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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
The pedal steel guitar's journey to Nashville began in the Hawaiian Islands. Islanders would take an old guitar, lose the frets, raise the strings, and then slide the dull edge of a steel knife to sound wavering chords up and down the strings. Further tinkering from the Dopyer Brothers led to the invention of the Dobro, the classic bluegrass instrument. The Dobro eventually morphed into the lap steel, which when electrified was one of the first electric guitars , and along with ukulele became one of the signature sounds of Hawaii. After Gibson added pedals to their lap steel, calling [...]
High Geared Daddy - Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight ( Bear Family , 2008) is a good single disc look at Webb Pierce's 1950s work. If you can spring for it, Bear Family's 4 disc 1951 - 1958 collection is preffered but at 32 tracks, High Geared Daddy covers many of his classics from this era. Webb Pierce was hated by the Nashville establishment of the day but there's no getting around the fact that he redefined the honky tonk sound. Not only did he place 95 songs in the charts (13 top slots) but also created his own record [...]
Various Artists Keep Your Soul: A Tribute To Doug Sahm Vanguard Records Release Date: 03.24.09 Doug Sahm is a man whose role in Texas Music is not to be underestimated. Combining blues and country with the sounds of the Mexican music he heard growing up in San Antonio, Sahm was a fountain of music who died at 52 as one of the pillars of Tex-Mex music. Considered a child prodigy on the mandolin, steel guitar and fiddle, he made his debut on the Texas airwaves at age five. Taking the name Little Doug [...]
My teenage obsession with REM means I've always had a soft spot for their home state and thanks to my 'American cousin' John Barner living there I've been able to visit a few times. I vividly remember my first trip to Georgia , traveling along the kudzu lined highway in a Greyhound bus, listening to a tape of Murmur on my Walkman and being reminded of all the weird Southern images conjured up in those early REM songs. Georgia has inspired hundreds of [...]

I've really been getting into 1950's rock lately, especially the amazing Wanda Jackson . One song that really showcases her charm is Sparkling Brown Eyes , which is a 1959 cover of a Webb Pierce recording from four years earlier: Wanda Jackson - Sparkling Brown Eyes ( buy album ) The arrangement is great, but what really sells the song is Wanda's "sparkling" vocal. The way she sings " Them two brown eyes" is just killer. Her approach is so different from Webb's that it sounds [...]
Half A Dozen Great Songs About Booze I watched Martin Scorsese's phenomenal Bob Dylan documentary No Direction Home again last night. One of my favourite moments near the start of the film, when Bob's recalling the music that affected him growing up, is the clip of Webb Pierce , the best-selling country star of the 1950s, singing his Number 1 hit There Stands The Glass. MP3: Webb Pierce - There Stands The [...]
Along with my regular F45 features (Classic Recording Studios, Great Session Players, Sal's Boutique, Rock And Roll Hit & Lit), I'm going to drop in a few long-form mixes here and there. That's what I posted on F45 exclusively for the quite awhile, dating back to my debut in December 2006 (which you can still hear here ). It's been 6 months or so since I was last in the studio, so I'm a little rusty. The mixes aren't so tight and the flow is a little weird. But it's not bad. Hope [...]

Hello blog-o-sphere denizens. This is your captain speaking. Boy do I have a surprise for you today...a mix tape curated by Swan Fungus reader Sam! Not only was he kind enough to submit Tuesday's horrifying tale of man-on-man love that simply was not to be, he took the time to put together a rousing success of a mix tape.

Carnival SaloonCarnival Saloon regulars with long memories will know that I love 'answer songs'. In my recent post about Wanda Jackson's My Big Iron Skillet I mentioned Kitty Wells' 1952 single It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels , which was an answer song to Hank Thompson's The Wild Side of Life. What I didn't know until someone commented about that post on Facebook was that Kitty's second big hit Paying For That Back Street Affair was an answer song to the Webb Pierce track Back Street Affair.
