The Dixiebelles: Down At Papa Joe's (LP)

(Sound Stage 7) 12 tracks - Original 1963 'Sound Stage 7' LP album from the Dixiebelles -
Produced by Bill Justis and recorded at Sam Phillips' 'Phillips Recording Studio' - U.S. Stereo Pressing

I first heard Down at Papa Joe's while driving home from downtown Nashville late one afternoon. It absolutely elated me. It sounded wholesome, friendly, yet it had a ferocious beat. But the ferocity was kindly tempered with a smattering of real, slick, well-played Dixieland. Moreover, the song is a celebration of the first tune I ever learned how to play on the piano: that one in which you roll your knuckles up three black keys and knock the C# twice, then roll your knuckles down the same three keys and knock the E-flat twice. (But, I sadly report, this curious and nostalgic interlude has been left out of Papa Joe's, per-haps for the better.)

Papa Joe's is a place anywhere (although this song is inspired by a place in New Orleans that serves fried chicken and turnip greens) where happy people congregate and eat their favorite food. Such as fried chicken and turnip greens.  In today's atmosphere of harsh, homiletic vindictives hurled in the face of our "brutal", "immoral", "obscene" juvenile population, Papa Joe's seems a figment of the twilight zone: They get a little mad but they don't fight, down at Papa Joe's.

Jerry Smith wrote Down at Papa Joe's which I am sure will be to his everlasting credit. Bill Justis arranged and produced this very colorful LP with loving-care. Please note that the paper circles on either side of the record bear the name "Sound Stage 7". It's a new label fostered by Fred Foster as a subsidiary of Monument Re-cords, of which Foster is both Founder and President. A whole generation separates Dixieland from rock and roll. The Dixie Belles with their accomplices, music director Smith and producer arranger Justis, bring the two mu-sical types into a wonderful, eu-phonic, glorious expression of a new sound, a new world.

"The Dixiebelles"



Die in Memphis lebenden Dixie Belles genossen 1963 einen kurzen Moment im Rampenlicht, als sie mit ihrer ersten Single "(Down At) Papa Joe's" einen Top Ten Pop-Hit erzielten. Mit "Southtown U.S.A." hatten sie auch einen Top-20-Follow-up-Hit. Mary Hunt, Mildred Pratcher und Shirley Thomas hatten zuvor als Backgroundsänger im Süden gearbeitet, aber ihre Karriere begann erst 1963, als sie den Produzenten Bill Justis, den Mann hinter den Boards von Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash und Jerry Lee Lewis in den 1950er Jahren trafen. Justis hatte sogar sein eigenes Maß an Erfolg mit dem Instrumentalhit "Raunchy". Fred Foster, der Präsident von Monument Records, unterzeichnete Justis und seine Schützlinge bei seinem Label und wählte für ihre erste Single die ungewöhnliche "(Down At) Papa Joe's", die damit begann, dass die Mädchen unkontrolliert zum Klang des Dixieland-Klaviers lachten und in eine Ode an einen alten Salon übergingen, wo "sie Brathuhn und Kohlgrün servieren". Der Song erwies sich als sehr beliebt, kletterte auf Platz neun der Pop-Charts und sorgte sogar für einen klanglichen Nachfolger, "Southtown U.S.A.", der in die Top 20 aufstieg.

Ein von Bill Justis produziertes Album namens (Down At) Papa Joe's (engineered by Billy Sherrill) wurde schnell veröffentlicht. Es folgte die dritte Single der Dixie Belles, die dem Stil ihrer beiden Vorgänger folgte. Dieser klickte jedoch nicht und schaffte es trotz viel Airplay nicht in die Top 100. Die Dixie Belles wurden von Monument abgesetzt und es folgten keine weiteren Singles. Die Gruppe ging vermutlich getrennte Wege und es ist nicht bekannt, ob sie sich jemals zu einer Tour zusammengeschlossen haben.
