www.americanradiohistory.com Ampex proudly announces the release of Jesse Winchester's first LP

BY JUAN RODRIGUEZ Montreal - Jesse Winchester arrived in Montreal early in the summer of 1967. He moved be- cause of the Draft Now Winchester has an album out (on Ampex) , produced by the Band's Robbie Robertson. It is a firm, beautifully per- formed and composed record, one that will surely mark Win- chester as one of the important singer- songwriters. The fact that Robertson plays lead guitar on the album and that Levon Helm chips in on drums and mandolin here and there is bound to be of interest. But it is Winchester's album through and through, conveying a unique personal sensibility. Winchester's music is rich in its depth and heritage, as it is a consummation of everything he grew up with. His sound is clean, like the Band's, Southern, with measures of rock and roll, gos- AMPEX RECOROS pel, even jazz - whatever comes naturally. He sings as he writes, in a gentle but strong voice. He's a relaxed, perfectly paced singer, possessing beautiful ballad phrasing and plenty of funk on A10104 STEREO LP uptempo numbers. Winchester, like the best singer- songwriters, does not separate words, music and performance - it's all one thing. "It used to be that a song could get across all the feeling you wanted from very, very sim- ple words. Now the word has become more important. But, to me, I still like a sound song. I don't like a lotta words. The fewer the better, the simpler the better ... in everything." Winchester simply sings away, with nothing forced or put -on. The back -ups are fluid and mel- low, rocking and rolling and, at times, just being quiet about it. The album, recorded in To- ronto, is also a fine production AMPEX achievement for Robertson, RECORDS simply because he has remained Available on Ampex Stereo Tapes faithful to the singer.

Another panelist in this group, Some of the reasons Troy Shondell, explained briefly the role of the performance rights organizations. irJ`Z; r.1 McKinnon Warns In another of the discussions, g'qJ Dan McKinnon of KSON, San Diego, warned that if country music continues toward its mod- ndered to be em trend it could lose its identity. He said it wasn't necessary for country music to identify with "ONE OF THE GREATEST IN SHOW BUSINESS youth because youth really is not "! experienced enough to identify with country. Bill Jenkins of WWOL, Buf- falo, said his station avoids using the term "country" because it doesn't need an identity tag. Bill Wheatley, of WWOK, Miami, uses the term, but says the music speaks for itself. Rocky Reich of WUNI, Mobile, said his station simply doesn't make an issue of it. McKinnon said artists today make more money and sell more records in a broader market, but insisted they should not forget the music that brought them initial recognition. When he tries to broaden too much," Mc- Kinnon said, "he develops a nothing sound." McKinnon said KSON, in order to avoid the "too modern" sound, often plays records a few years old before the strong trend toward modern- ism began. Jenkins said today's Nashville Sound picks up middle- of -the- road and rock graduates, and gets programming away from blandness. He said the country music fan "no longer wears white socks, and that stressing the blue collar audience has backfired." He suggested it is a more sophisticated audience. *THE STONEMANS IN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE AT SAN FRANCISCO'S FILLMORE WEST- APRIL, 1970 Bill Olsen, WINN, Louisville, and Bill Mack of WKLN, Wil- mington, N.C., also stressed use of the Nashville Sound to "keep the station sound consistently good," and to "sell clients."

Seminar Probes " THE TOOLS Waylon Sales, Airplay Jennings Continued from page 56 COULD BE OF explanations by Johnny "K," Bruce Nelson and Ralph Paul as to how to go about this. The workings of the Country Sales DOOGIES' Record Council were outlined. Dave Olson, Larry Scott, Earle Faulk, George Richey, Scotty Turner and Jack Gardiner took part in opening sessions. TRADE " One of these dealt with the lyric content of songs and what should be the standard in regard to whether a song should be considered offensive. Examples cited were such tunes as "Son of the Hickory Holler Tramp," "Harper Valley P.T.A." and "Aunt Maudie's Garden." From the viewpoint of record execu- tives Turner of UA- Imperial said most artists are signed on the strength of their material, and that the company has to think it has possibilities of be- coming a commercial hit, based upon what people want to hear. From the disk jockey point of view stations were told to "use their own judgment in the matter. The other main issue of the session was raised by Bob Mc- Abory of CFGM, Toronto. He maintained that country stations " DOOGIE were becoming too "top 40" oriented with time and tempera- ture and a general Drake format. This touched off a heated and lengthy discussion. RAY " Jack Gardiner opened the ses- sion by appealing to those gathered to concentrate on the main job of the radio per- sonality and that is "to teach the audience." He urged people not get involved in judging the product itself. BY Entertainment for the success- ful seminar, sponsored by Tom McEntee and Country Music Survey, included Lawanda Lind- sey, Linda K. Lance, Karen GEORGE Kelley, Jamie Kaye, Dee Mul- lins, Wayne Kemp, Non-o Wil- ( HELLO I'M A JUKEBOX son, Jack Barlow and, as a sur- prise at the end, Don Gibson. The Hickory artist climaxed the affair with his appearance. KENT Music was provided by Charley McCoy, Lloyd Green, Willie Ackerman, Jimmie Ko- varts and Joe Allen. Wesley Rose, an observer at the seminar, called it one of the finest things to happen to coun- try music.

According to the metallic content, different coins cause different magnetic conditions, and can thus be identified. Machines can therefore be set to take only coins with the correct metallic content. The cost of the device is ex- pected to be around $5.50 since it is extremely simple.

www.americanradiohistory.com Announcing The Release ( ) r Beethoven's Biggest Hit in 200 years

Once every year or so an emphatically unlikely single comes out of nowhere to render the pop cosmos, well, topsy -turvy. Such a record was Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale" in 1967, Joe Cocker's "With A Little Help From My Friends" in the waning moments of 1968, or the Edwin Hawkins Singers'"Oh Happy Day" in 1969. Such a record is Miguel Rios' "A Song Of Joy," right now. Unlikely? You bet your booties... Would you, after all, have ever suspected that a pop adaptation of Beethoven's "Ode To Joy" by a Spanish teen heart-throb backed by an orchestra and chorus under the direction of South American Suite composer Walter de Los Rios would so electrify the airwaves from the Pyrennes to Toronto that even so august an observer as Rolling Stone's man in Canada and Beatle confidante Ritchie Yorke would be moved to exude in its behalf: "... It is such an overwhelming record that once you've heard it you will remember it for life... it may well be- come the anthem of a generation searching for Utopia..." We wouldn't have either. But unwary though we may have been, we're only too delighted to bestow this marvel upon the United States, whose pop charts would otherwise have looked rather barren during this, the Beethoven pi-Centennial, without a little something by that unlikely composing chap at their pinnacle.
