If Roy Acuff hadn't been born on this day 1903 in Maynardville, Tennessee, third of Ida Carr and Simon E. Neill Acuff's five children, Tennessee might not be the hillbilly capital of the world
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 [...]
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, [...]
The second article in the history of country music covered the trends and artists of the depression and pre-war years, 1930-41. Here we'll look at some of the songs of the era. The photo on the cover comes from a superb series of colour photos from the US in the 1930s and '40s . * * * Rock 'n' roll grew out of R&B and various shades of country, especially rockabilly, a sub-genre [...]
Filed under: News It seems like this should have happened a long time ago, but on Jan. 29, rock 'n' roll icon Roy Orbison will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Orbison was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame back in 1987 and while most people think of the Walk of Fame as honoring stars of the silver screen, it's long honored recording musicians and broadcasters. Other notable musicians on the Walk include the Beatles , the Beach Boys , Dizzy [...]

If that sentence wasn't enough to get you to press play on the songs below, then I just don't know what to do with you. So, press play down there and then continue reading.

Roy Acuff - Wabash Cannonball ( buy ) Roy Acuff (1903-1992) was a major figure in country music's coming of age. He was the one who took old time Appalachian music and made it something big, something new, adding pop elements, new instruments (like the dobro). He is less acclaimed now than Hank Williams, The Carter Family or Jimmie Rodgers, but in my opinion he was the first "modern" country star, paving the way for Hank and honky tonk. Unlike Jimmie or Hank Williams, he was not a rebel (he [...]
Inspired by my trouble with problems post, I determined to motivate myself and get all the nagging items on my *to-do* list done, including the oxygen sensor for my car. The better part of three days and $200 later, mission accomplished. I was ecstatic getting it out of the way, the only auto-related thought entering my brain in the near future would be the high price of gas. The next day, I woke-up with a hankering for eggs , opened the fridge and to my stomach's dismay, found none were nesting. Nothing [...]
Looking back over the last few posts, I realized that some of the songs I posted are recognized by a few states as official State Songs. Every state, with the exception of New Jersey, has at least one song officially designated as a State Song. Most are obscure, forgettable numbers played only at official functions, but several states have adopted more memorable songs. In the Stephen Foster post, I included two songs that have been granted special status by state legislatures, "Old Folks at Home" (Way Down Upon The Swanee River) is the official song of the state [...]
Last week's exercise in futility of trying to determine the most representative song in a genre, in this case country music, seems to have proved what I have been preaching on the Bus for going on three years now: Music, the music of North America in particular, is a beautiful quilt sewn from many different scraps of cloth. I believe the trouble starts when we try to define any music into a neat little square. Country music is a relatively new musical genre, created through the interweaving of many other styles, many of which are hybrids in [...]

Well folks, I'm gonna be out of town for the next several days, in Memphis TN, the jewel of the mid-south and one of my favorite places. So, feeling a strange obligation to keep all of you readers amused, I've compiled a little playlist of songs concerning Memphis. None of these mp3's are from actual records (i.e. 78's or 45's) like in my ordinary posts, but they're all good and I'm sure some of will you prefer the less noisy recordings. Plus, it's really a bitch to find a copy of Mott The Hoople on 78. There were several [...]
If Cajun music has an anthem it is Jolie Blonde (My Pretty Blonde) . The lament of a man who's 'pretty blonde' has left him for another man. Breaux Frères (the Breaux Brothers) were a very popular Cajun band of the mid 1920s. The family band consisted of Cléoma Breaux on guitar, and her brothers, Amédé on accordion, Ophé on guitar, and Cléopha on the fiddle. On April 18, 1929 Breaux Frères recorded Ma Blonde Est Partie (My Blonde Left) in Atlanta, Georgia. The record was an overwhelming hit in Louisiana and got the attention [...]

L.A. RECORDEarl Scruggs started out picking banjo for Bill Monroe but made his name and fame with Lester Flatt as Flatt and Scruggs until 1969. After that, he took his family and friends out as the Earl Scruggs Revue and covered Dylan and shared songs with the Byrds. He speaks now (with son and musician Gary) before his performance at Stagecoach. This interview by Dan Collins.

Well folks, I'm gonna be out of town for the next several days, in Memphis TN, the jewel of the mid-south and one of my favorite places. So, feeling a strange obligation to keep all of you readers amused, I've compiled a little playlist of songs concerning Memphis. None of these mp3's are from actual records (i.e. 78's or 45's) like in my ordinary posts, but they're all good and I'm sure some of will you prefer the less noisy recordings. Plus, it's really a bitch to find a copy of Mott The Hoople on 78. There were several [...]

A few old favorites: Jolie Blonde

If Cajun music has an anthem it is Jolie Blonde (My Pretty Blonde) . The lament of a man who's 'pretty blonde' has left him for another man. Breaux Frères (the Breaux Brothers) were a very popular Cajun band of the mid 1920s. The family band consisted of Cléoma Breaux on guitar, and her brothers, Amédé on accordion, Ophé on guitar, and Cléopha on the fiddle. On April 18, 1929 Breaux Frères recorded Ma Blonde Est Partie (My Blonde Left) in Atlanta, Georgia. The record was an overwhelming hit in Louisiana and got the attention [...]

Roy Acuff, the King of Country Music

There's Always Someone Cooler Than You
There's Always Someone Cooler Than You"To hell with Roy Acuff!", tel était le cri de guerre des troupes japonaises contre l'US Army lors la 2nde guerre mondiale. Voilà qui en dit long sur la popularité du chanteur qui dans les années 40 cotoyait Franck Sinatra en tête du hit-parade. Pourtant la vocation première du jeune Roy Claxton Acuff né à Maynardville au Tennessee en 1903, c'était le base-ball. Il était d'ailleurs promis à une
