Better Live?
How come some acts, usually the Alt Country, Bluegrass, etc, etc, sound so much better live than they do on disc, and others, Big name rock, Country, etc sound so much better on disc than they do live. With zero experience in the studio, Is it that difficult to capture the spirit or energy of a live gig? Does recording it live, (vice a live recording in a club) with all the musicians in the same room make a big difference as toward groove? How about a live recording at a Venue? That IIIrd Time Out Live at the MAC or the Flatt and Scruggs Live at Carnegie are two discs that really capture the excitement of a live show. Is it really difficult to capture that vibe on tape? One of the differences I think, lies in budget. When you can spend an hour trying to get one lick from a rhythm guitar just right on one bar on one song, and you cut that lick 12 times until the producer is satisfied, that seems to me to make for a sonically perfect and emotionally dead record. Just sucks the life right out. This Waco thing brought it up. Everyone is gushing about their live show at SXSW and saying how great they are live. Their recorded efforts don't do anything for me. The same is true of the Sovines. Their cassette, Owner Operator was okay, But their live show kicks ass. Same deal with Mike Ireland, and a bunch other folks we discuss. Do the artists even make money on recordings anymore? Or is the gig the good money and the records sold at the record table just the gravy? How do most of you folks afford to tour? You ain't making shit off the record table and you're playing for the door. Do you tour until your broke and then go make enough money at Burger King until you can afford to tour again? One of you folks cough up and give us a breakdown of a tour. Money, food, beer, dope, sleeping arrangements, gas, vehicles, etc etc. That's enough questions for now.

Re: boot me baby, but don't sell it
But Joe, weren't you exposing your art to the public in that show that my hypothetical buddy recorded? Last fall, Richard Thompson toured and played a number of new songs that will presumably be coming up on this spring's new album. He was very much against these shows being taped, because he wanted the songs "to be new to everyone" when the album appears. Okay, so playing those songs to maybe 10,000 people on the tour is somehow going to keep the music "new," but having 200 or so fanatics hear them via the tapes will not? Maybe I'm just a simpleton, but if Thompson didn't want people to hear those songs until the album came out, then what was he doing playing them in public performance? -- rest snipped There was a similar thread last year on the Bob Mould list. He was playing out new songs which would them be part of his _Last Dog and Pony Show_ release. His reasoning against taping these shows (he has always been pro-taping of his shows), was that with the new songs, he hadn't even recorded them yet. They really are part of his own intellectual propery. What if some local band hears a tape of an unreleased song and then records it? Now it is no longer his song, but this bands' song. I understand this line of reasoning, and agree completely with it. But also, I try to tape a lot of shows myself for my own personal enjoyment after the fact, and in case anything magical happens at the show I want preserverd, like Alejandro singing "Excuse Me..." with Whiskeytown at the Electric Lounge (RIP). I'm sure this didn't happen at every stop of the tour, and I felt special about hearing it, and can hear it right now.

With zero experience in the studio, Is it that difficult to capture the spirit or energy of a live gig? my completely non-technical take on this is that with some bands, the energy in the room created by the connection between the performer/s and the audience is almost visual, and seems to tangibly affect a large number of the folks who are there. And it's not just a recipe involving drink and rowdyness, like what seems to work so well with a live Wacos show, because I've been the most affected by a live show at some incredibly quiet and sober performances, like Alejandro. Of course, I like Alejandro's CDs just fine, recorded live or in the studio, but I know you and others aren't sure what the hype is from just listening to the recorded stuff. And heck, I was sober for that Saturday Wacos show in Austin and still had a hell of a good time. There is just no way a studio recording can impart that connection. Not all of my favorite bands have that energy live - there are definately some performers that are a waste of time and money to go see live, yet their records kick my ass. And bluegrass music often has that extra ingredient to the live shows of watching the fingers fly and intricate dance of the band working together...how could just an audio recording present that up to the listener? bringing up the fact that a lot of current recording artists need the extra boost given to their talent by technology in the studio is too obvious of an argument to make, let alone one that I would want to have to defend some of the more public alt-country bands against g... meshel n'vegas
Re: Okeh Wranglers
Ok now that I can see straight g, here's what I saw last night. The Wranglers opened for the Damnations at the Continental and completely won over a pretty tough crowd. If I had to draw comparisons, I'd say they were the UK's answer to the Damnations, with a little bit of rockabilly and honkytonk thrown in. The sisterly harmonies were great, the band was tight and at times, masterful, (the steel player, no matter how old she is g, had some of the guitar geeks up front watching her every move - and I pretty sure they were watching her playing g) the song selection, all though maybe a bit on the kitsch (sp?) side was remarkably varied and the arrangements fairly original. They played much longer than they expected (I counted two long encores, but perhaps they weren't use to the openers at the Continental getting a an hour to play. For those of you in Austin, they're playing at La Zona Rosa next thursday night and I think I talked them into getting up early on Friday for an appearance on the radio. Catch 'em while you can.

Re: Touring/Live
Do you tour until your broke and then go make enough money at Burger King until you can afford to tour again? Damn it, that was a trade secret One of you folks cough up and give us a breakdown of a tour. Money, I try to get a guarantee, usually don't. Usually get the door. When I have a guarantee in writing, someone usually tries to still pay me in whiskey food, fast, sometimes if the club is a restraunt, they will feed us. This is why bookstores are so cool, always good food beer, If we are lucky, but I dought it. Usually if they give us beer, then we can plan on being stiffed on the dough dope, Sometimes we get lucky g Pot and/or whiskey mess with my guitar playing. Makes it even worse. Just can't do that to an audience. If I end up sucking, it is from natural causes. I don't think drummers should ever drink during or before gigs. They totaly suck when they do and tend to drool alot. But all's fair after the show, long as no one get's caught. By the way, some of the best reefer the band ever had was at a military camp gig in Korea. sleeping arrangements, One can hope. Big cars are nice. Once I slept in a dentist chair that was in the "house" provided for us. My guitar player slept on the couch next to me, then moved out to the car because he started itching. We were doing a duet thing, and the bedrooms in the cabin they provided for us were dirty, and each had a can of lice spray on the headboard. gas, see fast food above vehicles, I don't take my car on very long trips, because of how old it is. Rentals, or bandmates or boyfriend. Now all of this is my experience in the United States. I really like touring overseas. Nice big van or bus provided by booker, good guarantee on money, dinner at the club each night, most of the gear provided. One could easily get spoiled. Nancy

Re: boot me baby, but don't sell it
There was a similar thread last year on the Bob Mould list. He was playing out new songs which would them be part of his _Last Dog and Pony Show_ release. His reasoning against taping these shows (he has always been pro-taping of his shows), was that with the new songs, he hadn't even recorded them yet. This is an interesting turnaround for Bob, who encouraged taping of the acoustic shows during which he worked the kinks out of songs which were to appear on Sugar's _FUEL_. I have hours and hours of recorded shows from that tour and it seemed as though he was covering himself by explaining the song in detaila nd explaining how each would sound on the album. He spoke very intentionally regarding this before he played almost every song. He liked to hear the tapes that fans made and even included one on CD in Sugar's _Besides_ collection. If I remember correctly from when I was on Bob Mould's listserv, he put out a call to fans who had recit show because he felt that he and the band had nailed the song "Explode and Makeup" and he wanted to make it available because he swore he'd never do it live again because it had been done.

Hancock's famous Lubbock Cotton Club, opened in the mid - '50s, in the mid-60s hosted many young local musicians, including Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely, and Jesse Taylor, who began coming to the club. Eventually Hancock would sell the club to Ely. Hancock's records feature some of the Austin area's finest musicians, the late Jimmy Day, Alvin Crow, Eric Hokkanen, Mark Rubin, John Reed, Tomas Ramirez, the late Keith Ferguson, David Heath, Jesse Taylor, Ponty Bone, as well as his wife Charlene and 5 of their children. Hancock's 4 currently available albums, according to John Conquest (Music City Texas, #88 December 1996), "may well be the last gasp of the Texas country underground, that bizarre meeting ground of hippie dopers and shtitkicking cowboys that, more than anyone, Hancock personifies." Also featured a set of music from one of Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame's newest inductees, Bob Wills, who was enschrined 3/15 in the "Early Influence" category. Played a couple of tunes in honor of Janis Martin's birthday (3/27/40).

Re: Clip-Wacos Saturday night
My younger bro writes: At a time when alt.country bands increasingly lean toward tepid vocals, languid playing, and gentle singer-songwriterish sentiments Oh, for fuck's sake, they do not. The reviewer's line above (though not Dave's) should probably be added to the list of rules for rock critics writing about alt-country: discuss all alt-country bands as though they were a) identical to one another and b) mopey and/or wimpy. It's hard to even imagine who he's referring to here. Certainly not *any* of the bands I saw at SXSW, some of whom were more alt and some of whom were more country, but none of whom exhibited any remotely languid, tepid, or even gentle tendencies. And unquestionably not any of the other bands on the Bloodshot roster. Sheesh. --Amy
RE: The F Word
Amy says: I would like Freakwater okay (not a lot; to me, their stuff seems watered down rather than enhanced by its rock influences, unlike some alt-country) if it weren't for Catherine Irwin's indescribably lousy voice. and I'm inclined to agree; I spent some time once listening to Eleventh Dream Day recordings, and it was clear to me that Janet Beveridge Bean can and does sing in tune, which by process of elimination leaves Irwin's singing as the biggest part of the problem, by itself and/or as a baleful influence on Bean. Either way, their covers tend to be so inept as to be, to me, positively offensive; I can't think of a crummy, drunk, play-for-free bluegrass band that couldn't do a better job on "Put My Little Shoes Away."

RE: The F Word
Oh, what the hell; here we go again... I don't even get how people can NOT notice Ms. irwin's "slight" note-finding problem live--on disc it's a different story, seems to me..and I say this as someone who's always liked their "Old Paint" CD and still do--only now I'm aware of the 4800 takes it must surely have demanded till they arrived at ones with the notes pretty much hit! As I added on-list after that show Mrs. Haugesag just mentioned...some of my best-loved acts are not especially known for PRECISION and natural or trained VOCAL CLARITY , so I'm far from a stickler in this regard (The Sticklers are, of course, a highly practiced bluegrass family band from, uh, Northern Kentucky g)! What's more off-putting about Freakwater live (and this is not as noticeable on disc either, so maybe it's stagefright or something that overtakes the act) is that the singing was emotionally imprecise and unknowing Same said Ms. irwin holds notes and breaths when the meanings says clip...roars exactly when she orta shut tight, breaksoff and searches for some version of a "harmony" at moments more randomized than demanded by the lyric, etc etc etc c...so I have to figure she doesn't quite know what she's singing ABOUT. That's my definition of Bad Singing--bad performing of any sort really--and doing those same things right, maybe even especially if done unexpectedly right in many inventive ways, is a big part of why I can call a Bob Dylan, for instance, a great singer, or Steve Earle a damned good one-- with no irony intended AT ALL. For the record, I do think Jon W's always been RIGHT in pointing out around here that doing all of the technical thinks precisely does NOT automatically mean you've gone deadly, romantically challenged or mechanical either. Clarity and precision can be perfectly useful tools--but the highest point of their use too is still to deliver something soulful. Some artists arrive at that highpoint by slightly different means, from slightly different traditions. Rock and roll, bothering from strains in RB, and being, as Dave Alvin always says, a loud folk music itself, tends to be forgiving about precision. But that's no cover for the truly singing-challenged. Barry M.

Hey there, The Sadies may very well be the third best live band on the planet. (The Brox and The Vroys, thanks for asking).

RE: The F Word
Barry: I don't even get how people can NOT notice Ms. irwin's "slight" note-finding problem live--on disc it's a different story, seems to me..and I say this as someone who's always liked their "Old Paint" CD and still do--only now I'm aware of the 4800 takes it must surely have demanded till they arrived at ones with the notes pretty much hit! aha! I can't believe no one has ever realized it before, but now I know what the problem is...when Barry and Amy caught Freakwater that night, Ms. Irvin must have just been having a bad night! because I've seen em a number of times, and they've always sounded terrific, and their CDs are great, even Barry likes em that way. So it's not that we all disagree, but that fated night in New York for you two musta been a night when for some reason, like throat polyps (benign) or smog or maybe some bad oysters on the half shell from her dinner at an out of the way Jersey cafe caused a bad, off-key night. you guys should catch them again, and you'll see what I mean. meshel n'vegas Amy: The only time I saw them live--at a Mercury Lounge show that Barry Mazor and I dragged ourselves to in the interests of giving Freakwater a fair hearing
Re: Ranchera?
http://www.mariachi.org has a number of fine links to many Mexican music sites. Vincente Fernandez, Juan Gabriel, Lola Beltran and Lydia Mendoza are among the names that pop up frequently while searching the net for "musica ranchera". Also check out http://www.elmariachi.com for some further exploration. I would agree that Arhoolie (http://www.arhoolie.com) has the finest selection of Mexican music for non-Mexicans, particularly when it comes to historic recordings. Their budget priced CD series has a particularly good compilation of Mexican music that's well worth picking up.

Apartment #9
Need a little help with some research here, please. I'd thought that Tammy Wynette's debut single, Apartment #9, was written by Johnny Paycheck and Billy Austin. Yet I recently saw it credited to Fuzzy Owen and Fern Foley, and to Owen/Foley/Paycheck. Anyone know what gives here? I just want to get it right for something I'm working on. Thanking the collective wisdom in advance. M. Moore
Re: Apartment #9
According to the CD Paycheck, the Little Darlin Years, the song was written by Paycheck and Austin. If you get no further I'll check my Billboard CD Rom after I finish dinner.

Paycheck-F. Foley-C. Owen, but BMI's searchable database at http://bmi.com/home_rep.html lists it as Paycheck and Bobby (not Billy) Austin, so that's probably a safer bet. Trying to track down some of this stuff will give you fits, even when it's relatively recent (like "Apartment Number Nine") and it seems like it ought to be cut and dried.

RE: Better Live?
I think it's hard to come up with general rules here. The studio can be a pretty dead place, but there have been some mighty fine, spirited, *exciting* studio albums made. Recording with minimal overdubbing can sometimes result in a livelier album, but on the other hand, the Lonesome River Band's Carrying The Tradition is plenty lively and soulful, and it is almost all overdubs; hardly any of the original rhythm tracks made it into the final product. One of the differences I think, lies in budget. When you can spend an hour trying to get one lick from a rhythm guitar just right on one bar on one song, and you cut that lick 12 times until the producer is satisfied, that seems to me to make for a sonically perfect and emotionally dead record. Just sucks the life right out. See above. Besides, while this sounds good, and may be the modus operandi in some circumstances, Nashville studios rarely spend an hour trying to get one lick from anybody, never mind the rhythm guitarist; the guys who do most of the work there don't *need* an hour to get a lick right, which is why they're in such demand. A lot more of that stuff than you'd think is cut in pretty short order, which is how they're able to work multiple sessions in a day. Do the artists even make money on recordings anymore? Or is the gig the good money and the records sold at the record table just the gravy? Dunno much about outside of bluegrass, but record table money in bluegrass is a lot more than gravy; it can be half the take or more. Big bluegrass acts can do $1200 and up at the table.

RE: Steve 'n' Del
Mr. W. That's the difference between the native state of Earl Scruggs, a locale smart enough to have an interest in bluegrass, and a cold, faraway, rock'n'rollin' kind of place that can barely support Special Consensus (though they've got some great polka). Is this the same Jon Weisberger who wrote a letter to The Reader explaining and complimenting Chicago's place in the history of country music? Yeah, it was.

Re: Better Live?
Jeff Wall wrote: How come some acts, usually the Alt Country, Bluegrass, etc, etc, sound so much better live than they do on disc, and others, Big name rock, Country, etc sound so much better on disc than they do live. If it is a relatively unknown act live, you tend to overlook slop. On record, slop is disturbing unless it is part of the act. Live, you get this big undifferentiated sound in which almost anything can be put across if enough energy goes into it. A record is a much smaller sound (unless you have a massive system cranked, and even then the dynamic range of a record is about half that of the human ear) and the instruments are separated from each other sonically, more distinct. Bad stuff is more apparent. Bad singing is less forgiveable. Bad playing grates. In person, you may be sucked into the magic of live music (literally) but a record requires you to focus, pay attention, and you hear everything. Big name acts may sound better on CD because they actually cram more energy into their recordings than they muster onstage. Also I think when you go to see a big name act, you already have this expectation based on how great the record sounded, and no live band can ever sound as "good" as a well-produced hit record. Live mixes are not usually as good as studio mixes. think of the stones- their live shows usually more or less sucked compared to the best of their records. Is it that difficult to capture the spirit or energy of a live gig? I think it is extremely difficult, one of the hardest things to try to do. Really, making a record is in a way a "trick" in the same way that making a film is a "trick"- you are going all around the block in order to arrive at something that sounds and feels real, but never was except for the moment of transcription itself. The whole is an assembly of parts, and it is the producer's and engineer's job to be expert enough to fool your ear into believing it is real. It almost never is. I happen to love live studio recording- the kind where the band assembles in the studio and plays the song together, like all the greatest country songs were cut, and all 50s and 60s rock was cut (up to about 67), but even then if you walked into the studio during the session it would not sound like a band in there, only in the control room monitors does the final magic take place. Do the artists even make money on recordings anymore? Most artists at most levels use the whole recording budget to make the record, but if they are lucky they also pay themselves during the process, so they at least don't lose money. Traditionally, the money is in touring once you reach the $5,000-$10,000 and above level. You only make money on record sales if you have massive hits. Touring at the $500-$1000 a night level is not very much fun unless you are in your twenties, single-ish, and ready for anything. On the other hand, this is why I am 48 and look 84. -- Joe Gracey President-For-Life, Jackalope Records http://www.kimmierhodes.com

We toured Europe for years and had great times. I hasten to add that the good guys here do go out of their way to provide whatever they can, but the norm in Europe is better to start with, so it is a pleasant suprise to Americans who go there.

Richard Buckner/Sebadoh in Dallas last night
Okay as you can tell, we opted for the Buckner show because a.) he's not local so who knows when he'll be back, and b.) Slobberbone was in Denton and nobody knew how to get there... Buckner came on right when we got to the club. He was really unpretentious and nice, bringing his own equipment onstage and everything. If he needs a roadie, I'd gladly quit school right now and work for free. Why the hell not. Anyway, the whole set was just Richard and Penny sitting up there...it was all electric. The drums were a different touch, but it was very cool. He played all of the more rockin' songs from "Devotion and Doubt" and "Since"...nothing from "Bloomed". There were a few that I didn't even recognize, but I think it's just cause he kind of mumbles and the sound system was sucking. But it was definitely as good as I thought it would be...The "D D" songs..."figure", "4 a.m.", etc. came across really well electric. It was beautiful...I saw Richard walking around the club later and wanted to go talk to him, but chickened out... Sebadoh...I was suprised at how much I liked them, considering that I've never been a big fan and didn't own any albums. For a 3-piece band, they were AMAZINGLY impressive. There was a center of power coming out of their music that totally transcended the crappy venue and crappy fans...I think it blew everyone away. Lou was in a happy mood, tearing up the stage...He said that this was the first night in months or something that he'd broken any guitar strings. I'd definitely go see them again. Andre, I totally agree with you about Deep Ellum Live. What a horrible place. I really hope I never have to go back there again. The staff were total assholes, the crowd sucked, the sound system kept falling apart. Nothing about that place deserved a show as cool as it got last night. Anyway, that's it. Thanks for all the recommendations... love, Dancer (Amanda)

In spite of the often weirdly lame commercial cuts coming out of Nashville these days, it is not the pickers' fault. Them boys are hot shit, and having a roomfull of those guys is like getting into a Porsche and stepping on the gas- it goes as fast as you ask it to, and quickly too. We have a group of them that we have learned to know and love through demo sessions and we brought them down to Willie's studio here by our house to do a Kimmie record, and it was pure joy.
