The Daily Choice: Billy Walker - Matamoros

Billy Walker is my kind of country crooner. "Matamoros", a 1964 hit that played perfectly to Walker's silky, smooth tenor, is the tale of love lost on the high plains. It's a big Western soap opera with gunslingers and casinos and broken hearts. Walker was known for these sort of lilting tales of The West [...]

The Daily Choice: Stonewall Jackson - Waterloo

Stonewall Jackson is one of the reasons why honky-tonk country music exists to this day. Alongside Ray Price, Lefty Frizzell and Hank Williams, Mr. Jackson helped define the hard-driving sound that became so popular in the 50s and 60s. I stumbled across Mr. Jackson on some patched together best of country tape, and was blown [...]

In Memoriam – September 2011

In Memoriam – September 2011 The headline death this past month was that at 75 of Sylvia Robinson, who featured on this blog before with her 1973 hit "Pillow Talk", a song taught Donna Summer all she needed to know about pleasured moaning to a disco beat. But Robinson was much more important than that. As the founder of Sugar Hill Records, she produced and released the first ever rap hit ("Rappers' Delight"). Robinson's label also released what I still regard as the greatest rap record of all time, Grandmaster Flash's monumental "The Message". Also notable is the death a day later of [...]

A History of Country Vol. 11: 1965-68

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 [...]

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

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 [...]

A History of Country Vol. 9: 1957-60

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 [...]

State Songs #23: Michigan

State Songs #23: Michigan You thought I'd given up? I'm making no promises as to when this journey will end but, at last, I'm back on my musical journey around the United States . Before the tunes, one great piece of trivia about the Great Lake State. Did you know that Michigan is home to the self-proclaimed "magic capital of the world"? That's Colon, Michigan , the world's largest manufacturer of magic supplies. Me neither. Right, let's get to it. MP3: Sufjan Stevens - Say Yes! to M!ch!gan! [...]

Ramblin' Fever with DJs Poncho & Lefty

Ramblin' Fever with DJs Poncho & Lefty It's a little-known fact that TDoL is big into country-not the nonsense that passes as country today, but the good stuff. Tonight I'm gonna dust off my crate of country records, this time with my good man Robert Ham over at The Voice of Energy , and spin some rootin' tootin' cowboy songs. This honkey tonk kicks off at 9 p.m. at my favorite funeral-parlor-turned music venue The Woods . Expect to hear one or more of the following: Buck Owens and his Buckaroos , Porter Wagoner , Montana Slim , [...]

A History of Country Vol. 8: 1954-56

A History of Country Vol. 8: 1954-56 Some years ago, the brains at Rolling Stone grappled to identify the first ever rock & roll record. In the final face-off, they picked Elvis Presley's debut single That's All Right, a cover of R&B singer Arthur Crudup's song, over Bill Haley's Rock Around The Clock (itself a cover, though the song was actually written for the former western swing singer). It is, of course, a fruitless mission to identify a "first" rock & roll song, because the genre is a jumble of diverse influences that convened, not always simultaneously, in an untidy evolution. One might [...]

A History of Country Vol. 7: 1952-53

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. 6: Before Rock & Roll – 1950-51

A History of Country Vol. 6: Before Rock & Roll – 1950-51 After a hiatus of a few months we return to the history of country music. In the last narrative instalment ( Volume 4 ) we noted the rise of female country singers; some of them will feature in this mix, which covers the years 1950-51, and its follow-up, 1952-53. In the course of the 1950s we will also review country's contribution to rock & roll, and discuss some of the artists featured. What follows then is a brief overview of country music in the 1950s.

With silence and tears

With silence and tears Have you noticed that things have looked a bit weird round here recently? Naughty blogger has had some kind of upgrade and made all the formatting go a bit skew whiff. Now, this isn't the kind of thing that keeps me up at night, but I am genuinely a bit upset that it's eaten all of our comments . Yep, every single one of the notes that you've left for us, the hidden tracks we've left for you, the ruminations and general whimsy - all gone. Gah. [...]

New David Gray Video

New David Gray Video So I am a little behind in sharing this with you, but David Gray has a new album coming out towards the end of next month. The album will be titled Draw the Line and is being released on Downtown Records . I haven't always been the biggest fan of David Gray, but between my wife and I there isn't an album that one of us doesn't own. So I am sure that at least one of us will end up owning and loving Draw the Line . He's released a new single from the record, [...]

What Old School Country Troubadours Do It for You?

You know what kills me? I'll tell you what. When scene kids and trust-fund hipsters admit to enjoying a little classic country and western, it's only for the kitsch value. Sure it's fun when irony is involved, but really it's just for rednecks and idiots. So when you talk about putting someone like Johnny Cash or Townes Van Zandt in the same stratosphere as Bob Dylan or Leonard Cohen - well, you get laughed [...]
