Multimillion-Selling Singer Crystal Gayle Has Performed Songs from a Wide Variety of Genres During Her Award-Studded Career, B
MultiMillion-selling singer Crystal Gayle has performed songs from a wide variety of genres during her award-studded career, but she has never devoted an album to classic country music. Until now. You Don’t Know Me is a collection that finds the acclaimed stylist exploring the songs of such country legends as George Jones, Patsy Cline, Buck Owens and Eddy Arnold. The album might come as a surprise to those who associate Crystal with an uptown sound that made her a star on both country and adult-contemporary pop charts. But she has known this repertoire of hardcore country standards all her life. “This wasn’t a stretch at all,” says Crystal. “These are songs I grew up singing. I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time. “The songs on this album aren’t songs I sing in my concerts until recently. But they are very much a part of my history.” Each of the selections was chosen because it played a role in her musical development. Two of them point to the importance that her family had in bringing her to fame. You Don’t Know Me contains the first recorded trio vocal performance by Crystal with her singing sisters Loretta Lynn and Peggy Sue. It is their version of Dolly Parton’s “Put It Off Until Tomorrow.” “You Never Were Mine” comes from the pen of her older brother, Jay Lee Webb (1937-1996). The two were always close. Jay Lee was the oldest brother still living with the family when their father passed away.

Led by pacesetters such as Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Bobby Bare, artists in Nashville and Austin demanded the creative freedom to make their own country music, different from the pop-oriented sound that prevailed at the time. This exhibition also examines the cultures of Nashville and fiercely independent Austin, and the complicated, surprising relationships between the two. Artwork by Sam Yeates, Rising from the Ashes, Willie Takes Flight for Austin (2017) 3-6 Introduction 3 This interdisciplinary lesson guide allows classrooms to explore the exhibition Outlaws and Armadillos: Country’s Roaring ‘70s on view at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum® from May 25, 2018 – February 14, 2021. Students will examine the causes and effects of the Outlaw movement through analysis of art, music, video, and nonfiction texts. In doing so, students will gain an understanding of the culture of this movement; who and what influenced it; and how these changes diversified country music’s audience during this time.

Mark Malak Stage Name Eddie Rivers 2020 Outstanding Alumnus
BEAVER DAM UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT WALL OF FAME Mark Malak Stage Name Eddie Rivers 2020 Outstanding Alumnus Mark Malak is a 1972 graduate of Beaver Dam High School and is a nationally and internationally recognized steel guitarist. Through hard work and determination, Mark left his imprint on the country music industry. His love of Western Swing music led him to self-teach himself the basics of the steel guitar. His reputation as an excellent musician began with his performances with local bands, which is when he adopted his stage name of Eddie Rivers. His talents led to him joining the best-known Western Swing bands in the State and he soon became recognized as one of the finest steel guitar players in the Midwest. He was asked to join the Grammy-winning Western Swing Band, Asleep at the Wheel. At that time, Mark had to decline due to family obligations and for the next several years he continued performing on weekends. He was given another opportunity to join Asleep at the Wheel, which he then accepted and pursued his career as a professional musician. He recorded over 30 albums with the band and they toured nationally and internationally playing large stadiums to theaters, including the Grand Ole Opry. Mark and the band performed on the David Letterman Show and numerous times on Austin City Limits. In 2015, Mark and other members of Asleep at the Wheel were inducted into the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame. During his career, Mark also toured with country music legends Ray Price, Willie Nelson, and Merle Haggard on their Last of the Breed concert series and performed with numerous country music stars.

<BillNo> <Sponsor> HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION 518 By Beck A RESOLUTION to recognize and honor the Grand Ole Opry on its 5,000th Saturday night broadcast. WHEREAS, the members of this General Assembly are proud to specially recognize a legendary institution that has contributed significantly to the country music industry and brought acclaim to the State of Tennessee the world over; and WHEREAS, on October 30, 2021, the Grand Ole Opry will send over the airwaves its 5,000th Saturday night broadcast, a momentous occasion in the history of this touchstone of American culture; and WHEREAS, "the show that made country music famous" began on Saturday, November 28, 1925, when a young announcer on Nashville radio station WSM introduced an eighty-year- old fiddle player, Uncle Jimmy Thompson, as the first performer on a new show called The WSM Barn Dance; and WHEREAS, announcer George D. Hay, who labeled himself "The Solemn Old Judge," but was neither old nor a judge, realized he had started a good thing that fateful night; and WHEREAS, this acclaimed radio show followed an NBC network radio program on Saturday nights called The Music Appreciation Hour; in 1928, Mr. Hay announced on the air, "For the past hour we have been listening to music taken largely from the Grand Opera, but now we will present the Grand Ole Opry"; the name stuck and the rest is history; and WHEREAS, crowds of people would come to the studio and stand in corridors to enjoy the Grand Ole Opry in person; WSM then decided to move the Opry to its own home, Studio C, wisely believing
