  • The O'neal Twins
    The O’Neal Twins by Opal Louis Nations The O’Neal Twins hailed from a long-established family out of central St. Louis. Their grandparents belonged to the Pentecostal movement headquartered at the All Saints Holiness Church, which later became associated with The Church of God in Christ denomination of Missouri, under the guidance of the late bishop Daniel Bostic. Twins Edgar and Edward were born in 1938 to Rowena and Edward O’Neal III. Early vocal endeavors were encouraged by their pastor, Elder James Ward Senior. However, the lads did not take singing seriously until they were well into their teens. Fooling around on piano and knowing little about harmony, the boys fudged around with a few songs for awhile. The O’Neals were hampered by the fact that they came from a non-musical family. But the boys persevered and by the late fifties were singing at storefront churches, prayer meetings, and occasional trips to guest on programs out of town. St. Louis, of course, is home to The Greater Bethlehem Baptist Church on Washington Street, pastored by the Rev. Cleophus Robinson. The O’Neals became featured guests on Robinson’s church programs. In 1962, the twins were introduced by Robinson to Don Robey, head of Peacock Records in Houston, who signed the pair to a five-year contract. The twins’ first single, topped with the song “Every day with Jesus,” yielded promising sales figures. The O’Neals were fortunate enough to appear on Peter Brysac’s “TV Gospel time” over the spring of 1965. On the program, hosted by Georgia Lewis with Professor Alfred Miller handing the musical arrangements, the duo sang three selections, “Power in the blood,” the twosome’s then current release, plus rapturous renditions of “Prayer is the key” and “Keep in touch with Jesus” from a single put out a year earlier.

A similar eclecticism and scope also surfaced in his solo work, which couched his charmingly gravelly voice in a rustic yet rich swamp pop fusion of country, blues, and gospel. Born Claude Russell Bridges on April 2, 1942, in Lawton, Oklahoma, he began studying classical piano at age three, a decade later adopting the trumpet and forming his first band. At 14, Russell lied about his age to land a gig at a Tulsa nightclub, playing behind Ronnie Hawkins & the Hawks before touring in support of Jerry Lee Lewis. Two years later, he settled in Los Angeles, studying guitar under the legendary James Burton and appearing on sessions with Dorsey Burnette and Glen Campbell. As a member of Spector’s renowned studio group, Russell played on many of the finest pop singles of the ’60s, also arranging classics like Ike & Tina Turner’s monumental “River Deep, Mountain High”; other hits bearing his input include the Byrds’ “Mr. Tambourine Man,” Gary Lewis & the Playboys’ “This Diamond Ring,” and Herb Alpert’s “A Taste of Honey.” In 1967, Russell built his own recording studio, teaming with guitarist Marc Benno to record the acclaimed Look Inside the Asylum Choir LP.

  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 95 OCTOBER 7TH, 2019 Welcome to Copper #95! This is being written on October 4th---or 10/4, in US notation. That made me recall one of my former lives, many years and many pounds ago: I was a UPS driver. One thing I learned from the over-the- road drivers was that the popular version of CB-speak, "10-4, good buddy" was not generally used by drivers, as it meant something other than just, "hi, my friend". The proper and socially-acceptable term was "10-4, good neighbor." See? You never know what you'll learn here. In #95, Professor Larry Schenbeck takes a look at the mysteries of timbre---and no, that's not pronounced like a lumberjack's call; Dan Schwartz returns to a serious subject --unfortunately; Richard Murison goes on a sea voyage; Roy Hall pays a bittersweet visit to Cuba; Anne E. Johnson’s Off the Charts looks at the long and mostly-wonderful career of Leon Russell; J.I. Agnew explains how machine screws brought us sound recording; Bob Wood continues wit his True-Life Radio Tales; Woody Woodward continues his series on Jeff Beck; Anne’s Trading Eights brings us classic cuts from Miles Davis; Tom Gibbs is back to batting .800 in his record reviews; and I get to the bottom of things in The Audio Cynic, and examine direct some off-the-wall turntables in Vintage Whine. Copper #95 wraps up with Charles Rodrigues on extreme room treatment, and a lovely Parting Shot from my globe-trotting son, Will Leebens.

    On Stage Leon Russell He’s PlaYED WITH THEM ALL by Glenn R. Swift SEPTEMBER 2008 57 e is one of rock n’ roll’s most accomplished and versatile musicians. His long and storied career includes collaborations with some of pop music’s most hallowed icons. Jerry Lee Lewis, Ricky Nelson, Bob Dylan, John Len- non, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Eric Clap- Hton, Joe Cocker, David Crosby, Dave Mason, Stevie Win- wood, Edgar Winter, B.B. King, Aretha Franklin, Luther Vandross, Rita Coolidge, Willie Nelson, Ike & Tina Turn- er, The Rolling Stones – all share one thing in common. They all played with Leon Russell. Fifty years after leaving the plains of Oklahoma for the musical wonderland of Southern California, Russell still brings audiences to their feet. “It’s something to do to keep me from having to get a real job,” cracked Russell, 66. Born to a musical family in Lawton, Oklahoma, young Leon began taking piano lessons at age 4. It seemed like the natural thing to do. Leon Russell at the height of his “My mother and dad played a duet piano deal. My mom popularity in the late 1970s. played the top and my dad played the bottom.

Moore ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PLAYING IN THE DIRT: STILLWATER AND THE EMERGENCE OF RED DIRT MUSIC Thesis Approved: Dr. William Bryans Thesis Adviser Dr. Michael Logan Dr. L.G. Moses Mr. Wayne Bovenschen Dr. Mark E. Payton Dean of the Graduate College iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It is a pleasure to thank the many people who made this thesis possible. First I would like to express my gratitude to Jay Falkner for introducing me to Red Dirt music in 1998 by playing Jimmy LaFave’s album Austin Skyline and for subsequently involving me in his many bands. Without the contacts made from working with Marshallcity and South 40, I would have been unable to begin this project. It is difficult to overstate my gratitude to John Cooper and Brad Piccolo of the Red Dirt Rangers. Their willingness to share their experiences and contact others in the Red Dirt community to get their assistance has been a true blessing. I am indebted to my advisor, Dr. Bill Bryans for his willingness to work with me on a popular history topic. His efforts to explain things clearly and simply were of great value during course work and during my thesis-writing period. I would also like to thank Dr.
