  • 9 X 60 Or 7 X 120 + 1 X
    9 x 60 or 7 x 120 + 1 x 150 Step back in time and journey through the compelling history of a musical art form with Country Music, a new eight-part film directed by Ken Burns, and produced by Burns and his long-time collaborators Dayton Duncan and Julie Dunfey. The series chronicles country music’s early days, from southern Appalachia’s songs of struggle, heartbreak and faith to the rollicking Western swing of Texas, California’s honky-tonks and Nashville’s “Grand Ole Opry.” The film follows the evolution of country music over the course of the 20th century. Country Music explores crucial questions—“What is country music?” 9 x 60 or 7 x 120 + 1 x 150 and “Where did it come from?”—while focusing on the biographies of the fascinating trailblazers who created and shaped it—from the Carter Family, contact Jimmie Rodgers, Bill Monroe and Bob Wills to Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Tom Koch, Vice President Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Charley Pride, Willie Nelson, Dolly PBS International Parton, Emmylou Harris, Garth Brooks and many more—as well as the times in 10 Guest Street which they lived.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

  • Bob Wills Greatest Hits Download Torrent the Great Bob Wills/Remembering
    bob wills greatest hits download torrent The Great Bob Wills/Remembering. The Greatest Hits of Bob Wills. This two-fer from Collectables unites two Bob Wills records that were originally issued as compilations in the first place: The Great Bob Wills was issued in 1965 on the Harmony HL label and Remembering. The Greatest Hits of Bob Wills was issued three years after Wills' death in 1975 as a greatest-hits set by Columbia. What the two have in common are the earliest years and maturing years of the Texas Playboys' recordings; the Harmony HL collection dates almost exclusively from the 1940s, when the band was kicking between 1945-1947. The last cut is an instrumental by Wills called "Bob Wills Special" from 1940, and "Fat Boy Rag" dates from 1938. The Columbia album dates from Wills' first recording session in 1935 through a recording of Fred Rose's "Roly Poly" in 1945. The sound quality is more than acceptable, if not fantastic, and the performances on both albums included are nothing less than stellar. As is typical with Collectables' material, there are no musician credits, though certain tracks cite vocal credits. There is a neat little essay by Don Law -- the man who signed Wills to his first contract with Columbia -- in the booklet which details the 1935 session. For beginners, this is a pretty good place to start at a decent price; for collectors, there probably isn't anything here you haven't heard before. Greatest Hits. This is yet another of the hundred or so el-cheapo Bob Wills compilations.

  • Billy Parker a Country Music Mainstay with 20+ Charted Singles, but Most Influencial In His Roll As Radio Disc Jockey.
    Billy Parker A country music mainstay with 20+ charted singles, but most influencial in his roll as radio disc jockey. Chapter 01 – 1:40 Introduction Announcer: While Billy Parker was a mainstay on country radio, his claim to fame was as an influential disc jockey, not as a performer. Ionically, for all of the Top 40 Country Hits he spun over the course of his decades on the air, not one of them was his own. Born July 19, 1939, in Tuskegee, OK, he began playing guitar as a child and by the age of 14 had made his professional debut on the Tulsa radio program Big Red Jamboree. A few years later, he began performing in clubs and in 1959 landed his first DJ work. By 1963, Billy was the regular daytime disc jockey on KFDI in Wichita, Kansas and also hosted a Tulsa television program. In the same year, he cut his first single, and was named “Mr. DJ U.S.A.” in a nationwide poll, which helped land him at Nashville, Tennessee’s WSM. After his 1966 release “I’m Drinking All the Time”, Parker began playing with Ernest Tubb’s Troubadours in 1968, staying with the group for three years, when he joined Tulsa’s KVOO. Billy was named Disc Jockey of the Year by the Academy of Country & Western Music in 1975 and he won the award again in 1977, 1978, and 1984. In 1976, he scored his first chart hit with “It’s Bad When You’re Caught (With the Goods),” from the album Average Man.
