Courtesy of kidrock.comCountry rap, or "hick-hop" as it's sometimes called, may seem to capture either the height of musical irony, or the height of its stupidity. Probably both. But in the book The A

Jerry Reed: The Unbelievable Guitar & Voice of Jerry Reed / Nashville Underground

Jun 3, 2012, 8:36pm Hyperbolium
Jerry Reed: The Unbelievable Guitar & Voice of Jerry Reed / Nashville Underground Jerry Reed’s country and Nashville Sound beginnings Singer, songwriter and certified guitar player Jerry Reed found his musical calling as a child, and by the time he turned 18 in 1955, he was already making records. Sides cut for Capitol (catch the rockabilly “When I Found You” here ), NRC and Columbia failed to ignite a performing career, but his songwriting and session guitar work garnered traction in Nashville. By 1965 he’d come to the attention of Chet Atkins, and two years later he released his debut LP, The Unbelievable Guitar & [...]

Standards: Wayfaring Stranger(s)

Jan 26, 2012, 11:59am Star Maker Machine
Standards: Wayfaring Stranger(s) Maria McKee: Wayfarin' Stranger [ purchase ] Jerry Reed: Wayfaring Stranger [ purchase ] "Wayfaring Stranger" is a standard in the folk music catalog, dating back to the 19th century. A religious ballad, it gained new meaning during the 1930s, with lyrics seemingly reflecting the plight of the displaced and homeless -- poor wayfaring strangers, "traveling through this world of woe." In the 1940s, it became a signature tune for Burl Ives, who named both his autobiography [...]

Song Swarm: Georgia On My Mind

Oct 12, 2011, 1:01am Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
Song Swarm: Georgia On My Mind Georgia On My Mind is most commonly associated with Ray Charles. It appears on every tribute album to Ray, and Willie Nelson (who recorded the song in 1978) sang it at his funeral.  But Georgia was a standard long before Ray Charles made it his own. It was written by Hoagy Carmichael and lyricist Stuart Gorrell in 1930. The story goers that the Georgia of the title was originally intended to refer to Hoagy’s sister, but realising that Gorell’s words could apply also to the southern US state, the writers were happy to keep things ambiguous. The plan [...]

Tale Of A Treacherous Pine Tree

Mar 5, 2011, 12:09am Geezer Music Club
We have a huge pine tree in our front yard, and it's situated dangerously close to the garage. The danger exists because the tree has grown so large and mature through the years that it's now susceptible to losing limbs every time we have heavy snow, or ice, or even strong winds. We've had it trimmed several times  but it still seems to regularly find unwanted parts of itself to jettison, and I worry that it's only a matter of time before a big branch crashes through the roof of the garage. I don't know a lot about [...]

TOP FIVE: TRUCKIN’ SONGS

Oct 13, 2010, 2:17pm Nine Bullets
TOP FIVE: TRUCKIN’ SONGS I gave AIV the train song idea and ended up not being to get my shit together and my head above water at work to do the post and I was a little disappointed by that. So I decided that this week I'd drop another classic country and western song genre on you guys and write the post before I told AIV the idea so I would get to post this time. This week is Truckin' Songs. My daddy was a trucker when I was born and somewhere there is a picture of me knee high to him standing beside [...]

Remember The Rose Bowl, We'll Win Then

Jan 12, 2010, 12:51am The Adios Lounge
Remember The Rose Bowl, We'll Win Then It ain't every day that a guy's favorite team wins the championship in glorious, tradition-rich college football. And if that guy's favorite team is the Alabama Crimson Tide ... his alma mater, no less ... then perhaps a musical celebration is in order. So, in honor of my beloved Tide and their 14-0 run to Waterford crystal , I've put together a 40-minute playlist of songs dedicated to Alabama. You get some twang, some folk, a little jazz, and of course we rock the house. A couple choices are Crimson Tide specific, others [...]

10 Great Georgia Artists

Sep 8, 2009, 12:11pm The Lime Wire Blog
The late, great Ray Charles sang about her with love and tenderness. Little Feat memorialized the capital, and Blind Willie McTell sang about waking up with the Statesboro blues. Georgia has a long lineage of native sons and daughters who've gone on to musical greatness. Here are 10 acts from the Peach State, whose music is sure to keep Georgia on your mind. 1. Allman Brothers Band I know, “technically” the Allman Brothers are from Jacksonville, Florida, but they moved to Macon in 1969 and [...]

Rodney Crowell “Heartbroke”

Feb 10, 2009, 12:22pm JamsBio Magazine
What's most striking to me about Rodney Crowell is how much of a mover and shaker he was in the country music scene during the mid-to-late 1970s right on through the 1980s.

I'll confess to struggling to think of more songs that arguably relied upon a good story to make the charts, at least without the terrors of actually researching the subject (rather than the details); however, a tune came into my head whilst walking, which memory said was more reminiscing than story-telling... but on reflection, I think it fits the bill perfectly, being by far the biggest selling Kinks single for many years, on both sides of the Atlantic. ♫ Come Dancing [...]

HBO Steals The Title Of One Of My Favorite Songs [Next Week: A Tribute To Red Sovine]

Jan 13, 2009, 11:30am Idolator
HBO Steals The Title Of One Of My Favorite Songs [Next Week: A Tribute To Red Sovine] As someone who really enjoyed the martial arts farce The Foot Fist Way , the news that the film's masterminds (including the movie's star, Danny McBride) have a new HBO show called Eastbound And Down was exciting. Finally, the pay-cable comedy series focused on the world of trucking that I've waited my entire life for. And clearly the title is a tribute to the late Jerry Reed's single originating from his co-starring role in Smokey And The Bandit . Unfortunately, in a heartbreaking move, the show has absolutely nothing to do with trucking as [...]
