Yesterday and Today Records March 2007 Newsletter
March 2007 Newsletter ----------------------------------- Yesterday & Today Records 255A Church St Parramatta NSW 2150 phone/fax: (02) 96333585 email: [email protected] web: www.yesterdayandtoday.com.au ------------------------------------------------------ Postage: 1 cd $2.00/ 2cd $3/ 3-4 cds $5.80* (*Recent Australia Post price increase.) Guess what? We have just celebrated our 18th anniversary. Those who try things we recommend are rewarded. We have stayed in business for one reason and that is we have never attempted to appeal to the lowest common denominator as mainstream outlets do. At the same time we recognise that people do have different tastes and to some CMT is actually good. We also appeal to those people and offer many mainstream items in our bargain bin. But the legends and true country music are our bread butter and will always be. If you see something you think you may like but are worried let us know. If you pass our inquisition we may be able to send it on a sale or return basis. I say inquisition because if your favourite artists are SheDaisy and Rascal Flatts we certainly aren’t going to risk something as precious as Justin Trevino. By the same token we believe great music is timeless and knows no bounds. People may think chuck steak is good until they try the best rump! Recently I had the pleasure of seeing Dale Watson. Before hand I had the added pleasure of sitting in with my compatriot Eddie White (a.k.a. “The Cosmic Cowboy”) for an interview at the 2RRR Studios. Dale is a humble, engaging and extremely likeable man with a passion for tradition. -

Country-Musik?"-Some Notes on the Popular Music of Texas and the Gulf Coast in West Germany
"COUNTRY-MUSIK?"-SOME NOTES ON THE POPULAR MUSIC OF TEXAS AND THE GULF COAST IN WEST GERMANY by Richard C. Helt The lead article in the October 1976 issue of country corner, one of two nationally circulated country music periodicals in West Germany, details the rift between the Nashville country music "establishment" and the "out- laws'' of the fledgling Texas progressive country movement, and portrays in enthusiastic metaphors the music of the "sogenannte Texas Outlaw Souxld" ("the so-called Texas Outlaw Sound") of Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and colleagues: "In der Tat, im Rieseneintopf der Produkte aus den Studios von Music City, U. S. A. muten die Klange der 'Rebellen' wie exotische Farbtupfer an . ."("It's a fact that the sounds of the 'rebels'come across as exotic spots of color in the gigantic ragout of products which come out of the studios of Music City, u.s.A.").'
