There are many songs about barbecue; to hear some, simply go to the top of this page and select “track” in the search box and the words “barbecue,” “bar-b-q” or “BBQ” in the slot next to it. You’ll get a slew of song titles. But this list ignores music about barbecue; this is barbecue music.
Willy and the Poor Boys
Artist: Creedence Clearwater Revival
Release Date: 2000
No band from the classic rock era created better barbecue music than John Fogerty and crew. Recasting their hard rockabilly as a kind of jug-band stomp, this represents their most good-timey effort — even “Fortunate Son,” one of the most biting topical songs ever, can sound kinda fun. That jug-band feeling permeates “Down on the Corner,” “Cotton Fields,” “Poor Boy Shuffle,” “The Midnight Special” — the ghost of Lead Belly also hovers over these proceedings — and even the Cold-War-paranoia allegory “It Came Out of the Sky” uses gleeful satire to make its point with a laugh.
Night Train
Artist: King Curtis
Release Date: 1995
Dilettantes used to debate whether Curtis was “really” jazz or “just” r&b, as if the two weren’t already joined at the hip. In truth, Curtis is groove, and that’s all you need to know. He yakety-yakked wooly tenor sax solos on hits by everyone from the Coasters to John Lennon to Aretha, but his own records work by cutting a fat, funky night-time-is-the-right-time groove and holding it until the last partier drops. This works just as well outdoors, especially when you’re strutting tunes like “Honky Tonk,” “Hot Saxes” and “(Let’s Do) The Hully Gully Twist” with a band that combines r&b blowers like fellow tenorman Sam “The Man” Taylor and jazzmen like organist Brother Jack McDuff.
Giant Sand – Backyard Barbecue Broadcast
Artist: Giant Sand
Release Date: 1996
A drum roll, please, for our sole high-concept selection. This was recorded partly at a backyard-barbecue benefit for WFMU in New Jersey, and audience members definitely like what they’re hearing. So you might say this music has already test-marketed high for our list. And well it should. Giant Sand, the forerunner to Calexico, hails from the desert college town of Tucson, and knows how to make hot-weather music for people in pursuit of the good life. Indeed, the 22:40 “BBQ Suite” moseys haphazardly but purposefully all over the place, like a slacker wandering around town in search of the next opportunity for free beer and food.
America’s Most Colorful Hillbilly Band – Vol. 1
Artist: The Maddox Brothers and Rose
Rose Maddox and her brothers, who ruled the West Coast country scene in the ‘40s and ‘50s, were also America’s most clattering hillbilly boogie band; with Rose singing in a near-bray, their country music approached sheer foolishness in its purest form. But it’s the kind of exuberant, irreverent foolishness any crowd can get into — and best of all, underneath the hilarity was some fiery, abandoned and daring picking. The instrumental “Water Baby Boogie” is as hot as any music in any genre of this era (1946-51), and their repertoire was wildly eclectic, taking in religious and traditional music as well as pop, novelties, blues and then-current country hits.
Moments from This Theater
Artist: Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham
Release Date: 1999
You know most of these songs in versions by everyone from the Box Tops (“Cry Like a Baby”) to James Carr (“Dark End of the Street”) and Aretha (“Do Right Woman, Do Right Man”). Now hear them done by their writers, Penn on guitar and Oldham on piano. The former proves to be a great backwoods singer, and they harmonize like brothers, which they sorta are. They personify that distinctly Southern musical paradox by being simultaneously intense and laid-back, or maybe just intensely laid-back; at any rate, this is both deeply passionate and seemingly carefree, a perfect soundtrack to lazy, languorous days.
Haul Up Your Foot You Fool
Artist: Mr. Peter’s Boom And Chime
Release Date: 1997
Backed by a four-piece Belizean band whose members play guitar, boom and chime — a bass drum struck on one side with a mallet (the boom) and on the other with something called a “drum sack” (the chime) — tumba (aka conga), the jawbone of an ass and an auto brake drum, Wilfrid Peters carries on the traditional polyrhythmic music of 19th-century mahogany camps in what used to be called British Honduras. He sings his often-bawdy brukdowns (including a customized version of Merle Haggard’s “Today I Started Loving You Again”) in chipper, Creole-inflected pidgin English, and plays driving/droning accordion. It’s so infectious you’ll involuntarily haul up your own foot and start dancing.
Remember Me
Artist: Otis Redding
Release Date: 1992
Sure, they dubbed it soul, but they might as well have called it “heart music.” Did any performer ever display a bigger heart than Otis Redding? He can lift a party — any party, anytime, anywhere — the instant he opens his mouth to sing, whether it’s to sigh “I’ve Got Dreams to Remember,” to admonish “Try a Little Tenderness” or to cry out for “Respect.” And you haven’t fully experienced summer until you’ve heard the sound of “The Dock of the Bay” riding a balmy breeze to mingle with the smell and smoke of barbecue. Remember that.
The Very Best of Jimmy Reed
Artist: Jimmy Reed
Release Date: 2003
Reed’s laconic ’50s update of Delta blues seemed so simple that he’s likely the most widely-covered bluesman ever — but his timing, sound and mood proved so subtle and deceptive that nobody’s ever gotten it quite right (except possibly Charlie Rich). With his sweet, nasal singing set off by walking bass, sighing countrified harp and insistent boogie guitar, songs like “Big Boss Man,” “Bright Lights, Big City” and “Baby What You Want Me To Do” may go down easy, but they never really go away; they’re like a part of the air they inhabit. Jimmy’s timeless music is not just agreeable, it’s downright irresistible.
30th Anniversary Tour: Live
Artist: George Thorogood
Release Date: 2004
Everybody’s favorite white blues blusterer, Thorogood is so enthusiastic that his technical limitations as both a singer and guitarist become an important element of his charm. And it’s not like he doesn’t know that, either, which only makes it more so. In front of this British audience, the Delaware Flash careens through raunchy, high-volume faves like “Who Do You Love” and “Bad to the Bone” with — after all these years — his usual boozy, bloozy panache, giving inspiration to air guitarists everywhere. Guileless and unabashed, he’s the consummate fan-as-musician, and who (besides sober-sided purists) can’t relate that?
New Orleans’ Funkiest Delicacies
Artist: Various Artists – Funky Delicacies
Release Date: 2005
In the steamy Crescent City, where the second-line beat and its variants are second nature, there’s more to funk than just the Neville Brothers. New Orleans fans might recognize some names, like Eddie Bo (the surging “Hey Mama, Here Comes the Preacher”) and Willie Tee (whose “Teasing You Again” faintly recalls ’70s Marvin Gaye), but most of these performers will be unfamiliar to nearly everyone. No matter: with influences ranging from the Nevilles to Tower of Power, Sly Stone, George Clinton and Donald Byrd, they tighten up the NOLA carnival tradition as they get in the groove and let the good times roll.

There are a lot of different home based businesses that you can get involved in. Things like Child Daycare Centers, Telecommunications, Candle making, Travel etc. A lot of different industries that you can get involved in and have your own business and run it out of your home.
From my experiences in business, the most profitable one “is” a home based business. They are easier to run that the traditional ones. They cost less to start, usually just a fraction of the cost of a traditional business. Most home based business cost under $500. You also don’t have all the over head expenses that you acquire in traditional businesses, and you don’t have to lease a space out etc.
Just about everything you use daily in your own home all becomes a tax write off each year.
What I’ve found being involved in both aspects, a home based business is more profitable to have and actually has more advantages to have then a traditional business.
So many different types to chose from. Comapring what my father does, my mother, and my grandfather and I do (four different types of businesses) the best opportunity for someone is to actually partner up with a company rather then starting one up by yourself. This I find much easier to build your business by doing, then to really start from scratch like my parents did in theirs. (they both have two separate businesses) My Grandfather partnered up with one company, and I partnered up with another. We built our businesses quicker then my parents who started from scratch and had less overhead expenses then they do. In a traditional business, like I was saying, you are going to have a ton of bills to pay every month ontop of your normal home bills.In a traditional business, the business is a tax write off, however your home bills are not. So you basically have double expenses. Traditional business expenses are higher, the income opportunity is the same, but the profit margin in traditional business is less than a home based business because of the expenses you have to dish out each month. So Economically speaking, a home based business is better.
If you’d like some examples, I’ll use mine. All my utilities, majority of our food and house payments etc are tax write offs.
This company we partnered up with is an International telecommunications service provider that was started back in 1993. It’s a 15 year old, world wide company that’s in numerous countries on 3 contintnets. The world’s largest
direct selling telecommunications service provider. The world’s headquarters are in Farmington Hills, Michigan and headquarters in Charlotee, Amsterdam, Sydney and Montreal.
They have been featured in several magazines like USA Today, Success, Fortune etc. Inc 500 rated them the 22nd fastest growing company in revenue in it’s first five years. Their revenue has quadrupled over the last five years alone.
They market in services people use every day and pay for anyway. Services like Local and Long Distance telephones, Internet, Digital, video phones, Satallite TV, and all the major cellular phone companies like Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-mobile, Nextell, Altell etc (this is for the USA, other cellular phone companies for each country. Top Carriers, latest plans and most popular equipment.
How many people do you know, or know of around the world that uses one or more of these services or products? Just about everyone around the world does. You help people save money on an existing service they have, as well as introducing them to new products and services around the world. With cellular phones, you save them up to 75% on new 2 year contracts with phones as well as saving them money on upgrading and extending their existing contracts. Every time these people pay their bills each month on these services, you make a percentage every single month.
If you think about how many people use these services world wide, their’s a lot of money in this industry to be made.
This is also becoming major funding sources for non profit organizations to have monthly funding coming in to fund their programs that they provide for various different people like the handicap, mentally impaired, challenged, elderly, internally ill and youth programs.
