  • Multimillion-Selling Singer Crystal Gayle Has Performed Songs from a Wide Variety of Genres During Her Award-Studded Career, B
    MultiMillion-selling singer Crystal Gayle has performed songs from a wide variety of genres during her award-studded career, but she has never devoted an album to classic country music. Until now. You Don’t Know Me​ is a collection that finds the acclaimed stylist exploring the songs of such country legends as George Jones, Patsy Cline, Buck Owens and Eddy Arnold. The album might come as a surprise to those who associate Crystal with an uptown sound that made her a star on both country and adult-contemporary pop charts. But she has known this repertoire of hardcore country standards all her life. “This wasn’t a stretch at all,” says Crystal. “These are songs I grew up singing. I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time. “The songs on this album aren’t songs I sing in my concerts until recently. But they are very much a part of my history.” Each of the selections was chosen because it played a role in her musical development. Two of them point to the importance that her family had in bringing her to fame. You Don’t Know Me contains the first recorded trio vocal performance by Crystal with her singing sisters Loretta Lynn and Peggy Sue. It is their version of Dolly Parton’s “Put It Off Until Tomorrow.” “You Never Were Mine” comes from the pen of her older brother, Jay Lee Webb (1937-1996). The two were always close. Jay Lee was the oldest brother still living with the family when their father passed away.

  • Buck Owens Obituary
    Obituary of Buck Owens: March 27, 2006 By: Dave Hoekstra Buck Owens was more than a voice in country music. He was an American metaphor for the clarion of possibility after The Grapes of Wrath migration to California. Alvin Edgar "Buck" Owens was a honky-tonk singer, a TV star -- best known for his role in "Hee-Haw" -- and an entrepreneur who owned radio and television stations in Bakersfield, Calif. He was a good soul, one who would fly from Bakersfield to Portland, Ore., as he did in March 2005 to surprise compatriot Merle Haggard, who was opening for Bob Dylan. The depth of the moment was understood. With Mr. Owens standing stage right in a resplendent brown and black cowboy jacket, Dylan took a chance on Haggard's "Sing Me Back Home." Mr. Owens died Saturday at home in Bakersfield. He was 76. On Sunday, CMT.com reported the cause of death as a heart attack. He grew old, but his songs never became tired. In recent years he stopped touring outside of California, but he still managed to capture a new generation of fans that included Dwight Yoakam, Steve Earle and the Bottle Rockets. In the late 1990s, John Soss of Chicago's Jam Productions held an annual Buck Owens birthday party at Schubas that featured artists as diverse as soul singers Otis Clay and Mavis Staples, and country-rocker Jon Langford. Mr. Owens crossed borders he never would have dreamed of as a child when he headed west with his sharecropper parents from the Red River Valley near Sherman, Texas.

  • Message from TLC President John Sloan (‘98) [email protected]
    Message from TLC President John Sloan (‘98) [email protected] Lonely One of my favorite things to do as a kid was to get to go visit my uncle, Larry Don Gilbert. Uncle Larry lived in the east Texas town of Kilgore, Texas, which was about 18 miles from Henderson, where I grew up. He was around ten years my senior, and he was my idol. Looking back, I appreciate how incredibly tolerant he was to let a little kid like me hang out with him and his friends. Uncle Larry was everything a kid growing up in Texas in the 60s aspired to be: he was an incredible all-round athlete, he had pretty girlfriends and, with both parents working from can to can’t every day, he had an absurd amount of freedom. One of my favorite stories about Uncle Larry was when he and three of his buddies were joyriding in the family station wagon. It was a 1960 model red Ford. They were all twelve years old. Uncle Larry was driving, though obviously he did not have a driver’s license or have per- mission to take the car out. While tooling down one of the main streets in Kilgore, they met a police car traveling in the opposite direction. Instead of acting nonchalant and driving by, they all ducked down until they drove past. Luckily the police officer was not looking at the seemingly-unoccupied car driving by and they got away. While Uncle Larry and I never got into any serious trouble, I became much wiser to the ways of the world.

    Empirical Musicology Review Vol. 10, No. 3, 2015 “The Times They Were A-Changin’”: A Database-Driven Approach to the Evolution of Harmonic Syntax in Popular Music from the 1960s HUBERT LÉVEILLÉ GAUVIN [1] Schulich School of Music, McGill University ABSTRACT: The goal of this research is to investigate the pitch structures of popular music in the 1960s through a large corpus study in order to identify any consistent changes in harmonic and tonal syntax. More specifically, two studies based on the Billboard DataSet (Burgoyne, Wild & Fujinaga, 2011; Burgoyne, 2011), a new corpus presenting transcriptions for more than 700 songs, are presented. The first study looks at the incidence of multi-tonic songs throughout the decade, while the second study focuses on the incidence of flat-side harmonies (e.g. bIII, bVI, and bVII) over the same period of time. While no difference was observed in the frequency of multi-tonic songs, the study showed a significant increase in the incidence of flat-side harmonies during the second half of the decade. Submitted 2014 September 16; accepted 2015 April 9. KEYWORDS: popular music, corpus, Billboard, harmony, modulation IN January 1964 Bob Dylan released “The Times They Are A-Changin,” a politically-charged protest song encouraging changes in American society. Indeed the 1960s were a time of great political, but also sociological and cultural changes, accompanied by equally important developments in popular music. Many music scholars have addressed the attitudinal shift associated with this period, noting that “[r]ock musicians no longer aspire[d] so much to be professionals and craftspeople” but “artists” (Covach, 2006, p.
