Sid Griffin – the Trick Is to Breathe Sid Griffin the trick is to breathe 1 - Ode To Bobby Gentry 2 - Blue Yodel no. 12 & 35 3 - Circle Bar 4 - Between The General & The Grave 5 - Elvis Presley Calling His Mother After The Ed Sullivan Show 6 - Everywhere 7 - Get Together 8 - Front Porch Fandango 9 - Punk Rock Club 10 - Who’s Got A Broken Heart 11 - We’ve Run Out Of Road 12 - I’ll Forget You Very Well The Trick Is To Breathe (el secreto es respirar), es el regreso como solista de Sid Griffin, guitarrista de los legendarios Long Ryders (uno de los padres de movimientos como alt-country, Americana, y el resurgimiento del rock en los 80). Sid Griffin reside desde hace años en Londres, donde escribe libros (Bob Dylan, Gram Parsons), colabora con la BBC, y lidera su banda de bluegrass The Coal Porters. The Trick Is To Breathe es su primer disco en solitario en diez años. ”Mi amigo Billy Bragg me dijo que grabó su último disco en cinco días, y recordé que Dylan grabó Nashville Skyline en unas pocas sesiones, así que contacté con unos cuantos amigos de Nashville y me recomendaron a Thomm Jutz como productor. Cuando volé a Tennessee los músicos se sabían las canciones mejor que yo, así que empezamos un lunes y para el jueves ya habíamos terminado!” Sid canta y toca la guitarra en seis de los temas, y la mandolina en otros dos, pero el trabajo duro lo hacen esos fabulosos músicos de los que habla, a la mandolina Sierra Hull (un prodigio del bluegrass que fue fichada por Rounder Records a la edad de 13 años), al banjo Justin Moses (de la banda de Rikky Skaggs), a la batería Paul Griffiths (Sheryl Crow, K.D.Lang, Marty Stuart…), a la guitarra acústica Thomm Jutz (Nanci Griffith…), y al bajo Mark Fain (John Fogerty, Dolly Parton…). “Es un disco estupendo, con las mejores canciones que nunca he escrito, y puedo tocarlas con un grupo, como he hecho en Nashville, o en solitario. Estoy deseando cruzar fronteras e interpretarlas en público. Además de The Trick Is To Breathe, Sid Griffin publica éste otoño una edición revisada y ampliada de su libro sobre Bob Dylan Million Dollar Bash, y estará de gira en España en diciembre con la formación original de The Long Ryders. !M Contacto prensa: PromOla!

  • GRAM PARSONS LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie Van Varik
    GRAM PARSONS LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie van Varik. As performed in principal recordings (or demos) by or with Gram Parsons or, in the case of Gram Parsons compositions, performed by others. Gram often varied, adapted or altered the lyrics to non-Parsons compositions; those listed here are as sung by him. Gram’s birth name was Ingram Cecil Connor III. However, ‘Gram Parsons’ is used throughout this document. Following his father’s suicide, Gram’s mother Avis subsequently married Robert Parsons, whose surname Gram adopted. Born Ingram Cecil Connor III, 5th November 1946 - 19th September 1973 and credited as being the founder of modern ‘country-rock’, Gram Parsons was hugely influenced by The Everly Brothers and included a number of their songs in his live and recorded repertoire – most famously ‘Love Hurts’, a truly wonderful rendition with a young Emmylou Harris. He also recorded ‘Brand New Heartache’ and ‘Sleepless Nights’ – also the title of a posthumous album – and very early, in 1967, ‘When Will I Be Loved’. Many would attest that ‘country-rock’ kicked off with The Everly Brothers, and in the late sixties the album Roots was a key and acknowledged influence, but that is not to deny Parsons huge role in developing it. Gram Parsons is best known for his work within the country genre but he also mixed blues, folk, and rock to create what he called “Cosmic American Music”. While he was alive, Gram Parsons was a cult figure that never sold many records but influenced countless fellow musicians, from the Rolling Stones to The Byrds.

  • STEVE YOUNG LL July 2021
    STEVE YOUNG - LYRICS Steven Timothy Young, 12th July 1942 - 17th March 2016 Compiled by Robin Dunn assisted by Chrissie van Varik. Please note that this list should be regarded as a ‘work in progress’. We don’t claim definitive knowledge about Steve Young’s recorded and composing output and welcome corrections and/or new information. Many folks will have greater knowledge than we about the details on many of these tracks - musicians, dates of recordings, background etc. As anyone with any experience of these things knows, something new and unexpected is always turning up! If anyone epitomises the title of our website it has to be Steve Young. He covered the full gamut of folk, country, blues, and rock ‘n’ roll. Not so well known with the general music-buying public he was nevertheless a huge influence on contemporary and upcoming folk and country musicians many of whom went on to become famous in their own right. Perceived as somewhat of an independent country and folk outsider he was a pioneer of the country rock, Americana, and Alt. Country sounds and often seen as the original so called ‘outlaw’ a label later adopted and inculcated by Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson among others. However, Steve Young’s repertoire was much wider and varied. Steve Young was born on 12th July 1942 in Newnan, Georgia. He grew up in Gadsden, Alabama, and in Texas, as the family regularly moved around in search of work. By the time he completed high school he was playing and writing songs that incorporated influences of folk, blues, country and gospel that he absorbed whilst travelling throughout the South.

  • “Outlaw Pete”: Bruce Springsteen and the Dream-Work of Cosmic American Music
    “Outlaw Pete”: Bruce Springsteen and the Dream-Work of Cosmic American Music Peter J. Fields Midwestern State University Abstract During the 2006 Seeger Sessions tour, Springsteen shared his deep identification with the internal struggle implied by old spirituals like “Jacob’s Ladder.” While the Magic album seemed to veer wide of the Seeger Sessions ethos, Working on a Dream re-engages mythically with what Greil Marcus would call “old, weird America” and Gram Parsons deemed “cosmic American music.” Working suggests the universe operates according to “cosmic” principles of justice, judgment, and salvation, but is best understood from the standpoint of what Freud would call “dream work” and “dream thoughts.” As unfolded in Frank Caruso’s illustrations for the picturebook alter ego of Working‘s “Outlaw Pete,” these dynamics may allude to Springsteen’s conflicted relationship with his father. The occasion of the publication in December 2014 of a picturebook version of Bruce Springsteen’s “Outlaw Pete,” the first and longest song on the album Working on a Dream (2009), offers Springsteen scholars and fans alike a good reason to revisit material that, as biographer Peter Ames Carlin remarks, failed in the spring American tour of that year to “light up the arenas.”1 When the Working on a Dream tour opened in April 2009 in San Jose, at least Copyright © Peter Fields, 2016. I want to express my deep gratitude to Irwin Streight who read the 50 page version of this essay over a year ago. He has seen every new draft and provided close readings and valuable feedback. I also want to thank Roxanne Harde and Jonathan Cohen for their steady patience with this project, as well as two reviewers for their comments.

Nel 1972, avviluppato da una sgargiante ve- ste che, più di una semplice copertina, è un’esplosione di luci e colori, la Elek- tra pubblica un doppio album dal titolo, come si suol dire, di per sé esplicativo Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From The First Psychedelic Era (1965-1968). Per quella che, a ragione, viene considerata la madre di tutte le compilation, un Lenny Kaye già apprezzato in veste di critico e archeologo rock oltre che di (futuro) chitarrista del Patti Smith Group, responsabile unico del materiale assemblato nonché delle preziose note informative che lo corredano, riapre uno spiraglio verso un’epoca del rock’n’roll sulla quale si erano posate troppo in fretta le sabbie del tempo: quella del garage americano degli anni sessanta. Un piccolo varco destinato ad ampliarsi a dismisura negli anni succes- sivi con la pubblicazione di materiale pressoché inesauribile (come dimenti- care, ad esempio, la serie infinita dei Pebbles?), che getta finalmente luce su quella che forse, nonostante la lonta- nanza dalla luce dei riflettori (o, più pro- babilmente, proprio grazie ad essa), ri- mane l’epoca d’oro del rock’n’roll a stel- le e strisce. L’epoca in cui, in risposta alla British Invasion di Beatles e Rolling Stones, una miriade di band in erba si rinchiude nelle cantine, il più delle volte senza nemmeno saper suonare, buttan- do sul piatto energia, spontaneità, fre- schezza ed entusiasmo nella speranza di emulare il successo dei propri idoli d’oltreoceano.
