Honky Tonk Merry Go Round PR Mark Pucci Media FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 26, 2010 Contact: Mark Pucci (770) 804-9555 / [email protected] THE LUCKY TOMBLIN BAND GRABS THE BRASS RING ON NEW CD, HONKY TONK MERRY GO ROUND, COMING SEPTEMBER 21 FROM TEXAS WORLD RECORDS AUSTIN, TX – Texas World Records announces a September 21 release date for Honky Tonk Merry Go Round, the new CD from The Lucky Tomblin Band, distributed nationally by Burnside Distribution. On its fourth album, The Lucky Tomblin Band continues to deliver the perfect soundtrack for a Texas Saturday night, as great for listenin’ as it is for dancin’. Led by Lucky’s lead vocals, the band boasts a veritable “who’s who” of Austin’s finest musicians: Earl Poole Ball on piano, Redd Volkaert on lead guitar, Sarah Brown on bass, John Reed on guitar, Jon Hahn on drums and Bobby Arnold on rhythm guitar. Piano man Earl Poole Ball performed for over 20 years as a member of Johnny Cash’s band and played on landmark recordings by The Byrds (Sweetheart of the Rodeo) and Gram Parsons. Telecaster master Redd Volkaert’s guitar work has dropped lots of jaws in the audience and on record, having been a member of Merle Haggard’s band for many years, as well as playing with Ray Price, Dale Watson and a guest appearance on Brad Paisley’s Grammy-winning album. Bassist Sarah Brown was a mainstay of the Antone’s house band and has toured and recorded with a host of blues and roots stars from Dr. John and Marcia Ball to Dave Alvin and Albert Collins. Guitar player John Reed has worked with such Texas greats as Joe Ely, Butch Hancock, and Jimmie Dale Gilmore, as well as the legendary Doug Sahm. Jon Hahn’s drum work has graced albums and stages with Radney Foster, The Flatlanders and Rosie Flores, among others. And while rhythm guitar player Bobby Arnold’s main gig has been as a recording engineer, he’s worked on albums with some of the greatest legends in the business, including Willie Nelson, Ray Charles and Les Paul. While Lucky Tomblin handles the lion’s share of the lead singing on Honky Tonk Merry Go Round, the group is a true band democracy in the vocal department, with Ball, Volkaert, Brown, Reed and Arnold each singing lead vocals on two tracks. Produced by acclaimed Austin producer Lloyd Maines (who also adds his trademark pedal steel guitar throughout) and recorded at Blue Rock Artists Ranch and Studios in Wimberley, Texas, Honky Tonk Merry Go Round contains 14 tracks of pure Texas dancehall music poured straight in a glass chock full with roadhouse energy. In addition to a number of original songs written by various band members, the new CD delves into the honky tonk songbook that includes such noted writers as Mel Tillis (“Wine”), Hank Cochran (“Don’t You Ever Get Tired of Hurting Me”), Floyd Tillman and Jimmy Davis (“It Makes No Difference Now”), Willie Nelson (“I’d Rather You Didn’t Love Me”) and Bill Anderson (“I’ll Go Down Swinging”). The title track was originally recorded by the immortal Patsy Cline. Revered from Paris, Texas to Paris, France, The Lucky Tomblin Band brings the kind of honest, pure honky tonk country music that always makes this group a fan-favorite at clubs, festivals and dancehalls all over the planet. As one reviewer said, “If you like honky tonk swing from Texas -- where it was more or less invented -- a Lucky Tomblin Band record is the solution to your problem… these are friendly, acutely talented people having a hell of a good time.” That good time will be shared by all who listen to Honky Tonk Merry Go Round; and on this ride, EVERYONE gets to grab the brass ring!

    MCA 700 Discography by David Edwards, Mike Callahan & Patrice Eyries © 2018 by Mike Callahan MCA-700 Midline/Reissue Series: By the time the reissue series reached MCA-700, most of the ABC reissues had been accomplished in the MCA 500-600s. MCA decided that when full price albums were converted to midline prices, the albums needed a new number altogether rather than just making the administrative change. In this series, we get reissues of many MCA albums that were only one to three years old, as well as a lot of Decca reissues. Rather than pay the price for new covers and labels, most of these were just stamped with the new numbers in gold ink on the front covers, with the same jackets and labels with the old catalog numbers.

  • “Amarillo by Morning” the Life and Songs of Terry Stafford 1
    In the early months of 1964, on their inaugural tour of North America, the Beatles seemed to be everywhere: appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show, making the front cover of Newsweek, and playing for fanatical crowds at sold out concerts in Washington, D.C. and New York City. On Billboard magazine’s April 4, 1964, Hot 100 2 list, the “Fab Four” held the top five positions. 28 One notch down at Number 6 was “Suspicion,” 29 by a virtually unknown singer from Amarillo, Texas, named Terry Stafford. The following week “Suspicion” – a song that sounded suspiciously like Elvis Presley using an alias – moved up to Number 3, wedged in between the Beatles’ “Twist and Shout” and “She Loves You.”3 The saga of how a Texas boy met the British Invasion head-on, achieving almost overnight success and a Top-10 hit, is one of triumph and “Amarillo By Morning” disappointment, a reminder of the vagaries The Life and Songs of Terry Stafford 1 that are a fact of life when pursuing a career in Joe W. Specht music. It is also the story of Stafford’s continuing development as a gifted songwriter, a fact too often overlooked when assessing his career. Terry Stafford publicity photo circa 1964.

    With a worn but graceful voice, Christopher Denny sings as though he's lived through more than the average 23 year old. His distinctive and strong voice sets him apart from most singer songwriters. NPR Music / Second Stage Christopher Denny has a voice you haven't heard before. He could be the most moving artist to arrive this year. Amazing. Studio City Sun Christopher Denny is a real deal chicken-fried Southern gothic with a voice garnered from either a deal with the Devil or with God. Crawdaddy Age Old Hunger is chock full of country, gospel and blues influences, interlaced with Denny's idiosyncratic vibrato. Billboard Magazine It's rock, it's gospel, it's right now and it's from sometime long ago, all at once. Most of all, it's full of passion and the "age old hunger" that Denny has been moved to sing about. Dusted The North Little Rock, Ark., native's country-folk cadence has earned him the local moniker of the 'kid with the golden voice.' American Songwriter If you guessed Christopher Denny's age and thought you were only half off, you'd still probably overshoot it by a factor of two, because the twentysomething's Jimmie Dale Gilmore warble sounds like he was born in the 1930s. The Austin Chronicle With a style that's reminiscent of '50s rockabilly, of Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and Scotty Moore, the multi-talented songwriter updates the tradition with natural skill and unpredictable choices. Legion Arts The song's ("Westbound Train") Dylanesque cadence and straightforward sentiment, like the rest of Age Old Hunger, sound sincere and even daring.

  • Oe Ely Né Earle R. Ely Le 9 Février 1947 À Amarillo, Au Texas, Est Un Auteur
    Lubbock oe Ely né Earle R. Ely le 9 février 1947 à Amarillo, au Texas, est un auteur-compositeur, chanteur et J guitariste américain de musiques Country, Honky Tonk, Tex-Mex et Rock 'n' Roll. Sa famille travaille pour la compagnie de chemin de fer Rock Island Line, puis déménage pour se rendre à Lubbock au Texas. C’est en voyant Jerry Lee Lewis se produire que Joe, tout jeune, pense à devenir ‘’artiste’’. Il prend quelques leçons de violon et de Steel guitar avant de se tourner vers la guitare. Joe Ely suit une scolarité à partir de 12 ans à Lubbock à ‘’Monterey High School’’. Ses parents tenaient une friperie de vêtements de travail au centre ville de Lubbock où la plupart des travailleurs immigrés venaient se servir dans la boutique, réputée peu chère. Joe côtoie cette frange de la population faite plutôt de Mexicains, qui pour le plaisir, jouent de la musique dans la rue, avec des instruments tels que : accordéon, banjo, saxo, trompette ; peut-être une situation qui provoque chez lui le désir d’apprendre la musique. Joe grandit, apprend à jouer de la guitare électrique et joue du Rock, avec un groupe monté au lycée; avec un répertoire de ‘’Buddy Holly’’ (Artiste de Rock n’ Roll né à Lubbock, décédé à 22 ans, dans un accident). Buddy Holly A 14 ans il perd son père, et sa mère est hospitalisée suite à ce traumatisme. Ce sont des parents proches qui vont s’occuper de Joe et de son frère, hors de Lubbock. Lorsque la famille se retrouve dans cette ville, Joe accepte un travail de plongeur dans un restaurant le ‘’Chicken Box’’ afin d’apporter de l’argent pour aider sa famille.

  • Austin's Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation
    Space, Place, and Protest: Austin’s Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation of Texan Identities, 1968-1978 Travis David Stimeling A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Jocelyn R. Neal, Chair Jon W. Finson David García Mark Katz Philip Vandermeer © 2007 Travis David Stimeling ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT TRAVIS DAVID STIMELING: “Space, Place, and Protest: Austin’s Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation of Texan Identities, 1968-1978” (Under the direction of Jocelyn R. Neal) The progressive country music movement developed in Austin, Texas, during the early 1970s as a community of liberal young musicians and concertgoers with strong interests in Texan country music traditions and contemporary rock music converged on the city. Children of the Cold War and the post-World War II migration to the suburbs, these “cosmic cowboys” sought to get back in touch with their rural roots and to leave behind the socially conservative world their parents had created for them. As a hybrid of country music and rock, progressive country music both encapsulated the contradictions of the cosmic cowboys in song and helped to create a musical sanctuary in which these youths could articulate their difference from mainstream Texan culture. Examining the work of the movement’s singer-songwriters (Michael Murphey, Guy Clark, Gary P. Nunn), western swing revivalists (Asleep at the Wheel, Alvin Crow and the Pleasant Valley Boys), and commercial country singers (Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings), this dissertation explores the proliferation of stock imagery, landscape painting, and Texan stereotypes in progressive country music and their role in the construction of Austin’s difference.

  • Bio Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore
    Dave Alvin & Jimmie Dale Gilmore Downey to Lubbock Biography written by: Joe Nick Patoski Downey, California to Lubbock, Texas is a thousand-mile straight shot across the heart of the American West, with not much in between. The cities at each end of the line are one-time cowtowns that grew into symmetrically-platted working-class communities with very little to interrupt the horizon plane, making for big empty canvasses that require a vivid imagination to fill in all that blank space. Dave Alvin from Downey and Jimmie Dale Gilmore from Lubbock have been filling canvasses with music of the American West for decades, coming from two very different directions. The title track explains Alvin is a Strat-packing, wild blues Blaster, a nod to the roots rock band he formed with his brother Phil in 1978 before Dave peeled off to go his own way in 1986. He’s been part of the bands X, the Knitters, and the Flesh Eaters, tours relentlessly with his own band, the Guilty Ones, and continues apace on musical quests informed by his love of California and its history, and by Texas and the South, where most of the great music that was made in Los Angeles before and after the Second World War came from. Gilmore is the old Flatlander from the Great High Plains, acknowledging his first group, the folk-country trio formed in Lubbock 1972 with Joe Ely and Butch Hancock who continue performing and recording today. In addition to the Flatlanders and an extended solo career, he has been part of several ensembles including the Hub City Movers and The Wronglers with Warren Hellman, who started the Hardly, Strictly Bluegrass Festival in San Francisco.
