One of the most distinctive and recognizable sounds in the music industry, The Oak Ridge Boys’ four-part harmonies and upbeat songs have spawned dozens of Country hits and a Number One Pop smash, earned them Grammy, Dove, CMA and ACM awards and garnered a host of other industry and fan accolades. Every time they step before an audience, the Oaks bring four decades of charted singles and 50 years of tradition to a stage show widely acknowledged as among the most exciting anywhere. Duane Allen, Joe Bonsall, William Lee Golden and Richard Sterban comprise one of Country music's truly legendary acts. Members of the Grand Ole Opry (2011), the Country Music Hall of Fame (2015) and the Gospel Music Hall of Fame (2000), the Oaks have a string of hits that includes the Country-Pop chart-topper Elvira, as well as Bobbie Sue, Dream On, Thank God For Kids, American Made, I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes, Fancy Free and many others. Their career has spanned not only decades, but also formats. In 1978, their breakthrough album from Gospel into mainstream, Y’All Come Back Saloon, produced by Ron Chancey for ABC Records, brought their first Number One single, I’ll Be True To You. The year before, Paul Simon had tapped them to sing backup for his hit Slip Slidin’ Away. In the decades to follow, the Oaks have recorded with George Jones, Brenda Lee, Johnny Cash, Roy Rogers, Billy Ray Cyrus, Bill Monroe, Ray Charles, Leon Russell, Merle Haggard, Blake Shelton and Shooter Jennings, the son of their old friend Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter. The latter led to a relationship with now multiple award-winning producer Dave Cobb. The Oaks recorded their first album with Cobb in 2009, covering a White Stripes song and receiving accolades from Rock reviewers. Since that time, they have recorded four albums with Cobb. Altogether, the Oaks have scored 12 gold, three platinum, and one double platinum album—plus one double platinum single—and had more than a dozen national Number One singles and over 30 Top Ten hits selling more than 41 million albums..

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.

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.

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.

Wait, no, that’s not what I’m reviewing here! While writing this review I ended up scanning Sweetwater and found a similarly-spec’d subwoofer for four times the price of the ICE Cube-12. Now that we’ve put this in perspective... In Tape Op #82, I reviewed Carl Tatz’s PhantomFocus System after running around Nashville with Carl and visiting various rooms he’d set up. PhantomFocus is less of a “product” and more of a way to set up and treat control rooms; one that generates a very clear and impressive image in the listening position. The ICE Cube-12 is meant to be used in mono pairs in a PhantomFocus System and never muted out of the monitoring scheme. Being that Carl designed this sub as part of a whole system, I bet it works quite well in his rooms.
