Chanteur et
guitariste Bluegrass US né le 10 Mars 1938 à Chattanooga (Tennessee).
Although
he is proficient with a variety of stringed instruments, Norman Blake is famous
for his acoustic guitar skills — he was one of the major bluegrass guitarists of
the '70s. Blake came into view in the late '60s, when he began performing as a
sideman with artists as diverse as June
Carter and Bob Dylan. During the '70s, he began a solo career that quickly
became one of the most popular and musically adventurous within bluegrass. He
continued recording and performing — occasionally with his wife, Nancy — well
into the '90s.
Blake began playing music professionally when he was 16 years old, joining the
Dixieland Drifters as a mandolinist in 1954; the group debuted on Tennessee
Barn Dance, a radio show based in Knoxville. After two years, he left the
band and became a member of the Lonesome Travelers, which was led by banjoist
Bob Johnson. By the end of the '50s, the Lonesome Travelers had added a second
banjoist, Walter Forbes, and had made two records for RCA. Although he joined
Hylo Brown & the Timberliners in 1959,
Blake continued to perform with Johnson. The following year, he also became a
member of June Carter's touring band.
In 1961, Blake was drafted into the Army, where he was stationed in Panama.
While he was in the service, he was a radio operator on the Panama Canal and he
formed a band called the Kobbe Mountaineers. The band became a popular
attraction and was voted the best band in the Caribbean Command. In 1962, Blake
recorded 12 Shades of Bluegrass with the Lonesome Travelers while he was on
leave. He was discharged from the Army the following year and moved to
Nashville. Once he was in Nashville, Blake joined
Johnny Cash's band. That same year, he
married Nancy Short and settled in Chattanooga, TN. For the next few years he
played with Cash, both on recordings and
concerts. In 1969, Bob Dylan hired Blake to play on his country-rock album
Nashville Skyline, providing the guitarist a whole new audience. That
audience expanded even further when he became
Cash's main guitarist on the singer's television show.
Cash's program featured a wide array of
musical guests, who were often impressed with Blake's talents.
Kris Kristofferson asked him to
join his touring band and Norman did so, playing both guitar and dobro; he also
played on several of Kristofferson's
records. Blake also played on several of Joan Baez's records, including her hit
version of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down."
Following his folk and country-rock experiments, Blake returned to his bluegrass
roots in 1971 when he joined John
Hartford's band Aeroplane, which also featured fiddler Vassar Clements.
Aeroplane fell apart quickly, but Blake stayed with Hartford for
a year and a half. (Blake would also join Clements for
the sessions for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's
acclaimed homage to country music's roots, 1972's Will the Circle Be Unbroken.)
In 1972, Norman recorded his first solo album, Back Home in Sulphur Springs,
which began a long relationship with Rounder Records. This arrangement lasted
through Blake's 1990 album Norman Blake & Tony Rice 2, a follow-up to his
earlier collaboration with Rice. Most of Blake's
output in the '90s was released on the equally venerable Shanachie label,
beginning with 1992's Just
Gimme Somethin' I'm Used To and extending to 2001's Flower
from the Fields of Alabama. This coincided with a fruitful period for Blake as
he began working with producer T-Bone
Burnett, first on the soundtrack album he coordinated for the hit film O
Brother, Where Art Thou?, released in 2000. When the record became a
surprise multi-platinum success, Burnett arranged
a tour that brought together many of the artists who appeared on the soundtrack,
with Blake as
one of the accompanists. The tour produced a live album, 2001's Down
from the Mountain: O Brother, Where Art Thou?, and Burnett would
turn to Blake for
many of his roots-oriented projects over the next several years, including
2002's self-titled effort from Ralph
Stanley, 2003's Cold
Mountain (Original Soundtrack), and 2007's Raising
Sand by Robert
Plant & Alison
Krauss.
In 2002, Blake went
into the studio with fiddler/mandolin player Peter
Ostroushko to record 2002's collaborative effort Meeting
on Southern Soil. 2004's The
Morning Glory Ramblers was the first of three albums Norman & Nancy Blake
would record for Dualtone, followed by 2006's Back
Home in Sulfur Springs and 2007's Shacktown
Road (which also included Dobro virtuoso Tut
Taylor). Norman and Nancy were
also part of the ensemble for the 2009 release Rising
Fawn Gathering, a blend of Southern and Celtic influences that also included the
Boys of the Lough and James & Rachel Bryan. In 2010, Blake debuted
the Plectrafone Records label, an offshoot of Western Jubilee Recording, with
the album Green
Light on the Southern, a set of low-key performances in the old-timey manner.
He followed a similar template for 2015's Wood,
Wire and Words, and was joined by Nancy
Blake for 2016's Brushwood:
Songs and Stories. Plectrafone and Western Jubilee went into a partnership
with one of America's most prestigious labels of American roots music,
Smithsonian Folkways, to issue 2021's Day
by Day, a set of songs Blake recorded
live in his own home studio.
