Steve Earle Townes Biography
Steve Earle Townes Biography Steve Earle had two reasons for coming out with this long-planned tribute to Townes Van Zandt now. The first reason is practical. Earle is currently pushing himself to finish a years-in-the-making novel, and he wants to see it in print before the publishing business goes belly up. The second is a more personal concern. Like all artists worthy of the name, Steve Earle loves the truth, and in the case of Van Zandt, he sees that the waters are muddying before his eyes. Very often over periods of years, the truth first becomes myth and myth later becomes truth. In regards to his teacher, hero and friend Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle was not about to let that happen. “I’m very thankful that when I got out of jail I started meeting people like Jay Farrar and other people his age that knew Townes chapter and verse,” he says. “I’ve always been very thankful for that. But a lot of what powered that is a take on roots music that comes from alternative music, and the crowd that kind of attached itself to Townes was the same kind of people that have White Light / White Heat in the front of their record collection so everybody knows how intense they are when they have a party. I love that record, but I don’t think I’ve listened to it all the way through since I bought it.” “I’m tryin’ not to kill myself,” he laughs. Van Zandt’s reputation has been under something of an overhaul since the dawn of the 1990s.

The Gothic Trespass in the Life and Songwriting of Tennessee Blues Musician Ray Cashman
DESOLATION BLUES: THE GOTHIC TRESPASS IN THE LIFE AND SONGWRITING OF TENNESSEE BLUES MUSICIAN RAY CASHMAN Victor Bouvéron A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Folklore in the American Studies Department. Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: William Ferris Glenn Hinson Crystal O’Leary-Davidson © 2017 Victor Bouvéron ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Victor Bouvéron: Desolation blues: The Gothic trespass in the life and songwriting of Tennessee blues musician Ray Cashman (Under the direction of William Ferris) This thesis explores the pervading feeling of the Gothic in the life and songwriting of Tennessee blues musician Ray Cashman. I argue that Cashman emotionally responds to the South through the framework of the Gothic to assert his identity as a white southern working- class male. As a reader, writer and performer, he trespasses the lines of race and class. The ethnographic fieldwork I conducted in Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina between 2015 and 2017 led me to reflect on the intriguing relationship between blues, southern Gothic literature and white working-class culture in the South. The songs written by Cashman often express a feeling of desolation, bleakness and decay, invoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone time, or describe eerie landscapes and supernatural presences. Cashman also retells southern Gothic stories, like “Snake Feast,” inspired by Harry Crews’s A Feast of Snakes. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project started the day I met Bill Ferris in Lille, France, in 2013. Bill encouraged me to apply to UNC-Chapel Hill and introduced me to the field of folklore.

With a worn but graceful voice, Christopher Denny sings as though he's lived through more than the average 23 year old. His distinctive and strong voice sets him apart from most singer songwriters. NPR Music / Second Stage Christopher Denny has a voice you haven't heard before. He could be the most moving artist to arrive this year. Amazing. Studio City Sun Christopher Denny is a real deal chicken-fried Southern gothic with a voice garnered from either a deal with the Devil or with God. Crawdaddy Age Old Hunger is chock full of country, gospel and blues influences, interlaced with Denny's idiosyncratic vibrato. Billboard Magazine It's rock, it's gospel, it's right now and it's from sometime long ago, all at once. Most of all, it's full of passion and the "age old hunger" that Denny has been moved to sing about. Dusted The North Little Rock, Ark., native's country-folk cadence has earned him the local moniker of the 'kid with the golden voice.' American Songwriter If you guessed Christopher Denny's age and thought you were only half off, you'd still probably overshoot it by a factor of two, because the twentysomething's Jimmie Dale Gilmore warble sounds like he was born in the 1930s. The Austin Chronicle With a style that's reminiscent of '50s rockabilly, of Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and Scotty Moore, the multi-talented songwriter updates the tradition with natural skill and unpredictable choices. Legion Arts The song's ("Westbound Train") Dylanesque cadence and straightforward sentiment, like the rest of Age Old Hunger, sound sincere and even daring.

TEN Wildness, Eschatology, and Enclosure in the Songs of Townes Van Zandt
TEN Wildness, Eschatology, and Enclosure in the Songs of Townes Van Zandt Michael B. MacDonald INTRODUCTION Loss and tragedy were present in the earliest days of American country music in part because it emerged from the great urbanization of America. This was a time of massive relocation when American life quickly and violently became city life. Country music, like folk music before it, was born from the shock of urbanization. Lola Scobey, in the liner notes of Van Zandt' s 1978 release Flyin' Shoes, remarked: "Townes carries the terror and the sorrow of a deeply sensitive man who has looked into the abyss and seen... the abyss." But this is too romantic; there is no abyss. Van Zandt looked at the folk on Main Street and wrote about it; however, this makes it sound too obvious, perhaps too na1ve. Van Zandt is anything but naive. His observations cut to the bone and reverberate upon the fractured psyche of America gone wrong, an America suffering from loss. I would contend that he wrote about the dark side of the American dream, or, perhaps, that he wrote mini-docu mentaries of the American dream becoming nightmare. However, sloppy words such as these do Van Zandt an injustice. These are the words of platitude and marketing, of Hallmark sentimentality. Van Zandt does not choose these words; instead, he strikes out against marketing corpora tions and entertainment companies who ingest romanticism and replace history with an imaginary vision of an ideal past. Culture is transformed from a living system, developed to help the individual deal with the vagaries, dangers, and paradoxes of life, into a constellation of consum- 145 146 Michael B.

Austin's Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation
Space, Place, and Protest: Austin’s Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation of Texan Identities, 1968-1978 Travis David Stimeling A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Jocelyn R. Neal, Chair Jon W. Finson David García Mark Katz Philip Vandermeer © 2007 Travis David Stimeling ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT TRAVIS DAVID STIMELING: “Space, Place, and Protest: Austin’s Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation of Texan Identities, 1968-1978” (Under the direction of Jocelyn R. Neal) The progressive country music movement developed in Austin, Texas, during the early 1970s as a community of liberal young musicians and concertgoers with strong interests in Texan country music traditions and contemporary rock music converged on the city. Children of the Cold War and the post-World War II migration to the suburbs, these “cosmic cowboys” sought to get back in touch with their rural roots and to leave behind the socially conservative world their parents had created for them. As a hybrid of country music and rock, progressive country music both encapsulated the contradictions of the cosmic cowboys in song and helped to create a musical sanctuary in which these youths could articulate their difference from mainstream Texan culture. Examining the work of the movement’s singer-songwriters (Michael Murphey, Guy Clark, Gary P. Nunn), western swing revivalists (Asleep at the Wheel, Alvin Crow and the Pleasant Valley Boys), and commercial country singers (Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings), this dissertation explores the proliferation of stock imagery, landscape painting, and Texan stereotypes in progressive country music and their role in the construction of Austin’s difference.

Bio Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore
Dave Alvin & Jimmie Dale Gilmore Downey to Lubbock Biography written by: Joe Nick Patoski Downey, California to Lubbock, Texas is a thousand-mile straight shot across the heart of the American West, with not much in between. The cities at each end of the line are one-time cowtowns that grew into symmetrically-platted working-class communities with very little to interrupt the horizon plane, making for big empty canvasses that require a vivid imagination to fill in all that blank space. Dave Alvin from Downey and Jimmie Dale Gilmore from Lubbock have been filling canvasses with music of the American West for decades, coming from two very different directions. The title track explains Alvin is a Strat-packing, wild blues Blaster, a nod to the roots rock band he formed with his brother Phil in 1978 before Dave peeled off to go his own way in 1986. He’s been part of the bands X, the Knitters, and the Flesh Eaters, tours relentlessly with his own band, the Guilty Ones, and continues apace on musical quests informed by his love of California and its history, and by Texas and the South, where most of the great music that was made in Los Angeles before and after the Second World War came from. Gilmore is the old Flatlander from the Great High Plains, acknowledging his first group, the folk-country trio formed in Lubbock 1972 with Joe Ely and Butch Hancock who continue performing and recording today. In addition to the Flatlanders and an extended solo career, he has been part of several ensembles including the Hub City Movers and The Wronglers with Warren Hellman, who started the Hardly, Strictly Bluegrass Festival in San Francisco.
