  • Charlie Daniels and “The Devil” in the Details: What the Copyright Office's Response to the Termination Gap Foreshadows Ab
    THIS VERSION DOES NOT CONTAIN PARAGRAPH/PAGE REFERENCES. PLEASE CONSULT THE PRINT OR ONLINE DATABASE VERSIONS FOR PROPER CITATION INFORMATION. NOTE CHARLIE DANIELS AND “THE DEVIL” IN THE DETAILS: WHAT THE COPYRIGHT OFFICE’S RESPONSE TO THE TERMINATION GAP FORESHADOWS ABOUT THE UPCOMING STATUTORY TERMINATION PERIOD Joshua Beldner* ABSTRACT In 2013, authors of copyrighted works and their statutory heirs will have the first opportunity to terminate assignments of their copyrights and enjoy a second opportunity to exploit their works under 17 U.S.C. § 203. However, in addition to the statutory requirements, many authors like Charlie Daniels, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen face an additional obstacle: the termination gap. The termination gap arises in when authors entered term songwriter’s agreements or other multiyear agreements prior to January 1, 1978 to assign their copyrighted works but did not create these works until after January 1, 1978, the effective date of the Copyright Act of 1976 and Section 203. Due to an ambiguity in the language of Section 203, it is unclear whether authors affected by the termination gap can actually terminate their assignments under Section 203 or whether they must wait longer to terminate their works under Section 304. The Copyright Office had the first opportunity to address the issue through its rulemaking process but did not offer an authoritative interpretation of Section 203, leaving it to the courts or Congress to address the termination gap. The Copyright Office’s conservative rulemaking leaves authors and their heirs vulnerable to courts who have not always respected Congress’s intent to give authors an inalienable termination right and to a Congress that in recent years has at times shown more fidelity to larger business interests than to individual authors.

  • EG Kight Five-Time WC Handy Nominee!
    EG KIGHT Singer Songwriter Guitar Player Entertainer The recipient of the 2013 Georgia Music Legend Award, which honors people from Georgia who have contributed to the state's musical heritage, EG Kight is honored to represent her home state, bringing her diverse musical menu to the fans at clubs, theaters, festivals and corporate events across America and in Europe. Kight has been nominated for the 2015 Blues Music Awards Koko Taylor Award, she landed on the AXS.com list of Top 5 Best Blues Artists of 2014, and her latest album landed on the Blues Bytes 2014 Top 10 Albums list, and the Roots Music Report's Top 100 Blues Album Chart for 2014. She was also nominated for two Blues Blast awards, and has had six previous Blues Music Awards nominations, twice for Song of the Year. Many artists have recorded her songs, and she’s had songs on two Grammy-nominated albums, and on two compilations that maintained Billboard chart positions for over a year. Kight’s style transcends musical boundaries. With a blend of americana, southern rock, blues, pop, jazz, gospel and funk, Kight continues to help shape contemporary blues. Early in her career Kight was dubbed “The Georgia Songbird,” and today she is considered one of the few true blues vocalists. With a rich and velvety voice that’s been compared to a cross between Phoebe Snow and Bonnie Raitt, and a mastery of the guitar that has her holding her own next to any other player, Kight mesmerizes audiences of all ages, as a solo, a duo (as the Peach Pickin’ Mamas), and with her Blue South band.

  • Warner/Reprise Loss Leaders Booklet
    THE WARNER BROS. LOSS LEADERS SERIES (1969-1980) Depending On How You Count Them, 34 Essential Various Artist Collections From Another Time We figured it was about time to pull together all of the incredible Warner Bros. Loss Leaders releases dating back to 1969 (and even a little earlier). For those who lived through the era, Warner Bros. Records was winning the sales of an entire generation by signing and supporting some of music’s most uniquely groundbreaking recording artists… during music’s most uniquely groundbreak- ing time. With an appealingly irreverent style (“targeted youth marketing,” it would be called today), WB was making lifelong fans of the kids who entered into the label’s vast catalog of art- ists via the Loss Leaders series—advertised on inner sleeves & brochures, and offering generous selections priced at $1 per LP, $2 for doubles and $3 for their sole 3-LP release, Looney Tunes And Merrie Melodies. And that was including postage. Yes… those were the days, but back then there were very few ways, outside of cut-out bins or a five-finger discount, to score bulk music as cheaply. Warners unashamedly admitted that their inten- tions were to sell more records, by introducing listeners to music they weren’t hearing on their radios, or finding in many of their (still weakly distributed) record stores. And it seemed to work… because the series continued until 1980, and the program issued approximately 34 titles, by our questionable count (detailed in later posts). But, the oldsters among us all fondly remember the multi-paged, gatefold sleeves and inviting artwork/packaging that beckoned from the inner sleeves of our favorite albums, not to mention the assorted rarities, b-sides and oddities that dotted many of the releases.

  • Bio 2018 Charlie Daniels
    CHARLIE DANIELS Bio 2018 www.charliedaniels.com www.twitter.com/charliedaniels www.youtube.com/charliedanielsvideos www.facebook.com/charliedanielsband www.instaGram.com/thecharliedanielsband From his Dove Award winning gospel albums to his genre-defining Southern rock anthems and his CMA Award-winning country hits, few artists have left a more indelible mark on America’s musical landscape than Charlie Daniels. An outspoken patriot, beloved mentor to young artists and still a road warrior at age 80, Charlie has parlayed his passion for music into a multi-platinum career and a platform to support the military, underprivileged children and others in need. Raised among the longleaf pines of North Carolina, Charlie began his career playing bluegrass music with the Misty Mountain Boys. After moving to Nashville in 1967, he began making a name for himself as a songwriter, session musician and producer. Elvis Presley recorded a tune Charlie co-wrote titled “It Hurts Me,” which was released on the flip side of “Kissin’ Cousins.” He played on such landmark albums as Bob Dylan’s Nashville Skyline and tried his hand at producing the Youngbloods’ Elephant Mountain and Ride the Wind. His own unique voice as an artist emerged as Charlie recorded his self-titled solo album in 1970 for Capitol Records. Two years later he formed the Charlie Daniels Band and the group scored its first hit with the top ten “Uneasy Rider.” Since then the CDB has populated radio with such memorable hits as “Long Haired Country Boy,” “The South’s Gonna Do It Again,” “In America,” “The Legend of Wooley Swamp” and of course, his signature song, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” which won a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group in 1979 as well as single of the year at the Country Music Association Awards.

  • Randall Bramblett Pine Needle Fire When Singer-Songwriter and Multi
    Randall Bramblett Pine Needle Fire When singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Randall Bramblett began compiling the songs that would eventually make up his 12th and newest studio album, Pine Needle ​ ​ Fire, it wasn’t with any particular musical or lyrical direction in mind. But viewed ​ through the lens of the dozen tracks on the now completed set, it’s apparent there was a theme there all along. “I recognize a thread about time passing, or at least grappling with the realization that you don’t have an infinite amount of time left like you think you do when you're young,” says Bramblett, who in addition to his solo work has over the course of his illustrious 40-plus-year career recorded, performed and composed alongside rock luminaries like Steve Winwood, the Allman Brothers, the Band’s Levon Helm, Bonnie Raitt, Widespread Panic and many others. “So there's that mortality part of it. And then another part has to do with our current situation in this country. I grew up protesting in the ‘60s and ‘70s, so I’ve always felt connected to politics. Now I'm really hung up on it. And you look around and there’s a lot of people that are kind of desperate for change and for justice…or maybe they’re just desperate. They’re trying to hang on in this world. I’m one of them. Most of us are, to some degree.” These everyday people populate Pine Needle Fire, on which Bramblett provides a ​ ​ clear-eyed and engagingly detailed study of lives ordinary and unconventional, loves resilient and vanished and moments that have passed and are also yet to come.

  • Rock Music Is a Genre of Popular Music That Entered the Mainstream in the 1950S
    Rock music is a genre of popular music that entered the mainstream in the 1950s. It has its roots in 1940s and 1950s rock and roll, rhythm and blues, country music and also drew on folk music, jazz and classical music. The sound of rock often revolves around the electric guitar, a back beat laid down by a rhythm section of electric bass guitar, drums, and keyboard instruments such as Hammond organ, piano, or, since the 1970s, synthesizers. Along with the guitar or keyboards, saxophone and blues-style harmonica are sometimes used as soloing instruments. In its "purest form", it "has three chords, a strong, insistent back beat, and a catchy melody."[1] In the late 1960s and early 1970s, rock music developed different subgenres. When it was blended with folk music it created folk rock, with blues to create blues-rock and with jazz, to create jazz-rock fusion. In the 1970s, rock incorporated influences from soul, funk, and Latin music. Also in the 1970s, rock developed a number of subgenres, such as soft rock, glam rock, heavy metal, hard rock, progressive rock, and punk rock. Rock subgenres that emerged in the 1980s included new wave, hardcore punk and alternative rock. In the 1990s, rock subgenres included grunge, Britpop, indie rock, and nu metal. A group of musicians specializing in rock music is called a rock band or rock group. Many rock groups consist of an electric guitarist, lead singer, bass guitarist, and a drummer, forming a quartet. Some groups omit one or more of these roles or utilize a lead singer who plays an instrument while singing, sometimes forming a trio or duo; others include additional musicians such as one or two rhythm guitarists or a keyboardist.

  • Rock Music's Crusade of Authenticity
    ROCK MUSIC’S CRUSADE OF AUTHENTICITY by DANIEL BROMFIELD A THESIS Presented to the Department of Journalism and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts June 2016 An Abstract of the Thesis of Daniel Bromfield for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the School of Journalism and Communications to be taken June 2016 Title: Rock Music's Crusade Of Authenticity Prof. Thomas Wheeler This thesis attempts to define rock music's standards of authenticity and explore their origins. Included are comparison of rock's standards of authenticity to those of other genres and an exploration of how authenticity has been perceived throughout the history of rock music. This study argues that rock's standards of authenticity are unusual among pop music genres in that they entail artists both writing their own songs and playing their own instruments. This is in contrast to genres like hip hop, contemporary pop, and R&B, which have their own quite different standards of authenticity. Quotes from rock fans, critics, and musicians are used to provide insight into rock's standards of authenticity and how they developed over time. ii Acknowledgements I would like to first and foremost thank my father for introducing me to music. If not for his decision to turn me on to the Beatles one sunny day in June 2006, I would surely be pursuing a far more boring career – and thesis topic. And I would like to thank my mother for giving me a great life and being endlessly supportive.
