Phillip HoustonBy Phillip H.A look into Nashville ties from some of the greatest musicians in America. Marshall has a way of drawing out honesty and emotion from her interviewees that us rare! Marshall Chapman knows Nashville. A musician, songwriter, and author with nearly a dozen albums and a bestselling memoir under her belt, Chapman has lived and breathed Music City for over forty years. Her friendships with those who helped make Nashville one of the major forces in American music culture is unsurpassed. And in her new book, They Came to Nashville, the reader is invited to see Marshall Chapman as never before--as music journalist extraordinaire.In They Came to Nashville, Chapman records the personal stories of musicians shaping the modern history of music in Nashville, from the mouths of the musicians themselves. The trials, tribulations, and evolution of Music City are on display, as she sits down with influential figures like Kris Kristofferson, Emmylou Harris, and Miranda Lambert, and a dozen other top names, to record what brought each of them to Nashville and what inspired them to persevere. The book culminates in a hilarious and heroic attempt to find enough free time with Willie Nelson to get a proper interview. Instead, she's brought along on his raucous 2008 tour and winds up onstage in Beaumont, Texas singing "Good-Hearted Woman" with Willie.They Came to Nashville reveals the daily struggle facing newcomers to the music business, and the promise awaiting those willing to fight for the dream.Co-published with the Country Music Foundation Press "Chapman is a great storyteller and has a knack for turning these sometimes rambling narratives into compelling portraits of musicians' lives as well as a tribute to Nashville."--The Library Journal"It's sometimes too easy to assume our musical heroes are somehow superhuman, but every one of these interviews, and the chapter on Willie Nelson, reveal just how human and normal they really are. Sure, talent is something special, but Chapman realizes that great insights can be generated after remembering details about the car driven for the first time to the city where music dreams were accomplished."--blurt-online.com"Only Marshall Chapman has the talent and fabulous reputation in the music business to author this book. They Came to Nashville is the book to own about the music business. Kris Kristofferson, Emmylou Harris, Don Henry, Willie Newlson and Beth Nielsen Chapman are just a few of the stars who share with Chapan the ups and downs of why they came and stayed or not in Nashville."-- BookWoman/BookMan"Hearing bold-letter names narrate their humble first days in town can be charming and disarming, and the book is in a lot of ways about chasing dreams, told by a lineup of people who actually caught them (it's less hokey than it sounds)."--nashvillebyline.com/blog"the chronicle that dreamers with guitars on their backs and music in their hearts will want to keep close as they reach for the bright lights of stardom."--theboot.com"Reading these wide-ranging interviews is like sitting in on intimate conversations between old friends reminiscing about good times and bad in a city where the promise of a music career inspires musicians to persevere doggedly in pursuit of their dreams."--bookpage.com"What is impressive about Marshall Chapman is that she is a champion listener."-- thealternateroot.com"The result is a fascinating if episodic, picture of the Nashville music scene, especially along the creasees whre country and rock once overlapped and, to an extent, still do."--StarNewsOnline.com"I didn't read this book as much as I inhaled it ... great insights into the ways of 15 great American creators."--William McKeen, author of Outlaw Journalist: The Life and Times of Hunter S. Thompson"Chapman brings us memorable Nashvillians and nails that 'coming to town' experience in funny, charming, honest ways." --Barry Mazor, author of Meeting Jimmie Rodgers"Who but Marshall could have brought back these living, breathing tales from the other side of Nashville?" -- Chet Flippo, Editorial Director, CMT/CMT.comFrom the Inside FlapMusician-turned-author/journalist Marshall Chapman (Goodbye, Little Rock and Roller) asks Nashville stars what brought them to Music City USA.About the AuthorMarshall Chapman came to Nashville in 1967 to attend Vanderbilt University and wrote her first song in 1973.

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.

  • Biography: Marshall Chapman
    BIOGRAPHY: MARSHALL CHAPMAN SINGER, SONGWRITER, AND OUTLAW For five decades, Marshall Chapman has been an accomplished singer, songwriter, published author, and actor. Although her name isn’t as well known as others in the Outlaw era, she played an important role in the 1970s movement. Martha Marshall Chapman II — named after her paternal grandmother — was born on January 7, 1949, in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and she was always called Marshall. Chapman’s father was a wealthy textile-mill owner and her mother was active in local politics. When she was seven, she attended an Elvis Presley concert, and she became an instant fan of rock & roll. By high school, she was performing on the guitar. In 1967, she enrolled in Nashville’s Vanderbilt University at the urging of family friend Walter Forbes, a former RCA recording artist. At the songwriter Danny Flowers suggested she would be time, Chapman thought the Nashville music scene stuck singing other people’s songs unless she wrote was mostly made up of the traditional sounds her own, she picked up pencil and paper. of the Grand Ole Opry.

  • A Conversation with Suzy Bogguss by Frank Goodman (12/2007, Puremusic.Com) What a Singer. When, Only Now and Then, a Singer's Ba
    A Conversation with Suzy Bogguss by Frank Goodman (12/2007, puremusic.com) What a singer. When, only now and then, a singer's basic sound is completely arresting, it's like a wake up call. You can have attitude, you can be dramatic, elastic or gymnastic-- but when you have that sound, you can just sing, and it's all there. You can dial in degrees of whatever else you want, but that's just icing on the cake. And it's the cake they call angel's or devil's food, right? A dozen or so albums into a charmed career, Suzy says she's just realizing she's actually the thread that ties it all together, not whether she's singing Country, or Swing, or Jazzy Pop. And the last of those is the place where Sweet Danger goes with assured poise. Though most of her fantastic work has been in the Country vein, her fans followed her when she cut the landmark Swing record with her old friend Ray Benson and past and present members of Asleep At The Wheel. It's a cinch that they will be along for the ride here to witness Suzy absolutely killing the great Beth Nielsen Chapman and Annie Roboff song "Right Back Into The Feeling," or the mindblowing cover of the Peter Cetera classic "If You Leave Me Now." Sometimes you don't really get how great a singer is until they come out of the bag that made them famous. We said jazzy pop, but at times it feels also like a really great soft rock album.

  • A Creator's View of the Music Ecosystem and DMCA
    A Creator’s View of the Music Ecosystem and DMCA Creating music that matters is more than just a labor of love – it takes all the joy, loss, courage, fear, and humanity that we have. But whether it’s a Platinum megahit or a lonely ballad written for just one heart, we are grateful for the chance to share our stories and our truth. We see much to celebrate in today’s music landscape – including vibrant digital services that help fans connect with the songs they love. But we also see profound obstacles facing young artists and songwriters hoping to find their voice and build a sustainable career. One of the biggest hurdles is an outdated and ineffective law called the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Many big tech companies have figured out how to game this law – hiding behind its sweeping immunities while earning billions off of our work. Meanwhile, too many working artists, musicians, songwriters, and producers are left to fight for digital scraps. Thanks to the DMCA, a single video service has swallowed up almost every other form of listening, while paying among the lowest royalties in the business – rates it extracts from creators who have no effective way to keep unlicensed copies off the service if they refuse. The DMCA leaves creators at the mercy of rogue websites that operate at the farthest reaches of US law – and beyond – and offers no meaningful way to hold repeat offenders to account. And forces us to stand by helpless as billions of dollars in advertising is sold around illegal copies of our work.
