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, [...]

In Memoriam – August 2011

Sep 4, 2011, 11:43pm Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
The two most notable deaths in August happened on the same day: the 22nd. I've already paid tribute to Nick Ashford (HERE) ; on the same day that great songwriter passed away, Jerry Leiber died. I don't think it's necessary to go into detail about the Leiber & Stoller story other than to say that they had a crucial impact on the development of rock & roll. Leiber was the lyricist, and as such got Elvis Presley to sing the great line in Jailhouse Rock: "Number 47 said to number 3,'You're the cutest [...]

6am repeat :: nitty gritty dirt band // mr bojangles

May 12, 2011, 1:58pm folk hive
6am repeat :: nitty gritty dirt band // mr bojangles 6am Repeat is a recurring feature here at Folk Hive in which we stream the latest track that plays incessantly in the earbuds when we awake at that hour and imbibe massive amounts of coffee and cigarettes in preparation for the advancing day. Consider it your jam of the day — a sweet, sweet gift from me to you. I love you, dude. HOLY SHIT. Hello again, childhood. To see a band like Nitty Gritty, featured at Daytrotter this morning, is just fantastic. The good shit never goes bad, ya'll. This [...]

Fiddle & Violins: Orange Blossom Special

Apr 16, 2011, 5:44pm Star Maker Machine
Fiddle & Violins: Orange Blossom Special Vassar Clements & the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band : Orange Blossom Special [ purchase ] I've danced around not posting any obvious songs this week, but heck with it. If we can't post Vassar Clements on fiddle week, then what can be said for us? And Orange Blossom Special is known as the fiddle player's national anthem, so it's a natural fit. Will the Circle Be Unbroken was the first bluegrass album I'd ever heard, and it came [...]

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (self-titled)

Feb 7, 2011, 9:52am The Rising Storm
The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (self-titled) The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is perhaps best known for helping to bridge the gap between the older generation of American folk musicians coming out of the 1940s and 1950s, and the rock and roll youth of the 1960s. Their seminal double record Will the Circle Be Unbroken presented the band alongside a number of country and bluegrass luminaries such as Maybelle Carter and Roy Acuff, and more or less proved that American musical traditions could span the generation gap. Listeners dropping the needle on the Dirt Band's self-titled debut for the first time may be [...]

YTC – Nashville – Concert List – Week Ending 1/30/11

YTC – Nashville – Concert List – Week Ending 1/30/11 Chick Pic found at www.hiren.info Not a ton of life-changing shows going on this week, but here's what grabbed me: The Bluebird Café seems to be the place to be this month. The city's most successful songwriters have been donating their time and talents to help out Alive Hospice . Bluebird is famous for being a starting place for many writers and artists (including Garth Brooks and Taylor Swift). Their songwriter and open mic nights are a great way for Nashville newcomers to get their feet wet and meet other [...]

Flower Communion Sunday: because you are my flower, and I love you.

Jun 20, 2010, 5:33pm Cover Lay Down
Flower Communion Sunday: because you are my flower, and I love you. Ah, Flower Communion Sunday. Traditionally the last Sunday service before a Universalist Unitarian parish moves to a lay-led summer, the Flower Communion celebrates both the contributory nature of the UU community and the natural world by bringing the blooming world into the church at its last, and then letting it go back out again as we ourselves turn to the world of social justice and peace-making. The beauty and diversity of life - of our own, and the bounty of the land - is present in the rich cornucopia of the green-stemmed bounty. [...]
