L1 the ORIGINALS 570 6 November 2016 Appalachia 3 L1 THE ORIGINALS 570 6 november 2016 Appalachia 3 - Kirsten 2:56 1 Tennessee Border (Work) Alben JIMMY WORK AGA105 Dit zijn The Originals bij L1 Radio, Appalachia Special Vol 3, met een zeldzame van en door Jimmy Work op het Alben label in 1948: zijn Tennessee Border, gecoverd van Hank Williams tot Bill Haley. Jimmy woonde op de grens tussen Tennessee en Kentucky, maar zijn song is natuurlijk evenzeer toepasselijk voor wie op de grens tussen Tennessee en – pakweg – Virginia woonde, zoals Tennessee Ernie Ford, die zelfs pal op die grens woonde, in het plaatsje Bristol waarvan de hoofdstraat (State Street) gewoon die staatsgrens volgt. Niet alleen spreekt zulks tot de verbeelding, wij met The Originals zijn daar bijna een volle aflevering zoet. 2:37 2 Shotgun Boogie (Ford) Capitol TENNESSEE ERNIE FORD L90 3 Shotgun Boogie, waarmee Tennessee Ernie Ford in 1950 niet alleen een eerste plaats op de country charts veroverde, hij hield hier ook een Original aan over. Alle andere versies, van Cab Calloway tot Shakin’ Stevens, zijn van latere datum. Nu zijn we natuurlijk niet alleen voor Tennessee Ernie naar Bristol afgezakt (ook al blijft hij mooi meegenomen); in Bristol (Tennessee en/of Virginia) is vooral muziekgeschiedenis geschreven toen hier zomer 1927 voor het eerst een grote platenmaatschappij ter plaatse neerstreek voor opnamen. Tot dan toe zat er voor talent uit die bergen niets anders op dan zelf de verplaatsing naar New York te maken, toevallig of niet kwamen die dan allemaal terecht bij één en dezelfde producer bij één en dezelfde maatschappij: Ralph Peer om hem niet te noemen (We raken daar maar niet van af). Al van in 1923/24 reeg die hitjes aan mekaar van acts uit de bergen van Virginia & North Carolina: Cluck Old Hen van The Hill Billies, The Titanic van Ernest V. Stoneman, ook The Wreck Of The Southern Old 97 van Henry Whitter, we hoorden die afgelopen afleveringen al. Zijn ongetwijfeld grootste hit in zijn pré Bristol jaren, zelfs zijn grootste multi millionseller van voor 1955, scoorde Ralph Peer met deze Vernon Dalhart. 3:06 3 The Prisoner’s Song (Massey) Victor VERNON DALHART 6 The Prisoner’s Song, oftewel If I Had The Wings Of An Angel boorde zó overtuigend een nieuw, ruraal platenkoperspubliek aan dat producer Ralph Peer’s besluit van dan af vaststond: there’s gold in them hills! En hij zou dat ter plaatse ontginnen. Met ambulante opnameapparatuur en een slogan in de stijl van: De Victor Talking Machine Company komt naar je toé deze zomer! Alleen waar precies? De al wat oudere Ernest Stoneman uit Galax, Virginia leek hem een ideale vertrouwenspersoon om hiertoe mee in te schakelen, zowel om een geschikte locatie te vinden als om reclame te maken onder lokaal talent in spé. Het zou dus Bristol worden, langs alle kanten relatief goed bereikbaar, vanuit een pakhuis op State Street, gedurende 10 dagen in augustus 1927 en de eerste die de apparatuur daar mocht uittesten was Ernest Stoneman zelf. 3:00 4 Midnight On The Stormy Deep (Stoneman) Victor ERNEST V. STONEMAN L72 16 Ernest V. Stoneman en zijn gevolg, de spits afbijtend van Ralph Peer’s Bristol Sessions met deze Midnight On The Stormy Deep waarvan je de melodie ook kan herkennen in San Quentin van Johnny Cash. Ernest was niet alleen naar Bristol afgezakt, letterlijk, vanuit zijn Galax hoog temidden de Blue Ridge Mountain tops. Hij had ook buren mee: Henry Whitter uit Fries, Virginia (geen onbekende voor Ralph Peer) en B.F. Shelton, met wie Ralph O Molly Dear opnam, origineel van die àndere buurman Kelly Harrell. 2:58 5 O! Molly Dear Go Ask Your Mother (trad) Victor KELLY HARRELL YT O! Molly Dear Go Ask Your Mother, tragische mountain ballad die achteraf als Silver Dagger een standard zou worden. De balladeers die echter de meeste indruk zouden nalaten tijdens die Bristol Sessions waren een echtpaar met hun schoonzus, niét met banjo & fiddle- maar met gitaar & dulcimer begeleiding. 2:51 6 Keep On The Sunny Side (Blenkhorn) Victor CARTER FAMILY A2 Keep On The Sunny Side van The Carter Family. Toen Ralph Peer dit ensemble hoorde wist hij het meteen: There REALLY is gold in them hills! Nog voor de Bristol Sessions ten einde waren bood hij hen al een platencontract aan (waar zij hun leven lang aan gebonden bleven). Zij kwamen niet uit “them hills”. Zij waren van Hiltons, Virginia, net als Bristol aan de voet van de Appalachen. Maar hoewel die plaatsjes in vogelvlucht maar 50 mijl uit elkaar lagen, de weg daartussen, de zogenaamde Lee Highway, was toen nog een dirt road waar ze op de heenweg maar eventjes 40 keer op platreden! Going Down The Lee Highway, Grayson & Whitter. 2:47 7 Going Down The Lee Highway (trad) JSP GRAYSON & WHITTER 14 2:44 8 Single Girl, Married Girl (Carter) Victor CARTER FAMILY A11 Single Girl, Married Girl, The Carter Family (Sara & Maybelle met een nummer van A.P. Carter) tijdens hun Bristol Sessions in 1927, van invloed tot op Levon Helm en 16 Horsepower. Single Girl werd trouwens ook weerhouden voor The Anthology of American Folk Music, net als hun andere Appalachia original Engine 143. 3:17 9 Engine One-Forty-Three (trad.) Victor CARTER FAMILY A13 3:08 10 The Longest Train (trad.) Bluebird J.E. MAINER’S MOUNTAINEERS 12 Op de wijs van In The Pines, deze The Longest Train van J.E. Mainer’s Mountaineers, tijdens de Bristol Sessions opgenomen door één van de laatste acts die zich daar wisten aan te dienen: The Tenneva Ramblers met in hun midden ene Jimmie Rodgers, toen brakeman van beroep, vandaar wellicht een voorliefde voor train songs. 2:44 11 Waiting For A Train (Rodgers) Rounder JIMMIE RODGERS 12 Jimmie Rodgers; toen Ralph Peer dié zijn stem hoorde wou hij hem meteen ook apart opnemen, los van The Tenneva Ramblers waar hij mee toegekomen was. Dat dus zowel The Carter Family (the first family of country music) àls Jimmie Rodgers (the father of country music) tijdens diezelfde Victor fieldtrip in Bristol ontdekt werden maakt van deze opnamesessie – om het in de woorden van Johnny Cash uit te drukken – the single most important event in the history of country music, en hij mag dat zeggen want Mother Maybelle Carter was zijn schoonmoeder. Het spreekt voor zich dat ook Jimmie Rodgers daar ter plekke al mocht rekenen op een exclusief platencontract bij Victor, wat helaas al na zes jaar ten einde kwam toen Jimmie in 1933 bezweek aan tbc. 3:02 12 I’m Free From The Chain Gang Now (Klein) Victor JIMMIE RODGERS 5 2:47 13 Will The Circle Be Unbroken (Habershon) Columbia WILLIAM McEWAN L63a 29 De originele Will The Circle Be Unbroken in The Originals na I’m Free From The Chaingang Now, één van de laatste opnamen van Jimmie Rodgers, achteraf ook dé allerlaatste opname tout court van Johnny Cash. Triple album Will The Circle Be Unbroken van The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (mét Mother Maybelle en mét diverse bluegrass coryfeeën) was in 1972 de eerste echte kennismaking van samensteller dezes met muziek uit Appalachia en na zijn recente rondreis in de streek beschouwt hij die cirkel mooi afgerond. Down Yonder, dààr is ’t te doen! 3:45 14 Down Yonder (Gilbert) Capitol NITTY GRITTY DIRT BAND B12 2:38 15 Foggy Mountain Breakdown (Scruggs) Mercury The FOGGY MOUNTAIN BOYS 14 The Foggy Mountain Breakdown van The Foggy Mountain Boys waaronder clawhammer banjo virtuoos Earl Scruggs, ook mee van de partij op het Will The Circle Be Unbroken project van The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, geen betere soundtrack om mee door the Great Smokies en the Blue Ridge te cruisen. EINDAFK. Een wijs lesje uit die bergen om mee af te sluiten: diezelfde Foggy Mountain Boys mét Earl Scruggs & Lester Flatt in iets wat je ook van Ricky Skaggs & Elvis Costello kan kennen: Nederigheid Siert, Don’t Get Above Your Raisin’. 2:41 16 Don’t Get Above Your Raisin’ (Flatt/Scruggs) Columbia FOGGY MOUNTAIN BOYS 27 .

    Far in the Mountains Volume 5 - Echoes from the Mountains Since their publication, back in 2002, the 4-CD set Far in the Mountains have been MT's best-selling production and they are a wonderful source of splendid songs, tunes and stories. So it is with great pleasure that I announce the publication of Far in the Mountains, volume 5. Mike Yates writes: Once these [four CDs] were issued, I set the original recordings aside and got on with a number of other projects. Over the years my interests began to change and I found myself devoting more time to art ... But the Appalachians were still there, in the back of my mind. Recently I found time to re-listen to some of the recordings that had not made their way onto the four CDs, and I was rather surprised to discover just how much good material had been left off the albums, and so I set about putting together Far in the Mountains - Volume 5. I am sure that many of the 425 people who bought the original 4-CD Set will want to add Volume 5 to their record collections ... in the current economic climate, I really hope so! And maybe a few others will remember that they had always wanted to buy them - but never got round to it. William Marshall & Howard Hall: Charlie Woods: 1.Train on the Island 1:15 22. Cindy 1:29 2.

  • Country Music Country Music in Missouri Country Bios
    Country Music Country music is a genre of popular music that originated in the rural South in the 1920s, with roots in fiddle music, old-time music, blues and various types of folk music. Originally called “hillbilly music” and sometimes called “country and western,” the name “country music” or simply “country” gained popularity in the 1940s. Many recent country artists use elements of pop and rock. Country music often consists in ballads with simple forms and harmonies, accompanied by guitar or banjo with a fiddle. Country bands now often include a steel guitar, bass and drums. Country Music in Missouri Missourians love country music, as evidenced by the large number of country music radio stations, the number of country artists on festivals and presented by concert venues around the state, the country music artists who make their home and perform regularly in the popular tourist destination of Branson, Missouri, and the many Missouri musicians and bands who play country music in the bars and clubs in their local community. “The Sources of Country Music,” a painting by well-known Missouri artist Thomas Hart Benton hangs in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville. Ralph Peer (1892-1960), born in Independence, Missouri, worked for Columbia Records in Kansas City until 1920 when he took a job for OKeh Records in New York and supervised the recording of “Crazy Blues” by Mamie Smith, the first blues recording aimed at African- Americans. In 1924 he supervised the first commercial recording session in New Orleans, recording jazz, blues and gospel music.

  • Ernest Stoneman Activity Sheet
    Ernest neman Sto Ernest Stoneman first recorded in 1924 with the release of “The Titanic,” a song about the sinking of that great ship. By the time of the 1927 Bristol Sessions, Stoneman had recorded over 100 songs for various labels. He had already worked closely with Victor producer Ralph Peer and influenced Peer’s decision to travel to Bristol to audition and record talent. Stoneman was the first musician to record at Bristol in 1927, alongside various family members and friends, including wife Hattie. Stoneman kept recording for a couple of years after the Bristol Sessions, though he and his family were hit hard by the Great Depression. Later he expanded his act, inviting several family members to perform with him. They gained acclaim nationally and internationally as The Stoneman Family, performing on the Grand Ole Opry stage in Nashville, and also hosting their own television series. Color In Ernest Stoneman! BIRTHPLACEOFCOUNTRYMUSIC.ORG Ernest Stoneman used different band names for his recordings over the years: for instance, Ernest Stoneman & His Dixie Mountaineers, the Blue Ridge Corn Shuckers, and The Stoneman Family. Old-time bands often had interesting names that used family ties, locations, activities, and other descriptive words – such as the Bull Mountain Moonshiners or Bashful Brother Oswald.

Photo by Jennifer Jameson, May 2011. ABSTRACT: The Freeman Kitchens Collection is largely a recorded sound collection of the Folklife Archives at the Kentucky Library & Museum, Western Kentucky University. The Collection includes 250, 7-inch reel-to-reel tapes with source material from the personal collection of Mr. Freeman Kitchens of Drake, Kentucky – U.S. postmaster, record collector, owner of Drake Vintage Music & Curios, and founding member and president emeritus of the Carter Family Fan Club.

WKU first acquired these tapes in the mid 1970s, as folklorists Burt Feintuch and Lynwood Montell directed and implemented the acquisition of these sound recordings from Mr. Kitchens. The collection also contains three recorded interviews with Mr. Kitchens from 1974, 1975, and 2010, respectively. In addition, the Archives hold some related ephemera from Mr. Kitchens including letters addressed to him from members of the Carter Family, record collectors, and from folklife scholars; posters from country music events; fan-made discographies; and original copies of the journal of the Carter Family Fan Club, the Sunny Side Sentinel.

Original Use: Dwelling Style: Vernacular Carter Present Use: Dwelling Condition: Very Good Altered x ; unaltered Physical Description: The A. P. and Sara Carter House is a one-and-one-half story, wood-frame bungalow whose present form reflects the 1928 alterations made by A. P. Carter. According to his daughter, Gladys, the present owner, the house contained only four rooms, two rooms wide and two rooms deep, when her parents acquired the property. A carpenter by trade, A. P. Carter remodeled the original three-bay block by creating bedrooms on the second floor, lit by a new front dormer, and by remodeling the front porch. Carter added a dining room addition which still stands off the east end. Few major changes were made to the plan besides the. removal of the partition between the two front rooms. The resulting dwelling clearly reflects the vernacular domestic forms of rural Scott County in the early twentieth century. Since 1960, Gladys and Milan Millard have made several additions, including a garage/den addition off the west end, balancing the east wing added by A. P. Carter. The Millards also created a basement, added a bathroom, enlarged the back bedroom, and covered the house with aluminum siding.
