  • JAMES RAE “JIM” DENNY (1911-1963) Music Publisher
    JAMES RAE “JIM” DENNY (1911•1963) Music publisher, booking agent, long•time manager of the Grand Ole Opry, and promoter of Nashville’s music industry, was born in Buffalo Valley, Putnam County, TN. As a young man, Denny found work as a mail clerk with the National Life and Accident Insurance Company, parent organization to WSM and the Grand Ole Opry. With growing interest in country music, Denny was running the WSM Artists Service Bureau by 1946, booking Opry talent and other WSM acts. Denny eventually managed the Grand Ole Opry itself. Denny, along with his predecessor, Jack Stapp, is responsible for updating the face of the Opry. As promoters and developers of talent, they helped to transform the Opry from a popular barn dance to a showcase of country superstars, ensuring its growth and long•term success. During their tenure, the cast grew enormously, most major stars became Opry members, and an Opry appearance became a must goal for many performers. In 1954 Denny and Opry star Webb Pierce formed Cedarwood Publishing Company, for a time the most important publishing house in Nashville. Driftwood Music, a companion firm, was a partnership between Denny and Carl Smith, another Opry star. These business interests led to conflict of interest allegations by WSM and eventually Denny’s dismissal. With his knowledge of WSM operations, Denny achieved immediate success as a booking agent. The Jim Denny Bureau served most of the artists Denny had signed while at the Opry. Billboard magazine estimated that, by 1961, the bureau was handling over 3,300 personal appearances worldwide.

Led by pacesetters such as Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Bobby Bare, artists in Nashville and Austin demanded the creative freedom to make their own country music, different from the pop-oriented sound that prevailed at the time. This exhibition also examines the cultures of Nashville and fiercely independent Austin, and the complicated, surprising relationships between the two.

  • 'Dolly Celebrates 25 Years of Dollywood' Talent Bios
    ‘DOLLY CELEBRATES 25 YEARS OF DOLLYWOOD’ TALENT BIOS DOLLY PARTON - "I've always been a writer. My songs are the door to every dream I've ever had and every success I've ever achieved," says Dolly Parton of her incredible career, which has spanned nearly five decades and is showing no signs of slowing down. An internationally renowned superstar, the iconic and irrepressible Parton has contributed countless treasures to the world of music entertainment, penning classic songs such as "Jolene," "Coat of Many Colors," and her mega-hit "I Will Always Love You." With 1977's crossover hit "Here You Come Again," she successfully erased the line between country and pop music without noticeably altering either her music or her image. "I'm not leaving country," she said at the time, "I'm just taking it with me." Making her film debut in the 1980 hit comedy “9 to 5,” Parton earned rave reviews for her performance and an Oscar nomination for writing the title tune, along with her second and third Grammy Awards. Roles in “Steel Magnolias,” “Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,” “Rhinestone,” and “Straight Talk” followed, along with two network television series, made for television movies, network and HBO specials, and guest-starring roles in series television. In 2006, Parton earned her second Oscar nomination for "Travelin' Thru," which she wrote for the film “Transamerica.” Dolly Parton's remarkable life began very humbly. Born January 19, 1946 on a farm in Sevier County, Tennessee, Parton is the fourth of twelve children. Her parents, Robert Lee and Avie Lee Parton struggled to make ends meet in the impoverished East Tennessee hills.

  • Johnny Cash Bicentennial Suit Article
    RISON - Fresh off an exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, the suit that country music legend Johnny Cash wore during his American Bicentennial concert at Rison in 1976 will be among the pieces on display at the inaugural Johnny Cash Heritage Festival set for next weekend, Oct. 19-21, at the Dyess Colony in Northeast Ar- kansas.

  • Kosher Country: Success and Survival on Nashville's Music Row V
    Kosher Country: Success and Survival on Nashville's Music Row V Stacy Harris uring the last few years, Nashville's country music in- dustry has been mourning a larger number of its citizens Dthan usual. These losses included two, Norma Gerson ("makeup artist to the stars") and Rainbow Room owner/- erstwhile "Hee Haw" bit-player David "Skull" Schulman ("the mayor of Printers' Alley"), that underscore the little-known range and diversity of roles Jews have played in Nashville and country- music history. According to Karen B. Fine, Nashville's Jewish music indus- try population numbers "about 60 or 70."1 Few would characterize this minority as a vocal one. Indeed, when Life staff writer Charles Hirshberg wrote about the relationship between Jews and country music in the Forward, he titled the article "Nashville's Jewish Newcomers Assert Themselves (Softly)."2 Likening the reluctance of Jewish country-music industry participants to medieval Marranos who, Hirshberg believed, kept "their Jewishness private to protect their livelihoods," Hirshberg's observations of five years ago seem equally as dire in 1999.3 There would well be a justification for this. Country music's heritage is rooted in traditions of a Protestant-Christian America. Six years ago, this author wrote, "Most country artists have re- corded at least one album of sacred songs; indeed it is almost expected."4 112 SOUTHERN JEWISH HISTORY Nonetheless change may be imminent. With many more new artists and a younger listener base, this expectation no longer exists. While it still looks good for a country singer to have a press kit containing biographical information noting that the subject's earliest memories are of "hymns or more fervent gospel songs" and of his/her own performances in church, whether true or not, such references are increasingly less mandatory.

  • Vereins-Chronik
    VEREINS-CHRONIK Wir, die Country- und Westernfreunde Hausruckwald – kurz CWF – wurden am 21. April 1990 gegründet, können auf eine ungewöhnliche und aufregende Entstehungsgeschichte zurückblicken und haben derzeit 750 Mitglieder. (Stand 31. Dezember 2016) Wir haben zwei wesentliche Ziele: Die Förderung der Country Music Die Darstellung der amerikanischen Geschichte Zur Förderung der Country Music veranstalten wir unter der Leitung von Obmann Manfred Humenberger neben den zahlreichen anderen Aktivitäten mehrmals im Jahr Livemusik- Veranstaltungen. Seit Vereinsbeginn wird am Pfingstmontag mit dem Aufbau für das alljährliche internationale COUNTRY MUSIC FESTIVAL begonnen, welches dann am darauffolgenden Wochenende stattfindet. Die FESTIVALS wurden 1990 und 1991 auf verschiedenen Bauernhöfen veranstaltet 1992 bis 1998 auf dem Bahnhofsgelände Haag 1999 bis 2001 am Gelände des Autohofes Haag Seit 2002 wieder am Bahnhofsgelände Haag Aus den anfänglichen Zweitages-FESTIVALS, wo wir auch zum Teil Dampflok-Sonderfahrten zusätzlich angeboten haben, wurde1997 eine Dreitages-Veranstaltung, die bis 2001 an den Freitagen mit Konzertbestuhlung durchgeführt wurde. Seit 2005 organisieren wir an den Freitagen bei den FESTIVALS die Linedanceparty mit Workshops. Von 09. bis 11. Juni 2017 findet bereits das 28. Int. COUNTRY MUSIC FESTIVAL mit der 13. Linedanceparty am Bahnhofsgelände Haag statt. Von diesen FESTIVALS gibt es jedes Jahr DVD‘s und CD´s zu kaufen. Seit der Gründung waren wir bei den Haager Marktfesten mit Aktivitäten und Livemusik dabei. Weiters unterstützen wir diverse Veranstalter immer wieder bei der Organisation. Ab 1993 begannen wir mit diversen Musikveranstaltungen und fanden in der „Waldschenke“ bis 1994 den geeigneten Platz. Ab 1995 wurden diese beim „Wirt z´Gries“ veranstaltet. Nebenbei organisierten wir immer wieder in verschiedenen Gasthäusern unsere Musikveranstaltungen.
