The beginning of a real night of fifties Rock’n'Roll with many singers sitting in throughout the evening including Cliff Edmunds (the Avengers), a perfect rendering of ‘Move It’ and ‘Brand New Cadillac’; Pete Stockton ‘Girl Of My Best Friend’; Dave Sampson (the Hunters) sang ‘Love Me’; Danny Rivers, ‘Can’t You Hear My Heart’ plus Ray Lee (Dream Lover) and of course Rockin' Gerry Champion of the 2i’s coffee bar, rocked ‘I Go Ape’. Everybody was here not only to celebrate Keith’s birthday but also to thank him for all his great efforts in keeping the faith and attracting musicians from that magic time, way back when I was really young and played or jived the night away in Soho town.

  • Press Quotes
    PRESS QUOTES ASSOCIATED PRESS: Wise words pour forth from Chris Smither – observations and aphorisms, similes and internal rhymes, run-on sentences and concise quips, all in a conversational flow. The careful construction of Smither’s lyrics is a thing of beauty and the bedrock of his bluesy folk music. Smither is an excellent acoustic guitarist and first-rate foot-stomper. NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO: [Smither] taps his foot to keep the rhythm, much like the late blues legend John Lee Hooker. His finger-picked guitar lines are sleek, unhurried and insistent. And then there's the voice – equal parts gravel and molasses. (I edited a little out) ROLLING STONE: Bathed in the flickering glow of passing headlights and neon bar signs, Smither's roots are as blue as they come. There is plenty of misty Louisiana and Lightnin' Hopkins in Smither's weathered singing and unhurried picking. So fine. MOJO (5 STARS): Hundred Dollar Valentine is a thing of profound beauty; deep, sad, wise songs, allied to perfectly crafted arrangements, from a a man who’s live long enough in darkness to address the big, heavy questions with a lightness of touch. OXFORD AMERICAN It was that rhythmic push-and-pull, that New Orleans sensibility that made Smither stand out NEW YORK TIMES: With a weary, well-traveled voice and a serenely intricate finger-picking style, Mr. Smither turns the blues into songs that accept hard-won lessons and try to make peace with fate. MAVERICK: Cast your mind back to the first time you heard Hank Williams, Big Bill Broonzy or JJ Cale and remember how good it felt.

  • Billy Joe Shaver
    BIOGRAPHY: BILLY JOE SHAVER OUTLAW ERA’S TREND-SETTING SONGWRITER Billy Joe Shaver has recorded more than twenty albums, but his gritty songwriting has always outshined his career as a singer. That was especially true in 1973 when Waylon Jennings chose nine of Shaver’s songs for Honky Tonk Heroes, among the first and the best of the Outlaw albums. Willie Nelson has declared Shaver “definitely the best writer in Texas . Everything he writes is just poetry.” Born on August 16, 1939, in Corsicana, Texas, Billy Joe Shaver was raised by his grandmother after his father left the family and his mother took a job in Waco, sixty miles away. Shaver grew up listening to the Grand Ole Opry, as well as the rhythm and blues of Corsicana’s African American community, and he began writing songs by age eight. Once out of school, he took different jobs, including one in a lumber mill, where he accidentally cut off two fingers and part of a third on his right hand. “I wouldn’t ever have gone into music if I hadn’t lost big for me,” Shaver said. “I couldn’t possibly get them my fingers,” he said. across the way [Jennings] could.” Seeking a career in songwriting, Shaver finally was While there are no major hits on Honky Tonk Heroes, hired in 1968 at Bobby Bare’s publishing company in it is considered Jennings’s first important work of the Nashville. He got his big break in 1972 when Nelson Outlaw era. Shaver attracted other big-name artists, invited him to perform at his Fourth of July concert in including Bobby Bare, Johnny Cash, Tom T.

ARTICA HISTORY OF GUNS LA MAMOYNIA THE DAUGHTERS OF BRISTOL THE HOUSE OF USHER THOSE POOR BASTARDS THOSE POOR BASTARDS have created two stunning records in the ‘Country Bullshit’ EP and ‘Songs Of Despera- tion’ album, which introduce you to stories of murderous scumbags and lives of desolation, so don’t be put off by the country tag if that was unsettling your bowels. These are songs so rich in character they are melodic bank vaults just waiting to be torn open. Also, they don’t have any photos, so you’ll forgive my improvising but you need to know about this band now, so I chose not to wait.

Led by pacesetters such as Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Bobby Bare, artists in Nashville and Austin demanded the creative freedom to make their own country music, different from the pop-oriented sound that prevailed at the time. This exhibition also examines the cultures of Nashville and fiercely independent Austin, and the complicated, surprising relationships between the two. Artwork by Sam Yeates, Rising from the Ashes, Willie Takes Flight for Austin (2017) 3-6 Introduction 3 This interdisciplinary lesson guide allows classrooms to explore the exhibition Outlaws and Armadillos: Country’s Roaring ‘70s on view at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum® from May 25, 2018 – February 14, 2021. Students will examine the causes and effects of the Outlaw movement through analysis of art, music, video, and nonfiction texts. In doing so, students will gain an understanding of the culture of this movement; who and what influenced it; and how these changes diversified country music’s audience during this time.
