Susan Boyle Hopes Debut Album 'Delivers' for Fans USA Today Susan Boyle hopes debut album ‘delivers’ for fans USA Today Online, Monday 23 November, 2009 By Elysa Gardner, USA Today 1 Until a few months ago, Susan Boyle could not have dreamed that this day would arrive. The Scottish singer, 48, who became an unlikely overnight sensation last spring after wowing Simon Cowell and the YouTube masses with her rendition of I Dreamed a Dream, releases her debut album Monday. The CD, which shares its title with that song, has set a global record for preorders at Amazon. But some wonder whether the raw but powerful voice that enabled Boyle to achieve fame will be enough to sustain a career, even in the short term. 2 Since Boyle’s meteoric rise, there have been reports of erratic behavior and exhaustion. After placing second on Britain’s Got Talent, she spent several days at a psychiatric hospital. She isn’t doing interviews – a rare decision for any new artist – but consented to answer a few questions for USA TODAY by e-mail. “I don’t want to disappoint anybody,” she wrote when asked whether she felt nervous. “(I) hope I have delivered the record that my fans want.” 3 Produced by Steve Mac, who has worked with Leona Lewis and Kelly Clarkson, Dream consists mostly of covers, a mix of ballads (Wild Horses) and spirituals (How Great Thou Art). Columbia Records chairman Steve Barnett is bullish on its prospects, noting fans “support Susan’s every move. It’s truly a special connection.” 4 In sales, she’s up against big guns: Rihanna, Shakira and American Idol‘s Adam Lambert all have albums out Monday. Amazon’s Craig Pape declines to give figures but confirms that Boyle’s presales surpass others’ “by far.” More than 80,000 orders have rolled in at QVC, which is selling Boyle’s CD with a bonus DVD. “We knew (Dream) would do very well, and it’s exceeded our expectations,” QVC’s Rich Yoegel says. Billboard senior chart manager Keith Caulfield says Boyle’s musical style may be an advantage. “She could appeal to fans who like Andrea Bocelli and Josh Groban, and that’s women over 35, who tend to buy more albums.” 5 Boyle’s promoters “still face the challenge of establishing her as something beyond a novelty act,” says former Spin and Vibe editor Alan Light. “People are often attracted to a star’s story, but the question is if that can be converted into a career.” Boyle seems game to do her part. Referring to her first U.S. concert, airing live Monday morning on NBC’s Today, she wrote: “It has always been my dream to go to Rockefeller Plaza. I am really enjoying TV performances and traveling.” And, no doubt, knowing that others are rooting for her. 6 Says Light: “You hope that she’s been through the most difficult part. Now maybe she can decide what she wants to do and do it.” .

  • Oh Happy Day” – the Edwin Hawkins Singers (1968) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Bill Carpenter (Guest Post)*
    “Oh Happy Day” – The Edwin Hawkins Singers (1968) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Bill Carpenter (guest post)* Original label The Edwin Hawkins Singers If four-time Grammy Award winning singer, songwriter and choirmaster Edwin Hawkins had been a record label executive and had to pick his own radio singles, then his multi- million selling 1968 recording of “Oh, Happy Day” probably would not have become the global anthem that it became in the heart of the counterculture, civil rights and Jesus movements in the late sixties and early seventies. “My mother had an old hymnal and I had a knack for rearranging hymns,” Hawkins says of the song that first surfaced on his custom-made LP “Let Us Go into the House of the Lord.” The song was recorded at the Ephesians Church of God in Christ (COGIC) in his hometown of Oakland, CA to raise money for the church’s 40+-member youth choir to attend a convention. “‘Oh Happy Day’ was an old hymn and I rearranged it. It was actually one of the least likely songs to become a hit. There were some much stronger songs on there. We were going to hand-sell the album in the Bay Area. We ordered 500 copies. Lamont Bench, a Mormon guy, recorded that album on a two-track system. All 500 copies sold.” One of those albums fell into the hands of Abe “Voco” Keshishian, an influential DJ at KSAN 94.9 FM in the Bay area, who started to play “Oh Happy Day” on his “Lights Out San Francisco” blues and rock program in early 1969.

  • Like a Wrecking Ball: Gillian Welch and the Modern South
    LIKE A WRECKING BALL: GILLIAN WELCH AND THE MODERN SOUTH Jason Kirby A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Dr. Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Dr. Bill Albertini ii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This thesis explores the work of “alternative country” music performer Gillian Welch in the context of modern-day Southeastern American regional identity. Gillian Welch, along with her accompanist and songwriting partner David Rawlings, has been known since the mid-1990s for making spare acoustic music which incorporates elements of early country and string-band music, bluegrass, gospel, rock, punk, and folk music. Her songs’ lyrics obliquely address themes of change and continuity central to the Southern roots music she draws upon. Welch has been celebrated as an innovator in the “alt.country” scene, but her detractors have labeled her as inauthentic, due to her status as a woman raised in privilege in California performing music most commonly associated with Southern working-class people. The authenticity debate surrounding Welch is particularly relevant considering the shifting boundaries of Southern regional identity following latter 20th century industrialization and re-migration to the area. Having first established the social and historical context to the debate, in this thesis I argue that Gillian Welch’s music opens up traditionally limited definitions of what it means to be Southern in modern America. Welch’s work proves that it is possible to use the region’s past as a tool to understand its present situation, without sinking into a sort of white nostalgia.

  • Parody As a Borrowing Practice in American Music, 1965–2015
    Parody as a Borrowing Practice in American Music, 1965–2015 A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music by John P. Thomerson BM, State University of New York at Fredonia, 2008 MM, University of Louisville, 2010 Committee Chair: bruce d. mcclung, PhD ABSTRACT Parody is the most commonly used structural borrowing technique in contemporary American vernacular music. This study investigates parody as a borrowing practice, as a type of humor, as an expression of ethnic identity, and as a response to intellectual trends during the final portion of the twentieth century. This interdisciplinary study blends musicology with humor studies, ethnic studies, and intellectual history, touching on issues ranging from reception history to musical meaning and cultural memory. As a structural borrowing technique, parody often creates incongruity—whether lyrical, stylistic, thematic, evocative, aesthetic, or functional—within a recognized musical style. Parodists combine these musical incongruities with other comic techniques and social conventions to create humor. Parodists also rely on pre-existing music to create, reinforce, and police ethnic boundaries, which function within a racialized discourse through which parodists often negotiate ethnic identities along a white-black binary. Despite parody’s ubiquity in vernacular music and notwithstanding the genre’s resonance with several key themes from the age of fracture, cultivated musicians have generally parody. The genre’s structural borrowing technique limited the identities musicians could perform through parodic borrowings. This study suggests several areas of musicological inquiry that could be enriched through engagement with parody, a genre that offers a vast and largely unexplored repertoire indicating how musical, racial, and cultural ideas can circulate in popular discourse.

  • The Eureka Moment: Embracing the New Paradigm of Musical Sounds Through Alternative Pedagogy and Curriculum in the Music Classroom
    TOJNED : The Online Journal Of New Horizons In Education - January 2012, Volume 2, Issue 1 THE EUREKA MOMENT: EMBRACING THE NEW PARADIGM OF MUSICAL SOUNDS THROUGH ALTERNATIVE PEDAGOGY AND CURRICULUM IN THE MUSIC CLASSROOM Dr. John L. Vitale Assistant Professor of Education Schulich School of Education Nipissing University Brantford Campus 50 Wellington St. Brantford, Ontario, Canada [email protected] Abstract: Within seconds of opening the package to a brand new MP3 player, my 8-year-old son installed the batteries, connected his headphones and starting searching for songs. He soon realized that there was no music and said: “Dad, the store ripped us off, they sold us an MP3 player with no music on it.” This was a Eureka moment for me when I truly realized that a major paradigm shift in music listening had transpired -- a new digital paradigm where musical sounds are expected to be ubiquitous and gratis. This principal aim of this article, therefore, is threefold: (a) to highlight the new paradigm of musical sounds rooted in the new age of digital music, (b) to contend that the new paradigm requires alternative approaches to pedagogy in the music classroom embedded in the principles of holistic and democratic education, and (c) to encourage music teachers to adopt alternative curriculum methods entrenched in the new paradigm. Prior to addressing these issues, however, a contextual and theoretical framework that explores the relationship between sound and music is provided. Introduction: Contextual and Theoretical Framework of Sound and Music The boundary between sound and music has been debated amongst musicians, composers, and music scholars for many decades.
