  • “Heart Like a Wheel”—Linda Ronstadt (1974) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Cary O’Dell
    “Heart Like a Wheel”—Linda Ronstadt (1974) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Cary O’Dell Original album Original label Peter Asher Linda Ronstadt’s 1974 album “Heart Like a Wheel” was her fifth as a solo artist. And though she had previously enjoyed some chart success with the group The Stone Poneys (their recording of “Different Drum” was a hit in 1967) and achieved some success as a solo artist in 1970 with the song “Long Long Time,” “Heart Like a Wheel” is considered her breakthrough album and, to some, her career masterwork. Considering Ronstadt’s “Heart” success, musically and commercially, it is not surprising that it was this album that also marked the first time Ronstadt had an entire album steered by music producer extraordinaire Peter Asher. Asher, a former performer (he was the Peter in Peter & Gordon), began managing and producing other performers in late 1960s. One of his first clients was a young troubadour named James Taylor. In the early ‘70s, after an introduction by Taylor’s sister, Kate, Asher began managing and producing Linda Ronstadt. Once joined up with Ronstadt, Asher and the California-based singer soon became something of a dynamic duo. “Heart” marked the beginning of a long and extraordinarily successful collaboration; every subsequent album Ronstadt would ever record with Asher—all 13 of them-- would eventually be certified either gold or platinum. Since her debut on vinyl with the Stone Poneys and as a solo act via her early albums “Hand Sown…Home Grown” (1969), “Silk Purse” (1970) and “Linda Ronstadt” (1972), Ronstadt had been working steadily in pushing the country genre toward the pop mainstream.

Denton, Texas August, 1996 Mock, Melody. Hojas Volantes: Jose Guadalupe Posada, the Corrido, and the Mexican Revolution. Master of Arts (Art History), August 1996, 101 pp., 26 illustrations, references, 138 titles. This thesis examines the imagery of Jose Guadalupe Posada in the context of the Mexican Revolution with particular reference to the corrido as a major manifestation of Mexican culture. Particular emphasis is given to three corridos: "La Cucaracha," "La Valentina," and "La Adelita." An investigation of Posada's background, style, and technique places him in the tradition of Mexican art. Using examples of works by Posada which illustrate Mexico's history, culture, and politics, this thesis puts Posada into the climate of the Porfiriato and Revolutionary Mexico. After a brief introduction to the corrido, a stylistic analysis of each image, research into the background of the song and subject matter, and comments on the music draw together the concepts of image, music, and text.

  • Linda by Diana Burbano
    Label Me Latina/o Fall 2018 Volume VIII 1 Linda By Diana Burbano A super badass story of finding your inner hero. A long monologue for a Chicana. CAST: La Linda: A Chicana woman. TIME: Now. A cute Los Angeles bungalow. A woman comes out the front door carrying a box. She is singing "Los Laureles" from Linda Ronstadt’s “Canciones de Mi Padre.” She ends with a loud Mariachi cry. She stops, listening. Laughs. LA LINDA: If mi abuelita was still here, she would’ve answered back just as loud, and we would’ve danced around the kitchen, using cucharas for castanets until mi papa would yell at us to quit with the tonterias and get him a chela. She sighs. You can’t go home again, que no? But what can you do? This old neighborhood is getting so gentrified! The local paletero is some twenty-year-old white with wax in his mustache. Indicating the box. I’m glad I did an idiot check. I found this stuffed in the closet of mi ’ita’s old room. She sets down the box, which is labeled "Mi Linda." She opens it. Takes out Linda Ronstadt’s “Living in the USA” record. Look at this! Makin’ the vinyl-lovin’ hipsters jealous. I wanted to BE Linda Ronstadt. For such a tiny little thing, Linda had such a big sound! I LOVED her god-so-beautiful voice and her cheesy, sexy look. I remember wearing the tube socks and short shorts. Pulls a pair of roller skates out of the box.

  • Mariachi Vargas De Tecalitlán Durante El Siglo XX
    Jesús Jáuregu i * ETNOMUSI COLOGÍA De la comarca a la fama mundial. Las transformaciones del Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán durante el siglo XX Tecalitlán, ¿la tierra del mejor mariachi del mundo? l 18 de octubre del año 2000, bajo los aus - Epicios del Gobierno del Estado de Jalisco y del Ayuntamiento de Tecalitlán, fue inaugurado el Museo del Mariachi “Silvestre Vargas”. Los aportes de la investigación historiográfica de Jonathan Clark y la asesoría de Ignacio Orozco quedaron sometidos a una perspectiva ideológica y a una intención museográfica correspondiente al mito que sobre el mariachi han creado los medios de co- municación masiva a partir de la década de 1930. Allí se pretende exponer la historia del mariachi fundado en Tecalitlán por Gaspar Vargas (1880- 1969) en 1898, con cuatro músicos (dos violines, guitarra de golpe y arpa grande). La presentación de fichas en las que aparecen citas de entrevistas con mariacheros informantes le otorga vida a importantes objetos, discos y fotografías. En la actualidad este museo no está aislado de la atmósfera que se advierte en Tecalitlán. Desde la entrada al pueblo el visitante es recibido con un letrero en el que se proclama: “Bienvenidos a la tierra del mejor mariachi del mundo”. Asimismo, en la plaza hay una estatua de Silvestre Vargas, en cuya placa se lee: “Tequila Sauza rinde homenaje a D. Silves- tre Vargas, director del Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán, por sus méritos en la difusión de la música jalisciense a través de los cinco continentes. […] Tecalitlán, Jal., diciembre de 1976.” En 1958, el entonces gobernador de Jalisco, Agustín Yáñez (1904-1980) le había entregado la insignia “José * Coordinación Nacional de Difusión, INAH .

  • A Few Words on How to Promote Sol De Mexico At
    A FEW WORDS ON HOW TO PROMOTE MARIACHI SOL DE MEXICO AT PAC’S by Jose Delgado I have been managing the mariachi genre in the U.S. for 20 years. I began as a tour manager for Linda Ronstadt’s CANCIONES DE MI PADRE tour. The show was a unique blend of Mexican music and mariachi concert. Following that I managed Mariachi Los Camperos de Nati Cano for over fifteen years and with Mr. Cano refocused the company to be a concert mariachi that toured playing in performing art centers as well as concert halls as diverse as Chicago Symphony Hall, Davies Symphony Hall, Centennial Hall and Teatro de Gollado in Guadalajara. Currently, I am the manager of the internationally recognized, Mariachi Sol de Mexico de Jose Hernandez. Based on these expansive experiences in the American mariachi field, I have discovered a number of ways to engage and enhance local efforts to promote Sol de Mexico in performing arts centers wherever they might be presented. First and foremost Sol de Mexico should be promoted to a mainstream audience as World Music. This will capture music aficionados and mainstream middle class Mexican-Americans as well as other segments of the local Latino community. The Mexican American audience will view this as an acceptance and respect for their cultural tradition and an acknowledgement of the genre as an art form, which it is. A PAC that has an established history in their local community and is already branded but has never presented anything Latino in their season will have a different kind of a challenge than a PAC that is just opening their doors.

  • Jesús Jáuregui. Immo Pectore. Apostillas a El Mariachi
    Immo pectore.* Apostillas a El mariachi Jesús Jáuregui EL PARTEAGUAS l año de 1981 fue decisivo para que tomara la determinación de in­ Evestigar el mariachi, en mi calidad de antropólogo. Hacía seis años que un campesino octogenario –Margarito Murillo Ibarra (1890­1986)–, en la costa de Nayarit, me había hecho comprender de manera inesperada y vivencial la importancia de la tradición del mariachi dentro del complejo cultural de la gente del occidente de México (Jáuregui, 2001: 4­6 y 2007: 12­17). En octubre de ese año, leí con sorpresa y fascinación el artículo de Jean Meyer en la revista Vuelta sobre “El origen del mariachi”. Lo más destacado de su contribución era la carta, fechada el 7 de mayo de 1852 en la parro­ quia de Rosamorada, que el cura Cosme Santa Anna (1825­1892) le había enviado a la autoridad eclesiástica de Guadalajara. En dicho documento presentaba con detalle su versión sobre “los hechos que han ocurrido en este lugar y que han ocasionado diferencias mías para con las autoridades de esta mi feligresía y que han instruido queja al Supremo Gobierno del Estado” (ápud Meyer, 1981: 41). En este sentido, informaba que: Al acabarse los divinos oficios en mi Parroquia en el sábado de gloria encuentro que en la plaza y frente de la misma iglesia se hallan dos fandangos, una mesa de juego y hombres que a pie y a caballo andan gritando como furiosos en con­ * De mi ronco pecho. 50 DOSSIER se cuencia del vino que beben y que aquello es ya un desorden muy lamenta­ ble: sé que esto es en todos los años en los días solemnísimos de la resurrección del Señor y solo que ya sabemos cuantos crímenes y ecsesos se cometen en es tas diversiones, que generalmente se llaman por estos puntos mariachis [...] Yo fui luego a la Autoridad local y le supliqué se sirviera impedir estos males, prin cipios de otros muchos mayores y no logré mi deseo pues se me alegó la cos tumbre y perjuicios que seguirían a los comerciantes interesados en la ven­ ta de licores [...] El desorden crecía [,] por momentos yo deseaba en cada instante evitarlo.

  • 55 Years of Country-Rock, 1965-Present
    55 years of country-rock, 1965-present: Creating a new American musical genre--how two immensely popular genres of music merged to create a timeless style, uniquely American in every aspect. This class will cover the historically significant country-rock movement which started in LA in 1965 and spread across the country, changing the musical landscape of popular music. We will explore how two roots-oriented genres-- country music and rock and roll--borrowed from each other and merged to create a new genre which has since spawned many sub-genres, each with its own unique approach to country-rock. We will look at several artists and their key albums, including: The Byrds, the Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills and Nash, the Flying Burrito Brothers, Gram Parsons, Poco, the Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, John Prine, Steve Earle and others, as well as trends in instruments, arrangements and lyric-writing that made up the songs. Course Outline: WEEK ONE: Country becomes cool: How the seminal country-rock of Los Angeles spread like wildfire across the country. The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, the Crosby Stills and Nash. LA in the late 1960’s. Listening: Mr. Tambourine Man: The Byrds, 1965 Columbia Buffalo Springfield, Buffalo Springfield 1966 ATCO Buffalo Springfield, Buffalo Springfield Again 1967 ATCO The Notorious Byrd Brothers, 1968 Columbia Crosby Stills and Nash, Crosby Stills and Nash (debut) 1969, Atlantic Reading: Desperados: The Roots of Country Rock, by John Einarson 2001 Viewing: Woodstock, dir. by Michael Wadleigh (1970) Festival Express, dir. by Bob Smeaton (2003) WEEK TWO: Pickup trucks and pot: The redneck hippie prince of country- rock: Gram Parsons joins the Byrds, forms the Flying Burritos with Chris Hillman, then goes off into a short-lived but memorable and historic career as a solo artist.

  • Interview with LINDA RONSTADT Was Conducted by the Library of Congress on July 29, 2015
    This interview with LINDA RONSTADT was conducted by the Library of Congress on July 29, 2015. LOC: Of all your albums, what stands out most, to you, regarding “Heart Like a Wheel”? I’m the last person to know; it was such a long time ago and I never listen to my old records. I always liked that song [“Heart Like a Wheel”] rather than the more trendy or commercial stuff. I wanted to record it for years. But everyone said it was “not commercial, forget it, it’s too corny.” [But] it’s an art song, a true American art song. I really wanted to do it on piano and cello and I finally met the person who wanted to produce it- -Peter Asher. We debuted it at our Carnegie Hall concert. We were rehearsing the night before and my piano player, Andrew Gold, knew the song. And I said, “Let’s put that in the show tomorrow night.” We did and the audience LOVED it. That convinced Peter…. Serendipity. LOC: This was the first time you worked with Peter Asher for a full album, what did he bring to the process that was missing before? He’s such a solid craftsman. He really knows not to go into a muddle. He knew how to steer the artist and the musicians. He was really good at taking the best bits of the ideas and discovering how they go together to make a clear story. He’s organized, thoughtful. Clarity is what counts. If you can make it clear…. If you can make it clear then it can be funny or sad but if you try to make it funny or sad or whatever, then it’s not.
