Robert Davidson 04/23/2019 MUSC 1040 Tia Jaynes Waylon Jennings Robert Davidson 04/23/2019 MUSC 1040 Tia Jaynes Waylon Jennings On June 15, 1937, in Littlefield, Texas, Waylon Arnold Jennings made his humble entrance into the world. William Alvin Jennings, Waylon’s father, provided for the family by working on the G.W. Bitner farm near Littlefield, Texas. The Jennings family eventually moved into Littlefield where William operated a retail creamery. Lorene Shipley Jennings, Waylon’s Mother, taught him how to play the guitar at age eight. It was at this time that Waylon began playing music, competing in local talent shows and various competitions. As Waylon’s musical career began to unfold, he started working as a radio DJ at age 12. At age 16, Waylon Jennings dropped out of high school and worked for his father. The Texas Longhorns, Waylon’s first band, began traveling to Lubbock for radio performances. It was in Lubbock where Waylon first met Buddy Holly. Jennings moved to Lubbock where he worked as a DJ for KVOW and occasionally performed on air. He was fired for playing the music of African-American artists Chuck Berry and Little Richard after the owner had explicitly told him not to do so. Recognizing Jennings’ talent, KLTV’s DJ, Sky Corbin, invited Waylon to Levelland to work for the station. When the Corbin family purchased KLLL in Lubbock, Jennings was hired as the station’s first DJ. It was at this time that Buddy Holly reentered Waylon’s life and invited him to play electric bass and record with him. Buddy Holly and his band, including Waylon Jennings, began their Winter Dance Party tour in 1959. After performing in Clear Lake, Iowa, Holly chartered a plane to avoid the long bus drive to Moorhead, Minnesota. Waylon Jennings gave up his seat to J.P. Richardson, who was suffering from the flu. Hearing that Jennings had given up his seat on the plane, Holly joked “Well I hope your ol’ bus freezes up!” to which Waylon responded, “Well, I hope your ol’ plane crashes!” This would haunt Waylon for the rest of his life as Holly’s plane crashed less than two hours later killing all passengers. The song “American Pie” by Don McLean was written about this accident dubbed “The Day the Music Died.” Deeply affected by the crash Jennings returned to work for KLLL in Lubbock, but his performance declinded, and he eventually left after being denied a raise. In 1955 Jennings married Maxine Lawrence. With Maxines’ father suffering from an illness, the Jennings moved to Coolidge, Arizona. In Arizona, Jennings performed at several bars before being approached to be the lead artist at a new bar, JD’s, owned by Jimmy D. Musiel. Jennings formed his backing band, The Waylors, and quickly developed a local fanbase. With The Waylors, Jennings developed his “rock tempered” style of country music which he would later use to develop “Outlaw Country.” Waylon’s success with The Waylors eventually led to offers from Nashville. Jennings consulted with his friend Willie Nelson on whether to leave JD’s in Phoenix and move the Nashville. Against Willie’s advice to stay in Phoenix, Jennings left for Nashville. After limited success in Nashville and growing debt, Jennings developed an addiction to amphetamines. Some attribute the start of this addiction to the time Jennings spent with his then roommate, Johnny Cash. Jennings released a preview of his future style with ‘Ladies Love Outlaws’ in 1972; The recording was initially ignored by the music industry and would only be recognized later in Jennings career. Jennings contemplated retirement but eventually signed a new manager, Neil Reshen. Soon afterwards Jennings introduced Willie Nelson to Reshen who quickly signed Willie. Most importantly, Reshen secured Jenning’s artistic freedom after Waylon had complained about how Nashville establishment wouldn’t allow him to do things his own way. With his unleahsed creative freedom, Jennings’ rise to stardom began with the release of Lonesome, On’ry and Mean and Honky Tonk Heroes in 1973. In 1976, Jennings released the first Country album certified platinum, Wanted! The Outlaws. The following year Jennings and Willie Nelson collaborated to produce “Luckenbach, Texas”, an all-time great in country music. The duo went on to produce “Mammas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys” in 1978 which is considered a staple of the country genre. “Luckenbach, Texas” was written by Bobby Emmons and Chris Moman who together presented the song to Jennings in 1976. When recorded in 1977 neither of the writers or Jennings had ever been to Luckenbach, Texas. Jennings disliked the song, but recorded it anyways knowing it would be a hit. In his biography Waylon “knew” the song would succeed as “every state has a Luckenbach; a place to get away from things.” Willie and Waylon gained popularity for fighting the “Nashville establishment” and “Luckenbach, Texas” is a prime example of Outlaw Country. As their fame grew, the pair formed a country super-band, “The Highwaymen”, which featured Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson. The group went on to record three studio albums of which “Highwayman” went platinum in the US. In the 1980’s as Waylon’s star began to fade, he was threatened with divorce by his fourth wife, Jessi Colter. Jessi wanted Waylon to quit his cocaine and amphetamine use and become a role model for their son, Waylon Albright ‘Shooter Jennings. Waylon moved back to Arizona where he rented a home and began the fight to kick addiction. Like the cowboys of his songs Jennings fought hard later in life claiming all motivation came from his son Shooter. In 1989 Waylon Jennings earned his GED (General Educational Development) at the age of 52; He did this to emphasize the importance of education to his son. In the 1980’s Jennings’s was influenced by rock and even as his 1970’s stardom faded he continued to pioneer country music. In 1984 he released “Never Could Toe the Mark” which peaked at number six on the US Hot Country Songs chart by Billboard. This single combined the “spanky-twang” of Waylon’s Outlaw Country with elements of the rock genre. The song is in stark contrast to Johnny Cash’s “Walk the Line” whose lyrics read “Because you're mine, I walk the line.” In “Never Could Toe the Mark”, Waylon sings “She don't toe the mark; And I don't walk the line.” Waylon continued his outlaw image recording music until January 2000 when he recorded what became his final album “Never Say Die: Live.” On February 13, 2002, Jennings passed away at the age of 64 in Chandler, Arizona. Jessi Colter sang “Storms Never Last” at his funeral. Throughout all of the awards of Jenning’s career, his most impressive might be Rolling Stone ranking him at #7 on their “100 Greatest Country Artists of All Time” list in 2017. At #6 Rolling Stone ranked his life-long friend, Willie Nelson. Today, Waylon Jennings’ legacy lives on through his timeless recordings and through the work of his son, Shooter Jennings. Shooter recently released his 8th studio album which pays tribute to his father’s “Outlaw Country.” .

  • American Songwriter
    JASON BOLAND Written by Evan Schlansky - May 19th Jason Boland & The Stragglers are a Southern country rock institution with a rabid fan base. We quizzed the Oklahoma native about his rugged new, Shooter Jennings-produced album Dark and Dirty Mile, his songwriting heroes and more. Who are your songwriting heroes? Bob Childers, Mike McClure, Tom Skinner, Randy Crouch, Todd Snider, Billy Joe Shaver, Van Morrison, Townes Van Zandt, Merle Haggard, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, and Johnny Cash. Tell us a bit about your new album. The new album is titled Dark and Dirty Mile. It is nine new songs and a couple of covers from our mentors. We recorded it down at Cedar Creek Studios in Austin with the help of our buddy, Shooter Jennings. How would you compare it to 2011′s Rancho Alto? Every album you hope to inch closer to what you hear in your head. Dark and Dirty Mile has a tone less flattered by modern technology, and catches a funny little glimpse of who we are as players. What’s your opinion on the way modern country songs are written, where co- writers crank out a song a day in the hopes of getting a good one? Every industry has its factory jobs that turn out quantity, but if the consumer left it on the shelf they would cease to exist. Has modern country music gotten any better in the past five years? Not at all. When did you start writing songs? Were they good right away, or did that come later? I started writing songs in high school, I remember feeling good about the songs at the time, so they must of down their job.

  • Billy Joe Shaver
    BIOGRAPHY: BILLY JOE SHAVER OUTLAW ERA’S TREND-SETTING SONGWRITER Billy Joe Shaver has recorded more than twenty albums, but his gritty songwriting has always outshined his career as a singer. That was especially true in 1973 when Waylon Jennings chose nine of Shaver’s songs for Honky Tonk Heroes, among the first and the best of the Outlaw albums. Willie Nelson has declared Shaver “definitely the best writer in Texas . Everything he writes is just poetry.” Born on August 16, 1939, in Corsicana, Texas, Billy Joe Shaver was raised by his grandmother after his father left the family and his mother took a job in Waco, sixty miles away. Shaver grew up listening to the Grand Ole Opry, as well as the rhythm and blues of Corsicana’s African American community, and he began writing songs by age eight. Once out of school, he took different jobs, including one in a lumber mill, where he accidentally cut off two fingers and part of a third on his right hand. “I wouldn’t ever have gone into music if I hadn’t lost big for me,” Shaver said. “I couldn’t possibly get them my fingers,” he said. across the way [Jennings] could.” Seeking a career in songwriting, Shaver finally was While there are no major hits on Honky Tonk Heroes, hired in 1968 at Bobby Bare’s publishing company in it is considered Jennings’s first important work of the Nashville. He got his big break in 1972 when Nelson Outlaw era. Shaver attracted other big-name artists, invited him to perform at his Fourth of July concert in including Bobby Bare, Johnny Cash, Tom T.

  • JAIME WYATT SIGNS to NEW WEST RECORDS to RELEASE ​NEON CROSS​, PRODUCED by SHOOTER JENNINGS, MAY 29Th, 2020
    JAIME WYATT SIGNS TO NEW WEST RECORDS TO RELEASE NEON CROSS, PRODUCED BY SHOOTER JENNINGS, MAY ​ ​ 29th, 2020 “Neon Cross refines Wyatt’s honky-tonk sound into something more lush, layered, and ​ ​ complex.” Rolling Stone ​ Jaime Wyatt will release Neon Cross on May 29th, 2020. The 11-song set was produced ​ ​ by the two-time Grammy Award winning producer Shooter Jennings (Brandi Carlile, Tanya Tucker) and is her New West Records debut. The album features Jennings on the song “Hurt So Bad” and the legendary Jessi Colter on Wyatt’s trad-country feminist anthem “Just A Woman.” It also features Neal Casal on guitar, harmonica, and wurlitzer in one of his final recordings before his death in August of 2019. Neon Cross is the ​ anticipated follow up to Wyatt’s 2017 Felony Blues EP, which was named one of the best ​ albums of the year by Rolling Stone Country, Vice/Noisey, Wide Open Country ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ and more. Wyatt and Shooter Jennings boldly color outside the country lines on Neon Cross, ​ ​ taking a wide-lens sonic and stylistic approach to the songs. Though that sonic backdrop is all in service to Wyatt’s incisive lyrics and expressive vocals, which can be achingly sensitive and sincere one minute, and unflinchingly cocksure and dispassionate the next. On Jennings as a producer, Wyatt said, “What really sold me on Shooter is that he understands grooves — he gets how to instruct a band to build a groove that is so powerful underneath a song. And it’s crazy because that’s what Waylon [Jennings, Shooter’s father] did.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.
