  • “The Stories Behind the Songs”
    “The Stories Behind The Songs” John Henderson The Stories Behind The Songs A compilation of “inside stories” behind classic country hits and the artists associated with them John Debbie & John By John Henderson (Arrangement by Debbie Henderson) A fascinating and entertaining look at the life and recording efforts of some of country music’s most talented singers and songwriters 1 Author’s Note My background in country music started before I even reached grade school. I was four years old when my uncle, Jack Henderson, the program director of 50,000 watt KCUL-AM in Fort Worth/Dallas, came to visit my family in 1959. He brought me around one hundred and fifty 45 RPM records from his station (duplicate copies that they no longer needed) and a small record player that played only 45s (not albums). I played those records day and night, completely wore them out. From that point, I wanted to be a disc jockey. But instead of going for the usual “comedic” approach most DJs took, I tried to be more informative by dropping in tidbits of a song’s background, something that always fascinated me. Originally with my “Classic Country Music Stories” site on Facebook (which is still going strong), and now with this book, I can tell the whole story, something that time restraints on radio wouldn’t allow. I began deejaying as a career at the age of sixteen in 1971, most notably at Nashville’s WENO-AM and WKDA- AM, Lakeland, Florida’s WPCV-FM (past winner of the “Radio Station of the Year” award from the Country Music Association), and Springfield, Missouri’s KTTS AM & FM and KWTO-AM, but with syndication and automation which overwhelmed radio some twenty-five years ago, my final DJ position ended in 1992.

  • The Wilburn Brothers Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Wilburn: “Trouble’S Back in Town.” by Warren Zanes
    TRACK TWENTY-ONE The Wilburn Brothers Thirteen ways of looking at a Wilburn: “Trouble’s Back in Town.” by Warren Zanes 1) THEY WERE JUST CHILDREN, out on the road playing shows, their father acting as manager, driver, and accountant, when coun- try star Roy Acuff heard them sing. It was a set-up. The manager/driver/accountant father, eager to advance his family’s predicament in one of the few ways a poor Arkansas family could, had arranged for his singing children to be waiting outside the back- stage door, ready to do an ambush “audition” as Acuff left the venue. When they saw the star emerge, they broke into “Farther Along.” And it was like the whole town went quiet when they started to sing. Acuff stopped, put his guitar case down. Those voices took him somewhere. As Acuff would later remark, there’s nothing like young singers hitting the high notes, not knowing better than to share a little unguarded emotion. 2) “Pop Wilburn started them at home. Believe it or not, he built a stage in the backyard. They’d play for the neighbors…. It was the Depression. He wanted a better life for them than he had had for himself.” —Arvemia Wilburn (wife of Leslie Wilburn, Doyle’s and Teddy’s brother) 3) Acuff’s introduction secured the Wilburn Family a spot on the Grand Ole Opry. A mere six months later, it was in the name of child-labor laws that they were escorted off that hallowed stage. A tough bunch worked the child-labor beat, dogging the halls of enter- tainment with morality on their side.

Country performers Hawkshaw Hawkins and Cowboy Copas died with her, as did her manager, Randy Hughes. Hughes was piloting all of them in his Piper Comanche home from a benefit concert in Kansas City, Kansas for Jack Wesley Call, aka “Cactus Jack”, one of Country’s well-known Midwestern DJs, who had died in a car crash a month earlier. Also performing in the show were George Jones, George Riddle and The Jones Boys, Billy Walker, Dottie West, Wilma Lee and Stoney Cooper, George McCormick, and the Clinch Mountain.

It features 11 of Elvis’s greatest hits: “If I Can Dream”, “Way Down”, “Little Sister”, “Stuck on You”, “It’s Now or Never”, “Mystery Train”, “Are You Lonesome Tonight”, “Blue Suede Shoes”, “I Just Can’t Help Believing”, “Fever” and “Devil in Disguise”, re-interpreted by Sam’s Fever. The arrangements have a contemporary flavour, combining Latin, funk and jazz rhythms and a bit of soul. What is particularly interesting about this album is that it was not fully recorded in the studio. It contains 2 live tracks from our concert in Križanke, Ljubljana, while the song “If I Can Dream” was recorded at our show in Germany, and features Grammy- and Oscar-winning actress Darlene Love, who collaborated with Elvis in 1968, on vocals, and James Burton, Elvis’s lead guitarist from 1969 until his death in 1977, on guitar. Fever The title of this album, as well as the name of our band, was inspired by Elvis’s hit single “Fever”, originally written by Eddie Cooley and Otis Blackwell under the pseudonym John Davenport. The song was first recorded in April 1956 by R&B singer Little Willie John, who featured it on his debut album, also entitled Fever. The song made it to No. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, was well received by both music critics and the masses, and was listed on several top music charts.
