A History of Country Vol. 9: 1957-60

May 10, 2011, 11:14pm Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
A History of Country Vol. 9: 1957-60 In Volume 9 of the country history series, we look at the glory years of country, a time when the genre was at its most self-confident and profitable. It was still a vibrant genre, as this collection shows, though the crooners were already beginning to define the genre, a situation that would give rise to the outlaw movement, the protagonists of which were inspired by several of the artists on this mix. It’s difficult to say who was the biggest star in 1950s country. The crooner likes of Eddy Arnold were immensely successful, but in terms of sales [...]

In Memoriam – March 2011

Apr 3, 2011, 7:15pm Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
In Memoriam – March 2011 The Grim Reaper must be in need of a holiday after his brutally busy month.In fact, we're still finding his victims from last month. For example, the 20 February death of doo wop singer Willie Davis was announced only last week. Among this month's dead are Carl Bunch, a drummer who toured with Buddy Holly & the Crickets in early 1959. He was in hospital due to frostbite sustained on the unheated tourbus which Buddy, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper tried to rescape by taking the flight that killed them. [...]

Mar 19, 2011, 12:11am Geezer Music Club
Ferlin Husky Remembered With word received of the passing of country music legend Ferlin Husky, I thought I'd repost the piece I did on him about 3 years ago.

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 Closer Look at the Country Music Hall Of Fame’s Class of 2010

Feb 26, 2010, 2:32pm The Lime Wire Blog
A Closer Look at the Country Music Hall Of Fame’s Class of 2010 A few weeks ago, I offered a list of of artists/industry people who I think should be inducted into the Country Music Hall Of Fame. The post received the most response of any other that I have written so far. While many of agreed with some of my choices, others had their ideas own ideas. On Tuesday, the Hall announced the names of four new inductees, and each member of the class of 2010 was someone that was either named in the article or by LWMB's readers. Let’s take a look at those that will take their [...]

I’ll be closing up shop here on Tuesday evening. Until then, I’ll try to get requests and reposts up, but I’m also going to be posting some of my favorites. Thanks for all the great comments on the post yesterday—it means a lot that so many people follow this site. And thanks for the requests. I hope I hit on all of them, or at least tried.

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 [...]

Christmas on the Beach Part 3

Jul 5, 2008, 12:03pm Twelve Months of Christmas
13) Lundstroms-The Joys of Christmas Day From their 1981 release "Best of Christmas." They actually have quite a few Christmas releases under their belt. There is one more LP I have to transfer to MP3 to share later on in the year, and I hope to come across more as my collection grows. I can't say I think their music is the best...it capably written and enjoyable and at times it hits a good mark. However, what I appreciate most about this family's music is that Lowell Lundstrom managed to [...]

Crankin? Out The Classics - Country Style

EAR FARM's December 3rd Mix: Today's Musical Birthdays

Dec 3, 2007, 12:03pm EAR FARM
Today is my birthday, so I thought we might take a brief look and listen to some of the musicians (past and present) with whom I share a December 3rd birthday. Antonio Soler (December 3, 1729) - "was a Spanish composer whose works span the late Baroque and early Classical music eras. He is best known for his keyboard sonatas, an important contribution to the harpsichord, fortepiano and organ repertoire." Listen: "Concert en Fa Major, Núm IV: I. Afectuoso - Andante Non Largo" performed by Montserrat Torrent & Maria [...]
