New Music From William Bell

Strange Fruit” set the template for what a protest song should be when Lady Day began performing it in 1939, and the song has been remade many times, including by Andra Day for the soundtrack of the film The United States vs. Billie Holiday.



The song’s timelessness and continued relevance is a sad commentary and searing indictment on the racial disparities and injustices that exist in this country 85 years after Billie Holiday first sang “Strange Fruit” at the Café Society in 1939.



And that is what inspired William Bell to make his addition to the protest song canon, “Strange Fruit is Still Hanging.” “Strange Fruit is Still Hanging” is a blues number that begins with Bell making a reference to George Floyd’s murder at the hands of police and comparing it to a lynching.


Washington D.C. Radio Shakeup:

Gospel Station Moves as Tropical Format Takes Over Historic Frequency

s23919g image

The Washington, D.C. radio landscape underwent a dramatic transformation last week when Urban One, one of the nation's largest African American-owned broadcasting companies, announced sweeping format changes that have left gospel music enthusiasts reeling.


After nearly 20 years of serving the region's faith community, WPRS-FM 104.1's beloved "Praise" gospel format went silent Thursday, replaced by a Spanish-language Tropical music station featuring reggaeton and bachata. The unexpected switch marks Urban One's first venture into Tropical programming in the National Capital Region.


"Praise" hasn't disappeared entirely—it's been relocated to a dual-signal arrangement using WDCJ 92.7 FM, licensed to Prince Frederick, Maryland, and FM translator W240DJ 95.9, which broadcasts into Washington proper. However, the new configuration offers significantly reduced coverage compared to the powerful 104.1 signal that previously blanketed the entire metro area.


The ripple effects extended beyond gospel listeners. WDCJ 92.7 had been simulcasting Urban One's Adult R&B station WMMJ (Majic 102.3) to boost coverage in eastern suburbs, while the 95.9 translator had rebroadcast the company's Black Talk station, 1450 WOL. Both arrangements were dissolved to accommodate the gospel format's relocation.


Analysis:

This strategic realignment reveals several important trends in urban radio markets:

Demographic Targeting: Urban One's decision to launch a Tropical format reflects the explosive growth of the Hispanic population in the Washington metropolitan area. The region's Latino community has expanded significantly over the past two decades, creating demand for Spanish-language programming that advertisers are eager to reach. By contrast, gospel radio, while culturally significant, typically attracts an older demographic with less appeal to advertisers seeking younger consumers.


Signal Economics: The move demonstrates the harsh financial calculus of modern broadcasting. The Class B1 signal at 104.1 FM is far more valuable than the combination of a rimshot Class A station and a low-power translator. By placing the commercially promising Tropical format on the superior signal, Urban One maximizes potential advertising revenue while relegating the gospel format to weaker coverage—a decision that prioritizes profit over legacy.


Format Fragmentation: The shuffling of WMMJ's simulcast and WOL's translator signal illustrates how companies are increasingly using translators and secondary signals to maintain multiple format presences without sacrificing prime frequencies. This allows broadcasters to serve niche audiences while reserving their best signals for formats with broader commercial appeal.


Community Impact: For Washington's African American faith community, this represents more than a dial position change. Gospel radio has historically served as a cultural anchor, and the reduced coverage area may limit access for longtime listeners, particularly those in outer suburbs who may no longer receive the relocated signal clearly.



Market Competition: Urban One likely sees an opportunity to capture audience share from existing Spanish-language stations while facing limited competition in the Tropical format specifically. Meanwhile, gospel listeners have fewer alternatives, making them more likely to follow the format despite the inconvenience.

The changes underscore an uncomfortable reality in commercial broadcasting: heritage formats and loyal audiences sometimes give way to demographic shifts and revenue potential, regardless of cultural significance.

Chicago Blues Legend Billy Branch Announces New Album' The Blues Is My Biography’ Out November 7

c94dd936-d0aa-4266-ac22-b1c6e2a5fad5-1024x1024 image

Billy Branch is excited to announce the forthcoming release of The Blues Is My Biography on November 7th. This largely autobiographical album will be the first release for Rosa’s Lounge Records, a Chicago-based label. 

Billy’s latest single, unveiled today, is “Hole in My Soul.” It’s Billy’s statement about the essential importance and effect of connecting with the Blues, and features Bobby Rush contributing vocals and harmonica. “Hole In Your Soul” is an expression I’ve heard countless times over the years,” Billy states, “there was a Blues deejay in Chicago at WVON who used to say it all the time, and other artists have said it as well. It was time to put it into a song because I believe it to be true.”

The highly anticipated album, The Blues Is My Biography, was produced by Larry Batiste and recorded at Infinite Studios in Alameda, California, and JoyRide Studio in Chicago, IL. In addition to Bobby Rush, the album also features Shemekia Copeland, who adds guest vocals to “Begging For Change.” Billy’s band, The Sons of Blues, provides the instrumental accompaniment, while Larry Baptiste arranged the horns.  


The music on the album runs the gamut from the soulful strains of “Toxic Strain”” and the rugged R&B that identifies “All Your Bluff,” to the propulsive pacing of “Roaches,” the resolve and reflection shared in the title track, and the tell-tale call of “The Harmonica Man.” There’s an emphatic emotion echoing through “Toxic Love,” while “Real Good Friends” comes across as a good-time, upbeat romp. “How You Living?” is a pure hip-hop gem, an ideal companion piece to “The Ballad of the Million Men,” which finds Branch and company incorporating a solid reggae rhythm. The most telling song on the album may well be “The Harmonica Man.” “It’s as autobiographical as you can get, ” Billy insists.

“Every song on this album has special meaning to me in terms of my journey,” says Billy, “This is the most important work I’ve ever done, and it’s the best work I’ve ever done as well.”


At the age of 10, Billy bought his first harmonica at Woolworth’s and taught himself to play. A few years later, he delved into the Chicago blues scene and was mentored by such iconic individuals as James Cotton, Junior Wells, Carey Bell, Willie Dixon, and Big Walter Horton. In 1975, he gained his first high-profile experience performing with the Willie Dixon Chicago Blues All-Stars, a role he held for seven years. It eventually led to his signing with Alligator Records, where he performed on 1978’s Living Chicago Blues Volume Number 3 and 1990’s Harp Attack, featuring him alongside Carey Bell, Junior Wells, and James Cotton. He calls that album “My diploma and my PhD.”


In 1977, Billy became a band leader for the first time when he formed the group The Sons of Blues. This ensemble currently includes drummer Dionte “Musik “Skinner, keyboardist Sumito Ariyoshi, aka Ariyo, bassist Ari Seder, and guitarist Giles Corey. The prestigious Chicago Blues Festival honored the band in 2007 on their 30th anniversary and again ten years later, for their 40th. 

In addition to recording 15 albums with The Sons of Blues, he’s contributed harmonica playing to over 300 albums by such notables as Vince Gill, Billy Gibbons, Stephen Stills, Koko Taylor, Lonnie Brooks, Lou Rawls, Johnny Winter, Taj Mahal, Son Seals, Mike Mills of REM, Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon, and scores of others.  

As an ambassador for the blues, he has taken his music to the People’s Republic of China a dozen times, to the halls of Parliament in Turkey, to South and Central America, Mexico, Israel, throughout Europe, Africa, and Australia. He has also performed at numerous high-profile festivals, including the Chicago Blues Festival, the Montreux Jazz Festival, the North Sea Jazz Festival, the Long Beach Blues Festival, and the San Francisco Blues Festival. 



Billy is an award-winning musician, actor, and educator who carries the torch for the promotion and preservation of the blues. He’s been inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame and has received numerous awards and accolades throughout his 50-year career. He’s received an Emmy, three Grammy nominations, three Blues Music Awards, two Living Blues Awards, a pair of Keeping the Blues Alive Awards, the JJus’Blues Willie Dixon Lifetime Songwriters Award, and the Charles Walton Award for Outstanding Contribution to Black Music, to name just a few. HHe’salso served on the Grammy Board of Governors, the Board of Directors of the Little Walter Foundation, and the Blues Foundation Board of Directors. 


Billy’s work has also been included in the Grammy Museum’s Woody Guthrie installation, “Songs of Conscience, Sounds of Freedom.” And he’s also received two proclamations from the City of Chicago acknowledging his ongoing commitment to maintaining the legacy of Chicago Blues.  

“My wife, Rosa, keeps saying that my life is like a movie,” Billy nods. And indeed, the variety of music and messaging on the album fully reflect Billy’s commitment to craft and communication.”

New Music Alert: Check Out Fire Cracker By The Southern Soul All-Stars


Who are the Southern Soul All-Stars? Quite simply, they are a Southern Soul, R&B/Blues collective, put together For The People & By The People (Uniquely designed in tribute & in homage of their aptly named record label.)


There is a unique blend of multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated Artists, Writers, & Producers, which will be a revolving door of t.b.d. talent, moving forward to & through the recording of their t.b.d. LP slated for release in the Spring of 2026. The lead single entitled "Firecracker" is a parody of the 1979 mega-hit of the same title, which reached number 4 on Billboards Hot R&B/Soul Chart by the group Mass Production. Southern Soul All-Stars loosely interpolate the aforementioned Mass Production's melodies & lyrics, in a playful poke at our 45th President, Donald J. Trump! 


Even though there are no racial undertones in the lyrical content of "Firecracker," many at Mainstream R&B, Rhythmic & Top 40 radio, have steered away from even touching this record, simply out of fear of some type political retribution handed down by The President and his regime, amidst the cancelation of many talk-shiws and late-night broadcasts like Jimmy Kimmel that have simply spoken open, as well as honest & accurate truths & opinions about the present state of this Country under Trump. One thing's for sure: Southern Soul All-Stars will bite their tongues for noone! Whereas this is by no means a politically based group, ie, or , the viral aspect of this modernized version of "" will not be stopped!


Power to the people and even more power to the Southern Soul All-Stars for stepping up and defending their First Amendment right to "free speech" in today's ever-changing & evolving platforms to do so...
