  • Tanya Tucker
    Tanya Tucker │Biography │ One of country music’s greatest legends, Tanya Tucker, has just released her much anticipated new CD, My Turn, on Saguaro Road Records. On this new album Tucker takes classic country songs originally recorded by the all time great male legends of the time and turns the tables, giving classics such as “You Don’t Know Me” and “Oh, Lonesome Me” a powerful reconstruction from a woman’s point of view. Only 13 when her provocative “Delta Dawn” caused a nationwide stir and became a Top 10 country hit, Tucker has built one of the most successful and compelling careers in music. Considered one of the very few females of the “outlaw” country movement, she holds a Grammy award, two Country Music Association awards, Two Academy of Country Music awards, and three CMT Awards. 23 of her albums have landed in the country Top 40 chart since her 1972 debut, and she has amassed 10 #1 country singles, 33 that have reached the Top 5, and 41 in the Top 10. Always reinventing herself, Tanya again became a media darling in 2005 as the star of her own television reality series, Tuckerville. The primetime series was a huge hit for TLC, generating the cable network’s highest Neilsen ratings ever, and guaranteed the show’s return in 2006. Having sold over 50 million records over the last three decades, country music icon Tanya Tucker is among the all-time best selling female vocalists in country music. “Surprisingly mature at a very young age, Tanya Tucker continues to grow today, taming and conquering tunes long assumed to be a man’s territory.

Holladay 45 INTRODUCTION: (pg. 3): Fifty years ago, when I was a child, I heard stories about Grandma; dark stories that hinted that she had killed a woman. This deed was denied by some of my relatives, and the details were never clear. The subject was generally a shameful one, hush•hushed, and never openly talked about. This story lingered in the back of my mind, though, when I lived with my Grandma in the summers and on visits throughout my early life up until the time of her death. What I could not do was reconcile these innuendos with the woman that I knew. Throughout my life, I have attempted to understand both she and my Grandfather and tried to understand the times in which they lived. This paper is an investigation into and an attempt to understand the woman and her husband and the affair that occurred in the context of the times, some ninety years ago here in the Upper Cumberland.

  • Vanguard Label Discography Was Compiled Using Our Record Collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1953 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963, and Various Other Sources
    Discography Of The Vanguard Label Vanguard Records was established in New York City in 1947. It was owned by Maynard and Seymour Solomon. The label released classical, folk, international, jazz, pop, spoken word, rhythm and blues and blues. Vanguard had a subsidiary called Bach Guild that released classical music. The Solomon brothers started the company with a loan of $10,000 from their family and rented a small office on 80 East 11th Street. The label was started just as the 33 1/3 RPM LP was just gaining popularity and Vanguard concentrated on LP’s. Vanguard commissioned recordings of five Bach Cantatas and those were the first releases on the label. As the long play market expanded Vanguard moved into other fields of music besides classical. The famed producer John Hammond (Discoverer of Robert Johnson, Bruce Springsteen Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin) came in to supervise a jazz series called Jazz Showcase. The Solomon brothers’ politics was left leaning and many of the artists on Vanguard were black-listed by the House Un-American Activities Committive. Vanguard ignored the black-list of performers and had success with Cisco Houston, Paul Robeson and the Weavers. The Weavers were so successful that Vanguard moved more and more into the popular field. Folk music became the main focus of the label and the home of Joan Baez, Ian and Sylvia, Rooftop Singers, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Doc Watson, Country Joe and the Fish and many others. During the 1950’s and early 1960’s, a folk festival was held each year in Newport Rhode Island and Vanguard recorded and issued albums from the those events.

  • Spring 2020 Newsletter & Calendar of Events
    SPRING 2020 NEWSLETTER & CALENDAR OF EVENTS RATIFIED! TEMPORARY EXHIBITION, PG 2 NEW ACQUISITIONS, PG 14 CALENDAR OF EVENTS, PG 18 FROM THE DIRECTOR It was 100 Years Ago … his year marks the 100th Anniversary of Tennessee’s role in the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which secured the T right to vote for women nationwide. The drama surrounding the vote in the Tennessee State Capitol that hot August day in 1920 is well known. Lesser known are the stories of those Tennesseans who fought for decades, throughout the state, to advocate for women’s rights. This spring, with the opening of Ratified! Tennessee Women and the Right to Vote, we look back at those individuals to explore the origins of their cause, how Tennessee wound up being its final battleground, and its ramifications in the century that followed. The exhibition will be complemented all year long by a calendar of programming that explores multiple facets of the women’s suffrage movement, from the experience of African American women, to the organization of the anti-suffrage movement, to the role of fashion. Our events calendar at the back of the newsletter includes those events already scheduled for this spring and early summer, but be sure to check our online calendar at TNMuseum.org for newly-added events throughout the year. Elsewhere in this issue, our collection highlight continues our suffrage theme and delves into a letter written by Alice Paul, leader of the National Woman’s Party, to Mary Shaut White of Johnson City, who served on the National DIRECTOR’S NOTE: Earlier this month, Middle Committee of State Chairmen for the Congressional Union.

Larger orders will be sent in satchels where possible. What a couple of months it has been with 3 major players passing away. George Jones: what can you say that hasn’t already been said. His passing really took every one by surprise. He had had a few trips to hospital over the past couple of years and most were of a precautionary nature so it was a real shock. Vern Gosdin, in the great “Chip Off the Old BlocK” says “Jones sounded just like Hank” when he first heard him so the classic voice we came to know and love was honed over many years. His greatest moment is unquestionably “He Stopped Loving Here Today”. Written by two of the best in Bobby Braddock and Curly Putman it gained the award for the CMA Song of the Year in two consecutive years, 1980 and 1981 which is unprecedented. Everything about the song is wrong as far as hit potential goes. There is a ridiculously long intro and the song is sad. George apparently didn’t like the song and insisted the lost love make a return...or so the story goes. And indications are the final single release was actually culled from a few recording session. But who cares. It is beyond criticism. Superb enough to play and play and pay and never get tired of it.
