  • Gibson Declares Bankruptcy
    Gibson Declares Bankruptcy David Diaz, CEO,Davenport Laroche Another timeless rock and roll icon is headed to “rehab”. This time, though, it’s not a performer. It’s the brand that tied together some of rock’s biggest names, from Elvis Presley to Keith Richards, Jerry Garcia, Slash, Ace Frehley and Jimmy Page. Each of these icons played Gibson. Slash, in fact, was an official brand ambassador for the guitar brand he proudly played on stage during a meteoric six-year run with Guns ‘n Roses. Seeing one of the new breed of guitar gods ripping through sets on his Gibson inspired a new generation of shredders to grab their Les Paul or Standard, jam and dream. Now, though, Gibson has hit a major roadblock, filing for bankruptcy protection as the company struggles to mitigate half a billion dollars in debt. As a result of the bankruptcy filing, the press is reporting that creditors will “take control” of the company, that was founded way back in 1902 and helped defined American music for more than a century. Because Gibson guitars were so popular for so many years, many are wondering why, exactly, the company is in such dire straits. There are several reasons, though many are blaming the relatively recent acquisition of Philips’ consumer audio division a few years back. That, in fact, is the first thing Gibson’s new ownership plans to let go in an attempt to get the business back in the black. The company will divest itself of the line of headphones, loudspeakers and turntables that have proven to be a drag on profitability.

    Issue 128 JANUARY 11TH, 2021 Things change with time, as my very close friend likes to say. Here’s my New Year’s wish: that things change for the better in 2021. A new year brings new possibilities. We’re saddened by the loss of Gerry Marsden (78) of British Invasion legends Gerry and the Pacemakers. Their first single, “How Do You Do It,” hit number one on the British charts in 1963 – before the Beatles ever accomplished that feat – and they went on to have other smash records like “Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Crying,” You’ll Never Walk Alone,” “I Like It” and “Ferry Cross the Mersey.” These songs are woven not just into the fabric of the 1960s, but our lives. In this issue: Anne E. Johnson covers the career of John Legend and rediscovers 17th century composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier. Larry Schenbeck gets soul and takes on “what if?” Ken Sander goes Stateside with The Stranglers. J.I. Agnew locks in his lockdown music system. Tom Gibbs looks at new releases from Kraftwerk, Julia Stone and Max Richter. Adrian Wu continues his series on testing in audio. John Seetoo mines a mind-boggling mic collection. Jay Jay French remembers Mountain’s Leslie West. Dan Schwartz contemplates his streaming royalties. Steven Bryan Bieler ponders the new year. Ray Chelstowski notes that January’s a slow month for concerts – with a few monumental exceptions. Stuart Marvin examines how musicians and their audiences are adapting to the pandemic. I reminisce about hanging out with Les Paul. We round out the issue with single-minded listening, the world’s coolest multi-room audio system, mixed media, and a girl on a mission.

That town being Nashville, it means some of the best players anywhere—and Guthrie Trapp followed Johnny Hiland’s tenure. Gigs with Garth Brooks, Alison Krauss, Dolly Parton, Lyle Lovett, Randy Travis, Vince Gill, Sam Bush, Travis Tritt, George Jones, and dozens of other heavyweights followed. Trapp developed his prodigious chops while growing up on the border of Florida and Alabama, and by 16 he had won the Alabama guitar and mandolin competitions twice running. But before you pigeonhole Trapp as a country player, you should know his electric schooling came courtesy of his uncle’s Johnny Winter records. And, any categorization becomes irrelevant once you hear Guth- rie Trapp [Guthrie Trapp Records], featuring Nashville bass legend Michael Rhodes and drummer Pete Abbott (known collectively as TAR).

  • LINER NOTES Recorded Anthology of American Music, Inc
    ALL THE RAGE: New World Records 80544 Nashville Mandolin Ensemble At the turn of the twentieth century, a sound lilted through the air of American music like nothing that had ever been heard before. It inspired one writer to call it “the true soul of music.” It inspired thousands of Americans to pick up instruments and form groups to create this sound for themselves. It was the sound of the mandolin orchestra, a sound that the Nashville Mandolin Orchestra recreates on All the Rage, a sound as fresh and new today as it was in its heyday. The late nineteenth century was an exciting time for American music lovers. The invention of the phonograph had brought music into the home, and the increased exposure and competition brought out the best in musicians. John Philip Sousa’s band perfected the sound of the brass band, and the Peerless Quartet took four-part vocal performance to a level of perfection. But these were stylistic accomplishments with familiar, existing sounds—brass instruments and human vocal cords. The sound of the mandolin orchestra carried an extra edge of excitement because most Americans had never even heard a mandolin, much less the sound of mandolin-family instruments played in an orchestral setting. The mandolin alone had a distinct, unique sound. When a mandolinist plucked a single-note run, nothing could match its crispness of attack and delicacy of tone. And when a group of mandolin-family instruments launched into an ensemble tremolo, the listener was bathed in wave after wave of the most beautiful sound imaginable.
