“The Stories Behind the Songs”
“The Stories Behind The Songs” John Henderson The Stories Behind The Songs A compilation of “inside stories” behind classic country hits and the artists associated with them John Debbie & John By John Henderson (Arrangement by Debbie Henderson) A fascinating and entertaining look at the life and recording efforts of some of country music’s most talented singers and songwriters 1 Author’s Note My background in country music started before I even reached grade school. I was four years old when my uncle, Jack Henderson, the program director of 50,000 watt KCUL-AM in Fort Worth/Dallas, came to visit my family in 1959. He brought me around one hundred and fifty 45 RPM records from his station (duplicate copies that they no longer needed) and a small record player that played only 45s (not albums). I played those records day and night, completely wore them out. From that point, I wanted to be a disc jockey. But instead of going for the usual “comedic” approach most DJs took, I tried to be more informative by dropping in tidbits of a song’s background, something that always fascinated me. Originally with my “Classic Country Music Stories” site on Facebook (which is still going strong), and now with this book, I can tell the whole story, something that time restraints on radio wouldn’t allow. I began deejaying as a career at the age of sixteen in 1971, most notably at Nashville’s WENO-AM and WKDA- AM, Lakeland, Florida’s WPCV-FM (past winner of the “Radio Station of the Year” award from the Country Music Association), and Springfield, Missouri’s KTTS AM & FM and KWTO-AM, but with syndication and automation which overwhelmed radio some twenty-five years ago, my final DJ position ended in 1992. -
David Briggs Kenny Buttrey
DYLAN CASH & THE NASHVILLE CATS: A NEW MUSIC CITY WHO WERE THE NASHVILLE CATS? David Briggs b. Killen, Alabama, March 16, 1943 “David Briggs could play any style, and he had that soul influence coming from Muscle Shoals.” – Mac Gayden, Member of The Nashville Cats David Briggs began playing piano on R&B, pop, and country hits in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, in his teens. After a brief stint as a pop singer, Briggs moved to Nashville in 1964 to focus on a career as a studio musician. The following year, Briggs backed Elvis Presley in the studio, an association that continued until Presley’s death. Briggs juggled instruments and genres through the decades, playing piano and organ on country hits by Charley Pride and Jerry Reed, by Alabama and Reba McEntire, and by Kenny Chesney and Shania Twain. On the rock side, Briggs recording with by Eric Andersen, Joan Baez, Beau Brummels, J.J. Cale, the Monkees, and Bob Seger. The keyboardist was a member of the acclaimed band Area Code 615, made up of Nashville studio pros. In 1969, Briggs and bassist-producer Norbert Putnam opened Quadrafonic Sound Studios in Nashville, and the studio became a favorite of visitors from New York, Los Angeles, and other music centers. Briggs also has been an arranger, producer, a songwriter, and a music publisher (including the Academy Award-winning song “Up Where We Belong” and the Steve Winwood hit “Higher Love.”) Kenny Buttrey b. Nashville, Tennessee, April 1, 1945; d. September 12, 2004 “He is a finesse player with a masters touch on any song he plays … Kenny is a complete original who I was lucky to know and play with.” – Neil Young on Kenny Buttrey Kenny Buttrey wasn’t just a first-call Nashville session player; he was the preferred drummer for artists across America, building a lasting legacy with his work in R&B and rock. -

Dylan's Apocalypse
DYLAN‘S APOCALYPSE: COUNTRY MUSIC AND THE END OF THE WORLD A Thesis by ADAM CLAY GRIFFEY Submitted to the Graduate School Appalachian State University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2011 Department of History DYLAN‘S APOCALYPSE: COUNTRY MUSIC AND THE END OF THE WORLD A Thesis by ADAM CLAY GRIFFEY August 2011 APPROVED BY: _____________________________ Dr. James Goff Chairperson, Thesis Committee _____________________________ Dr. Timothy Silver Member, Thesis Committee _____________________________ Dr. Michael Wade Member, Thesis Committee ____________________________ Dr. Lucinda McCray Chairperson, Department of History ____________________________ Dr. Edelma D. Huntley Dean, Research and Graduate Studies Copyright by Adam Clay Griffey 2011 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT DYLAN‘S APOCALYPSE: COUNTRY MUSIC AND THE END OF THE WORLD. (August 2011) Adam Clay Griffey, B.A., Berea College M.A., English, Appalachian State University M.A., History, Appalachian State University Thesis Chairperson: Dr. James Goff At the end of the 1960s, with the United States escalating a war overseas while a revolution stirred at home, Bob Dylan retreated from his public (if unasked for) role as a spokesman for the political Left, and wrote and recorded two albums of country music. In so doing he merged his abiding interest in the apocalyptic with that of the events of his times. This thesis looks at the history behind John Wesley Harding (1967) and Nashville Skyline (1969) and argues for their relevance as expressions of both the country music tradition and to the history of apocalyptic prophecy. Chapter I discusses Dylan‘s place in the lineage of biblical prophecy and eschatological writing. -

Pows 2006 Booklet Cd
Founded in 1983 SEATTLE WESTERN SWING MUSIC SOCIETY 16TH ANNUAL PIONEERS OF WESTERN SWING FESTIVAL 2006 INDUCTEES Celebrating Our 23rd Year Booklet by Beryl Shawley — With harassment by Ray What Is Western Swing Music . In 1934, in Tulsa, Oklahom a, Bob W ills organized his band from m usicians that perform ed m ostly country m usic. He then added horns and drum s to the m ix. They took the big band sound, added fiddles and guitars to it and developed a style of m usic called W estern Swing. As Truitt Cunningham will tell you, "W estern Swing is the first cousin to Dixieland Jazz, second cousin to Big Band Swing, third cousin to Blues and fourth cousin to Country with a little Mexican m usic m ixed in . so there is a little som ething everyone will enjoy". IN DEDICATION TO THE MANY WESTERN SWING MUSICIANS WHO HAVE PASSED ON DURING THIS LAST About the Seattle Western Swing Music Society . YEAR. THEY WILL BE MISSED. The Seattle W estern Swing Music Society was form ed in Novem ber 1983 by W estern Swing Music enthusiasts who were concerned that this form of m usic was in danger of “dying out,” as the older perform ers were one by one passing on, and that there were no young players to take their place. Thus was born the Seattle Chapter of the W estern Swing Society, a non-profit organization whose purpose is to Preserve, Prom ote and Perform W estern Swing Music. Monies generated by the club strictly pay for operating expenses and donations to deserving charities. -
Ringo Starr 2015.Pdf
AWARD FOR MUSICAL EXCELLENCE Ringo Starr By Parke Puterbaugh He set the standard for rock & roll drumming with his solid rhythmic underpinning and tasteful percussive musicaUty. THE BEATLES JOINED THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF Fame in 1988 as part of its stellar third class (which included Bob Dylan and the Beach Boys). With Ringo Starr receiving an Award for Musical Excellence this year, all four Beatles are now in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as individuals as well. This is fitting, as Starr’s mod est, affable persona belies a lifetime of musical achievement that pre dates, postdates, and, of course, includes his eight years as drummer with the most popular and influential group in the history of music. Starr’s main contribution was to devise a fundamental and endur ing approach to rock & roll drumming. From the start, Ringo’s style has combined a solid rhythmic underpinning with tasteful percus sive musicality. He is a song-serving drummer. As he told Britain’s Melody Maker in 1976, “Drumming’s simple. I’ve always believed the drummer is not there to interrupt the song.” ^ Ringo has long been noticed by musicians for his steady timekeeping, artful fills, and uncluttered style. Producer Don Was stated, “He is the lead ing and most musical drummer to influence generations of musi cians.” His style may seem uncomplicated, but it requires discipline, restraint, and an aesthetic sense about what to put in and leave out. Ringo assembled a drum set that, by virtue of the Beatles’ fathomless popularity, became preferred by rock drummers of the sixties and be yond. -
The Wilburn Brothers Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Wilburn: “Trouble’S Back in Town.” by Warren Zanes
TRACK TWENTY-ONE The Wilburn Brothers Thirteen ways of looking at a Wilburn: “Trouble’s Back in Town.” by Warren Zanes 1) THEY WERE JUST CHILDREN, out on the road playing shows, their father acting as manager, driver, and accountant, when coun- try star Roy Acuff heard them sing. It was a set-up. The manager/driver/accountant father, eager to advance his family’s predicament in one of the few ways a poor Arkansas family could, had arranged for his singing children to be waiting outside the back- stage door, ready to do an ambush “audition” as Acuff left the venue. When they saw the star emerge, they broke into “Farther Along.” And it was like the whole town went quiet when they started to sing. Acuff stopped, put his guitar case down. Those voices took him somewhere. As Acuff would later remark, there’s nothing like young singers hitting the high notes, not knowing better than to share a little unguarded emotion. 2) “Pop Wilburn started them at home. Believe it or not, he built a stage in the backyard. They’d play for the neighbors…. It was the Depression. He wanted a better life for them than he had had for himself.” —Arvemia Wilburn (wife of Leslie Wilburn, Doyle’s and Teddy’s brother) 3) Acuff’s introduction secured the Wilburn Family a spot on the Grand Ole Opry. A mere six months later, it was in the name of child-labor laws that they were escorted off that hallowed stage. A tough bunch worked the child-labor beat, dogging the halls of enter- tainment with morality on their side. -
