  • Dr. Ralph, the Ryman, & the Redneck Taco: Martin's BBQ Joint of Nolensville, Tennessee
    Dr. Ralph, The Ryman, & the Redneck Taco: Martin’s BBQ Joint of Nolensville, Tennessee Posted on July 22, 2013 I finally made good on a trip I’d wanted to make for some time. I headed north to Nashville’s legendary Ryman Auditorium for one of their summer Bluegrass Nights. The equally legendary, and nearly as old, Ralph Stanley was headlining in possibly his last full concert appearance at the Mother Church. A farewell concert by a first generation Bluegrass legend at ground zero for Bluegrass music was a recipe for success. Always on the lookout for new places to eat, I noticed that Southern food guru John T. Edge had listed something called the Redneck Taco at Nolensville’s Martin’s BBQ Joint on his Garden & Gun 100 Southern Foods. There’s not a better combination than barbeque and Bluegrass, so I put Nolensville onto my travel map and started toward Nashville. Martin’s apparently used to be a bit more of a hole in the wall (which I enjoy), but the new place is a stand alone building in nicer shopping area. Good sign number one: smoke was billowing out. The smell of pork filled the air. The inside is properly porky, signs and artifacts cover the walls. The restaurant was busy, but there was no wait time when I was there. You walk by a very large menu board that highlights “The Notorious Redneck Taco.” There are several meat options, each with its own sauce recommendation. I went with the basic pulled pork with Sweet Dixie Sauce.

  • Carl Jackson- Musical Dream Maker
    Carl Jackson- Musical Dream Maker By Lee Kotick Carl Jackson is a musical architect, bridge builder, and dreamer. He’s a one of a kind man; a humble networker who enriches others’ lives. Jackson’s mantra is, “With each dream that becomes a reality, a new dream lies ahead.” Many of his dreams have come true. He’s not just a gifted musical producer, but a most influential guy who perhaps is singularly responsible for the creation of one of the major bridges between bluegrass and country from the 1960s to the present. His feet are firmly planted in both genres. Jackson’s humility would cause him to disagree with such homage. Make no mistake, bluegrass and country go together other like ham and eggs. Jackson’s body of work in bluegrass and country is unrivaled for its time period. Just as Glen Campbell and Jim and Jesse took a young banjo playing Jackson under their wings, he in turn takes on talented young artists, nurtures them and teaches them to fly on their own. As a good song must have a great title, so must dreams be built on bridges providing artists connections between episodes of their dreams. While he’s fulfilled many of his own dreams, Jackson is called to make others’ dreams come true. Our country’s greatest artists want to be affiliated with Jackson’s projects, and to a person, they clearly love and admire him. This is a man who has reached the epitome of musical production in our genres. The Man Jackson was born in 1953 in a small clinic above the Strand Theatre in Louisville, MS.

  • SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION 803 By
    SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION 803 By Henry A RESOLUTION to honor the memory of Earl Scruggs, an American musical treasure. WHEREAS, the members of this General Assembly and music fans around the globe were greatly saddened to learn of the passing of bluegrass music legend and American treasure, Mr. Earl Scruggs; and WHEREAS, Earl Scruggs was revered around the world as a musical genius whose innovative talent on the five-string banjo pioneered modern banjo playing and he crafted the sound we know as bluegrass music. We will never see his superior; and WHEREAS, born on January 6, 1924, in Flint Hill, North Carolina, Earl Eugene Scruggs was the son of George Elam Scruggs, a farmer and bookkeeper who played the banjo and fiddle, and Lula Ruppe Scruggs, who played the pump organ in church; and WHEREAS, after losing his father at the age of four, Earl Scruggs began playing banjo and guitar at a very young age, using the two-finger picking style on the banjo until he was about ten years old, when he began to use three - the thumb, index, and middle finger - in an innovative up-picking style that would become world-renowned and win international acclaim; and WHEREAS, as a young man, Mr. Scruggs' banjo mastery led him to play area dances and radio shows with various bands, including Lost John Miller and His Allied Kentuckians. In December of 1945, he quit high school and joined Bill Monroe's band, the Blue Grass Boys; and WHEREAS, with his magnificent banjo picking, the group's popularity soared and Earl Scruggs redefined the sound of bluegrass music, as evidenced on such classic Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys tracks as "Blue Moon of Kentucky," "Blue Grass Breakdown," and "Molly and Tenbrooks (The Race Horse Song)"; and WHEREAS, with his mastery of the banjo and guitar matched only by his beautiful baritone, Mr.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand marking: or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Voices in the Hall: Sam Bush (Part 1) Episode Transcript
    VOICES IN THE HALL: SAM BUSH (PART 1) EPISODE TRANSCRIPT PETER COOPER Welcome to Voices in the Hall, presented by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. I’m Peter Cooper. Today’s guest is a pioneer of New-grass music, Sam Bush. SAM BUSH When I first started playing, my dad had these fiddle albums. And I loved to listen to them. And then realized that one of the things I liked about them was the sound of the fiddle and the mandolin playing in unison together. And that’s when it occurred to me that I was trying on the mandolin to note it like a fiddle player notes. Then I discovered Bluegrass and the great players like Bill Monroe of course. You can specifically trace Bluegrass music to the origins. That it was started by Bill Monroe after he and his brother had a duet of mandolin and guitar for so many years, the Monroe Brothers. And then when he started his band, we're just fortunate that he was from the state of Kentucky, the Bluegrass State. And that's why they called them The Bluegrass Boys. And lo and behold we got Bluegrass music out of it. PETER COOPER It’s Voices in the Hall, with Sam Bush. “Callin’ Baton Rouge” – New Grass Revival (Best Of / Capitol) PETER COOPER “Callin’ Baton Rouge," by the New Grass Revival. That song was a prime influence on Garth Brooks, who later recorded it. Now, New Grass Revival’s founding member, Sam Bush, is a mandolin revolutionary whose virtuosity and broad- minded approach to music has changed a bunch of things for the better.

  • Multimillion-Selling Singer Crystal Gayle Has Performed Songs from a Wide Variety of Genres During Her Award-Studded Career, B
    MultiMillion-selling singer Crystal Gayle has performed songs from a wide variety of genres during her award-studded career, but she has never devoted an album to classic country music. Until now. You Don’t Know Me​ is a collection that finds the acclaimed stylist exploring the songs of such country legends as George Jones, Patsy Cline, Buck Owens and Eddy Arnold. The album might come as a surprise to those who associate Crystal with an uptown sound that made her a star on both country and adult-contemporary pop charts. But she has known this repertoire of hardcore country standards all her life. “This wasn’t a stretch at all,” says Crystal. “These are songs I grew up singing. I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time. “The songs on this album aren’t songs I sing in my concerts until recently. But they are very much a part of my history.” Each of the selections was chosen because it played a role in her musical development. Two of them point to the importance that her family had in bringing her to fame. You Don’t Know Me contains the first recorded trio vocal performance by Crystal with her singing sisters Loretta Lynn and Peggy Sue. It is their version of Dolly Parton’s “Put It Off Until Tomorrow.” “You Never Were Mine” comes from the pen of her older brother, Jay Lee Webb (1937-1996). The two were always close. Jay Lee was the oldest brother still living with the family when their father passed away.
