The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum will honor a Nashville institution, Tootsies Orchid Lounge, with a new photographic exhibition, Tootsies Orchid Lounge: Thirty-Four Steps and Fifty Years. The exhibit, which opens April 1, will be presented in the Museum’s West Gallery and will run through September 30, 2011. In 1960, Jeff and Hattie Louise “Tootsie” Bess bought a small restaurant on Broadway in Nashville and rechris- tened it Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge. With its proximity to the Ryman Auditorium, the club became a haven for many Grand Ole Opry stars, who would run over and grab a drink between sets. As Willie Nelson described the trek, “It’s 17 steps to Tootsie’s and 34 steps back.” Through the years, Tootsies regulars included country stars such as Patsy Cline, Webb Pierce, Charley Pride and Faron Young, as well as up-and-coming songwriters Bill Anderson, Tom T. Hall, Harlan Howard, Kris Kristof- ferson, Roger Miller and Mel Tillis. When the Opry moved to the Opryland complex in 1974, Tootsie’s fell out of favor. And by the time Tootsie Bess died in 1978, downtown Nashville was experiencing the urban blight that affected many cities in the 1970s. In danger of closing, Tootsies was brought back to life by entrepreneur Steve Smith, who bought the club in 1992. Smith’s structural renovations and canny musical bookings, which included future country star Terri Clark, breathed new life into the club. Coinciding with this was the re- emergence of downtown Nashville as an entertainment district. Today, Tootsie’s provides a historic anchor amid a thriving entertainment scene. Tootsies Orchid Lounge: Thirty-Four Steps and Fifty Years features a dozen photographs that capture memora- ble moments at Tootsies, both onstage and off, including shots of Jamey Johnson and Mel Tillis performing to- gether; Kenny Chesney and rocker Steve Miller onstage; and Kid Rock admiring the club’s décor, featuring walls plastered with 50 years of artist photographs. The exhibit will also include text panels and additional his- toric photos detailing the venerable club’s half-century of history. www.countrymusichalloffame.org THE MARSHALL TUCKER BAND CELEBRATES 40 YEARS OF MUSIC MTB Set to Release The Marshall Tucker Band: Greatest Hits on April 5 Forty years ago the Marshall Tucker Band roared out of Spartan- burg, South Carolina, at the dawn of the '70s, spurred on by cama- raderie and a hunger for adventure. They began forging a musical legacy that quickly turned into a legend. Their ability to blend rock, country, jazz and blues won them a fervent following and changed perceptions of what American pop music could be. On April 5, 2011, marking its 40th Anniversary, the Marshall Tucker Band re- leases The Marshall Tucker Band: Greatest Hits (Shout Factory). The 14-track album features original recordings of the songs that made the MTB a household name. MTB traces its beginnings to the late 1960s, when lead guitarist Toy Caldwell and rhythm and blues singer Doug Gray formed the Toy Factory after the two of them returned from military service in Vietnam. In 1971 Toy and Doug assembled a new group, the MTB, with bassist Tommy Caldwell (Toy’s brother), rhythm guitarist George McCorkle, drummer Paul Riddle and reed player Jerry Eubanks. Naming their group after a local piano tuner, Marshall Tucker, they began playing Spartanburg area clubs, sharing the stage with the Allman Brothers and other Southern rock peers. The Marshall Tucker Band built its lasting success on raw talent, inspired live shows and innovative, heartfelt songs. The release of this updated Greatest Hits album and continuing to tour regularly will keep adding to their legendary status as one of Southern Rocks greatest, innovative, and longest lasting bands. www.marshalltuckerband.com Want More Customers or Fans Advertise in the Country Entertainment USA Magazine www.countryentertainmentusa.com Call (615) 474-0162 or E-mail [email protected] Country Entertainment USA P.O.

Cargill - Ordinary Man www.bobbycargill.com Bobby G. Cargill gets the album rolling with the title cut, “Ordinary Man.” The first few notes feature a sweet country fiddle, which sets the tone for the entire pro- ject. All the songs, written by Bobby, build a solid foundation for this traditional country project. Obviously influenced by his Texas roots, his smooth, easy vocal arrangements match the movement of the steel guitar and fiddle very well. Overall, the CD has an authentic sound and well worth a listen. Ron Tanski - Dragged You Down www.rontanskimusic.com This album was a little surprising, never expecting Ron Tanski’s vocals to turn down a musical path reminiscent of the legendary Louis Armstrong. His rich, blues vocals along with his unique piano style bring each of the twelve self-penned songs to life. Although a sparse production with all but three songs being piano/vocal, his voice captivates and dominates and puts a new spin on an old style with a little bit of jazz, some boogie woogie and a whole lot of blues. Nice. Lathan Moore - Love In Your Life Blue Steel Records www.lathanmoore.com Lathan Moore mined coal to get enough money to come to Nashville - but there are no chunks of coal in this collection - it is chalked full of gems. A nice country “twang” sound makes this a pleasurable listen. Whether singing the ballad “Cornfield Cadillac” or the up-tempo, “I’d Rather Be Lucky Than Good,” Lathan delivers a believable and honest vocal that resonates well with traditional country music. He has made an impression with this - his debut CD - looking forward to seeing what comes next in his career.

  • JAMES RAE “JIM” DENNY (1911-1963) Music Publisher
    JAMES RAE “JIM” DENNY (1911•1963) Music publisher, booking agent, long•time manager of the Grand Ole Opry, and promoter of Nashville’s music industry, was born in Buffalo Valley, Putnam County, TN. As a young man, Denny found work as a mail clerk with the National Life and Accident Insurance Company, parent organization to WSM and the Grand Ole Opry. With growing interest in country music, Denny was running the WSM Artists Service Bureau by 1946, booking Opry talent and other WSM acts. Denny eventually managed the Grand Ole Opry itself. Denny, along with his predecessor, Jack Stapp, is responsible for updating the face of the Opry. As promoters and developers of talent, they helped to transform the Opry from a popular barn dance to a showcase of country superstars, ensuring its growth and long•term success. During their tenure, the cast grew enormously, most major stars became Opry members, and an Opry appearance became a must goal for many performers. In 1954 Denny and Opry star Webb Pierce formed Cedarwood Publishing Company, for a time the most important publishing house in Nashville. Driftwood Music, a companion firm, was a partnership between Denny and Carl Smith, another Opry star. These business interests led to conflict of interest allegations by WSM and eventually Denny’s dismissal. With his knowledge of WSM operations, Denny achieved immediate success as a booking agent. The Jim Denny Bureau served most of the artists Denny had signed while at the Opry. Billboard magazine estimated that, by 1961, the bureau was handling over 3,300 personal appearances worldwide.

As it turned out, the collective talents of The Marshall Tucker Band took them very far indeed. Today, the band records on its own RAMBLIN’ RECORDS Label (distributed by Sony/RED) and continues to release new and previously unreleased material. Still led today by founding member and lead singer Doug Gray, they represent a time and place in music that will never be duplicated. Gray is quick to credit the band's current dynamic members with carrying on the timeless essence of The Marshall Tucker Band sound. Current members include the highly respected drummer B.B.
