Carter Robertson POTT “Very seldom does one get to experience the view from inside the circle around a superstar artist… Recollections of her years as part of Country music’s famed Outlaw movement with none other than Waylon Jennings are told with candor, grace and conviction.” John Zarling, VP/Promotion and Media Strategy-Big Machine Label Group “This is a ‘must see to believe’ modern day fairy tale. Don’t miss this combination of musical genius with a story to tell.” Jessi Colter, recording Playin’ on the Tracks-LIVE! is the compelling musical artist and songwriter memoir of Carter Robertson’s transformation from a child of the rural church culture with a behind-the-stage perspective, to a world-class performer at the epicenter of Country Music’s “Outlaw Movement.” As the only female member of Waylon Jennings’ band, Carter gives us a backstage pass into her, at times irreverent, but always inspiring world, where music rules, humor softens real life tragedies, and perceived failures result in redemption. It’s music and storytelling at it’s best. This live show featuring country classics from Hank Williams, Bob Wills, Willie Nelson, and Waylon is more than a concert. Through spoken word and multimedia, Carter’s stories weave together a memorable production for audiences at Performing Arts Centers, regional theaters, and concert halls. NOW BOOKING FOR 2015-2016!

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.

  • 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.

  • Remembering Waylon
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Jaclyn Todisco 646-695-7053 [email protected] REMEMBERING WAYLON AN UNPRECEDENTED AUCTION FOCUSING ON THE LIFE AND TIMES OF WAYLON JENNINGS, THE LEGENDARY OUTLAW COUNTRY MUSICIAN WHO CARVED HIS WAY TO SUPER-STARDOM Memorable objects from Jennings’ career, plus remarkable items from many of his fellow musicians and friends including Hank Williams, John Lennon, Chet Atkins, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Muhammad Ali New York, NY (August 5, 2014) – On October 5 at Phoenix's stunning Musical Instrument Museum, New York City-based auction house Guernsey’s will resurrect the aura of outlaw country megastar Waylon Jennings with the sale of many of his personal belongings. For the first time, Jennings’ legions of fans will have a chance to own a piece of musical history. The featured collection is being offered by country music legend Jessi Colter, Jennings’ wife of more than thirty years with whom he often shared the stage. The event will help bring attention to the important care provided at the Phoenix Children’s Hospital. A driving force of the Outlaw Country movement that erupted in the ‘70s, Jennings rejected the conventions of country’s manufactured “Nashville Sound” and reached superstardom with his commanding baritone and stripped-down, updated honky tonk, which gave his music a gritty edge all its own. His style changed the face of country music and influenced countless musicians, as his songs consistently appeared on both Billboard’s country and pop charts throughout a career that spanned more than five decades. Jennings’ album Wanted! The Outlaws – featuring collaborations with his wife, Jessi Colter, Willie Nelson, and Tompall Glaser – peaked at No.1 on the charts and was the first country album to be certified platinum.

  • Austin's Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation
    Space, Place, and Protest: Austin’s Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation of Texan Identities, 1968-1978 Travis David Stimeling A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Jocelyn R. Neal, Chair Jon W. Finson David García Mark Katz Philip Vandermeer © 2007 Travis David Stimeling ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT TRAVIS DAVID STIMELING: “Space, Place, and Protest: Austin’s Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation of Texan Identities, 1968-1978” (Under the direction of Jocelyn R. Neal) The progressive country music movement developed in Austin, Texas, during the early 1970s as a community of liberal young musicians and concertgoers with strong interests in Texan country music traditions and contemporary rock music converged on the city. Children of the Cold War and the post-World War II migration to the suburbs, these “cosmic cowboys” sought to get back in touch with their rural roots and to leave behind the socially conservative world their parents had created for them. As a hybrid of country music and rock, progressive country music both encapsulated the contradictions of the cosmic cowboys in song and helped to create a musical sanctuary in which these youths could articulate their difference from mainstream Texan culture. Examining the work of the movement’s singer-songwriters (Michael Murphey, Guy Clark, Gary P. Nunn), western swing revivalists (Asleep at the Wheel, Alvin Crow and the Pleasant Valley Boys), and commercial country singers (Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings), this dissertation explores the proliferation of stock imagery, landscape painting, and Texan stereotypes in progressive country music and their role in the construction of Austin’s difference.

    VOICES IN THE HALL JESSI COLTER 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, Jessi Colter. JESSI COLTER The prophecy that was given my mother when I was born was that I would be a musician, but I never felt destined to be a star. Chet Atkins said to me, “What name do you think you should use?” And my father had told tales of Jessi Colter, who was rumored to have been the chief counterfeiter for Jesse James. And I thought that name kind of sounded good. Daddy didn’t like it. “No,” he says, “that’s a man’s name.” But I used it. Time passes and situations change, but deep down inside I don’t really think you change. I’m still looking at the wonder and the scenery, finding more and more to be excited about. PETER COOPER It’s Voices in the Hall, with Jessi Colter. I “Why You Been Gone So Long” - Jessi Colter (A Country Star is Born / Sony) PETER COOPER That was Jessi Colter, singing the brilliant Mickey Newbury song, “Why You Been Gone So Long.” Jessi is a remarkable songwriter in her own right. She was the unlikeliest of outlaws in the 1970s, when she teamed with Waylon Jennings in a leather and lace marriage that produced a songwriting son and a bunch of great country records.Jessi Colter, welcome to Voices in the Hall. JESSI COLTER Oh thank you, it's a joy to be here.
