It may very well be the last as well, but as I used to say in my previous career “nothing is certain on the waterfront” and nothing is certain here as well. It has been just shy of 19 years and it doesn’t get easier. It is like the old adage “between a rock and a hard place” in that there have never been a better lot of artists than there are now: Dale Watson, Justin Trevino, Amber Digby, Ron Williams etc yet the major label music scene is, for a lack of a better word stuffed. Yet some people are impossible to convince. Some people refuse to take anything but the CMT route. It wouldn’t matter if I said Ron Williams’ is the best cd I have had this year and is right up there with the best ever of Mark Chesnutt, Keith Whitley and co. If you watch CMT and enjoy it then I will sell you a share in the Sydney Harbour Bridge. If you watch it and question its merit we have the answers for you. Please read on. ----------------------------------- Ron Williams – “Texas Style” $32 If anything beats this as album of the year I will be very surprised.

  • George Jones, Légende De La Country Américaine Souvent Comparé, Dans
    George Jones, légende de la country américaine souvent comparé, dans un autre genre, à Franck Sinatra pour la qualité de sa voix, est décédé vendredi 26 avril 2013 à 81 ans. Les problèmes d’alcool et de drogue ont émaillé la vie de ce natif du Texas, qui avait reçu en 2008 la médaille honorifique du Kennedy Center pour sa carrière; médaille remise par George W. Bush. I Always Get Lucky With You de Shine On, album sorti en 1983. G. Jones fait son entrée dans les charts en 1983 avec une chanson co-écrite et enregistrée à l'origine par Merle Haggard. Ils avaient déjà collaboré en 1982, à la fois sur "Yesterday's Wine" et "CC Waterback". Chanson The Grand Tour extraite de l’album : The Grand Tour sorti en 1974. Le mariage troublé de George Jones avec sa compatriote, Tammy Wynette, était en train de s'effondrer au moment où il a enregistré "The Grand Tour", une chanson profondément personnelle qui raconte l'histoire d'un mariage auparavant heureux se terminant par un divorce. Cela s'est avéré prémonitoire, car le couple a mis fin à leur mariage l'année suivante. Choices de l’album Cold Hard Truth de1999. George Jones a réussi à reprendre pied sur la fin de sa carrière avec Choices. La chanson semblait être une profonde confession de Jones, qui a certainement eu son lot de hauts et de bas et de choix discutables dans sa vie et sa carrière. Jones remporte un Grammy Award pour la meilleure performance vocale de Country pour cette chanson.

    DECEMBER 2014 Newsletter ------------------------------------------------------------------- Yesterday & Today Records P O Box 54 Miranda NSW 2228 phone: (02) 95311710 [email protected] www.yesterdayandtoday.com.au ------------------------------------------------------------------- Pretty late for a newsletter but it doesn’t matter. I have found that no one really buys from me for Christmas anyway; they buy for their self gratification and to be honest there is NO better reason. Secondly I was fortunate enough to go to the USA on a buying trip spending a bit of time in both Los Angeles and Music City, Nashville. The results as far as buys go are reflected in the newsletter. As far as quality goes there has never been a newsletter to rival this one. Don’t take my word though...check it out. In Nashville I was fortunate to see the Timejumpers and also (for the first time) the Grand Ol Opry which had commenced its winter Ryman Auditorium run. Highlight of the latter was Old Crow Medicine Show. They don’t really do anything new but have borrowed well and are just so entertaining. Vince Gill is now a full time member of the Timejumpers but they are equal opportunity employers, so to speak and Vince is an equal member. Ameripolitan Music Awards Country music, the Nashville mainstream variety, has departed so far from “country” music that some are starting to call “country music” as we know it (not as Nashville promotes it) something else. Well, the great man Dale Watson is anyway. For the past couple of years he has been promoting the Annual Ameripolitan Music Awards.
