Ol Fashioned Country

I'm digging those HWIII vids. Cool tunes and a great band. Gotta go check him out on Amazon.

I guess I'm just old and conservative. I like disk 1 of Straight To Hell.

I thought I was going to like Risin' Outlaw, but it seems like the band wasn't as good on that album.

Love Hank III...I know what you mean tgfmike. some disks I like more than others,mostly a vibe or pacing difference, but his live stuff is always sounding damn fine.
I have to include the woman who got me into country music in the first place...Ladies and gentleman......Mrs. Loretta Lynn!

This is one of my favorite movies...and I though Sissy did a great job on the movie , but especially doing this song...

Those Loretta vids are great tele_s. The older ones are fantastically OFC. And that number with Jack White is just killer. Do they have a genre for that? Country-rock-blues-folk? (Can you tell I liked it?)

Sometimes I find it disgraceful to rank musicians by their hits/looks/and whatnots.
Loretta changed my life back in 62. What a star (I know her light will always shine bright) and if she doesn't want those twins again, I have plenty room here.

Jim and Jesse with the best cover of John Prine's best composition (IMHO of course)

My favorite Roseanne Cash tune, almost forgotten today. This was co-written by Gary P. Nunn (of London Homesick Blues fame).

Now we have to give equal time to her ex. IMHO Rodney's version easily beats Juice Newton's version.

Am I posting to the correct thread? Isn't this the R&B? OK, just had some caffeine so I'm awake now and I forgot to remeber that THIS is the Davis Sisters I was thinking about; but wasn't that a swell Rebel Rouser coming from the heart there? I did a 20 foot backspin, ala Blues Bros when I saw that.

I still listen to my TUBE (yes Tube) Philco late at night from some station in Toronto that plays the best you'll find.

Bucko, that steel playing song just tore me up. I can't understand why folks are turned off to that instrument??? There is a special place in my heaven for all you cats who can play that thang!

Down Yonder is a country instrumental written in 1921. Here's Del Wood's version, which made it to #6 on Billboard in August 1951.

aaaaa I am starting to get freaked with the way this thread has captured so many folks feelings. I just wanted to shine a light on Amber when I made the first post. Thats's all it was; never expecting to even see 1 more reply; But it really has taken on a life of it's own. Thank you friends.

THAT stuff was so good I won't even open my vocal chords.

Ibobunot-Elizabeth Cook sounds like pure Appalachia on Crazy Arms. And that was a good mix on the Brooks and Dunn tune Lerb. Brad sounded positively inspired on that song.

I think you mean with Pat Brady and Nellybelle the Jeep. Andy Devine played the sidekick on Wild Bill Hickok.

Anyhow... have we heard from Dottsy (Dwyer) in this thread? She retired after a few years to live a normal life and only occasionally plays now.

Anyone remember Frankie Miller, the Black Land Farmer? He had a nice career in the 50s and early 60s, later got out of the music business, Now he's back (http://www.frankiemillercountry.com/Home.html), even has a newer CD out.

dtVkKN9ryhU

Now to take this in another direction, here's Frankie recorded at his home in 1978 by Hans Haggstrom, a country fan from Sweden. On his US trip, Haggstrom recorded a number of guys who were largely forgotten by then. Most at their homes. The quality is poor by today's standards but they're unique.

Check out some of the uploads on his channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/hanshaggstrom). James O'Gwynn, Vernon Oxford, Benny Barnes, Wilf Carter, Jack Barlow, Big Bill Lister and more. Also George and Tammy.

Dave, I do believe you, but I have to go to the garage and dig up my 45 of that; I think it was on Dot:lol: or American Paramount. It just does not soundlike what I Rembrandt it?
Fun times here again.... I chose this tune for many reasons.. least of which is the amazing vocals. This is exactly/precisely how a country song should sound.
It has everything going for it; and someday I hope to meet this guy and tell him how much I love this ****.

Beautiful folks everywhere; now maybe we can do this song justice? One it has a male baritone to die for, 2 it has steel guitar played like hell, 3 it has harmony, 4 it has a poignant tale of sad, 5 go figger............. When I finally find a way to host my vids; this will be the first one I do. And Lerb, you youngun take heed here.

well see? I am so born to lose that I already missed Hank3 appearance in Asheville (hmm rhymes with Nashville?)

I was picking through the melody to Lonesome 7-7203 this morning and I just love it. It is so OFC, IMO, and so pretty, with all the little rises where I expected descents. And it's easy to sing, too. So here's a collection.

I'll just say this about that:
I am writing a new blues tune called "It's been 9,ooo Years since I Last got Laid"

If we humans ever leave a footprint on the planet I hope they discover Blind Melon Chitlin. That sums up humanity for me. I used to laugh at old comedy lp's when I was a chitlin ( Shelly Berman. Dick Cosby, and all of 'em, but they always tasted like wet burritos soon;)
That **** from Cheech & Chong deserves to go down is history 4 ever man.

Man, how did I miss this one? So nice.

Paint Me a Birmingham
I have been meaning to place this song on here to just show the young’uns how it’s done. I can’t as of yet because I can’t get the u-tube working right.

This song to me (teent lil piece of trash that he is) is a lesson in country 101. First the opening, That acoustic git, then the fiddle, then that voice that could turn a hetero into a homeboy. The story begins in life’s most hurtful dreams, sittin on a porch and having small time regrets about what life could have been; the dress and swing conjures up memories of Linda Moore~ the most beautiful chick in my homeroom class, and I never even had a shot at her because I wasn’t big or macho enough to be on the sports catalog…………
Well back to 101; that friggin bass is beyond awesome, every instrument is so clear you feel like you are 10 ft from the stage. God Bless Musicans.
wella aright.. since I can't do the vid in the state I'm in ( Belize) I found this on the net. If any of you want to be a country star, then just listen to this ****.

I was checking up online about this man because I heard he was going through some rough times. There is a comment by a utuber on this page that really put some things in perspective ( I won’t post it here because I don’t have permission ) Look if you want to, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Brought back some things I’d rather forget about my xwife. She told me that these “friends” I was following on the www were just figments of my imagination. I told her if that’s true what are all these cassettes that come in the mail everyday? So when the opportunity arose I said OK let’s meet one of these figments in person. She agreed and said now you will see that this person you have been flirting with is really just a man.
It was Rocket J (from the 88’s) and man that was a mistake on my part. I had no clue she was going to be such a looker.DD gorgeous with the most beautiful redhair mane known to mankind. Could play the guitar like no one’s bidness, and I almost got clobbered right there in Applebee’s. Ex took off with the ride and left me there with Joanne and her BF. Needless to say, that was the beginning of the end for our marriage.
Which brings me back on topic..who are your friends?

Great old Merle Haggard tune...never able to find a version of Merle singing it.

While I still think that the following is Traditionalish (you know, Pedal Steel, Fiddle, Waylon Jennings halftime), the main I post this is the sheer amount of AUTOTUNE. I'm hearing a lot of it and just wanna make sure it's not me...

It's no El Paso, but a good song none-the-less.

Can you imagine hearing Western Ballads on a Top 40 Country station today?

:roll:

Although some of this version is mysteriously missing, with the right promotion, this song has EVERYTHING it would need to be a hit today.

0zR-tKVt0VU

Just listen to those words.

Listen to the harmonies.

Listen to James Burton only playing the notes that need to be there.

Byron Berline nails the fiddle.

The PSG! I think that is Al Perkins.

It is just a great recording.

But this is not THE definitive recording of RotGA. This has been messed with. The tag is missing at the end, Gram takes a strange detour with the melody in one place, and JB's solo is cut.

Find yourself the real thing. Put the headphones on. Sit in a dark room and let your mind see the images the words paint.

Some songs may be as good, but none are any better.

That's funny right there. Thanks for posting the Matador. And I totally agree about Return of the Grievous Angel. I knew Gram had hired Elvis' band for that session and they really came through (as did Emmylou).

TGFMike-loved T for Texas...blues and country are equal for me. And Dave W, your Tommy Overstreet cut reminded me of Paul Overstreet.

Paul Overstreet has written or co-written 27 top 10 songs, won 2 Grammys and was the BMI Songwriter of the year for 5 straight years-a music row record. So I thought he deserved a mention. He first came to my attention on Randy Travis' debut, having written On the Other Hand and Diggin' up Bones.

Paul co-wote this #1 with Don Schlitz for Tanya.

And +1 on the Davis sisters and Skeeter Davis. Wonder if they are related?:roll:[/QUOTE]
I'm trying to pickup where I left off (sheeesh, no wonder folks can't go back to page 1).
To answer the obvious: No, the first Sisters are not related to the second. And even the country Davis girls are not related. Betty Jack had the name and friend Skeeter took on the Davis surname.

How about a couple of Freight Train Boogies?

Skeeter Davis, sang one of radio's all-time great heartbreak ballads, "The End of the World."
She also triggered a semi-famous radio minidrama at the Grand Ole Opry in 1973.
A 14-year Opry veteran, Davis was headed to Ryman Auditorium on Dec. 15, 1973, when she saw Nashville police arrest 15 long-haired "Jesus people."
Deeply religious herself, Davis told the Ryman crowd and the Opry's national radio audience that the police had acted wrongly and with unnecessary force.
Since Vietnam War protests were still a point of national contention, and since the rare whiffs of politics on the Opry stage almost never involved criticizing institutions like the police, Davis caused quite the Nashville scandal. She was suspended after the show and didn't return to the Opry for 18 months.

Finally, the Opry quietly admitted it might have overreacted, and she sang about Jesus there for many more years:twisted: Good for you Skeeter ! ~ wiki

Just about as OFC as you can get, IMO, and a lot of fun.

Webb Pierce - I'm Tired


Do y'all know that Webb has STILL not been inducted into CHoF to my knowledge. We need to start a petition to demand they recognize him. This is like Pete Rose !!!

"Despite all of his success, Pierce was never inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame during his lifetime; it's likely that the members never forgave him for his rejection of the Grand Ole Opry and the Nashville industry. Pierce died of pancreatic cancer on February 24, 1991. Just months before his death, he didn't receive enough votes to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Nevertheless, his career stands as one of the most successful in the history of country music." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Now if you were talking about Gram Parsons...you would be correct.

:wink:
Thank you for that correction. As far as Gram goes, I seriously doubt he will ever be elected. Why?
1.He never played the Nashville game
2.He didn't sucker up to DJ's
3.He openly used drugs
4.He hung around with KEITH RICHARDS, and that one is a sure fire disqaualifier

I don't think Gram Parsons will ever be elected because he was never really considered a country artist in his own lifetime.

James O'Gwynn, the Smiling Irishman of Country Music. One of my very favorites, I have almost everything he's done. Not too much from him on YouTube yet, but I should finally have some time soon to put up some of my favorites.

Dave W.-James O'Gwynn has a great voice. Thanks for posting. Thanks for the story on Skeeter StephenX. This is a good day-there's two things I didn't know. Jack.Plugg-nice take on a classic song. So which one is you?

TGFMike-Half as Much is one of my favorites. And so is Window Shopping, even though it's one of the few he didn't write.

ZMO59wtYnqg

Window Shopping was written by Marcel Joseph, a French-Jew who worked as an illustrator at the Journal American. He wrote hundreds of songs but this was his only hit. But it was a good one, and it was boosted by the song on the flip side, Jambalaya. Strong release.

Source:Hank Williams:The Biography (Escort, Merritt, MacEwen, p.214).

Eli, always loved that Hank song! Not many I haven't when I think about it. Kudos on the O'Gwynn music and the link,Dave. TGF you are doing just fine too; all of you are. I'd like to see more posts by some of the newer posters.

Ibob, I need some help. This lady has been posted here before; she's going to be in town next month at a small venue and I'm thinking of going. Question is...I haven't found a single thing by her that moves me, but she is atrociously hot and hard to believe she is 38. Would I be a cad just to go see someone because of their looks? Might she be better in person than she is on record?

...StephenX, I think that you should go, on behalf of the rest of us...and in the interests of research.

...and thanks for the nice comment by the way, about the Hank Cochran song.

"...I haven't found a single thing by her that moves me"

Now that statement is just pure ignorance. I retract that! Man have I ever gotten edumacated on Elizabeth! Just 1 day ago I thought she was no more than some dumb blonde “trying” to do country. This women has depth, style,looks,multi-talents and is a Renaissance Girl. I am now looking forward to her show like an antsy little kid. I may even go to the ones in Roanoke and Staunton. I’ll pass on the Birchmere for reasons I won’t divulge here.

RRf4cZlC_G8

Do these sound like the words out of the mouth of a dumb blonde:
""There are people that want the Prozac country," Cook states. "They want things that are light or things that are cliché in sentiment. It's like if they have any weight, it's cliché weight. It's about how patriotic you are; that you love grandma. It doesn't ring true for me; not true enough. I'm bored with it. And I think it sells a lot of people short. It's a shame they can't sell advertising around music that's a little more poignant."
"On the other hand, maybe that's what some people want when they get in their car to go to the job they don't want to go to. Maybe they just want to hear something easy; something that doesn't move them one way or the other. Just something to block out whatever they don't want to deal with. And that's not my approach to music. That's not what interests me about music. That's not saying one way's wrong or right, it's just different."

Cool Lerb, I have grown to like Hank3. I didn't cut him enough slack at first, even though the same thing happened with his daddy for me. I should have known better.
And I know what a Brad fan you are and I think we got that straight awhile ago. It was this song when I 1st heard of him and said that guy is fabulous! Didn't know what a guitar god he was for awhile after that.
Anyhow, I always heard Bill Anderson wrote this and now I find out differently. Maybe he was the co-writer? But here it is by the author:

I know those strings will turn some folks off, but if I could say I ever wrote 1 song in my life to be eternally proud of, it would be that one. Pure genius.

Done with reverence-I really enjoyed that Jack-thanks for posting. And Elizabeth Cook's cover of the Louvin's Cash on the Barrelhead was good too StephenX.

A favorite Louvin Brothers song of mine is You're Running Wild but the original is not on Youtube. Too bad, because Ira's high harmony coupled with reverb is other-worldly. But here's a great cover by Rhonda Vincent.

Jack, your band is hitting 2 for 2. Good stuff and your Tele playing again is very tasty. Eli, I was just looking for "Girl Haggerd" by Rosie, on youtube and they didn't have it, so I'll have to make that and while I'm at it I'll do your Louvin Bros vid too.

All I can say is that LR's version is the only thing by LR that I can still stomach due to unforeseen circumstances, so that is a testament to me on how good her version is (Roy's notwithstanding). But I would like to know the Karaoke bar where this guy hangs out.

No need to feel humbled. Jack Clement is one of those behind the scenes guys, well known by music scene people in Memphis and Nashville but not well known to the general public.

Here's one he wrote that you may remember.

He has a long association with the Stoneman family, here's one he wrote for them in the late 60s. Note young Roni Stoneman on the left. I think you'll like it.

Here's one from the same era, the Stonemans had a single of it but I guess we'll have to settle for Johnny Cash. :wink:

Don’t pass this hilarious Tillis story told to Ralph Emery. Sound quality is not so good but the incident is priceless. I’ll sum it up because it’s hard to understand. Jist is Mel and pals are awake for 3 days doing blow and partying; Mel has a serious stutter when he talks but not when he sings. So into day 3 he sees a “burglary” in progress and is so excited he cant warn anyone in words so he has to sing what he wants to say. Just funny as hell.

Great posts Dave W. This song reminds me of Darby's Castle from Kristofferson's first album...very similar theme. Here's my favorite from that album-I believe Kris is among the best storytellers ever. Of course he was a Rhodes Scholar with a degree in English Literature.

One night on the PA Turnpike it woke up both my younger brother and myself just as we were about to drive a 1974 AMC Hornet off the road.

That was a close one!

:shock:

I love 'themes', so how about a couple more devil songs?

I think you have posted her before? I really,really like her. Beautiful, mood-filled voice.

I finally found a truly "brilliant comment" on Youtube and thought I would post it here, even though we have been very lucky not to have this thread badgered at all (yet:smile:).

StephenX-just wanna say thanks for this thread. Many's the time i sit down and listen here instead of the radio-better music and i learn something. And thanks for the Mel-that story of Paycheck crawling throught the window was classic. :lol:

Ibobunot-Whispering Sea by Ellen Jewell was freakin' beautiful-great song.

TGFMike-There She Goes by Carl Smith was classic. And you knew that The Devil's Right Hand was a Steve Earl song right?..(a great songwriter who veers into Country sometimes).

castpolymer posted a vid on his Your Friday Moment Of Keef Zen (http://www.tdpri.com/forum/bad-dog-cafe/244015-your-friday-moment-keef-zen.html) thread this week where Keef sings and does a pretty good job, IMO. So I had to go look for 'Keith Richards country song' on youtube and here's what I found.

And you knew that The Devil's Right Hand was a Steve Earl song right?
I don't know hardly nuthin. I just get some idea in my head from one of you guy's post or Pandora and about six youtube searches and 8 listenings later I have something to post here. I'm sure learning a lot, though.

I know we are all learning a lot here. I don't deserve any thanks, it's the wonderful musicians who get the credit. Many of us have at one time or another been in the shoes as a working musician and that is not an easy life, even for the ones who have it "m-m-m-made!" There is only one person posted so far that I actually know is on this forum and that's Redd. So, Redd, Thank You from All of us !


And for the hardest working "student" here, I throw another one out for TGF:

This might be a little off-topic but my intentions were good. I was listening to Patty Loveless do this cut (thinking it was a Jo-el Sonnier song). Cajun is kinda country, right? Well, it was written by a bloody Brit: one Richard Thompson. It's his opening track from the 1983 album Hand of Kindness. What a player...totally unique style.

Dave, Wonderful! Thanks for those. If I'm not mistaken I think The Stonemans are from VA. but I really haven't heard them much....

Don’t pass this hilarious Tillis story told to Ralph Emery. Sound quality is not so good but the incident is priceless. I’ll sum it up because it’s hard to understand. Jist is Mel and pals are awake for 3 days doing blow and partying; Mel has a serious stutter when he talks but not when he sings. So into day 3 he sees a “burglary” in progress and is so excited he cant warn anyone in words so he has to sing what he wants to say. Just funny as hell.

I remember seeing Mel tell that story!

The Stonemans were from Virginia but really made their mark in the DC area.

Jack Clement talks about the Stoneman family. (http://www.cowboyjackclement.com/bio/friends/pop_stoneman.html)

And for the Irish...

_7-PM_4aeE4&feature=related

Sharon Shannon rerecorded this song with an Irish singer named Mundy and it hit #1 in Ireland for 5 weeks-it was the best selling single in Ireland in 2008. That Steve can sure write 'em.

Geeez, you guys were prolific last night! I don't know where to begin.:mrgreen:

Let's start with Pam. She is the victim of fame, I mean I think she would have been much more accepted for the star she is, if it wasn't for the fact she was born into Nashville royalty. Sometimes it doesn't help to have a famous name to establish an artist. I can't speak for everyone, but an occasional off-topic (Thompson,who isn't far OT anyway) is completely acceptable from a poster who has established their credentials. Hell, Eli could even post "Louie,Louie" and I wouldn't bat an eye.:grin: Ahhhhh Sandy Denny. What a tragic end to a most beautiful songstress Ibob.. When I was unloading old vinyl, her 4 lp box set was one I just couldn't part with. She is so precious. Nice history link Dave, and there is that Jack Clement again. Still can't believe I never heard of him as I rank songwriters very high in the musical food chain. I agree Bucko, Dels version of that is the stuff from which legends are made. "Down on the Corner", now that is cooking TG. I see the resemblance too. And finally that mangy old coot who done stole my gal. First time I ever heard the name Steve Earle was (again) back on the old *Prodigy country forum. Must have been around '93-'94, and out of the blue some lady "walks" in amongst the heathen asking us all to pray for Steve Earle. I was like, What??? I'm supposed to pray for someone I never even heard of? And who is this uninvited guest to the hillbilly club? Well, I never found out who it was, but she obviously was very close to Steve. She went on to describe how he was a mess, worst ever from someone who knows worst. Said he was below 100 pounds, indescribably sick and was not expected to live. Too much booze,blues,women and drugs. Well he pulled through and came back better than ever, sometimes it just takes that umpteenth chance the the Lord is gracious with.
Whew, sorry to bore you all.
So I'm guessing that our maker had other plans for Mr Earle and even sent him an angel in the form of Allison. I can not listen to "Soft Place" without getting emotional. I know it was a big hit and overplayed, but no matter how many times I hear that "live" version, I am reduced to putty. And they just had a baby this year; Congrats Steve & Allison.
I thought I was done, but oh well.......
Shelby and Allison are going to be at the Birchmere later this month and I won't miss that show bar hell or high water. They both got legit angst from a life scarring incident that I won't repeat here because it's just overwhelming.
This is OT cause it's more a blues, but I didn't think you'd mind

This is a good place to segue into Pop Stoneman's story (Thanks Dave W. and Mudshark for posting). Ernest Stone had some tough breaks but never gave up. Born into poverty, lost his mom at 3YO, had 23 kids with his wife (13 survived), discovered at the famous Bristol Recording Session by Ralph Peer (along with Jimmy Rodgers and the Carter Family) but lost everything during the Depression...y'all listen to Dave W's post where his daughter talks about Pop holding down 3 jobs. Pop and family slowly worked their way up to a Nashville recording contract in 1965-they received the CMA Vocal group of the year in 1967.

Arthur Godfrey...that takes me waaaay back. Those Champs were really good. Funny how sometimes real musical blessings are right in your backyard and don't even know about it.

TG likes themes, so to continue on that, here is the progeny of June and Carl. I used to truly have the hots for this girl. Such a bubbly person and I'm sure as sweet as honeysuckle.

Not to mention a little blistering Albert Lee !!!!:grin:

" When St Peter asks me to chronicle my time down here on earth, I'll be able to say (with pride if that's allowed) that for a while I played rhythm guitar in a band with Albert Lee." ~ Emmylou Harris

It's a shame Roni Stoneman is better known for the Laverne and Ida Lee Nagger skits on Hee Haw than for her music.

The Bluegrass Champs (http://www.bluegrasschamps.com/) had three to four Stoneman family members over the years, the group basically turned into The Stonemans in the early 60s. Roni had joined by then. But Scotty didn't make the move to Nashville with them. He had severe alcohol problems. He went to California and was briefly in the Kentucky Colonels (the White brothers' band). Died young, supposedly from an overdose of a medicine he was taking for his alcoholism. Great fiddler.

XN7v3g2f2Oc

Have we heard from Mac Wiseman in this thread? He played with Scotty Stoneman (and Jack Clement!) before the Bluegrass Champs. He's still around and playing and still underappreciated.

sI-6F5mqD3Q

Interesting and sad about Scotty. And I'm a fan of early string music so thanks for all the Stoneman info. Being as big of an influence as they were they should be better known.

Dave W, I wanted to share this vid of Uncle Dave Macon. I guess the word charming applies here.

Forgot to mention, if you like Jimmy Martin music, Tribute to the King of Bluegrass (f=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1289085518&sr=8-1) from a few years ago is an excellent album.

If that is indeed from 1937 (and I have no reason to suspect it isn't) those two D-18s are almost brand new...and most likely have 1 3/4 " necks.

I wonder where they are today! :smile:

Written by Pee Wee King and Redd Stewart, the same fellows that wrote Tennessee Waltz. There are other versions...most notably by Patsy Cline.

Well. My love for female vocalists extends across all styles and epochs (maybe a few I don't appreciate:smile:) I don't think I ever saw a pic of Jo Stafford before. Thank you for clearing up my mental image of her:She will no longer look like Ethel Merman in my mind. And I love Dean Martin (but pls; no Sinatra pls.)
