John the Revealator Freeform American Roots Roots JOHN THE REVEALATOR FREEFORM AMERICAN ROOTS #142 ROOTS• ■ 4 BIRTHS. ■ . & DEATHS » REVIEWS ( o r n o t ) BETTYSOO & DOUG COX ELIZA GILKYSON • HAL HARRIS GAL HOLIDAY & THE HONKY TONK REVUE WAYNE WALKER THE STONE COYOTES ‘NONE OF THE HITS, ALL OF THE TIME’ CHURCHWOOD Churchwood is anything but the same old blues from Austin Texas. On their debut album for Saustex, they recall the glory days of Captain Beefheart & Tne Magic Band and bring whiffs of CHURCHWOOD Jon Spencer to the mix - blues music that's adventurous innovative, wild, wooly and stirring that comes down from deep within the musical delta of that hipster realm known as Bohemia via the garage. The band reunites guitarist Bill Anderson (known for his six-string mastery and versatility with such diverse bands as Poison 13, The Horsies and The Meat Purveyors) and singer/lyricist Joe Doerr (with roots music cred from his 1980s stint in the leaenaary LeRoi Brothers), who led Ballad Shambles and Hand of Glory for three now prized albums on the Skydad label during their late '80s/early '90s run. Anderson and guitarist Billy Steve Korpi (Crack Pipes) raise an electrified fury behind Doerr's impassioned yelps and howls to create a rhythmically musical acid trip that takes the blues far into this new 21 st Century ife without leaving the style's raw Southern origins behind.

If 2020 was the summer where everyone stayed home, 2021 will be the one where people can’t wait to get back out.

The beginning of a real night of fifties Rock’n'Roll with many singers sitting in throughout the evening including Cliff Edmunds (the Avengers), a perfect rendering of ‘Move It’ and ‘Brand New Cadillac’; Pete Stockton ‘Girl Of My Best Friend’; Dave Sampson (the Hunters) sang ‘Love Me’; Danny Rivers, ‘Can’t You Hear My Heart’ plus Ray Lee (Dream Lover) and of course Rockin' Gerry Champion of the 2i’s coffee bar, rocked ‘I Go Ape’. Everybody was here not only to celebrate Keith’s birthday but also to thank him for all his great efforts in keeping the faith and attracting musicians from that magic time, way back when I was really young and played or jived the night away in Soho town. We even had a Skiffle group and Allan Bailey, (Soho Leg-ends) sang ‘Rock Island Line’.

INFORMATION We all know that the Grand Ole Opry wanted nothing to do with rock 'n' roll, while the Louisiana Hayride gave national expo- sure to Elvis Presley, Johnny Horton, and others. Well, the Hayride wasn't alone. The Big 'D' Jamboree in Dallas started with Texas country music but embraced the new music, giving an all-important break to Carl Perkins, Gene Vincent, and many, many more. In a nearly two-decade run that began in the aftermath of World War II, the Saturday night extravaganza packed the Spor- tatorium, a metal wrestling arena in a seedy neighborhood south of downtown. Broadcast locally on KRLD and nationally on CBS radio, the Jamboree was an exuberant cross-section of the most vibrant coun- try and rock 'n' roll music of the time, showcasing everyone from talented but largely forgotten singers such as Riley Crabtree, Orville Couch and Helen Hall to national figures, including Johnny Cash, Sonny James, Hank Locklin, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Wanda Jackson and Gene Vincent.

This year’s version of North America’s premier touring guitar festival features guitarists from South America, Italy, England, and the United States. American “guitar poet” Brian Gore’s playing contains a “bounce and spaciousness all his own” (Los Angeles Times). He created International Guitar Night in 1995 and has released multiple albums and books on fingerstyle guitar. Italian steel-string guitarist Pino Forastiere fuses the classical, contemporary, and rock genres as he “employs a dazzling blend of slapping, tapping, strumming, altered tunings, and harmonics, combined with classical phrasing and a focus on distinct and addictive melodies” (Guitar Player). English fingerstyle guitarist Mike Dawes has developed a multifaceted repertoire of sound in his short but successful career, fusing Celtic, rock, jazz, and experimental music to create a product all his own. He has gained praise from artists like Gotye, Frank Turner, and Justin Hayward.

    ETHAN HAWKE WILL RECEIVE THE FESTIVAL PRESIDENT'S AWARD AT 55TH KARLOVY VARY INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL Karlovy Vary IFF will honour Ethan Hawke, an American actor, director, and writer, who will receive the Festival President's Award at its 55th edition taking place August 20–28, 2021. The Award is given to actors, directors, and producers who have contributed in a fundamental way to the development of contemporary world cinema. (credit: Ethan Hawke, Paris Match, November 29, 2019, photographer Francois Berthier) „We are thrilled to welcome to Karlovy Vary an artist we’ve been admiring for a long time. In 2018, KVIFF paid tribute to the Austin Film Society and it is exciting to extend our appreciation of this renowned organisation’s work by honoring an actor and director who is so closely connected to the Texas independent film scene,“ said artistic director Karel Och and executive director Krystof Mucha. Hawke will personally introduce Paul Schrader’s thriller First Reformed, in which he brilliantly portrays a parish pastor in crisis of faith. Hawke also recently released his first novel in twenty years, A Bright Ray of Darkness, published by Knopf in February 2021. The novel explores art and love, fame and heartbreak in a blistering story of a young man making his Broadway debut in Henry IV just as his marriage implodes. Also, on the author front, on July 20, 2021, Hawke and New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Greg Ruth, will debut Meadowlark: A Coming of Age Crime Story.

Guess what? We have just celebrated our 18th anniversary. Those who try things we recommend are rewarded. We have stayed in business for one reason and that is we have never attempted to appeal to the lowest common denominator as mainstream outlets do. At the same time we recognise that people do have different tastes and to some CMT is actually good. We also appeal to those people and offer many mainstream items in our bargain bin. But the legends and true country music are our bread butter and will always be. If you see something you think you may like but are worried let us know. If you pass our inquisition we may be able to send it on a sale or return basis. I say inquisition because if your favourite artists are SheDaisy and Rascal Flatts we certainly aren’t going to risk something as precious as Justin Trevino. By the same token we believe great music is timeless and knows no bounds. People may think chuck steak is good until they try the best rump! Recently I had the pleasure of seeing Dale Watson. Before hand I had the added pleasure of sitting in with my compatriot Eddie White (a.k.a. “The Cosmic Cowboy”) for an interview at the 2RRR Studios. Dale is a humble, engaging and extremely likeable man with a passion for tradition.
