10 country Christmas songs that are mostly not terrible

Dec 22, 2011, 9:00am City Pages - Gimme Noise
John Denver live in Valley Forge, Devon PA (2 December 1996) - Please Daddy Don't Get Drunk
Country music singers sure do love their Christmas songs. Now why is that? I reckon it has a little bit to do with the holiday's celebration of all things traditional, and down home-y, and old-

A History of Country Vol. 10: 1961-64 – The Comfort Years

Jun 15, 2011, 1:03am Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
A History of Country Vol. 10: 1961-64 – The Comfort Years In the late 1950s and early ’60s country was in a good shape. The likes of Johnny Cash, George Jones,  Jim Reeves, Patsy Cline (who like Reeves would die in a plane crash), Don Gibson, Kitty Wells, Marty Robbins, Skeeter Davis, Ray Price, Faron Young, Ernest Tubb, ex-boxer Lefty Frizzell and Wanda Jackson were recording prodigious success, even in rivalry with its progeny, rock & roll.These were the comfort years before the social upheaval of the 1960s put into question old certainties, even in the world of country music. By now, country was no longer confined to the [...]

Hull | NYC @ Public Assembly | 25 Oct 2010
Didja hear the good news? New York's own awesomer-than-thou Hull are currently working on the follow-up to last year's nut-crushingly heavy Sole Lord! Metal Injection tells us that the still-to-be-titled record will be co-produced by "former drummer Brett Romnes and will be mixed by Bill Anderson (Sleep, High On Fire, Neurosis, EHG, Melvins)."

Hello Mrs. Johnson, You Old Self-Righteous Biddy

Jul 13, 2010, 9:59am The Gentlebear
Hello Mrs. Johnson, You Old Self-Righteous Biddy I've been meaning to post this one for a while. O.B. McClinton was a minor figure in the country world. This might have had something to do with being on Enterprise Records, a subsidiary of Stax Records. Enterprise released Isaac Hayes first record, and was meant to be Stax's jazz label. However, Enterprise releases ended up being quite diverse-  blues harmonica, dirty funk, straight-up country- it had it all. Besides Isaac Hayes releases, the label was never that successful financially, and it folded in 1973. Randy's Rodeo was [...]

Bill Anderson: The Pen Keeps Writing For A “Songwriter”

Jun 3, 2010, 3:12pm The Lime Wire Blog
Bill Anderson: The Pen Keeps Writing For A “Songwriter” Bill Anderson has written some of country music’s all-time chilling songs. Whether it be about the cheating couple that meets their end in “The Cold Hard Facts Of Life” by Porter Wagoner, or about a father struggling to keep going after the passing of his wife in his own “Five Little Fingers,” sometimes a box of Kleenex is essential while listening to his songs. That’s why some of the cuts on his new Songwriter disc might surprise you. While a few of the tracks do have a serious lean, he also lets loose with a [...]

Joe Nichols: Singing About ‘New Things’ And ‘Old Friends’

Nov 3, 2009, 5:32pm The Lime Wire Blog
Take one listen when Joe Nichols sings and one thing is apparent. He is a country singer. That direction has been very apparent from the start - even when it “cost” him a chance to go with another style. “I had a rock and roll phase for about ten minutes when I was in the ninth grade,” the singer joked to LimeWire Music Blog. “I was in a rock band until I sang my first rock song, and the drummer said ‘You might be a little too country for this band.’ I said ‘I figured I was, but [...]

Bill Anderson: He Writes The Songs

Oct 13, 2009, 5:54pm The Lime Wire Blog
There may be (Bob McDill, Hank Williams, Harlan Howard) songwriters in Nashville that have enjoyed equal success to Bill Anderson, but nobody matches the Grand Ole Opry star when it comes to longevity among his peers. Over five decades since his first hit, with Ray Price’s “City Lights,” the singer is still churning out material for some of Country’s top artists today. Over the past five years, he has taken home two Song Of The Year trophies for hits such as “Whiskey Lullaby” and “Give It Away,” and has current cuts by acts such as Paisley and Joe Nichols. He [...]

The Cold Hard Facts Of Life (MP3s)

Aug 15, 2008, 2:58pm WFMU's Beware of the Blog
The Cold Hard Facts Of Life (MP3s) Since there's no such thing as too much overkill, today we're shining the spotlight on a ridiculously generous sampling of The Cold Hard Facts Of Life, one of singer and songwriter Bill Anderson's most expertly-crafted tunes. Sure, Anderson wrote a plethora of great songs, but for my money none of them tops The Cold Hard Facts Of Life. Originally recorded by Porter Wagoner in late 1966, the song tells the story of a hapless chump who returns home from a business trip a few days earlier than expected only to find his wife gettin' busy [...]

The Hyper-Patriotic Hit Single (MP3s)

Nov 1, 2006, 11:30am WFMU's Beware of the Blog
The Hyper-Patriotic Hit Single (MP3s) (MP3s: 17 of them beyond the jump) I started collecting spoken word political records when I picked up the 45 rpm version of "The Altered Nixon Speech" at Sam Goodies in 1973. Since then, I've collected everything from Barry Goldwater campaign songs to the Mandarin version of Mao's Little Red Book. But the one genre of political record I hold dearest is the hyper-patriotic spoken word single. There hasn't been one of these on the charts since the Fall of 2001, when Byron Macgregor's 1974 hit Americans re-charted in the aftermath of 9/11. And [...]
