    “Enigma, wunderkind, control freak, visionary, raconteur, artist advocate, shameless hustler and, in the end, kind heart, Gernhard spent four-and- a-half decades chasing recording art and “blatant novelty with the same dogged determination. Gernhard’s achievements in the music business rival those of Rick Hall, Mike Curb, Phil Walden, and perhaps even Sam Phillips.” —Rodney Crowell, singer-songwriter “DeYoung hooks Phil Gernhard’s genius, discipline, and love of music right up to the side of his self-in- dulgent, carny, smarmy business practices. I had no idea what a huge swath of great work he’d cut, starting right in his own backyard.” —Stan Lynch, songwriter and producer “A great rock ’n’ roll story that’s been hiding in plain sight. It’s the last half century of American music wrapped up in the story of one man.” —William McKeen, author of Everybody Had an Ocean: Music and Mayhem in 1960s Los Angeles “Captures one of the most unheard of, intriguing stories to come from the colorful world of Ameri- can pop music—the life of Phil Gernhard, a driven HAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ARE PEOPLE HAT hit-maker who never let anyone get in his way.” —Steve Huntington, DJ, Radio Margaritaville W PHIL GERNHARD, RECORD MAN Bill DeYoung 978-0-8130-5677-7 • Hardcover $24.95 • 176 pages, 6 x 9, 25 b/w illus.

  • “A Country Beatle”
    X 14 Y “A Country Beatle” Some images and memories seem to come sprinkled with stardust, as if they’d been waiting years for just the right moment to reveal them- selves. That’s the only way to describe the photo Jim Stafford had loaded onto a laptop. Standing in the middle of his parents’ old living room, he pulled up and enlarged the image of four boys—bandmates. Stafford pivoted and turned the computer toward the very spot the picture had been taken two generations before, likely 1961. From left to right, Stafford, Gram Parsons, Lamar Braxton, and Bill Waldrup, one of the earliest incarnations of their garage band, the Legends, are immortalized in black and white. Unlike so many other pictures from his teen years where Gram is somber or trying to look cool, his smile here is unabashed and bright. He had joined a frater- nity of young teens who loved their guitars, and with each chord, each hour of practice, the guitar was loving them back. It’s a quintessential photo of Florida’s garage-band days, and to see it for the first time with Stafford in his old living room, in the very spot it was taken, made the experience far more moving. “Now here I am flipping the bird,” said Stafford, pointing to himself in the photo playing guitar with his middle finger extended on the 112 neck. “That was always my little way of saying ‘howdy.’” Maybe that explains why all the boys in the picture are laughing. Off Snively Avenue on Fifth Street in a working-class enclave called Eloise, due south of Winter Haven, Jim Stafford stopped in front of that tiny shotgun home where his earliest memories revolve around his father Woody playing guitar on the front porch to gain the at- tention of passersby.

  • Grievous Angel: Gram Parsons and the Country Rock Movement
    GRIEVOUS ANGEL: GRAM PARSONS AND THE COUNTRY ROCK MOVEMENT BY JOHN F. STANISLAWSKI DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Jeffrey Magee, Chair Associate Professor Gayle Sherwood Magee Associate Professor Gabriel Solis Associate Professor Jim Hansen ABSTRACT The country rock movement emerged in Southern California in the mid-1960s and was comprised of musicians who, through diverse musical practices and conceptual means, sought to fuse elements of country music with other popular genres. Developing amidst the social and political turmoil that defined the era, country rock provided a space for musicians and listeners to negotiate both musical and cultural boundaries. This dissertation provides a critical analysis of the life, legacy, and music of one of the movement’s central figures: Gram Parsons. Since his death in 1973 at the age of 26, interest in Parsons has steadily increased such that today he is hailed by many critics and fans as the “father of country rock” and the movement’s most influential artist. Much of this posthumous recognition is rooted in idealizations of Parsons’s Southernness, experiences of familial tragedy, fusions of country, rock, blues, and soul, or what he famously called, “cosmic American music,” and the bizarre details of his death. Intended to forge links between Parsons’s biography, music, and idiosyncratic personal style, these elements have been foregrounded by listeners in a way that has allowed Parsons to transcend the limited commercial success he received during his lifetime to attain a nearly mythical status.

  • He Bellamy Brothers Est Un Duo Américain Formé Par Les Frères
    Bellamy Bros - Darby he Bellamy Brothers est un duo américain formé par les frères David Milton Bellamy, né le 16 septembre 1950 et Homer Howard Bellamy, né le 2 février 1946, originaires de Darby, T en Floride, aux États-Unis. Le duo a connu de nombreux succès dans les années 1970 et 1980. À ce jour, ils ont produit plus de cinquante albums, principalement chez Curb Records. David et Howard Bellamy furent dès leur plus jeune âge imprégnés par la musique country que jouait leur père Homer. Ils grandissent dans un ranch de 1100 hectares; leur père Homer, agriculteur et éleveur, joue de la musique country pour son loisir, principalement des airs liés à la Square Dance et au Western Swing. Ils sont entourés par l'amour de leur père, de la musique country et des harmonies et rythmes des jamaïcains travaillant dans les orangeraies de la famille. Avec leur père Homer en 1956 La combinaison de ces influences musicales marque leur enfance, ainsi que le rock n' roll d'Elvis Presley, Ricky Nelson, Buddy Holly et The Everly Brothers y compris la musique Calypso des îles des Caraïbes voisines. Toutes ces sonorités ont contribué à façonner la signature sonore unique des Bellamy Brothers. L’autre partie de la famille est la mère ‘’Frances Bellamy’’ et une sœur qui deviendra chanteuse. La famille en 1950 ‘’Notre ranch appartient à notre famille depuis 1870’’, a déclaré Howard. ‘’Nous avons travaillé très dur sur le ranch, mais père a toujours favorisé les moments de loisir. Il était important pour lui de lier les deux activités ‘’travail et musique’’.
