Behind the Moon by Bobby Giles • Verse 1 Can anybody tell me, Can anybody see Why anyone would leave here, 'til all her pain was free Who's gonna play that fiddle, who's gonna sing steel rails Who's gonna solve the riddle, only Miss Porter can tell • Chorus She had so many questions; she found some answers too Guess her heart won't ache no longer, up there behind the moon • Verse 2 We'd talk of Amarillo, a new wine colored dress She used to have a fellow; he ain't the cause of this There was no one to blame, she found out at the end Somehow a shooter bore her name When death became Miss Porter's friend • Chorus She had so many questions; she found some answers too Guess her heart won't ache no longer, up there behind the moon • Break • Verse 3 Somebody play that fiddle, somebody sing steel rails She finally solved the riddle When Miss Porter rang heaven's bell • Chorus She had so many questions; she found some answers too Guess her heart won't ache no longer, up there behind the moon ©2005 Bobby Giles Bluegrass winning popularity contest over blues BY STEVE MORSE When the bluegrass outfit the Johnson Mountain Boys broke up in the early '90s, it complained that bluegrass was in much less healthy shape -- commercially speaking -- than another American roots genre, the blues. If the group had only known what was ahead, maybe it would have stayed together. Since then, the two genres have gone in different directions -- bluegrass to the top of the mountain, blues to the bottom. Bluegrass has forged new stars from Alison Krauss (who performs Wednesday with Union Station at Ravinia) to Nickel Creek and King Wilkie. But the blues has not sustained new talent -- something that's hard to do when blues clubs are closing their doors. ''The drive and rhythm of bluegrass was an instant hook for me,'' says King Wilkie's Ted Pitney, a twentysomething picker who fell in love with the music when backpacking around Australia with a couple of bluegrass tapes. He and bandmate Reid Burgess attended Kenyon College in Ohio, where they skimmed the radio dial to find something different -- and it was bluegrass. ''There's a swing to it, it's organic, and it's a far cry from the industrial pop and rock that is out there,'' adds Pitney. Clearly, bluegrass also received a bigger boost from the success of the "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack (which has sold close to 7 million copies) and ''Cold Mountain'' soundtrack than the blues did from Martin Scorsese's PBS documentary series ''The Blues'' two years ago. But that only tells half the story. The rest is that bluegrass is now perceived as cool and hip, while the blues is often viewed as old-fashioned. ''Years ago, bluegrass had more of a hay-bale image, but the level of sophistication has gone up dramatically,'' says Ken Irwin, co-owner of Cambridge, Mass.-based Rounder Records. His label has seen bluegrass sales shoot up (Krauss and her band Union Station sold 70,000 copies of their last album in its first week of release), while sales of blues albums rarely surpass 20,000 copies. "Blues records are selling 20 percent of what they were in the late '80s and '90s,'' says Rounder vice president Scott Billington. ''I played in a lot of rock bands and was a music major in college and focused on jazz,'' says King Wilkie's Pitney. ''But bluegrass grabbed me. And we don't want to pretend that we're Bill Monroe [the father of bluegrass] back in 1946. We want to translate it into our own time and voice.'' That's what Ricky Skaggs -- who won this year's Grammy for best bluegrass album -- has been doing for years. "I'm 50 years old. If I were 50 in country music, they'd be putting me out to pasture. But in bluegrass, you cross into 'legend' status,'' Skaggs says with a laugh. ''Not that I'm putting myself in that category.'' As commercial country music has become more about airbrushed artists and less about artistry, peo- ple have gravitated toward bluegrass, Skaggs says. ''Country has been losing its center and is looking more toward pop and VH1,'' he says. ''It's more about looking great on camera than it is about music. But with bluegrass, in order to survive, you have to be good. There's a higher talent level.'' Meanwhile, the blues world is foundering. ''The blues is in a rut. There's no doubt about it,'' says Rounder's Billington. ''I think it's going to take the right artist to fan the embers again.'' Eddie Collins CD Release Parties at The Live Oak Coffee House and Cactus Cafe Eddie Collins kicks off the Live Oak Coffee House Fall concert series with a CD release party for his new CD, Golden Wings, which includes 13 original songs written by Eddie. The concert will be on Friday, August 26th, at 7:30 with doors opening at 7:00. Performing alongside Eddie will be several of Austin's best bluegrass musicians, including Mike Montgomery on fiddle, Mark Rubin on bass and Paul Sweeney on mandolin. Sarah Jarosz, who recently performed at the CMA awards show with Earl Scruggs and Ricky Skaggs, will open the show. Tickets can be purchased at the door for $10 with 25% of the proceeds going to the National Scoliosis Foundation.

  • About the Nashville Bluegrass Band a Digital Version of This Text Is Available Online At
    About the Nashville Bluegrass Band A digital version of this text is available online at www.nashvillebluegrassband.net/media With two Grammy Award-winning albums and two Entertainer of the Year honors from the International Bluegrass Music Association, four time IBMA Vocal Group of the Year, the Nashville Bluegrass Band, is no stranger to acclaim from critics and fans alike. The band’s personnel are sought-after, first-call studio musicians, known for a superior level of creativity and a commitment to traditional music styles. Collectively and singularly, the members of NBB have virtually defined the modern bluegrass sound. Nashville Bluegrass Band was initially formed to accompany Minnie Pearl and Vernon Oxford on a 1984 Grand Ole Opry package tour. Three original members are still in the group –– Alan O’Bryant (banjo), Pat Enright (guitar), and Mike Compton (mandolin) — though Compton left for twelve years, replaced by Roland White until Compton rejoined at the end of 2000. Award-winning fiddler Stuart Duncan has been a band member since 1985. Only the bass slot has seen any turnover; its current seat is held by talented Andy Todd, who came on board in 2005. NBB celebrated its twentieth anniversary in 2004 with the release of its sixth Grammy-nominated album, Twenty Year Blues. As if on cue, in 2006 the Nashville Bluegrass Band was invited to the White House by President George W. Bush to entertain in honor of visiting president of China, Hu Jintao. It was a very special honor for NBB as well — twenty years earlier, NBB had been the first bluegrass band ever to be permitted play in the People’s Republic of China.

  • Wilkie Family Press
    July – August 2007 http://www.popmatters.com/pm/review/94945-king-wilkie-the-wilkie-family-singers/ King Wilkie Presents: The Wilkie Family Singers (Casa Nueva) UK release date: 25 May 2009 By Juli Thanki King Wilkie may have borrowed their name from Bill Monroe’s horse, but that’s about all they have in common with the father of bluegrass on their newest album, released on the fledgling Casa Nueva label. The staid Monroe would never have created a concept album about a family band receiving therapy, for example. But while bluegrass purists may turn up their nose at King Wilkie’s most recent incarnation, folkies, alt-country enthusiasts, and fans of 1960s and ‘70s singer-songwriters might just fall in love with this project as the Wilkie Family channels Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Simon & Garfunkel, the Beatles, and other masters of pop. Though King Wilkie was a rather traditional bluegrass band at the time of their first release, 2004’s Broke, they began experimenting with their sound almost immediately, resulting in 2007’s Low Country Suite. But following LCS the band experienced a spate of personnel changes, leaving frontman Reid Burgess to regroup and reinvent once more. Hence this new venture, which is unlike anything King Wilkie has done. The Wilkie Family Singers are a 14-person band, featuring the shipping magnate patriarch, his six adult children (who are still living at home), some cousins, a cat, a parrot, a neighbor, a family friend, and, of course, Dr. Art, the family’s therapist/occasional pianist. If this is starting to sound like the indie movie flavor of the month, rest assured that there is no concrete storyline on the album, nor any guest appearances from bedheaded hipster heartthrobs.

  • Open Letter to the Chancellor
    The Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP Chancellor of the Exchequer 11 Downing St Westminster London SW1A 2AB 15 October 2020 Dear Chancellor, We are writing to you as representatives of the freelance arts sector in the hope that you will support the #MakeMusicWork campaign, which is backed by the Musicians’ Movement, the Incorporated Society of Musicians, and the many other organisations represented in this letter. This campaign offers two clear and viable solutions for the Government to take forward that will get our creative industries safely back to work. 1. Freelance Performers Support Scheme First, we ask that you introduce a new Freelance Performers’ Support Scheme to facilitate the reopening of music venues under social distancing and see the return of live performances. This new scheme would include grants for venues designed to cover the loss of income due to the reduced ticket sales required by social distancing guidelines. This grant would be in addition to the income generated from ticket sales. The scheme would also include a guaranteed fee for each performer with a cultural exemption on VAT for tickets. This would: - create a route back to work; kickstarting the live music sector, bringing back tens of thousands of viable jobs, uniting communities and protecting our national culture; - guarantee performers a minimum fee, even if COVID restrictions change, which in turn enables some financial security in these unprecedented times; - give venues and promoters the opportunity to programme in advance without financial insecurity, enabling promoters of all sizes to start curation and allowing their communities to connect once more; - be flexible and scalable in relation to government guidelines and ensure government spending is used effectively; - have transferable principles for other parts of the creative industries, with the potential for the sector to unite around a funding model that works for all arts-sector initiatives.
