KFDI/Wichita APD Carol Hughes: I about fell off my sofa when they opened the show with “Pledge Allegiance To The Hag.” They included songs that would never be on an awards show. Jason Aldean’s medley was fantastic. I loved the Milestone Awards.

  • THE MUSICAL FEATURES of 2015'S TOP-RANKED COUNTRY SONGS
    THE MUSICAL FEATURES OF 2015’s TOP-RANKED COUNTRY SONGS By Mason Taylor Allen Senior Honors Thesis Department of Music University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill April 22, 2016 Approved: Dr. Jocelyn R. Neal, Thesis Advisor Dr. Allen Anderson, Reader Dr. Andrea Bohlman, Reader © 2016 Mason Taylor Allen ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Mason Taylor Allen: The Musical Features of 2015’s Top-Ranked Country Songs Under the direction of Dr. Jocelyn R. Neal The 2015 top-ten country songs analyzed in this study are characterized by the various formats of their song form, harmonies, and lyrics. This thesis presents a comprehensive study of the structure and narratives in sixty-seven songs that summarizes the distinctive features within those domains of contemporary commercial country music. A detailed description of the norm along with identifiable trends emerges. The song form that features most prominently in this repertory includes a verse-chorus-bridge form with three iterations of the chorus, an intro and outro section, and instrumental sections immediately following each chorus. The top-ten country songs have varying degrees of departure from this typical model. Primary features of the harmonies of these top songs include the frequent use of a double-tonic complex, the absence of a 5-1 authentic cadence, the same chord progression throughout the verse, chorus, and bridge, and the use of only two chords throughout the song. Lyrical analyses show that 2015 songs are continuing the traditional themes about romantic attraction, love, heartache, good times and partying, home, family, nostalgia, religion, and inspiration, within the context of small-town country life that this genre has used for years.

  • Rhythm Is Gonna Get You”-- Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine (1987) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Ilan Stavans (Guest Post)*
    “Rhythm Is Gonna Get You”-- Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine (1987) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Ilan Stavans (guest post)* “Let It Loose” album cover 45rpm single Enrique Garcia Gloria Estefan’s “Rhythm Is Gonna Get You,” which represents the apex of Cuban influence on American R&B, also serves as a thermometer for Latino assimilation to the United States, especially in Miami, which was always Estefan’s base. The song came about shortly before her bus accident in 1990, as she was touring, an event that marked her profoundly, physically and creatively. As such, it represents her “early” style and approach, in comparison with a later period in which Estefan would invoke her Cuban roots and upbringing in more concrete fashion. Along with “Conga,” “Bad Boy,” “Get on Your Feet,” “Party Time,” and about half a dozen more, the song made Estefan internationally known. Performed together with Estefan’s group, Miami Sound Machine, founded by her husband Emilio Estefan, it is part of the immensely successful album “Let It Loose” (1987), which went multi-platinum. The song itself was Top 5 on the US Billboard Top 100. It came to define R&B and become a staple of the post-disco disco era because of its eminently danceable qualities. Indeed, most people associate it with an Americanized version of Latin twirl. Estefan is originally from Havana (she was born in 1957). She and her family—her father was a motor escort for dictator Fulgencio Batista’s wife—were part of a massive wave of mostly upper- and middle-class Cubans who moved to the United States in the 1960s, absconding Fidel Castro’s Communist regime.

  • Heritage Month
    HARRIS BEACH RECOGNIZES NATIONAL HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH National Hispanic Heritage Month in the United States honors the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. We’re participating at Harris Beach by spotlighting interesting Hispanic public figures, and facts about different countries, and testing your language skills. As our focus on National Hispanic Heritage Month continues, this week we focus on a figure from the world of sports: Roberto Clemente, who is known as much for his accomplishments as humanitarian as he is for his feats on the field of play. ROBERTO CLEMENTE Roberto Enrique Clemente Walker of Puerto Rico, born August 18, 1934, has the distinction of being the first Latin American and Caribbean player to be inducted in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. He played right field over 18 seasons for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Clemente’s untimely death established the precedent that, as an alternative to the five-year retirement period, a player who has been deceased for at least six months is eligible for entry into the Hall of Fame. Clemente was the youngest of 7 children and was raised in Barrio San Antón, Carolina, Puerto Rico. During his childhood, his father worked as foreman of sugar crops located in the municipality and, because the family’s resources were limited, Clemente worked alongside his father in the fields by loading and unloading trucks. Clemente was a track and field star and Olympic hopeful before deciding to turn his full attention to baseball. His interest in baseball showed itself early on in childhood with Clemente often times playing against neighboring barrios.

  • Dave Cobb Episode Transcript
    VOICES IN THE HALL DAVE COBB EPISODE TRANSCRIPT PETER COOPER Welcome to Voices in the Hall, presented by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. I’m Peter Cooper. Today’s guest, producer extraordinaire Dave Cobb. DAVE COBB When we approach these records we approach it much the way a record would’ve been done in 1965, 1970. And it’s humans playing together. There are mistakes all over the record. There’s timing issues, there’s tuning issues, there’s pitch issues, there’s flubs of words. The same way people are seeking out organically grown food, I think people are seeking out organically grown music at the same time. The moment I heard Chris Stapleton I was like, “Man I’ve got to track him down.” If I can just get to Nashville I’d run into him and I’d run into Jason Isbell and try to sucker them in to make records. I like to fly by the seat of my pants. Walk in and see what’s going to grab you that day. To me it was a really cool thing about linking really great artists that I like now, and linking Nashville, what Nashville is today. Taking kind of a snapshot of it. And I love it when I get to introduce somebody to somebody else I think is talented. And you see there eyes both sparkle. And I love the unity in the scene. That’s why I moved here. PETER COOPER It’s Voices in the Hall, with Dave Cobb. “4th of July” - Shooter Jennings (Black Magick / Universal South) PETER COOPER “Fourth of July,” from Shooter Jennings.

  • IT 18-6 Activity Plans
    In Tune Activity Plans – Volume 18, Issue 6 Cover Story: Chris Stapleton Is Starting Over National Standards: 7-8, 11 Until 2015, Chris Stapleton was known as a songwriter. As those around him finally convinced to begin performing, he appeared in a few venues and finally on a TV awards show, supported by other artists and a band that included his wife. Then came his debut album, and it was so successful that at 37 years old, he vaulted to the top of the country music world. Now, with his fourth album, he’s crossing over to the mainstream and finding worldwide acclaim. Part of the reason is his unique style of “country.” Prepare Have students listen to some of Stapleton’s music, particularly the new song “Cold” which leads the In Tune Listening List for March. Does this sound like a country song? What does it sound like, and why? Key points in the article: • Late in life (for a musical star) a songwriter becomes a performer and recording artist • His music infuses multiple styles • He is a family man who eschews the celebrity lifestyle • He isn’t dependent on the songwriter community in Nashville for material, as he writes his own Begin Review vocabulary words from the article: • ENGINEERING: the use of scientific principles to design and build machines, structures, and other items, including bridges, tunnels, roads, vehicles, and buildings. • MUSIC ROW: street in Nashville, Tennessee where many record labels, publishing companies and other music industry offices are located. • INFLECTION: the modulation of tone or pitch in the voice.

  • “Standardization of Cultural Products in Latin Pop-Music”
    “STANDARDIZATION OF CULTURAL PRODUCTS IN LATIN POP-MUSIC” RESEARCH PAPER PREPARED FOR THE 28TH ANNUAL ILASSA CONFERENCE ON LATIN AMERICA TO BE HELD AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN FROM FEBRUARY 7TH THROUGH FEBRUARY 9TH ISRAEL ALONSO CHAVEZ LATIN AMERICAN AND CARIBBEAN CENTER FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY MIAMI, FLORIDA [email protected] 2008 Introduction 2 This work represents the initial stage of a project whose seed germinated thanks in part to what seems to be an ongoing debate between two different approaches to music in the sociological field. The first approach puts much of its emphasis on the functional dimension of music. That is, on the social functions it performs, enables and enhances; but also on its economic functionality. The subservience of music to economic ends does not imply a loss in terms of creativity for the representatives of this perspective. The second perspective does not deny that music fulfills certain economic and social functions. Yet, unlike the former, the latter warns against the atrophy of creativity that can be brought about by the models implented by “the culture industries”, to use Theodor W. Adorno’s concept. My concern here lies with the question of whether the claims made by this important member of the Frankfurt school about the products of “the culture industries” can be substantiated with empirical evidence. I want to investigate whether popular music (Latin pop music in this case) is indeed, as Adorno says, just another standardized product fashioned after the formulas of “the culture industries”. This work, however, forms part of a broader preoccupation with the issue of musical style, what causes it and what makes it change.
