If you have any passion at all for bluegrass or old timey music then this will be (hands down) your album of the year. Loudon Wainwright is an artist I have long admired since I heard a song called “Samson and the Warden” (a wonderfully witty tale of a guy who doesn’t mind being in gaol so long as the warden doesn’t cut his hair) on an ABC radio show called “Room to Move” many years ago. A few years later he had his one and only “hit” with the novelty “Dead Skunk”. Now Loudon pundits will compare the instrumentation on this album with that on that song, and if a real pundit with that of his “The Swimming Song”. The backing is restrained. Banjo (Poole’s own instrument of choice), with guitar, some great mandolin (from Chris Thile) some fiddle (multi instrumentalist David Mansfield), some piano and harmonica and on a couple of tracks some horns. Now, Charlie Poole to the uninitiated was a major star in the very early days of country music. He is said to have pursued a musical career so he wouldn’t have to work and at the same time he could ensure his primary source of income, bootleg liquor, was properly distilled. He was no writer and adapted songs he had heard to his style.

  • Should Music Labels Pay for Radio Airplay? Investigating the Relationship Between Album Sales and Radio Airplay
    Print Date: 8/20/2002 Should Music Labels Pay for Radio Airplay? Investigating the Relationship Between Album Sales and Radio Airplay by Alan L. Montgomery and Wendy W. Moe August 2002 The authors wish to thank Pete Fader and Capitol Records for the data used in this research. Alan L. Montgomery is an Associate Professor of Industrial Administration at Carnegie Mellon University, GSIA, 5000 Forbes Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15213 (e-mail: [email protected]) and Wendy W. Moe is an Assistant Professor of Marketing at the University of Texas at Austin, McCombs Schools of Business, Austin, TX 78712-1178 (e-mail: [email protected]). Copyright © 2002 by Alan L. Montgomery and Wendy W. Moe, All rights reserved Should Music Labels Pay for Radio Airplay? Investigating the Relationship Between Album Sales and Radio Airplay Abstract: Managers in the music industry closely monitor both radio airplay of an album as well as the album's sales. Their interest in radio airplay is due to the belief that airplay can increase an album’s sales. Therefore it is natural for managers to attempt to influence radio airplay so as to subsequently impact album sales and ultimately profits. Over the past several years the concept of “pay-for-play” has resurfaced. If direct payments for radio airplay are to be made, then a precise understanding of the dynamic relationship between sales and airplay is needed. Typically radio airplay and album sales both show an exponential declining pattern. It is natural to ask whether both series are evolving concurrently–but independently–or is there some type of dependence? If there is a causal relationship, what is the direction of causality, or is there be a feedback relationship where both series influence each other? The purpose of this paper is to address these modeling questions using vector autoregressive models (VARMA), and show how these models can be used to answer the substantive question of whether the music industry should pay for airplay.

  • Tangible Hedonic Portfolio Products: a Joint Segmentation Model of Music CD Sales
    Tangible Hedonic Portfolio Products: A Joint Segmentation Model of Music CD Sales by Wendy W. Moe and Peter S. Fader The Wharton School University of Pennsylvania Marketing Department 1400 Steinberg Hall-Dietrich Hall Philadelphia, PA 19104-6371 telephone: (215) 898-7603 fax: (215) 898-2534 e-mail: [email protected] July 1999 Wendy W. Moe is a doctoral candidate in Marketing and Peter S. Fader is an Associate Professor of Marketing. The authors thank Capitol Records for the data used in this research and are grateful for the comments of numerous colleagues at Wharton including Eric Bradlow, Dave Schmittlein, and Christophe Van den Bulte. Tangible Hedonic Portfolio Products: A Joint Segmentation Model of Music CD Sales Abstract This paper presents a framework with which to better differentiate between a wide array of hedonic products. Specifically, we define and discuss characteristics of hedonic portfolio products and offer a joint segmentation model appropriate for this class of products. We construct a flexible duration-time model that can be used to capture the dynamic purchase patterns across a broad portfolio of different albums. We apply the model to music CD sales for 20 different albums. The model simultaneously models multiple albums and can accommodate a very large degree of product heterogeneity through product clusters and model covariates. We allow explanatory variables to have a differential impact on both components of the model, i.e., accelerating purchase rates within segment, and/or changing the proportions drawn by each cluster. To illustrate the role of covariates in our model, we discuss the different effects of radio airplay and holiday buying on sales for our sample in the music industry.

  • Bonnie Raitt Biography.Pdf
    Bonnie Raitt Long a critic's darling, singer/guitarist Bonnie Raitt did not begin to win the comparable commercial success due her until the release of the aptly titled 1989 blockbuster Nick of Time; her tenth album, it rocketed her into the mainstream consciousness nearly two decades after she first committed her unique blend of blues, rock and R&B to vinyl. Born in Burbank, California on November 8, 1949, she was the daughter of Broadway star John Raitt, best known for his starring performances in such smashes as Carousel and Pajama Game. After picking up the guitar at the age of 12, Raitt felt an immediate affinity for the blues, and although she went off to attend Radcliffe in 1967, within two years she had dropped out to begin playing the Boston folk and blues club circuit. Signing with noted blues manager Dick Waterman, she was soon performing alongside the likes of idols including Howlin' Wolf, Sippie Wallace and Mississippi Fred McDowell, and in time earned such a strong reputation that she was signed to Warner Bros. Debuting in 1971 with an eponymously titled effort, Raitt immediately emerged as a critical favorite, applauded not only for her soulful vocals and thoughtful song selection but also for her guitar prowess, turning heads as one of the few women to play bottleneck. Her 1972 follow-up, Give It Up, made better use of her eclectic tastes, featuring material by contemporaries like Jackson Browne and Eric Kaz, in addition to a number of R&B chestnuts and even three Raitt originals. 1973's Takin' My Time was much acclaimed, and throughout the middle of the decade she released an LP annually, returning with Streetlights in 1974 and Home Plate a year later.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • Brazil: “Que País É Este”?
    BRAZIL: “QUE PAÍS É ESTE”? MUSIC AND POWER IN LEGIÃO URBANA Ana Cláudia Lessa Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2011 0 Abstract This thesis addresses, amongst other issues, the phenomenon of protest music with particular reference to Brazil within its pre- and post-dictatorship period. The time- frame being understood as that which finds its roots many decades prior to the 1964 so-called revolution – a de facto military putsch – and comes to flower in the democratic moment of the 1980s and since. The focus will be, eventually, directed to one of the most celebrated Brazilian rock phenomena, the band Legião Urbana, the impact of which still resonates across the artistic, cultural and political scene in Brazil and beyond. In order to establish the context in which such a claim can be viable, the thesis explores the ideological and historical background to the emergence, on a national, and international, stage of something beyond the artistic and cultural ‗dependence‘ seing before that period within Brazilian music. Key Words Rock‗n‘Roll, Punk rock, protest music, popular culture, BRock, Brazilian music, dictatorship, Legião Urbana. 1 Acknowledgements I would like to thank all my previous colleges and professors who helped me to be here today, contributing in different forms and through different periods of the development of this thesis. Also a great thank you to all my students ever, for their curiosity and interest in everything-Brazilian. Without those students I would not exist as a professional. To Nicholas Shaw, my friend and mentor, who has been such an important influence and inspiration during my stay in the UK, and my love for this green land.

  • Rhythm and Blues Rocker Bonnie Raitt Plays Cal Poly Nov. 18
    Skip to Content Cal Poly News Search Cal Poly News Go California Polytechnic State University Oct. 23, 2002 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: LISA WOSKE (805) 756-7110 Rythm and Blues Rocker Bonnie Raitt Plays Cal Poly Nov. 18 SAN LUIS OBISPO- Nine-time Grammy Award-winner Bonnie Raitt will bring her "Silver Lining Tour" to the Christopher Cohan Center November 18 as part of the Cal Poly Arts Center Stage Series. The concert starts at 8 p.m. The concert will also feature an array of roots, R&B and funk music styles by special guests Jon Cleary and the Absolute Monster Gentlemen. A best-selling artist, respected guitarist, expressive singer, and accomplished songwriter, Bonnie Raitt has become an institution in American music. In 2000, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Thirty years after her recording debut, Raitt's sixteenth album, "Silver Lining," continues her search for universal elements in diverse musical cultures to incorporate with her mastery of the blues. Born to a musical family, Raitt is the daughter of celebrated Broadway singer John Raitt ("Carousel," "Oklahoma!," "The Pajama Game") and accomplished pianist/singer Marge Goddard. By the late '60s, she was deeply involved with folk music and the blues and was opening for artists such as Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker. In 1971, she released her debut album, "Bonnie Raitt." Her interpretations of classic blues made a powerful critical impression. Over the next seven years, she recorded six albums and delivered her first hit single, a gritty Memphis/R&B arrangement of Del Shannon's "Runaway." Three Grammy nominations followed in the 1980s and a compilation of highlights from the Warners albums, as well as two unreleased live duets, was released in 1990 as "The Bonnie Raitt Collection." During this time, Raitt also devoted herself to playing benefits and speaking out in support of many social causes, including stopping the war in Central America, the Sun City anti-apartheid project, and the historic 1980 No Nukes concerts at Madison Square Garden.

His passing really took every one by surprise. He had had a few trips to hospital over the past couple of years and most were of a precautionary nature so it was a real shock. Vern Gosdin, in the great “Chip Off the Old BlocK” says “Jones sounded just like Hank” when he first heard him so the classic voice we came to know and love was honed over many years. His greatest moment is unquestionably “He Stopped Loving Here Today”. Written by two of the best in Bobby Braddock and Curly Putman it gained the award for the CMA Song of the Year in two consecutive years, 1980 and 1981 which is unprecedented. Everything about the song is wrong as far as hit potential goes. There is a ridiculously long intro and the song is sad. George apparently didn’t like the song and insisted the lost love make a return...or so the story goes. And indications are the final single release was actually culled from a few recording session. But who cares. It is beyond criticism. Superb enough to play and play and pay and never get tired of it.
