GÊNERO: M. P. B.
ANO: 1972

Clube da Esquina é um álbum de estúdio produto da reunião de músicos brasileiros conhecidos como Clube da Esquina, liderado pelos cantores e compositores Milton Nascimento e Lô Borges, a quem o álbum foi creditado. Desta forma, torna-se o quinto álbum de estúdio de Milton Nascimento e o primeiro de Lô Borges, que em seguida seguiria a carreira solo com trabalhos próprios. O disco foi lançado, no Brasil, em LP em 1972 pela EMI-Odeon.
Clube da Esquina chamou a atenção pelas composições engajadas e a miscelânea de sons. A capa traz a foto de dois meninos, Cacau e Tonho, fotografados em uma estradinha de terra nas proximidades de Nova Friburgo, região serrana do Rio de Janeiro, próximo de onde moravam os pais adotivos de Milton Nascimento.
O LP foi eleito em uma lista da versão brasileira da revista Rolling Stone como o 7º melhor disco brasileiro de todos os tempos. Em setembro de 2012, foi eleito pelo público da Rádio Eldorado FM, do portal Estadão.com e do Caderno C2+Música (estes dois últimos pertencentes ao jornal O Estado de S. Paulo) como o segundo melhor disco brasileiro da história. Em resenhas profissionais, Clube da Esquina segue tido como um dos álbuns mais marcantes da carreira de Milton Nascimento e Lô Borges, assim como da própria MPB.
Curiosamente na época do lançamento a crítica especializada, segundo relato de Márcio Borges, não avaliou o álbum de forma positiva: "Naturalmente, os críticos foram horríveis. Ficavam querendo comparar Bituca (Milton) com Caetano e Chico Buarque, não entendiam nada daquele ecumenismo inter-racial, internacional, interplanetário, proposto pelas dissonâncias atemporais de Bituca. Desprezavam os achados de Chopin e o zelo beatlemaníaco do menino Lô."
Em 2017, o rapper Djonga usou a capa de Clube da Esquina como referência para a capa de seu álbum de estreia, chamado Heresia.
            Em 2018 foi lançado o livro Milton Nascimento e Lô Borges – Clube da Esquina, de Paulo Thiago de Mello contando os bastidores e o contexto histórico do álbum.
Invento mais que a solidão me dá
Invento Lua nova a clarear
Invento o amor e sei a dor de encontrar
Eu queria ser feliz
Invento o mar
Invento em mim o sonhador
Para quem quer me seguir eu quero mais
Tenho o caminho do que sempre quis
E um saveiro pronto p’ra partir
Invento o cais
E sei a vez de me lançar.

George "Buddy" Guy(born July 30, 1936) is an American blues guitarist and singer. He is an exponent of Chicago blues and has influenced guitarists including Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jeff Beck, Gary Clark Jr. and John Mayer. In the 1960s, Guy played with Muddy Waters as a house guitarist at Chess Records and began a musical partnership with the harmonica player Junior Wells.
Guy was ranked 23rd in Rolling Stone magazine's "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time". His song "Stone Crazy" was ranked 78th in the Rolling Stone list of the "100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time". Clapton once described him as "the best guitar player alive". In 1999, Guy wrote the book Damn Right I've Got the Blues, with Donald Wilcock. His autobiography, When I Left Home: My Story, was published in 2012.
He appeared onstage at the March 1969 "Supershow" in Staines, England, which also included Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, Jack Bruce, Stephen Stills, Buddy Miles, Glenn Campbell, Roland Kirk, Jon Hiseman, and the Misunderstood. In 1972, he established The Checkerboard Lounge, with partner L.C. Thurman.
Guy's career was revived during the blues revival of the late 1980s and early 1990s. His resurgence was sparked by Clapton's request that Guy be part of the "24 Nights" all-star blues guitar lineup at London's Royal Albert Hall. Guy subsequently signed with Silvertone Records.
Guy had a small role in the 2009 crime film In the Electric Mist as Sam "Hogman" Patin.
As of 2019, Guy still performs at least a hundred and thirty nights a year, including a month of shows each January at his Chicago blues club, Buddy Guy's Legends.
In 2015, Alan Harper, a British blues fan, published the book Waiting for Buddy Guy: Chicago Blues at the Crossroads.
Buddy Guy was among hundreds of artists whose material was reportedly destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire
The first time I met the blues
People, you know I was walkin', I was walkin' down through the woods
Yes, the first time, the first time I met you, blues
Blues you know I was walkin', I was walkin' down through the woods
Yes, I've watched my house burnin' blues
Blues, you know you done me, you done me all the harm that you could

The blues got after me
People, you know they ran me from tree to tree
Yes, the blues got after me
Blues, you know you ran me, ran me from tree to tree

Yes, you should-a heard me beg ya, blues
Ah, blues, don't murder me

Yes, good mornin', blues
Blues, I wonder, I wonder what you're doin' here so soon
Yes, good mornin', good mornin', good mornin', mister blues
Blues, I wonder, I keep wonderin' what you're doin' here so soon
Yes, you know you'll be with me every mornin', blues
Every night and every noon
Oh, yeah.
BAD TO THE BONE
GEORGE THOROGOOD
SONGWRITER: GEORGE THOROGOOD
CONTRY: U. S. A.
ALBUM: BAD TP THE BONE
LABEL: EMI AMERICANA
GENRE: BLUES
YEAR: 1982

Bad to the Bone is a song by George Thorogood and the Destroyers released in 1982 on the album of the same name. While it was not widely popular during its initial release, its video made recurrent appearances on the nascent MTV, created a year before. Licensing for films, television, and commercials has since made the song more popular. Author Jim Beviglia argues that despite the song not making the pop charts, it "outstrips all other 80s songs in terms of the way it has essentially become cultural shorthand".
The song adapts the hook and lyrics of Muddy Waters' "Mannish Boy".
On October 7, 2008, the song was released as downloadable content for the music video game series Rock Band. It also featured in Rock Band Track Pack: Classic Rock. The video game Rock 'n Roll Racing also uses it.
The song has also been used as a theme song for Mr. Bungle.
Talk show host Bill Cunningham uses the song as the opening intro to his afternoon talk show on WLW in Cincinnati, Ohio, and on his Sunday night radio show. The song "E.V.I.L. B.O.Y.S." from the hit Disney show Phineas and Ferb sampled the base melody of the song to give it a blues sound.
Thorogood appeared in a UPS commercial, convincing NASCAR driver Dale Jarrett to race the brown delivery truck, and rewriting the lyrics as "Brown to the Bone", in 2002.
On the day I was born
The nurses all gathered 'round
And they gazed in wide wonder
At the joy they had found

The head nurse spoke up
And she said leave this one alone
She could tell "right away"
That I was bad to the bone

Bad to the bone (x2)
B-B-B-B-Bad (x3)
Bad to the bone

I broke a thousand hearts
Before I met you
I'll break a thousand more, baby
Before I am through

I wanna be yours, pretty baby
Yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya, honey
That I'm bad to the bone

Bad to the boné
B-B-B-B-Bad (x3)
Bad to the bone

I make a rich woman beg
I'll make a good woman steal
I'll make an old woman blush
And make a young woman squeal

I wanna be yours, pretty baby
Yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya, honey
That I'm bad to the bone

B-B-B-B-Bad (x3)
Bad to the boné

Now when I walk the streets
Kings and queens step aside
Every woman I meet
They all stay satisfied

I wanna tell ya, pretty baby
What I see I make my own
And I'm here to tell ya, honey
That I'm bad to the bone

Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad (x3)
Bad to the bone.

BIG BILL BROONZY
SONGWRITER: BIG BILL BROONZY
COUNTRY: U. S. A.
ALBUM: THE YOUNG BIG BILL BRONZY 1928-1935/VINYL
LABEL: YAZOO RECORDS
GENRE: BLUES
YEAR: 1991

Big Bill Broonzy(born Lee Conley Bradley, June 26, 1903– August 14, 1958) was an American blues singer, songwriter and guitarist. His career began in the 1920s, when he played country blues to mostly African-American audiences. Through the 1930s and 1940s he successfully navigated a transition in style to a more urban blues sound popular with working-class African-American audiences. In the 1950s a return to his traditional folk-blues roots made him one of the leading figures of the emerging American folk music revival and an international star. His long and varied career marks him as one of the key figures in the development of blues music in the 20th century.
Broonzy copyrighted more than 300 songs during his lifetime, including both adaptations of traditional folk songs and original blues songs. As a blues composer, he was unique in writing songs that reflected his rural-to-urban experiences
Broonzy's influences included the folk music, spirituals, work songs, ragtime music, hokum, and country blues he heard growing up and the styles of his contemporaries, including Jimmie Rodgers, Blind Blake, Son House, and Blind Lemon Jefferson. Broonzy combined all these influences into his own style of the blues, which foreshadowed the postwar Chicago blues, later refined and popularized by artists such as Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon.
Although he had been a pioneer of the Chicago blues style and had employed electric instruments as early as 1942, white audiences in the 1950s wanted to hear him playing his earlier songs accompanied only by his own acoustic guitar, which they considered to be more authentic.
He portrayed the discrimination against black Americans in his song "Black, Brown and White".The song has been used globally in education about racism, but in the late 1990s its inclusion in antiracism education at a school in Greater Manchester, England, led pupils to taunt the school's only black pupil with the song's chorus, "If you're white, that's all right, if you're brown, stick around, but if you're black, oh brother get back, get back, get back". The national media reported that the problem became so bad that the nine-year-old boy was withdrawn from the school by his mother. The song had already been adopted by the National Front, a far-right British political party which peaked in popularity in the 1970s and opposed nonwhite immigration to Britain.
A considerable part of Broonzy's early ARC/CBS recordings has been reissued in anthologies by CBS-Sony, and other earlier recordings have been collected on blues reissue labels, as have his European and Chicago recordings of the 1950s. The Smithsonian's Folkways Records has also released several albums featuring Broonzy.
(...)In the September 2007 issue of Q Magazine, Ronnie Wood, of the Rolling Stones, cited Broonzy's track "Guitar Shuffle" as his favorite guitar music. Wood remarked, "It was one of the first tracks I learnt to play, but even to this day I can't play it exactly right."
Eric Clapton has cited Broonzy as a major inspiration, commenting that Broonzy "became like a role model for me, in terms of how to play the acoustic guitar." Clapton featured Broonzy's song "Hey Hey" on his album Unplugged. The Derek and the Dominos album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs includes their recording of "Key to the Highway".
(…)As part of the PopUp Archive project, in collaboration with the WFMT network, the Chicago History Museum, and the Library of Congress, an hour-long interview of Broonzy, recorded on September 13, 1955, by Studs Terkel was made available on-line. The interview includes reflections on his life and on the blues tradition, a performance of one of his most famous songs, "Alberta," and performances of "Goin' Down the Road Feelin' Bad" and other classics.
Mississ-ippi river
Is so long, deep and wide
I can see my good girl
Standin' on that other side

I cried and I called
I could not make my baby hear
Lord, I'm 'on get me a boat, woman
Paddle on away from here
(guitar)

Ain't it hard to love someone
When they are so far from you
Lord, I'm on' get me a boat and
Paddle this old river blue

I went down to the landing
To see if any boats were there
And the fareman told me
Could not find the boats nowhere
(guitar)

The big boat ease up the river
Are turnin' 'round an 'round
Lord, I'm 'on get me a good girl
Or jump overboard an drown.
