They’ll all be present at Grandaddy Mimm’s Moonshine Distillery on Satur- day, June 30. Thanks to Mountain Roots LLC of Hiawassee and Grandaddy Mimm’s, the June 30 “Mountain Roots Revival” extravaganza will feature live music from Shooter, Townsend and the late Waylon Jennings’ own recording and touring band, Waymore’s Outlaws. Also that evening, Blairs- ville native Townsend will be celebrating the release of his first solo album in years, called “Turn Back the Clock,” which promises two original songs, Shooter Jennings, Tommy Townsend and Waymore’s Outlaws a few choice selections, and will all be in concert at Grandaddy Mimm’s in Blairsville the Waylon Jennings classic, “Belle of the Ball.” Produced by none other than Shooter Jennings himself, the album will experience wide release on July 6, so folks want- ing to get a head start should plan on attending the June 30 album release party here in Blairsville. As a bonus for those at- tending the release, Townsend will be selling 100 autographed copies of the album’s CD/vinyl combo from Shooter’s Black Country Rock Media record label. “Vinyl is coming back,” said Townsend. “Everybody is doing vinyl now, and there’s record stores popping up all over the country that sell vinyl.

Making moonshine is a family tradition, as Townsend uses the same basic recipes and methods as his grandfather, Jack “Mimm” McClure. As for Mimm, he got into moonshining during the Great Depression, since there wasn’t a whole lot of work to be had back then in the mountains.

    JASON BOLAND Written by Evan Schlansky - May 19th Jason Boland & The Stragglers are a Southern country rock institution with a rabid fan base. We quizzed the Oklahoma native about his rugged new, Shooter Jennings-produced album Dark and Dirty Mile, his songwriting heroes and more. Who are your songwriting heroes? Bob Childers, Mike McClure, Tom Skinner, Randy Crouch, Todd Snider, Billy Joe Shaver, Van Morrison, Townes Van Zandt, Merle Haggard, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, and Johnny Cash. Tell us a bit about your new album. The new album is titled Dark and Dirty Mile. It is nine new songs and a couple of covers from our mentors. We recorded it down at Cedar Creek Studios in Austin with the help of our buddy, Shooter Jennings. How would you compare it to 2011′s Rancho Alto? Every album you hope to inch closer to what you hear in your head. Dark and Dirty Mile has a tone less flattered by modern technology, and catches a funny little glimpse of who we are as players. What’s your opinion on the way modern country songs are written, where co- writers crank out a song a day in the hopes of getting a good one? Every industry has its factory jobs that turn out quantity, but if the consumer left it on the shelf they would cease to exist. Has modern country music gotten any better in the past five years? Not at all. When did you start writing songs? Were they good right away, or did that come later? I started writing songs in high school, I remember feeling good about the songs at the time, so they must of down their job.

  • 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.

  • JAIME WYATT SIGNS to NEW WEST RECORDS to RELEASE ​NEON CROSS​, PRODUCED by SHOOTER JENNINGS, MAY 29Th, 2020
    JAIME WYATT SIGNS TO NEW WEST RECORDS TO RELEASE NEON CROSS, PRODUCED BY SHOOTER JENNINGS, MAY ​ ​ 29th, 2020 “Neon Cross refines Wyatt’s honky-tonk sound into something more lush, layered, and ​ ​ complex.” Rolling Stone ​ Jaime Wyatt will release Neon Cross on May 29th, 2020. The 11-song set was produced ​ ​ by the two-time Grammy Award winning producer Shooter Jennings (Brandi Carlile, Tanya Tucker) and is her New West Records debut. The album features Jennings on the song “Hurt So Bad” and the legendary Jessi Colter on Wyatt’s trad-country feminist anthem “Just A Woman.” It also features Neal Casal on guitar, harmonica, and wurlitzer in one of his final recordings before his death in August of 2019. Neon Cross is the ​ anticipated follow up to Wyatt’s 2017 Felony Blues EP, which was named one of the best ​ albums of the year by Rolling Stone Country, Vice/Noisey, Wide Open Country ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ and more. Wyatt and Shooter Jennings boldly color outside the country lines on Neon Cross, ​ ​ taking a wide-lens sonic and stylistic approach to the songs. Though that sonic backdrop is all in service to Wyatt’s incisive lyrics and expressive vocals, which can be achingly sensitive and sincere one minute, and unflinchingly cocksure and dispassionate the next. On Jennings as a producer, Wyatt said, “What really sold me on Shooter is that he understands grooves — he gets how to instruct a band to build a groove that is so powerful underneath a song. And it’s crazy because that’s what Waylon [Jennings, Shooter’s father] did.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • Dave Cobb Episode Transcript
    VOICES IN THE HALL DAVE COBB 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, producer extraordinaire Dave Cobb. DAVE COBB When we approach these records we approach it much the way a record would’ve been done in 1965, 1970. And it’s humans playing together. There are mistakes all over the record. There’s timing issues, there’s tuning issues, there’s pitch issues, there’s flubs of words. The same way people are seeking out organically grown food, I think people are seeking out organically grown music at the same time. The moment I heard Chris Stapleton I was like, “Man I’ve got to track him down.” If I can just get to Nashville I’d run into him and I’d run into Jason Isbell and try to sucker them in to make records. I like to fly by the seat of my pants. Walk in and see what’s going to grab you that day. To me it was a really cool thing about linking really great artists that I like now, and linking Nashville, what Nashville is today. Taking kind of a snapshot of it. And I love it when I get to introduce somebody to somebody else I think is talented. And you see there eyes both sparkle. And I love the unity in the scene. That’s why I moved here. PETER COOPER It’s Voices in the Hall, with Dave Cobb. “4th of July” - Shooter Jennings (Black Magick / Universal South) PETER COOPER “Fourth of July,” from Shooter Jennings.

  • Biography: Waylon Jennings
    BIOGRAPHY: WAYLON JENNINGS COUNTRY REBEL WITH A ROCK BEAT Along with Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings is considered the most important creative force in country’s Outlaw movement. He brought a rebel spirit and a raw rock & roll beat to country, and he set an example for other artists to strive for the same musical freedom. Born in the tiny northwest Texas town of Littlefield on June 15, 1937, Jennings grew up in a musical home; both parents were talented guitarists. By the time he turned twelve, he was playing in a country band and working as a disc jockey at a local radio station. After dropping out of tenth grade, he moved to nearby Lubbock to be a musician, and in 1955, he became close friends blues, rock & roll, and country are just a beat with Buddy Holly, who was among the most apart,” he said. important early rock artists. Jennings’s career soared, and his popular albums Jennings joined Holly’s band as the bass player. showed off his songwriting skills.

Shortly after also featured Willie Nelson, Tompall Glaser, and takeoff, the plane crashed and killed all on board, Jennings’s wife, Jessi Colter. The album became including Holly.

  • Remembering Waylon
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Jaclyn Todisco 646-695-7053 [email protected] REMEMBERING WAYLON AN UNPRECEDENTED AUCTION FOCUSING ON THE LIFE AND TIMES OF WAYLON JENNINGS, THE LEGENDARY OUTLAW COUNTRY MUSICIAN WHO CARVED HIS WAY TO SUPER-STARDOM Memorable objects from Jennings’ career, plus remarkable items from many of his fellow musicians and friends including Hank Williams, John Lennon, Chet Atkins, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Muhammad Ali New York, NY (August 5, 2014) – On October 5 at Phoenix's stunning Musical Instrument Museum, New York City-based auction house Guernsey’s will resurrect the aura of outlaw country megastar Waylon Jennings with the sale of many of his personal belongings. For the first time, Jennings’ legions of fans will have a chance to own a piece of musical history. The featured collection is being offered by country music legend Jessi Colter, Jennings’ wife of more than thirty years with whom he often shared the stage. The event will help bring attention to the important care provided at the Phoenix Children’s Hospital. A driving force of the Outlaw Country movement that erupted in the ‘70s, Jennings rejected the conventions of country’s manufactured “Nashville Sound” and reached superstardom with his commanding baritone and stripped-down, updated honky tonk, which gave his music a gritty edge all its own. His style changed the face of country music and influenced countless musicians, as his songs consistently appeared on both Billboard’s country and pop charts throughout a career that spanned more than five decades. Jennings’ album Wanted! The Outlaws – featuring collaborations with his wife, Jessi Colter, Willie Nelson, and Tompall Glaser – peaked at No.1 on the charts and was the first country album to be certified platinum.
