Jimmie Bratcher: Country music transformed by the blues-singing reverend |
Thursday 30th March 2017 |
Lins Honeyman talked to the Kansas City-based bluesman JIMMIE BRATCHER |
Rev Jimmie Bratcher |
Rev Jimmie Bratcher |
When Tony Cummings interviewed Kansas City-based blues singer and guitarist the Reverend Jimmie Bratcher for Cross Rhythms back in 2003, the man they call the Electric Rev was a mere two albums into his recording career having just released 'Something Better' with his debut 'Honey In The Rock' hitting the shelves two years previously. Since then, fans of Bratcher's own brand of laidback but razor sharp electric blues have enjoyed a raft of releases that have in part featured songs that point towards Bratcher's remarkable journey from drug abuse, dysfunctional relationships and self-destruction to a life-transforming faith in Jesus whilst exhibiting the kind of lead guitar work that quite rightly puts him right up there as one of the best exponents of electric blues of the current age. |
In the years since the Cross Rhythms interview, Bratcher has released no less than six further records - including a Christmas release and a live album - as well as having his book Don't Take Your Dreams To The Grave published in 2005. In addition, his work as a church minister and preacher has seen him travel the length and breadth of the United States as well as several visits to the UK and he maintains a busy gigging schedule that would put younger artists to shame with appearances in clubs, bars, motorbike rallies and prisons complementing his church work to good effect. |
With his 2013 album 'Secretly Famous' - produced by Grammy Award winner Jim Gaines - signalling something of a four year gap in output, Bratcher is set to make up for lost time with not one but two releases this year with 'This Is Blues Country' - an album of country music classics reinterpreted as blues songs - getting its official US release on 17th April followed by a collection of reworked gospel songs and hymns under the banner of 'New Old Stuff' later on in the year. As if two albums in the same year were not enough, some Christmas songs, a DVD and another book are also in the offing. |
I caught up with Jimmie just as he was putting the finishing touches to 'This Is Blues Country' and I started by asking how he came about putting out an album of old classic country songs - albeit in his own style. "My mum and dad were country people so we listened to country music and that's what I grew up on," he explained. "Even as a teenager, one of my favourite albums was Johnny Cash's 'Live At Folsom Prison' so I've always had this country root in me. However, I'm a blues rock player so I can't really fit that straight country thing into my format so I decided to take some of those songs - which were probably already rooted in the blues - and rearrange them. I tried to stay as true to the original melody as I could but just rework them so I could do them in a blues rock style." |
Given that songs on the new album such as "You Are My Sunshine", Hank Snow's "I Don't Hurt Anymore" and the Marty Robbins-penned "Singing The Blues" are established classics, I wondered if doing more literal versions ever crossed his mind. "I thought about doing more traditional versions of the songs but I just had to listen to who I am as an individual and do them my way," Jimmie advised. "For instance, my version of 'Honky Tonk Blues' - the Hank Williams song - is more like a ZZ Top kind of song but it fits. I had these songs in my heart and I just listened for something that would spark a new arrangement. My drummer Terry Hancock and bass player Rick Yord are two very experienced musicians and they also contributed a lot to the arrangements on the album. It was important to put my own stamp on those songs to allow me to perform them as if they were mine and to have the confidence to perform them with passion." |

"Honky Tonk Blues" opens Jimmie's new album and was originally recorded by its writer Hank Williams in 1952 and would go on to become a massive hit for the country music legend. "That song has a really great story," Jimmie elaborated. "I don't know if Hank intended it this way when he wrote it but it's actually the story of the prodigal son from the Bible. The boy leaves his papa's farm and wastes his inheritance on riotous living and finally gets tired of it and goes back to his dad." |
With an international release for 'This Is Blues Country' scheduled for the summer following its April launch in the US, Jimmie plans to release a second covers album in quick succession. "'New Old Stuff' is a collection of mostly old gospel songs and hymns," he said. "When I came to faith in Jesus in 1976, I was right at the point of just about being able to make a living from playing music. I was 22 and that had been my life's goal. One of the first things that happened when I came to know the Lord was the pastor of my church came to me and educated me on the so-called 'devil's music' and basically told me that I couldn't play what I was playing anymore. As a result, I quit playing blues from 1976 to about the year 2000 and instead played Southern gospel classic hymn type songs and they're songs that I still love to play to this day. For that album, we're also doing 'Doctor Doctor' from my first album and 'Bad Religion' off the 'Red' album and making them more acoustic and rootsy. We hope to have that album out by the end of the summer. We've also got some new Christmas tracks which we'll be finishing up. We're just busy putting out the music!" |
Jimmie continued, "I speak in a church almost every Sunday and a lot of the time I travel by myself or with my wife Sherri and so I've gotten into the habit of taking a resonator guitar with me and I just play solo. I've had such a great a response from doing songs that way that I want to put it down on record. I recently did an arrangement of a song that might not be popular in the UK but most people will know it. It's the song 'God Bless America' and I was asked last 4th of July to do a church event and they put the responsibility on me to do the patriotic music. I started researching 'God Bless America' and found out that Irving Berlin wrote it in 1918 but it didn't become popular until 1938. I also found out that there was an introduction which really revealed the purpose of the song. The introduction says this: 'While the storm clouds are gathering across the seas, let us swear our allegiance to a land that is free/Let us all be thankful for a land so fare, as we lift our voices in this solemn prayer' and then it goes into the chorus that everybody knows. In America, it's a big deal for us right now to be thankful for the world that we live in." |
Up until now, Jimmie's most recent album was the Jim Gaines-produced 'Secretly Famous' which saw the guitarist move away from more direct references to faith in his lyrics and I asked if this approach was deliberate. "It was a conscious decision to be less direct in terms of matters of faith on that album," he confirmed. "I'm a minister and I'm in churches almost every week but I also play venues that are not church-related. I consider playing those places as being just as worthwhile as appearing at churches. With 'Secretly Famous' and also 'This Is Blues Country', I wanted to do something that was more specific to those kind of venues. However, I can take any song on 'Secretly Famous' and point you to a Bible chapter or verse and preach you a sermon around that song. For instance, the song 'Check Your Blues At The Door' came about whilst I was reading Matthew 6 where Jesus says 'which of you by worrying can add anything to your life?' and the song is my reinterpretation of that verse." |
I asked Jimmie what it's like playing songs that, at least in part, reference his Christian walk in secular venues such as clubs and bars. "Christian people always ask me about how much persecution I get playing gospel-themed songs in those kinds of venues and my answer is that I don't get any," he stated. "That's because I respect and love people and I try to communicate my love and respect for them which then builds a platform for me to be who I am. When I get up and sing a gospel song, it's part of who I am and not just a song." |
Jimmie Bratcher: Country music transformed by the blues-singing reverend |
Jimmie continued, "Back in 2002, the bass player on 'Something Better' - a guy called Jeff Wollenberg - passed away. Jeff used to be a meth manufacturer and he got sent to prison but came to faith in Jesus whilst he was in there. We met shortly after he got out of prison and we quickly became friends. On July 25th 2002, he was lying in bed reading his Bible and he circled a passage of Scripture, let out a wheeze and had a massive heart attack and died on the spot. When it came time for his funeral, there was no money to bury him so the guys he played clubs with all came together and played a benefit concert and they asked me to come and be part of it. They were insistent that I play one of the songs that Jeff and I had played together. The benefit was at the Blue Moon Lounge and I got up and played my song 'Love Running' which is a slow three chord prodigal song and the last verse has me screaming 'Jesus, Jesus - will you take me just as I am.' That was my first experience of doing a gospel song in that kind of setting and one of the guitar players came up to me afterwards and just fell on my shoulders, wrapped his arms around me and whispered in my ear 'Rev - you can save me'. I was able to lead that man to faith in Jesus and it was all because we were there in that venue. That was the beginning of my eyes being opened to see that the Gospel is supernaturally attractive to people and it's a message that, when it's delivered with love, absolutely connects with people." |
I suggested that people must still initially feel awkward when they find out that the person playing in their bar is in fact a man of the cloth. "Usually, when people find out that I'm a minister, they do become nervous," he admitted. "Sherri and I work real hard to make people feel valued and loved - that real agape love - and it takes them a minute to get over it and loosen up. On the flipside, I constantly try to introduce church folks to the songs that we might play at clubs, prisons or biker rallies and one such song is a track from the 'Red' album called 'Three Chords'. People from the churches will come up to me afterwards and say that they didn't even know that they liked blues music but they like what I've just played. I've always felt that we're taking the blues to the most difficult audience in the world when we take it to church because that's the audience that's been most resistant to it because of the erroneous assumption that it's the devil's music. For me, it's a challenge to change people's minds and preconceptions and point them towards the truth that God loves creativity and he loves us to be expressive and be real in the expression of our art." |
I put forward the suggestion that a lot of blues music - even without the gospel blues strand - consists of a hopefulness that shatters the misconception that the blues is simply downcast and depressing. "Absolutely," Jimmie agreed. "As far as you go back, blues music is about hoping for a better day. It can be about expressing the grief that's in a person's heart or it can be about dancing and happiness - all the things that equate to life. I feel that the blues is one of the most expressive forms of music because you can be broken-hearted or sad one minute and letting the good times roll the next." |
Jimmie's first two albums were produced by American gospel blues pioneer Larry Howard who sadly passed away in February after a long-term illness. I asked Jimmie what it was like working with Larry and how they first met. "I became aware of Larry Howard and his music mainly through his 'Bright Side Of The Blues' album which I think is one of the best gospel blues albums ever recorded," explained Jimmie. "Sherri and I were part of an outreach event at a motorcycle rally at Sturgis back in 1998 and I called Larry - who I'd never met before - and said we would love it if he could come along to it and he immediately said he'd be there. |
"We met at that event and he heard me play a song I'd written called 'I Can't Get Over It' and he immediately told me I had to come to his studio in Macon, Georgia and record an album. Larry produced my first record 'Honey In The Rock' and he was definitely a mentor to me. He opened up my eyes about how to write and gave Sherri and me the accessibility to do prison ministry - something we still do to this day. He was one of my closest friends here on earth. I'm sad to say he left an unfinished album and I don't know what will come of it - I've heard bits and pieces of it and hopefully somehow that record will make the light of day. Larry was a great man and he helped a lot of people and the world's a better place because Larry Howard was here." |
With lots of new music planned for 2017, Jimmie would be well within his rights to take it easy for the rest of the year but this doesn't seem likely to happen. Jimmie confirmed: "We're pretty much on the road all the time and we've just been invited to play at the Invictus Games - an event that Prince Harry initiated where wounded warriors from all over the world come and participate in athletics. That's in Toronto in September and we're really excited about that. Also, Sherri and I will be publishing a book in the fall called Granny Paid For Our Divorce. It got that title because we were married previously and then we got a divorce which my grandmother paid for. Happily, we got married again and the book is the story of our marriage. We've also got a new DVD coming out called 'The Little Girl Wins' which is the story of how, in 2011 for the very first time, I met my 38 year old daughter Jessica who is from a relationship I had before I met Sherri. It's an incredible story of reconciliation and forgiveness that needs to be told and, following that, there will be a book that will come out which Jessica and I will write together." |
In closing, I asked Jimmie what keeps him going. "People keep me going," he stated simply. "I see the hurt in people's eyes about what they're going through in life and whilst I don't have all the answers - none of us do - I can connect folks to someone who does have all the answers. That keeps us motivated to keep going to the places where people are hurting and to offer solutions to them. I don't know what else to do. I'll soon be 63 years old and I don't have a plan for slowing down. I know at some point I'll have to but, until that day, we'll keep going everywhere we can." CR |

Pure Active: Hazelnut Oil |
Hazelnut has been called the pore-reducing and acne-fighting oil because of its unique properties. A high content of catechins and tannins (healthy flavonoids) make it a dry or astringent oil that feels smooth and toning on the skin. The astringent properties help absorb oils and shrink pores, while the antibacterial components go to work battling skin bacteria to help reduce blackheads and pimples. Karanja Oil is prized for its antiseptic properties and makes a great natural preservative. It may be used to treat eczema, psoriasis, skin ulcers, dandruff and promote wound healing. It is an overall powerful enhancer to a potent wonder oil. |

Horrible Bosses: Self-Awareness and Destructive Leadership |
You’ve seen these types in the workplace, right? Dave Harken (Kevin Spacey) from the movie Horrible Bosses. Katharine Parker (Sigourney Weaver) in the film Working Girl. Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) from the movie Wall Street. Some executives make Bill Lumbergh (Gary Cole) from Office Space and Michael Scott (Steve Carell) from The Office look like a blessing. Examples from movie and television aside, we have all witnessed some form of destructive leadership. How do you identify early warning signs? And is there a remedy? |

The Only Bigmouths Were the Fish |
My short, bewildering seasons covering the professional bass circuit. |
Illustration by Mark Alan Stamaty. Click image to expand. |
Over the past two years, I've caught rattlesnakes and salmon, fired pumpkins from catapults, and learned the finer points of shark fishing, duck calling, and catfish noodling. Mostly, I've covered bass tournaments. A bass-fishing contest is a brash affair—50 to 100-some boats, their 250-horsepower engines roaring at daybreak, speeding around big public lakes at up to 80 mph. Unless you grew up in a johnboat slinging spinnerbaits into the hydrilla, the sport is as odd as you'd imagine: Dixie as produced by Bruckheimer and directed by Fellini. Covering it as a reporter for the ESPN Outdoors Web site, correspondingly, has to qualify as one of the more absurdist errands in sports journalism. |
Take, for starters, the launch. This is when the fishermen arrive, back their boats down a ramp and into fog-dappled water, and make their final preparations for the day: strapping rods and reels to the decks, punching coordinates into GPS units, modifying baits with Sharpies. Anglers are almost unfailingly gracious about answering questions. Entry fees and expenses may run $70,000 for those who fish the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society's Elite Series—that's BASS for short—and nearly all of the competitors need exposure they can sell to sponsors. But at this hour, they're also playing a poker game. They do not like to say where or how they expect to catch fish, lest they tip off their rivals. (Some even display baits and rods they have no intention of using.) The bass-fishing reporter, then, must not spook the fishermen by asking questions that deal with strategy or technique. Instead, it's best to approach cautiously, doing one's best to replicate the patter of the bait shop: Have you seen many fish spawning? How about that cold front that's coming through? The result, hopefully, is pointillistic nongibberish for your readers—weekend anglers daydreaming of smallmouth while stuck at their desks. |
Yes, the game reduces you to talking about the weather. In no other sport, with the possible exception of hot-air-balloon racing, does weather matter more. On mornings when you have no freakin' clue what to write, stick to the forecast. Bright skies hurt anglers fishing shallow, because their shadows alarm the fish. Rain can help anglers aiming for bass in creeks, because runoff attracts baitfish, which in turn attract bass. And if lightning gets too close, it raises lines and quivers rods like tuning forks. Too much lightning and the whole day gets scrapped, with everyone sent home to eat pancakes and watch golf. Such cowardice rankles Rick Clunn, a four-time winner of the Bassmaster Classic. (No one else has won more than two.) At a 2007 tournament on Alabama's Lake Guntersville, Clunn told me of a victory he'd scored on the same water years earlier by bolting at an incoming storm. "Everybody's paranoid," the sixtysomething groused. "Lawyers dictate that we live our lives by fear instead of by adventure and excitement." |
As the competitors explode off the dock for a day of Adventure and Excitement, the reporter drives back to some South Texas Hampton Inn or Central Alabama Holiday Inn Express to file a story and nap before noon. He returns to the lake before 3 p.m. to see a bunch of fellows bedecked with logos—Triton boats, Yum baits, Falcon rods, Toyota trucks, Yamaha engines, Busch beer—walk across the weigh-in stage brandishing the catch of the day. That's right: Owing to the voracity of online news, most deadline fishing reporters do not get to see any actual fishing. |
Let's say you tried to cover a baseball game the way I reported on a BASS tournament. You'd start by watching the ceremonial first pitch. Next, leave the stadium, only to return three hours later to read the line score. Then have a go at interviewing the players, knowing they'll keep mum on how all the runs scored for fear the opposing team will glean some useful information about how to swing the bat. |
Interviewed backstage, cordial competitors simply say nothing or offer a couple of bare details: I caught 'em deep, or I was flipping a jig. In the world of recreational fishing, anglers delight in describing their catches. On the BASS circuit, the pros prefer to zip it. You know what loose lips do to entire ships—imagine what they'd do to a bass boat. On occasion, a journalist can do even more harm than revealing where they're biting. Twenty years ago, in the days when reporters routinely rode with anglers on competition days, an angler named Jim Bitter caught what should have been the clinching fish in the Bassmaster Classic. Riding with him was the late doyen of fishing scribes, Tim Tucker, who asked Bitter to hold the fish for a photo. The fisherman obliged, and his catch wriggled free and out of the boat. Later, when he realized that the one that got away cost him the tournament by 2 ounces, Bitter wept. |
Another difficulty of bass journalism is that the fishermen often have no idea what's going on. Clunn's a believer in what he calls "the dynamic universe." He sees fishing as a constant struggle to marry action with an environmental truth that's instantly obsolete—exactly what Heisenberg would've said if you handed him a rod and reel. When an angler can anticipate the natural world (wind, water, sun, fish), he achieves sublimity. Before he won the 2007 Classic, Boyd Duckett pondered the fishing zone: "I don't know if it's just your presentation is better or you truly have the mental ability to make things happen." This is his way of saying that, despite the endless array of casts, rigging, and baits, catching fish comes down to something unknowable, something borderline spiritual. |
What the pros rarely admit is that the lake changes so much day to day, hour to hour, mile to mile, that someone else could follow their recipe and catch squat. I came to treasure the honest assessments, like when an angler named Jeff Kriet—after a day of unexpected great fishing at a tournament in Greensboro, N.C.—practically shouted, "Dude, the whole lake turned on." When asked why, fisherman Skeet Reese blurted, "We don't know! None of us know!" |
While I was rarely satisfied with my daily fish wrap-ups, there were great pieces to be found out on the lakes. At that Carolina tournament, someone on Kevin Wirth's boat apparently suffered a seizure, fell into the water, and likely would have died had Wirth not grabbed him by the scruff and towed him to shore. Kriet swore he saw a buzzard in someone's backyard play with four separate toy balls, including a beach ball the bird finally speared with his beak. And 28-year-old Fred Roumbanis nearly tripled his career earnings with the $250,000 first-place check, then had the presence of mind, through his gathering tears, to peek down at the few sponsors' names printed on his jersey, thank them, and cement his career. He then drove overnight to Oklahoma to be with his pregnant wife, who bore their first child hours later. |
Cord Blood Banking: A Novel Idea |
What is Cord Blood? |
Cord blood means a blood that remains in the umbilical cord and the placenta after a baby is born. Afterbirth, cord and placenta were discarded as medical waste. Recently, it is been found that, cord blood has rich source of stem cells that can be stored and in future it can be used for different hematological and genetic diseases. Getting stem cells from the umbilical cord and placenta is painless and safe procedure for the mother and her child. |
Cord blood contains stem cells that are the building blocks of the blood and immune system. They have the ability to develop into other types of cells, so they can help to repair tissues, organs, and blood vessels and can be used to treat a host of diseases. The cord blood is composed of all the elements found in whole blood. It contains red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, and platelets and hematopoietic stem cells. The oldest cord blood stored still is in perfect condition after 23 years. |
Fig. 1 : Cord tissue and Placenta after birth. |
Cord blood bank |
Cord blood banking means collecting and storing the blood drawn from the umbilical cord after a baby is born. Cord blood bank is a facility, which cryopreserve umbilical cord blood in liquid nitrogen in -1960C for future medical use. In addition to cord blood; Cord tissue, placenta, amniotic fluid, amnion are also stored for future medical treatments. |
There are two types of cord blood banks available. A public bank where cord blood can be donated for free, and it may be helpful for patients seeking stem cells for a transplant. In Public cord blood bank, HLA typed cord blood is open for transplant registry, where patient in need of cord blood or hematopoietic stem cells can access HLA registry and find suitable match for the transplant. A family or private cord blood bank also saves cord blood for a fee and it will be exclusively for the family use only. This bank do not facilitate registry for transplant purpose. |
Who should do cord blood banking |
Cord blood banking is encouraged because of the recent advancement in the field of stem cells and regenerative medicine. Clinical application of cord blood, cord tissue or placental derived stem cells is getting recognition due to ample availability and less ethical concern. In fact, these are the only adult stem cells of 9-month age. Importantly, collection of cord blood stem cells is done by non-invasive methods or dose not requires any surgical intervention to collect stem cells. Many parents who are more health conscious tend to opt for the cord blood banking. There are two options available with the majority of time. Financially affordable parents go for family or private cord blood banking. Now day’s parents also attracted to donate the cord blood to public banks but the awareness is very low and there are very few public cord blood banks available. |
Patient who have genetic history of cancer, diabetes should be encouraged to do cord blood banking. Similarly, population which is exposed to hazards chemicals or pollution should also be consider under this option |
Why to do cord blood banking? |
Cord blood contains stem cells that may be cryopreserved (Stored in -1960C) for later use in medical therapies, such as hematopietic stem cell transplants. Both private and public cord blood banks have developed in response to the potential for cord blood in treating diseases of the blood and immune systems. Public cord blood banks accept donations to be used for anyone in need, and as such function like public blood banks. Private cord blood banks store cord blood only for potential use by the donor or donor’s family. Cord blood transplants require less stringent matching between the tissue types of the donor and patient, known as their human leukocyte antigen (HLA) types. Bone marrow transplants require a complete match on six key antigens, which are measures of graft-versus-host reaction, known as a 6/6 match. Cord blood transplants achieve the same medical success with only a 4/6 match. HLA type is inherited from both parents, so siblings are particularly likely to be a match, and people from the same ethnic heritage are more likely to match. Minority ethnic groups have difficulty finding a perfectly matched transplant donor. Studies have found that allogeneic transplants have a better outcome when the donor and patient are related. The odds that two siblings will have the 6/6 match required for a bone marrow transplant are 25%.The odds that two siblings will have the 4/6 match required for a cord blood transplant are 39%. |
How is Cord blood banking done? |
Once a couple decides to preserve their child’s blood/placenta/cord tissue, they sign an agreement with the company. After which a collection kit is provided to the couple with details about the collection process of cord blood/placenta/cord tissue. This kit is handed over to the obstetrician at the time of delivery. |
There are several methods for the collection of cord blood. The method most commonly used in clinical practice is the “closed technique”, which is similar to standard blood collection techniques. With this method, the technician prick in the vein of the umbilical cord using a needle that is connected to a blood bag, and cord blood flows through the needle into the bag. Continuous shaking of cord blood bag is done for proper mixing of cord blood with anticoagulant agent. On average, the closed technique enables collection of about 75 ml of cord blood. Additionally, 10 ml maternal blood was collected to test for different virus. |
After cord blood collection, within 48 hours of cord blood units are transported to Cord Blood Processing Laboratory where technicians “register” new units into the database, obtain aliquots (small samples) for testing and storage. Processing must be completed and cord blood units frozen within 72 hours of collection. |
