Gotta great story about that, heard from someone I know that
was signed to Capital at the time, but isn't anymore. Names have been
changed to protect their parents...
"Mr. X" told me that the guy Garth maneuvered into
Jimmy Bowen's place knew absolutely ZERO about music. There was a
marketing meeting at Capital that the New Guy sat in on. They were
discussing a project where they took old Patsy Cline recordings & paired up
current country singers to "duet" with her, like Hank Jr's "Tear
In My Beer". They were having some trouble with one of the artists
being able to clear his or her schedule in time to make the recording date,
& the New Guy reportedly said, "well why doesn't someone call Patsy
& ask her to intervene?".
