Damn Sure Blue
KATE CAMPBELL DAMN SURE BLUE 09/21/18 Singer-songwriter Kate Campbell turned to the Man in Black for inspiration on her latest Large River Music release Damn Sure Blue. In fact, two of the songs from this soulful collection of tunes stem directly from Johnny Cash’s prolific catalog—the folk classic, “The Ballad of Ira Hayes” and his self-penned “Forty Shades of Green.” In addition to giving a nod to Cash, Kate chose his ode to the Emerald Isle in commemoration of her annual treks to Ireland where she hosts a music and heritage tour every summer for a group of die-hard fans. And by enlisting award-winning Americana guitar whiz Will Kimbrough as producer, this album plays like a Sunday afternoon drive down Highway 61 with country, folk, and blues blowing in the breeze. Damn Sure Blue’s opening line, “I’m not bitter, I’m just mad,” taps into the tide of discontent that many feel about the current state of American politics. Even a casual glance at daily headlines is enough to resonate with Kate’s reflective thoughts in “Change Should’ve Come By Now” and “Long Slow Train.” But she offers some hopeful words for this social malaise in her contemplative tune inspired by an Emily Dickinson poem, “This, and My Heart Beside.” “When You Come Back Home” speaks to love’s devotion amid the weariness of life’s journey and serves as a tender centerpiece for the record. “Sally Maxcy” tells a heart-rending tale of loss from an eighteenth-century letter shared with Kate by her friend Joanne Maxcy Martin.

Amb70054 Tennessee.Pdf
Welcome to Tennessee This collection contains 25 wonderful songs about the State of Tennessee. We’re going to bend the rules a little and begin by talking about a song that isn’t here because, the lyrics get us directly to two important points. Here are the opening words to Tennessee, a song written and recorded by Carl Perkins in 1955. Now there are folks who like to brag about where they came from But when they start that stuff I let ‘em be But it makes me feel like I want to brag some To know that I come from the state of Tennessee. Let’s give old Tennessee credit for music As they play it up in Nashville every day… Old Carl reminds us that most of the songs on each of these ‘State’ collections are really about bragging. The polite term is probably ‘regional pride.’ But you and I know it’s bragging, pure and simple. We know there’s lots of national pride among Americans, but never underestimate the feelings about one’s home state (or city, or neighborhood!) “Yeah, I’m an American and proud of it. But I’m also from Tennessee. And don’t you forget it!” Bragging is OK under some circumstances. Nobody likes to hear someone else go on about what he’s accomplished or how important he thinks he is. But if you want to raise the flag about where you were born or about your home town, most folks will cut you some slack. It’s not like you chose to be from Tennessee, and that little bit of arm’s length seems to give you permission to brag.

Johnny Cash: the Truth Seeker
Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum • Words & Music • Grades 7-12 Johnny Cash: The Truth Seeker In 1970, Johnny Cash scored a hit with a protest song called “What Is Truth,” but the question in the title could easily be the theme running through all of the legendary singer-songwriter’s music. In a monumental career that spanned six decades, Cash used his lyrics as a moral compass to explore life’s complexities. “I want to write a song that has something to say—a song that will have a meaning not only for me, but for everybody who hears it,” he said. Cash was born in Kingsland, Arkansas, on February 26, 1932. Often he relied on the melodies of old folk songs, “rewriting One of seven children in a farming family, he absorbed gospel the lyrics or taking the basic idea and creating a new song,” music in church, country music from the radio, and old-time Cash expert Don Cusic writes. “This is part of the folk tradition folk music in porch sing-alongs. When he was twelve, his of songwriting. ... Every song written is influenced by songs the beloved older brother Jack died in an accident—a tragedy that songwriter has heard before.” haunted Cash’s life and turned him to writing poetry, stories, Deeply religious, Cash wrote about both saints and sinners as and song lyrics.

Likewise, air force, a time when he began a serious pursuit of music, he praised America’s virtues while pointing out its flaws.
