The Daily Choice: Billy Walker - Matamoros

Feb 7, 10:53am Sound On The Sound
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 [...]

Preview John C. Reilly's Third Man Singles (Feat. Tom Brosseau & Becky Stark)

Nov 21, 2011, 9:01am Stereogum
Chest Rockwell is releasing a couple of singles on Third Man . Considering that Third Man label boss had a quick cameo as Elvis in Walk Hard , it's not too huge of a surprise that the Walk Hard star, longtime Hollywood character actor, and general funny motherfucker John C. Reilly has linked with him to release some music. But it's still pretty notable how seriously everybody's taking this thing. Read More...

A History of Country Vol. 13: 1972-74

Oct 25, 2011, 7:44pm Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
A History of Country Vol. 13: 1972-74 The traditional country stars — Conway Twitty, George Jones, Tammy Wynette Charlie Rich, Dolly Parton, Charley Pride — were still selling many records in the 1970s, and periodically crossed over to the pop charts. Singers like Donna Fargo evoked the good old days with happy songs like The Happiest Girl In The Whole USA. These were still the Opry years — in fact, in 1972 the Grand Ole Opry opened a theme park called Opryland, and wo years later moved out of its long-time home, the Ryman Theatre, to Opryland. But the Nashville scene no longer monopolised country, [...]

Mark Erelli Covers: Townes Van Zandt, Roy Orbison, Paul Simon, Porter Wagoner & 12 more!

Oct 24, 2011, 4:50pm Cover Lay Down
I've been a Mark Erelli fan ever since I saw him on stage at the 1999 Green River Festival, just two years after his 3 a.m. discovery at a folk conference hotel room jam. I was thrilled by the release of 2001 breakthrough album Compass and Companion, which brought several singles to local folk-and-roots radio station WRSI thanks to their close connection with the Signature Sounds label. And since then, I've discovered multiple connections between us - among them, a love of coverage, a love for the history and natural imagery of New England, [...]

A History of Country Vol. 12: 1969-71

Sep 21, 2011, 7:10pm Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
A History of Country Vol. 12: 1969-71 It was the age of the country songwriter, with people such as Harlan Howard (Heartaches By The Number), Hank Cochran (I Fall To Pieces), Roger Miller (Billy Bayou), Willie Nelson (Crazy), Mel Tillis (Detroit City), Tom T Hall (Harper Valley PTA) and the Bryants (Love Hurts) creating many classics. Some of them would become stars in their own right. None maybe more so than Kris Kristofferson, a man whose early biography reads like a far-fetched penny novel. Many of the songs he is known for were first recorded by others, sometimes several times. With the arguable exception of Me And [...]

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 [...]

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 , [...]

Remembering Porter Wagoner

Oct 26, 2010, 1:55pm The Lime Wire Blog
Remembering Porter Wagoner Three years ago today, the world of country music became a little bit dimmer with the passing of Porter Wagoner at the age of 80. A fixture in the business for over five decades, his career might surprise you. While he was definitely from the old school, with his trademark Nudie suits and honky-tonk sound, there was also a bit of a rebel streak to the West Plains, MO native. He was definitely not afraid to do things that hadn't been done before. In 1960, Wagoner began a weekly syndicated TV series that was one of the first of [...]

Murder Songs Vol. 4

Murder Songs Vol. 4 ... Porter Wagoner – The First Mrs Jones (1967).mp3 Once upon a time Mr Jones fell in love with Betty. He married her in September, but by November she had left him. And as Mr Jones tells his story, we can sort of see why. When Betty (he prefers to call her The First Mrs Jones) left, Mr Jones went into überstalker mode. He followed her to Savannah, New Orleans and Atlanta, pestering her to return to him. Then the drinking started [...]

Midnight shakes the memory

Jun 22, 2009, 3:18pm lonesome music
Midnight shakes the memory As a madman shakes a dead geranium. I seem to have done a fair bit of dead geranium shaking recently (literally and figuratively) and my northern exploits have meant that I've seen a fair whack of midnight sun. So, let's have some songs about the witching hour to celebrate the nights drawing in.

Rockin' the Jukebox

Jun 16, 2009, 8:55am 30 Days Out
Rockin' the Jukebox Lenny Bruce once said, the one machine made only for fun is the jukebox. It doesn't cut anything, or mash anything, or staple anything together, it just plays music. When I was a kid we used to go over to visit my grandmother in Louisiana, and she operated a small pool hall in Catahoula, deep in the swamps. I was fascinated with the jukebox - how it found the record you selected, placed it just so on the turntable and guided that needle with precision right to the first notes of the music. When the record man came every once [...]
