HEY GUYS

There’re innumerable groups that sought to change whatever genre it was working in during the ‘60s. Most notably, in the States at least, were the changes in rock and jazz music. But just a major a spate of changes were about to befall the Americana set. Everything from folk to bluegrass and country were soon going to be augmented by a few trailblazers in each genre.

The New Grass Revival as well as the various northern acts re-working bluegrass wound up impacting the genre. But just as important – and maybe even more so because of the ensemble’s inclusion of Clarence White – was the Kentucky Colonels. Read more

Being a part of a family with tremendously deep musical talent occasionally relegates a performer to second tier status. That was the case with Larry Rice, who while a first rate mandolin player, never achieved the same kind of name recognition as his brother, the guitarist Tony Rice. Read more

The figures of early Hollywood were stars in a completely different way then we might understand them today. So, instead of becoming infamous, folks gained notoriety for being talented in one way or another. Certainly, there was scandal. There always has been, but due to the quickness – or lack thereof – with which information then travelled, stars and starlets were safe.

Amongst the crop of famous folks in Hollywood during the ‘30s were a spate of singing cowboys. Easily the most famous, though, was Gene Autry.

Expending effort to craft and disseminate a work, even from the earliest portions of the twentieth century very quickly made folks want to earn a dime. And obviously even before that there was minstrelsy and Vaudeville. Those latter two, though, just didn’t have 78s to hock, so too bad for the coffers.

Either way, there were disparate markets to reach – namely white and black. Only the most savvy song writers and business men were able to reach both. Will Shade was one of those guys. Read more

For normal people, it seems odd for folks to believe that a career in music is anything other than a pipe dream. Even the most talented have a ridiculous journey to complete before being able to call themselves a musician and have it actually be appropriate. There’s surely someone right now, in some coffee shop, bookstore or bar figuring aloud that he’s a musician in order to impress whatever beautiful clerk is ringing up a purchase. It’s not a bad move, just completely disingenuous. That’s how life goes, but at least Rocky Bill Ford didn’t over compensate for his job as a barber in Texas. Read more
