What's That Song? (pt. 2)

Mar 17, 2:39am Boogie Woogie Flu
What's That Song? (pt. 2) Today is the second anniversary of Alex Chilton's untimely passing. Last year I posted a handful of the records that Alex covered. Today, I offer a few more of those songs that he lovingly interpreted over the years. Some you know, some you might not, all of them great. For more of these, tune into the archive of my March 14th show on WFMU's Rock 'n Soul Ichiban: HERE RIP LX Download: "Take [...]

A Good Year For The Wine (MP3)

Dec 28, 2011, 9:00am WFMU's Beware of the Blog
Ernest Tubb - A Good Year For The Wine (2:32) Ever notice how many crusty country honky-tonkers like Ernest Tubb seem to drink way more wine than you'd ever expect? Porter Wagoner comes to mind (One Dime For Wine, Daddy And The Wine, When I Drink My Wine) and so do Merle Haggard (Little Ole Wine Drinker Me, Wine Take Me Away), Faron Young (Wine Me Up), Johnny Bush (Back From The Wine, Waltz Of The Wine), and Bob Wills (Warm Red Wine) among others. These are, generally speaking, the kind of guys you'd expect [...]

10 country Christmas songs that are mostly not terrible

BRENDA LEE - I'm Gonna Lasso Santa Claus (1956)
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-

Any Major Country Christmas Vol. 1

Dec 14, 2011, 6:12pm Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
Any Major Country Christmas Vol. 1 Seeing as the History of Country series is proving so popular, let us put on a Santa-red Stetson and have a country Christmas. This lot is old-skool: Ernest Tubb riffs (badly) on his 1941 honky tonk classic, Loretta Lynn socks it to it disagreeable Santa, while Brenda Lee aims to lassoo him, yee ha. George Jones goes X-Mas twisting, and Buck Jones provides some serious pathos. And if you had to choose one man to sing Little Drummer Boy, it would have to be Johnny Cash, right? Hey, even horrid old Jingle bloody Bells sounds good here! [...]

A History of Country Vol. 11: 1965-68

Jul 28, 2011, 12:12am Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
A History of Country Vol. 11: 1965-68 In the slipstream of Johnny Cash came what would become known as the Outlaw Movement, an informal response to Nashville's easy listening, corporate and safe style, often recorded in Texas, reviving the honky tonk sounds of Hank Williams with strong lyrical content. Starting in the mid-'60s with singers like Bobby Bare, Tompall Glaser and Johnny Darrell, the sub-genre's standard bearers would include Waylon Jennings and his wife Jessi Colter, Willie Nelson (after he grew his hair), Kris Kristofferson, Leon Russell, Billy Joe Shaver, Hank Williams Jr, Jerry Jeff Walker and Gram Parsons. More traditionally-minded country stars, many mentored [...]

30/40 Days

May 6, 2011, 1:37am Boogie Woogie Flu
30/40 Days Ernest Tubb is gonna call up the gypsy woman. He's also sending out a worldwide hoodoo. Those are Chuck Berry's words of course, and it's a gift to us to hear Tubb sing them on his 1955 version of "Thirty Days" released two months after Chuck put out his second single for Chess. They both raced up the R&B and Country charts respectively, and established Chuck Berry as a first rate crossover artist/songwriter. Berry's guitar solo is chunky and rhythmic, soaring over and leading the rhythm section. Tubb calls out to his soloists: Billy Byrd, "Half-Moon" Bradley, and [...]

Ernest Tubb, The Old Troubadour (MP3s)

Feb 9, 2011, 9:31am WFMU's Beware of the Blog
Ernest Tubb, The Old Troubadour (MP3s) If he were still with us, Ernest Tubb would be celebrating his 97th birthday today. Tubb, one of the most reliably consistent honky-tonkers in the history of country music, died in 1984 after succumbing to emphysema. Behind the scenes, Tubb could be a handful especially when the occasional extended drinking bout brought his truculent side to the surface. Fans, however, loved him for his genial warmth and good humor so it's not terribly surprising that some tribute records emerged in the aftermath of his death. Fittingly, Tubb's own recording career, launched in 1936, began with a pair of [...]

A History of Country Vol. 7: 1952-53

Jan 26, 2011, 6:12pm Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
A History of Country Vol. 7: 1952-53 In this segment we briefly turn our focus on some of the individuals featured on this mix and the 1950/51 compilation . Pictured on the cover is the 1952 Cadillac in which Hank Williams died of heart failure on New Year's Day 1953, aged 30 (though he always looked much older than that). His was the first of a series of young celebrity deaths that created legends for all times. Among the more unexpected names in country must be that of Ole Rasmussen , a western swing bandleader who with [...]

A History of Country Vol. 5: Post-War Years – 1947-49

Oct 13, 2010, 6:32pm Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
A History of Country Vol. 5: Post-War Years – 1947-49 As before, this album refers to artists and songs featured on both 1940s compilations. The importance to country music of Ernest Tubb 's Walking The Floor Over You cannot be underestimated. It was not the first honky tonk record, nor the first to use the new-fangled electric guitar. But it was the first really big hit to use electric guitar solos, performed by Fay 'Smitty' Smith, and is considered the breakthrough record for honky tonk music, a label that was variously used for different genres, but now [...]

A History of Country Vol. 4: War Years – 1941-46

Sep 29, 2010, 7:12pm Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
A History of Country Vol. 4: War Years – 1941-46 By the early 1940s the crooners had begun to make their mark, with Jimmie Davies — future Democrat governor of Louisiana — having led the way. Many of them had toiled and crooned in the 1930s. But with a world war slowly engulfing the globe, the market wanted, and got, romance. More than that, men took their country songs with them to the army and disseminated the music among their fellow soldiers. Country music thus found new fans, and its leading singers — Roy Acuff, Gene Autry, Red Foley, Tex Ritter, Eddy Arnold — gained a national audience. In 1945, [...]

2010: Portrait of a Listener

Dec 22, 2009, 7:13am Pretty Goes with Pretty
As I mentioned yesterday, my attention this year, as far as music goes, has been diverted in a variety of ways. Doing a 2009 playlist seemed to miss the thrust of what my year was all about (and probably redundant with every other blog out there); doing a collection of old yet new-to-me stuff would have missed all the music that wasn't new to me that I spent so much time with. So instead I offer this: a 75-track playlist that comes as close as I can to giving some impression of what my listening year has really [...]

Jul 24, 2009, 12:42pm L.A. RECORD

They are working on a new album tentatively called 100 Years and singer-guitarist-activist Jon Langford speaks as he takes his dog to the vet. This interview by Chris Ziegler.

Friday Night Lights - A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall

Mar 28, 2009, 1:01am thus spake drake
Like the dark clouds over Dillon in this week's episode ("A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall,") NBC's impending renewal notices have had FNL fans reaching for their umbrella for the past couple months. But with the advent of Spring comes the rumors that not only will the series be renewed, but that it will get two 13 episodes seasons, thanks to a continuing deal with DirecTV ( EW 's Michael Ausiello says it "will be announced any day now" ). So there's that. But getting to the action, there's just [...]

Reading Rock: Lost Highway (3), "Hank Snow"

Jan 10, 2009, 9:07pm She's Making Whoopee in Hell Tonight...
Reading Rock: Lost Highway (3), "Hank Snow" Hank Snow, another of the Nudie Suit -wearing, honky tonkin' stars of early post-war country music is, for Peter Guralnick, a pair with Ernest Tubb. Both were profoundly shaped by their early exposure to Jimmie Rodgers, and worked to maintain his legacy (most notably at the Jimmie Rodgers Country Music Festival, annually in his hometown of Meridian, Mississippi). Both served long apprenticeships prior to "making it" in mainstream country, including unsuccessful stints in Hollywood trying to fit the Gene Autry mold. Both encapsulated the "Golden age" country sound, a sound that was the face of [...]

Pure Country: The Leon Kagarise Archives, 1961-1971

Jan 9, 2009, 8:26am Muzzle of Bees
Pure Country: The Leon Kagarise Archives, 1961-1971 I received a haul of new books over the holidays. I'm currently devouring the Neil Young biography, Shakey . One that I'm excited about getting into is Pure Country: The Leon Kagarise Archives, 1961-1971 . It's part coffee table page-turner and part country music almanac. A perfect tool for unearthing the long-forgotten, or in my case, an introduction to artists I've not been introduced to. The stunning photography of Leon Kagarise is surrounded by background stories and insight dropped on Ernest Tubb , Ray [...]
