Doug Quattlebaum - Guitar & Vocals

Produced by Kenneth Godstein & Pete Welding
© 1962 Prestige-Bluesville Records

During the 1940s, Douglas Elijah Quattlebaum (1927) toured with a number of gospel groups, such as the Bells of Joy. In 1952, he recorded solo as a blues singer for the Gotham label. He was a forceful singer and guitarist, having been influenced by Blind Boy Fuller. In 1961, he was rediscovered in Philadelphia, singing and playing blues over the public address system of his ice-cream van, hence the title of his last recording, Softee Man Blues.
The forteen gripping, impassioned blues in this album will serve admirably to introduce the impressive talents of this singer and guitarist whose vital, fervently emotional performances restore to currency the art of the urban blues shouter in all its rousing, urgent intensity.

Doug Quattlebaum - Guitar & Vocals


Notes: Doug Quattlebaum has spent most of his life outside the music business, and those times that he was in were spent mainly singing gospel. Born in South Carolina in 1927, he came to Philadelphia in the early 1940s. In 1953 he cut three sides for Gotham records; two of them appeared on a Gotham 78, but the third was only rediscovered years later by Bruce Bastin and released on LP: it's the best of the three (Foolin' Me). In 1961 Pete Welding recorded Quattlebaum again, after hearing that he was still around - singing and playing for potential Mr. Softee ice cream customers on the streets of Philly, Doug's employment at the time. Scheduled for issue on a Testament album, the sides remained unissued until the release of this CD. A few months later Quattlebaum recorded for Bluesville, but to my knowledge that LP was never reissued on CD as were most Bluesvilles and is difficult to come by.

Quattlebaum's years singing gospel are reflected in this CD in that about half the tracks are gospel pieces. Among the best are He May Not Come When You Want Him, Sam Cooke's Touch the Hem of His Garment, and the gorgeous Come Over Here. It's Nobody's Fault But Mine is an 8-bar gospel tune, while Come Back, Baby sounds like a gospel song but is actually a blues. Doug inflects just about everything he sings with gospel mannerism, and his voice is melodic and strong. He often invaded the repertory of other blues-r&b-pop artists, and here sings stuff made famous by Brook Benton (Kidido), Charles Brown (Drifting Blues), and Ray Charles (Come Back Baby). A couple of tracks are short guitar instrumentals, though they are not that impressive. Quattlebaum played in the country blues format, accompanying himself on guitar, a style that urban Philadelphia probably didn't appreciate. But his singing and guitar playing are excellent, and his material quite varied despite the gospel influence. Country blues and gospel fans should enjoy this CD. ~ amazon
