  • 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.

  • Mexican American Resource Guide: Sources of Information Relating to the Mexican American Community in Austin and Travis County
    MEXICAN AMERICAN RESOURCE GUIDE: SOURCES OF INFORMATION RELATING TO THE MEXICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY IN AUSTIN AND TRAVIS COUNTY THE AUSTIN HISTORY CENTER, AUSTIN PUBLIC LIBRARY Updated by Amanda Jasso Mexican American Community Archivist September 2017 Austin History Center- Mexican American Resource Guide – September 2017 1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Austin History Center is to provide customers with information about the history and current events of Austin and Travis County by collecting, organizing, and preserving research materials and assisting in their use so that customers can learn from the community’s collective memory. The collections of the AHC contain valuable materials about Austin and Travis County’s Mexican American communities. The materials in the resource guide are arranged by collection unit of the Austin History Center. Within each collection unit, items are arranged in shelf-list order. This guide is one of a series of updates to the original 1977 version compiled by Austin History staff. It reflects the addition of materials to the Austin History Center based on the recommendations and donations of many generous individuals, support groups and Austin History Center staff. The Austin History Center card catalog supplements the Find It: Austin Public Library On-Line Library Catalog by providing analytical entries to information in periodicals and other materials in addition to listing individual items in the collection with entries under author, title, and subject. These tools lead to specific articles and other information in sources that would otherwise be very difficult to find. It must be noted that there are still significant gaps remaining in our collection in regards to the Mexican American community.

It’s great to have so many regulars back with us again and for all our first time visitors, we hope you enjoy your weekend. Last year's event proved to be another success with enthusiastic country music fans leaving Halkirk telling us we had undoubtedly topped the year before. No sooner had we recovered (or nearly) when it was full steam ahead and back to the drawing board putting together what we hope is the winning formula for another fantastic weekend of live country music. Sadly last year we lost our main sponsor, good friend and country music fan Jimmy Nic, setting up the venue this year just hasn't been the same without him. However our committee would like to sincerely thank his wife Catherine and their boys for continuing to support our Festival. MNE Media are back with us again this year to record the highlights of the weekend on behalf of BBC Alba for transmission as part of their Ceol Country series in the Autumn. Finally can I just say special thanks to all our sponsors, our hard working dedicated committee and everyone who provides a service or helps out before, during, and after the event.

  • “The Stories Behind the Songs”
    “The Stories Behind The Songs” John Henderson The Stories Behind The Songs A compilation of “inside stories” behind classic country hits and the artists associated with them John Debbie & John By John Henderson (Arrangement by Debbie Henderson) A fascinating and entertaining look at the life and recording efforts of some of country music’s most talented singers and songwriters 1 Author’s Note My background in country music started before I even reached grade school. I was four years old when my uncle, Jack Henderson, the program director of 50,000 watt KCUL-AM in Fort Worth/Dallas, came to visit my family in 1959. He brought me around one hundred and fifty 45 RPM records from his station (duplicate copies that they no longer needed) and a small record player that played only 45s (not albums). I played those records day and night, completely wore them out. From that point, I wanted to be a disc jockey. But instead of going for the usual “comedic” approach most DJs took, I tried to be more informative by dropping in tidbits of a song’s background, something that always fascinated me. Originally with my “Classic Country Music Stories” site on Facebook (which is still going strong), and now with this book, I can tell the whole story, something that time restraints on radio wouldn’t allow. I began deejaying as a career at the age of sixteen in 1971, most notably at Nashville’s WENO-AM and WKDA- AM, Lakeland, Florida’s WPCV-FM (past winner of the “Radio Station of the Year” award from the Country Music Association), and Springfield, Missouri’s KTTS AM & FM and KWTO-AM, but with syndication and automation which overwhelmed radio some twenty-five years ago, my final DJ position ended in 1992.

  • Kathy Dell's Musical Career in the Crossroads Region of South
    Brown: Cowboy’s Sweetheart A “Cowboy’s Sweetheart”: Kathy Dell’s Musical Career in the Crossroads Region of South Mel Brown Produced byEighteen-year The Berkeley old Electronic Katie practices Press, the 2007 “Cossack Drag” on Pevo, her Golden Palomino. 1 Photo courtesy of Dorothy Allsbrook. Journal of Texas Music History, Vol. 7 [2007], Iss. 1, Art. 5 A “Cowboy’s Sweetheart”: Kathy Dell’s Musical Career in the Crossroads Region of South Texas The history of American country music is often thought of in terms of its many stars. But for every performer who has made it big in Nashville, New York, or Hollywood, there are many other singers, songwriters, and musicians with equal or even greater talent who never became famous but who had the same dedication, commitment, and desire to entertain as their better-known colleagues. The role of these less- Texas well-known artists in the nation’s musical history is as worthy of documentation as any, since they are perhaps the real heartbeat of the music. 35a Cindy Walker, Texas Ruby, Laura Lee McBride, Charline Arthur, Goldie Hill, Jeannie C. Riley, Tanya Tucker, and Barbara Mandrell are among those Texas women often acknowledged for their special contributions to the history of country music in their home state. Kathy Dell, although much less famous, should also be recognized, for she, too, was a pioneering woman of country music in the post-1945 era. Dell was not well- known statewide during her career, but in the area of South Texas made up of the broad Coastal Bend and the multi-county “Crossroads” regions south of San Antonio, she was a very popular and influential performer for nearly a half-century.1 Dell’s importance to the state’s musical history lies in her pioneering spirit and in her many unconventional accomplishments, all done well before the flowering of the modern feminist movement.
