BILLBOARD SEPTEMBER 9, 1989 45 www.americanradiohistory.com Woo UNTRY Ernest Tubb `Live' Album Proves Popular BY EDWARD MORRIS NASHVILLE Rhino Records re- ports a flurry of radio, retail, and jukebox interest in "Ernest Tubb Live, 1965," the late Country Music Hall of Fame member's only au- thentically live album. Produced and recorded by former Tubb drummer Jan Kurtis, the al- bum is available in cassette and vi- nyl configurations of 14 songs each ACROSS THE and in a CD of 20 songs. The album is taken from a 1965 concert at the HEARTLAND Spanish Castle Ballroom in Seattle. Backing Tubb at the time was a Texas Troubadour band that includ- ed Jack Greene and Cal Smith, both of whom would subsequently make names for themselves as solo coun- try acts. The album also contains Tubb's easygoing stage patter. Ronnie Pugh, a Ernest Tubb scholar who works at the Country Music Foundation, confirms that the album is the only "unadulterat- edly live" album that Tubb ever re- corded. A few albums, he said, pur- ported to be "live" but were heavily augmented by studio work. A review in Billboard of a souve- nir single pulled from the album, "Walking The Floor Over You," generated orders from jukebox op- erators, according to James Austin, Rhino's associate A &R director. Thus, although there were initially no plans to release commercial sin- gles, the response convinced Rhino to take the plunge. The single was recently serviced to country radio stations. Reaction at retail has been equal- ly promising. David McCormick, who runs the four Ernest Tubb Re- cord Shops in Nashville, reports that his initial order of 500 albums has already sold out. The album in all formats is selling at a front-line price. Both the single and the album are being distributed by Capitol. Rhino is doing a special promo- tional push to radio stations in Tex- as, pointing out that the album car- ries two classic tunes for the state: "Waltz Across Texas" and "There's A Little Bit Of Everything In Tex- as." Seattle station KMPS, Austin says, has been "totally supportive" of the project, both by giving it air- play and by doing an "extensive" in- terview with Kurtis. Tubb died in 1984.

CORNER by Marie Ratliff WOMAN POWER: "Country music has a great future, thanks in part to the nice collection of ladies doing great records," says PD Gary McCartie, WMZQ Washington, D.C. "There's a plethora of new female artists who are not only being well received, but for the first time in a long time, they seem to be coming along all at the same time. "These women not only are great vocalists, but have the knack for picking some great songs as well," says McCartie. "Specifically, I'm talking about artists like Cee Cee Chapman [Curb], Daniele Alexander [Mercury], Jann Browne [Curb], Mary Chapin Carpenter [Columbia], Suzy Bogguss [Capitol], and k.d. lang [Sire]. "We went on the Alexander, Browne, and Chapman releases earlier than we normally add new records, and will be adding Carpenter's new one [ "Never Had It So Good "], which is one super record, very soon." PD Ray Randall, KSSN Little Rock, Ark., is in agreement. "We're getting ready to add the Mary Chapin Carpenter song," he says. "I think it's an outstanding record -and I'm in love with it." Carpenter is charted on the Hot Country Singles list at No. 54 in her second week. "We've also been playing the heck out of Daniele Alexander's record [ "She's There" -charted at No. 35]," says Randall. "I'm really intrigued by it." AND MORE WOMAN POWER: At WZZK Birmingham, Ala., which music director Bob Sterling characterizes as being conservative when it comes to adding records, k.d. lang's "Full Moon Full Of Love" is gener- ating some action. "We just got on it," says Sterling, "and already we're getting good request action. It's a real good record." Lang also is a new add at WWWW Detroit. Says music director Shar- on Foster, "I'm really high on it; her talent blows me away. This record is great in that it shows the traditional as well as the new side of her. She's had several singles, but I think this is the one that will finally move her into the country mainstream." Lang's record moves up the chart this week to No. 25. AND MAN POWER: Tim Mensy's second Columbia release, "Stone By Stone" (No. 60 this week), is looking good at WAXX Eau Claire, Wis., says music director Tim Wilson. "This is a real good record, so memora- ble. It's one you can sing along with." "I'm also getting good response to David Ball's 'Gift Of Love', " says THE DEBUT ALBUM Wilson. "He sounds a lot like a young Roy Orbison to me." "He's definitely an act to watch," adds music director Ken Curtis, 'NI --I KYKX Longview, Texas. "The video on this song has a '50s feel to it, and David's lyrics are so different -I like it." Ball's third RCA release is showing at No. 69 on this week's Hot Country Singles chart. "THE HURTIN' SIDE" Canyon is doing very well at KYKX, too, says Curtis. " `Hot Nights' is hot; the group does a lot of personal appearances around here, and AND THE just about own this area. I think this record [on 16th Avenue] will go a long way." It's currently charted at No. 50.

Now There's a Strong Local Industry Rallying Around the Sound. By MICHAEL POINT exans are not known for being bashful about telling the world about their attractions and achievements and Austin, as the state's capital, is no exception. But the strength of the Austin music scene in recent years has become such that the loquacious locals can now sit back and listen to others extoll its virtues. The write -ups and rave reviews are all well and good but it's the buzz from industry insiders that means the most since that translates the compliments into terms of dol- lars and cents. A &M Records A &R executive Patrick Clif- ford is one of the Austin music scene's biggest boosters and his observations, gathered during the six years he has been visiting the city to scout and sign talent, are the type a chamber of commerce dreams of. "Everybody that does what I do should know about Aus- tin from first -hand experience," Clifford flatly states. "If they don't they're missing a lot of great music and good times. The music of tomorrow is passing them by if they're not aware of what's going on in Austin," Clifford adds. And just what is going on in Austin? When it comes to music, almost everything. It may or may not be the music of tomorrow but there's no questioning the fact that Aus- tin is one of the most music -intensive cities in America to- day. It's been said that every other person in Austin is in- volved in the music scene in some form or fashion and that the city has more bands than it has musicians. The first statement is probably a minor exaggeration, although if you count the fans that support the city's thriving club scene it may actually be close to the truth. The second statement is undeniably true since Austin musicians fre- quently have several bands going at the same time, mixing members and music with calculated abandonment. Clifford, who signed the Wagoneers and Tish Hinojosa to A &M and is currently courting several additional Austin acts, continues his endorsement of the Austin music scene. "Austin is certainly unique for the quantity of acts it has but it's the quality of those acts that makes it important to (Continued on page A -6) COUNTERCLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: The Fabulous Thunderbirds; Timbuk 3; Asleep At The Wheel; Dangerous Toys; Willie Nelson; Poi Dog Pondering; Stevie Ray Vaughan; Joe Ely.

Hard - hitting Hand Of Glory, which recently overpowered a show- case audience at the New Music Seminar in New York, is in the hunt for a major -label deal, as are bands as diverse as Javelin Boot, Water The Dog, the Chromatics, and Last Straw. Many Austin acts veer adventurously into the avant -garde areas of rock, while still maintaining a commendable atten- tion to strong songs and sonic appeal. Glass Eye, capable of producing music of angular excellence in an almost off -hand manner, is the most accomplished of the aural explorers but once again it is consistently pushed by a horde of other simi- larly talented units. Stick People and Shoulders, two radical- ly different but strangely related groups, cover the avant - garde spectrum while Ed Hall, a take -no- prisoners unit of off -the -wall energizers, somehow fits in as well. Austin's hard rock /metal scene has received less national attention and is somewhat ignored by the media in its own hometown. That doesn't stop it from rocking up a storm, however, or prevent bands such as Dangerous Toys from being signed and promoted by major labels like Columbia. Close behind the Toys are aggressively metallic units like Raging Saint with its guitar hero John Porter, the female - fronted Onyxx and the no- nonsense Agony Column. The apt- 1 ly named Band From Hell, WatchTower and Marshall Law are also heavyweight hard-rock aggregations with the sort of fully developed sounds and stage shows that record compa- ny executives crave. Then there's the infamous Butthole Surfers, the phenomenally successfully hard -core heroes who thrash to the beat of a different drummer altogether. The Fabulous Thunderbirds still rule the rocking blues roost but there's been a fresh wave of blues -based acts which have built on their success. Bands like Omar & the Howlers, Solid Senders and Mannish Boys have updated the blues in their own images while established acts like LeRoi Brothers, the Tailgators and Cajun queen Marcia Ball add a more Gulf Coast soul /R &B sound to their music. Vocalists Lou Ann Barton, possessor of a blowtorch blues style, and Angela Strehli, voted best female singer in the last Austin Music Awards, join guitarists Mel Brown, Jeff Anderson and Denny Freeman at the top level of local blues -based acts, although the term is hardly descriptive of the full range of their talent or music. HighTone Records Chris Thomas personifies the cutting edge of the Austin blues- scene- to -be. The youthful Thomas, who recorded a roots album for Arhoolie several years ago, is a second -generation bluesman with his own idea of what the music should be. Armed with an impressive collection of original tunes and a blues sensibility that includes everyone from Elmore James to Prince, Thomas is the odds -on favor- ite as local, if not national, blues hero of the '90s. Close be- hind him is 20-year -old Ian Moore, who fronts his band Mo- ments Notice with a power and professionalism far beyond his years. Another strong component of the Austin music scene is the heritage of Buddy Holly. The rock legend's hometown of Lubbock must be totally devoid of musicians because seem- ingly everyone worth having has migrated to Austin with their guitars and suitcases full of songs. West Texas rocker Joe Ely is the best known of the local Lubbock luminaries and his band has spun off numerous other acts, ranging from the high -gloss pop of Charlie Sexton to the rough -and- tumble rock of Jesse Taylor and his Tornado Alley group. But the Lubbock exes make their biggest contributions as songwriters. Butch Hancock, who has become an impres- sive live act with the reinforcement of his band the Sun- spots, and David Halley, a performer without any obvious flaws or faults, have toured internationally while supplying the local scene and its acts with marvelous material. Rough Trade act Two Nice Girls offers a different ap- proach to the singer /songwriter genre while individuals like Tish Hinojosa, Robert Earl Keen, Darden Smith, Jimmy La- Fave, Alison Rogers, and Tony Perez delve in the sort of country /folk -plus sound that former Austinites Lyle Lovett and Nanci Griffith used as a vehicle to success. Country music is, of course, still conspicuous in Austin but it's far from the Nashville traditional sound. Some acts, such as Grammy winners Asleep At The Wheel, maintain the image of traditionalists but for every one of them there's three groups like the Hickoids, a band whose music approxi- mates its name. The young Wagoneers, country purists through and through, the Dickie Lee Erwin Band, traditional- ists with a contemporary songwriting sensibility, and Teddy & the Tall Tops, rockabilly rebels with a clean, clear sound, are good examples of the variety of accessible acts with a base. as Rosie Flores, Two country Others, such Hoots And C O R P O R A T I O N A Holler and the Barnburners, offer even more aesthetic Austin. eclecticism without totally abandoning the country /folk Growing together with base.

"Son Of Dinosaurs," Twin Tower, 60 minutes, $19.98. 1989 will likely be remembered as "the year of the dinosaurs." When you consider the impact of MCA's "The Land Before Time" and the other dinosaur efforts from a num- ber of companies, it seems like a fair assumption. Although Twin Tower has produced a number of enjoyable programs focusing on the prehistor- ic era, this latest one is something of a disappointment. As usual, hosts Gary Owen and Eric Boardman offer a number of fascinating facts about the earliest animals. However, the plot device In the midst of war that serves as the anchor for this he came from nowhere piece is rather lame -the discovery of a dinosaur egg that's about to to be their king. hatch-and it also seems to intrude on the rest of the action.

From his orphaned boyhood in the Appalachians to his daring exploits in the Mexican War to his success- ful Civil War campaigns, this video shows viewers the remarkable life story of the man who, had he lived, might have changed the course of history. Interviews with prominent mili- tary historians, archival photo- graphs, as well as original music by Jon Carroll, make this a must for diehard rebels and lovers of military history. R.T.R. "Dinosaurs Video Fun Pack," Twin Tower, 30 minutes, $21.95. Dinosaurs are perpetual hits with kids, and this effort looks like a win- ner. "Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs, Dino- saurs," an enormously informative program hosted by Gary Owens and Eric Boardman, presents young viewers with a host bundle of factu- al information that is not too far above their heads. It's also hooked to a plot device that has Owens slowly assuming a dinosaur -like shape. However, the real selling point may be the added value that offers young consumers a choice of inflat- able dinosaurs with the program. Given the track record of Twin Tow- er's earlier dinosaur efforts, this one looks like a mover and a shaker at Christmastime. R.T.R.

Top 40 stations were formerly defined by Billboard as those stations that play all the hits in their local market, regardless of sound. This is no longer a useful or accurate definition. BEGINNING ABOUT FOUR years ago, a small group of stations emerged that played most, but not all, of the local hits. Early stations in this format, including WHQT (Hot 105) Miami and KPWR (Power 106) Los Angeles, avoided hard rock and emphasized dance material. The suc- cess of these early top 40/dance hybrid stations led to a rapid spread of 7-kg.F the format. By early 1987, Billboard was faced with the problem of how "NEW THING" these stations would fit into our charts. AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION, it was decided to group about 25 of these stations into a new chart called the Hot Crossover 30. A wide variation of music was evident in the early reporters to this chart, with some stations close to a traditional top 40 format but leaning toward dance music, and other stations closer to a traditional black format but leaning dance. In the middle were "pure" dance crossover stations. De- spite those variances, the chart was found to be a useful tool for pro- grammers working with or interested in the format. TOP 40 CONTINUED TO fragment over the last year with the re-emer- gence of the top 40 /album hybrid that was popular in the late '70s and early '80s. Such stations as KXXR Kansas City and WDFX Detroit quickly found a niche and were widely imitated. These "rock 40" stations did not immediately lose their Hot 100 reporting status, because there was no other chart to which they could report. Many of the dance /top 40 hybrids, however, were reporting only to the Hot Crossover 30-and not the Hot 100. To be consistent, Billboard formulated a new policy-and a new chart -which begins in this issue. BILLBOARD NOW CLASSIFIES all stations that play current hit sin- gles for the younger audience as top 40 stations, even if they do not play all the hits in their markets. Although the majority of Hot 100 reporters still play a broad spectrum of current hits, it is no longer consistent to restrict Hot 100 status to those stations that play the complete spectrum of music. We have identified 19 top 40 /rock hybrids, and 24 top 40 /dance hybrid stations (see panel listings, page 14). The former will report to the new Top 40 /Rock Crossover chart (which will have bullets beginning next week); the latter will report to the renamed Top 40 /Dance Cross- over chart (the former Hot Crossover 30). All 43 will be among the 253 reporters to the new, expanded Hot 100 radio panel. These changes re- flect the reality of top 40 radio today and prepare us to deal with addi- tional changes in the future. HOT 100 SINGLES ACTION THE SINGLE RADIO MOST ADDED to Top 40!
