  • Kristofferson Hit Songs.Rtf
    Oct. 17, 2004--- The year 1969 was golden for Kris Kristofferson, who wrote three iconic songs that year. "Sunday Morning Coming Down" became an anthem for Johnny Cash, Janis Joplin had her final hit with "Me and Bobby McGee," and Ray Price's remorseful take on "For the Good Times" remains timeless. Here's Kristofferson talking about how he wrote each song: "Sunday Morning Coming Down": "I was writing about what I was living at the time," Kristofferson said. "I was living alone in a condemned apartment that cost $50 a month, right on Music Row in Nashville. It was a dump. If you didn't have a family, Sundays were a pretty lonely time on Music Row. Everything was shut. The bars weren't even open. "The song's form was probably helped out by my relationship with Mickey Newbury. I know the 'wishin' lord I was stoned' sounds like a Mickey Newbury line. "John Cash always said I flew it in to Cash's backyard in a helicopter. But that wasn't the song I had at the time. As long as John cut it later and did me such a good turn by doing that, I'm willing to go along with whatever he said. But I had been pitching songs at John a long time. Every song I wrote I'd give to June Carter Cash or Cash's guitarist Luther Perkins to give to him. He knew who I was and he was very encouraging to me as a songwriter, but he never cut anything of mine.

During the 1970’s she lived in New York City, and was active with the music scene. She was a bit of a musician and writer herself. According to a 1991 Texas Monthly article, she started following Willie Nelson in the early 1970’s helping wherever she could. When he purchased the Pedernales Country Club in 1979, she was hired on as his personal secretary. Her job was to schedule studio time for Willie and his musician friends, assist Lana Nelson with charitable work, and generally assist in managing the property. She also had a small part in his movie, Red-Headed Stranger, which was filmed on the property. When Willie Nelson began the Farm Aid movement, Jody took calls coming in from famers and their families, and is often quoted as being a compassionate listener. She was very close to the extended Nelson family, as well as involved in diverse causes such as Farm Aid and Native American civil rights.

After college, he settled in Houston, where he opened a guitar repair shop and began performing folk music in clubs. That’s where he formed lifelong friendships with Mickey Newbury, K.T. Oslin, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Townes Van Zandt, who would all go on to have important country music careers. In 1971, Clark moved to Nashville with his soon-to-be wife, Susanna, to join a group of young country singer-songwriters who became known Over the years, Clark continued to record and for their poetic storytelling.

  • Outlaws and Armadillos: Country’S Roaring ‘70S Capsule Bios of Pivotal Artists
    Outlaws and Armadillos: Country’s Roaring ‘70s Capsule Bios of Pivotal Artists Kris Kristofferson—Along with Tom T. Hall, John Hartford, and Mickey Newbury, Kristofferson elevated the language of country music in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Equally inspired by two key Williams — William Blake and Hank Williams — he was integral in merging the street-level counter-culture with the mainstream. He wrote country classics including “”For the Good Times” and “Sunday Morning Coming Down” as well as Janis Joplin’s rib-rattling rock statement, “Me and Bobby McGee.” He also sang progressive anthems including “Jesus Was a Capricorn.” Willie Nelson — Nelson struggled in the 1960s as he sought to match his songwriting success (“Hello, Walls,” “Crazy”) with progress as an entertainer. Depressed by his inability to do this, he lit out for his native Texas in 1971 and emerged as a uniter of rednecks, hippies, and freaks. In Texas, he found a flowering culture that embraced artistry and eschewed cultural labels. He became, and remains, a Buddha-like figure who is loved and revered by people of varying political and musical perspectives. Waylon Jennings — “It’s the same old tune: fiddle and guitar/ Where do we take it from here?” Waylon sang, in a song that answered those very same questions. Jennings, a Texas native, came to Nashville in the 1960s and was dissatisfied by a glossy “Nashville Sound” that he said fit him “like syrup on sugar.” He fought and won creative freedom and recorded some of the greatest and most distinctive songs in country music history.

  • Notes on Significance, Uh Holdings and Related Archival Collections, and Associated Acts Or Bands
    1 2 3 As the state’s largest industrial city, Houston was a destination for many musicians looking for employment during the early 1900s Blues musicians migrated from the Mississippi Delta, especially during the Great Depression, and Texas blues was born. During this time, notable western swing musicians from the Fort Worth area also migrated to Houston in search of better economy. Along with Houston and Beaumont‐area musicians, they created a flourishing swing scene that evolved into a thriving dance hall and honky tonk scene. Looking for work, black Creoles from Louisiana moved to large, industrial east Texas cities such as Houston. Houston’s Frenchtown was important to the development of zydeco, which formed out of the mixing of Louisiana’s acoustic La La music with 4 urban blues and R&B. Tejano music was influenced by border music, and along with conjunto music, also had its roots in the early twentieth century and became a part of the fiber of Houston Music. 4 With ACA and Goldstar/SugarHill recording studios and labels Starday, Duke and Peacock, and D Records, Houston has long been a center for recording in the region. This image is from an ACA Master Book from early fifties. Hopefully, you can make out Willie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton’s name in the middle of the page. Although Thornton was born in Alabama, her career took off when she moved to Houston and began recording for Don Robey’s labels Peacock and Duke. Recorded at ACA in 1952, Big Mama Thornton’s “Hound Dog” spent several weeks at the number 1 positions on the Billboard charts in 1953.
