Finally we played a set of Deke Dickerson and the Ecco-Fonics, who played at the Intersection in Grand Rapids on Thursday, March 25.

Re: Seredipity (was Hadacol)
Hadacol is a Kansas City quartet named after the alcohol-laden 24-proof "patent medicine" that sponsored Hank * Williams's radio show in the 1940s the production by fellow Missourian Lou Whitney of the Skeletons. Reading this post and listening to twancast radio and whaddyaknow? On comes Hadacol, whose disc I picked up last week mostly because of the aforementioned Mr Whitney's involvement. Not bad, not bad.

Re: Apartment # 9
Jon says: BMI's searchable database Then Joe says: look it up in the BMI website. Sheesh, I shoulda thought of that. Proves to be a treasure trove, killed 45 minutes there just goofing off. Then Jon says: lists it as Paycheck and Bobby (not Billy) Austin Doh! Of course it's Bobby, I musta been thinking of a Steve Earle song. Thanks to both you gents for the advice (and Mike too for the effort). For my purposes I'll go with BMI and Austin/Paycheck. I noticed that BMI lists Owen Publications of Bakersfield as the publisher, which may explain how Fuzzy gets attached to the song in some citations, but their database has no listing for a Fern Foley.

Re: Waco Brothers
Anyone who writes this: the Kentucky hills of Hank Williams. doesn't have much credibility when they write this: ...the crop of bimbos and bimbettes being churned out by Nashville... If this isn't an object lesson in the trendiness of dissing mainstream country music, I don't know what is. That's Jon commenting on some joker's kneejerk comments about Nashville. Aside from raising questions about gender (is 'bimbo' masculine, or reflective of size?), those sort of comments don't in and of themselves nullify all the justifiable criticism of mainstream country music. But as usual Jon effectively points out the emptiness of much of the reflexive complaints about HNC. Lord knows, there's enought to complain about, that's easily justified, without resorting to catch-all, gratuitous insults of the "bimbette" variety. If there's three things I've learned since being on this list -- or, am still learning -- it's: don't presume consensus on suckage, with regard to a particular musical act or genre; don't pronounce suckage of the same without trotting out some valid reasons; and, finally, don't confuse differences in taste with actual justifiable criticism. The last thing has been the toughest for me -- figuring out when my dislike of some performer or musical trend is just a matter of personal taste, or, on the other hand, some flaw in the music. The reflex to say so and so "sucks" is always so much more tempting than settling for saying, "that's not my cup of tea." -- Terry Smith

Terry Smith says: ...those sort of comments don't in and of themselves nullify all the justifiable criticism of mainstream country music Lord knows, there's enought to complain about, that's easily justified, without resorting to catch-all, gratuitous insults of the "bimbette" variety. Well, yes on both counts, but my precise point, really, was that someone so ignorant of country music that he could write "the Kentucky hills of Hank Williams" isn't someone in a position to offer much in the way of justified criticism, which after all, relies on knowledge of the subject at hand.

Clip: More G*rthball
Brooks' impact comes off field The Arizona Republic March 28, 1999 In the world of music, he has recorded a bunch of hit singles. In spring training, he has a single hit. One hit in 16 at-bats. As the Padres slung travel bags over their shoulders and filed out of the small visitors clubhouse -- "Ten-minute bus!" coach Davey Lopes announced -- Garth Brooks lingered, lost in thought, staring at a wall. Brooks pondered his latest missed opportunity in his one trip to the plate, an eighth-inning pinch-hit appearance against the Angels. He was angry with himself. Instead of taking a strike, as planned, he had jumped at left-hander Mike Magnante's first offering. "A stupid thing," he said. At that moment, it didn't matter to him that he is the highest-selling solo artist in U.S. music history or that hundreds of baseball fans, many of whom listen to and buy his music, were waiting for him, as they are after every game. Brooks earned $54 million last year. But he can't buy a base hit. When Chris Pritchett caught Brooks' weak pop foul, fans playfully booed the Angels first baseman for sending the most popular .063 hitter in baseball back to the dugout unfulfilled. "Very frustrating," Brooks said. "I hate sucking." He isn't trying to kid anyone. The 37-year-old singer hasn't played baseball seriously since high school. He didn't expect to pick up a bat as if it were a guitar and began terrorizing big league pitching. Brooks joined the Padres spring training camp as a non-roster invitee. The team made a donation to the Touch 'Em All Foundation, a collaboration among major league players, entertainers and corporate partners that contributes money to children's charities nationally and in San Diego. Brooks is a realist. When a cheery TV reporter asked Garth how he will feel when spring training ends and Brooks is informed he made the opening day roster and is a full-fledged Padre, the entertainer offered a reply as ridiculous as the question. "And they'll also tell me we have world peace and we're out of debt as a country." It's too late in life for him. Brooks knows that. Alone in the clubhouse, I asked what he would like the Padres to tell him when spring training ends. "What would I like to hear?" he asked. After a thoughtful pause, he said, wishfully, "I would love to be told that if I had invested the last 17 years playing the game, I would be playing major league baseball." This is the closest chance he will have. So he took it, ignoring critics and cynics and fighting down his fears. "I'm scared to death of embarrassment and failure," Brooks said. But he made a commitment. He would try. "If you don't, you might as well stay in the house all day. . . . You're the only one who can see your dreams." What he has seen during his "minute a day," as he calls his cameo roles at the plate, are fastballs and curves. Although he has struck out only once, Brooks sometimes must feel like former big league catcher Bob Uecker during his playing days. A career .200 hitter, Uecker jokes that the manager would turn to him on the bench and bark, "Uecker, grab a bat and put out that rally!" Brooks is disappointed in himself. From the day spring training began, he has said he doesn't want to embarrass the Padres and baseball. He doesn't have to worry. Can he hit? No. But not every contribution a person makes appears in the morning box score. Those columns of gray type don't record the hours Brooks has spent after every game patiently shaking hands, posing for pictures, signing his signature until his hand begins to cramp. "Hi, what's your name?" "Chris," the fan said. "C-h-r-i-s?" Brooks asked. Before autographing each ball, he checks the spelling. They call out to him. Reach for him. Offer him gifts. One woman presented Brooks with a jar of pickled vegetables she had picked from her garden. "Let's see your arm," Brooks said, singling out a wide-eyed little girl. The child tossed the ball from the stands. Brooks caught it, wrote her name and tossed it back. When Brooks noticed a TV cameraman shooting the autograph scene, he asked him, politely, to turn off his camera. "If you don't mind," he said. "I don't want people thinking I'm doing this for you." The bus leaves. Garth Brooks stays and signs another ball, and another. "I'm getting more out of this than I'm giving," he said apologetically after another hitless game. I couldn't disagree more. ***

Blue Chip Radio Report 03/29/99
Dunno if Jeff Wall's taken off yet since he normally takes care of these, but I'll send it out anyway. --Jon Johnson THE BLUE CHIP RADIO REPORT Country Music News, Charts, Show Prep, Sales Info March 29, 1999 Bill Miller Editor Publisher The Blue Chip Radio Report is a free weekly newsletter for people in the radio and music industries. To add your name to our e-mailing list, or to remove your name, send your request to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks! The Blue Chip Song of the Week: "Some Broken Hearts" by Bellamy Brothers. Writer: Wayland Holyfield. Producers: Bellamy Brothers and Randy Hiebert. Label: Intersound Country and Bellamy Brothers. CDX: volume 207. The original country hat act, the Bellamys come from left field with this arrangement of the 1977 Don Williams hit (under the title "Some Broken Hearts Never Mend"). This song has a reggae beat, much more hip and jiggy than some of the second-rate pop music flowing out of Nashburg these days. Most importantly, the lyric is timeless. After all, some broken hearts never mend. Two more of radio's heavy hitters from the past year are without labels this morning. Toby Keith has left Mercury Nashville as Tracy Byrd exits MCA. The news is better for Doug Stone and for The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Stone returns to the major label arena with an Atlantic Nashville deal. He had a long string of fine country hits for Epic before sliding into a rock sound that was greeted with a collective yawn by the radio and music public. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band has signed with Dreamworks. Their first release, scheduled for May 4th, will be "Bang Bang Bang", an album recorded for the defunct Rising Tide label a year ago. Ray Price was arrested on charges of possession of drug paraphenalia and marijuana last week near his Texas ranch. He posted a $ 500 bond, pleaded no contest to the possession of drug paraphenalia charge, and paid a $ 200 fine. The 73-year-old member of The Country Music Hall of Fame is expected to go to court at a later date on the possession of marijuana charge. It's not unusual for a radio station to react to a downturn in ratings by cutting the playlist. When the pressure's on, "Play the biggest hits more often" is always a line that a P.D. or consultant on shaky ground can sell to the men and women in the large, carpeted offices. How bad are things? Trini Triggs broke into R R's Top 50 with only 8 reporting stations playing "Horse To Mexico". That number broke the previous low record of 22 stations on a LeAnn Rimes tune of awhile back. You may recall that former California Governor Ronald Reagan pardoned Merle Haggard for his felony convictions after The Hag achieved stardom. Through the generosity of North Carolina Governor Jim Hunt, Randy Travis now enjoys the same pardoned status. As a troubled teen, Travis was convicted of larceny, burglary and weapons charges at various times in his home state. Quoted in Seventeen magazine, The Dixie Chicks' Martie Seidel said that men haven't started throwing underwear at the group, but they'd prefer boxers, not briefs, if and when the phenomenon develops. Chad Brock has worked as a car salesman and as a pro wrestler. He was on the WCW circuit using his real name and wearing cowboy togs as his gimmick. Brock says he wrestled 19 times on TV, including one appearance against Paul Wight, a.k.a. The Giant. Rumors are that Brock may still want to hide soap and bottle caps in his trunks. Some speculate that he may combine his new-found singing stardom with a return to the WCW ring. He'll be the good guy, no doubt.

Brock Speer of gospel music's Speer Family died earlier today (3/29/99) in Nashville. Speer joined his brother Ben and Gordon Stoker of the Jordanaires on Elvis Presley's first Nashville session for RCA Victor Records in 1956, according to The Tennessean. The brothers also contributed to other Presley sessions, but the family is legendary in gospel music circles. Speer was a former president and chairman of the board of the Gospel Music Association. Brock Speer was 78 years old. Charles Sawtelle, a founding member of the bluegrass group Hot Rize, died March 20th from complications of leukemia. Charles Sawtelle was 52 years old. Inspiration is everywhere. The Bellamys said on Crook and Chase awhile back that they got the idea for the reggae arrangement on "Some Broken Hearts" from a bar band- a beach bar band, in fact. In the Miami area, the brothers walked out to the beach bar (as in "thatched tiki hut") and heard someone do a reggae arrangement of the classic. Supposedly, they looked at each other and said something like "Duh". There are more than 300,000
Fleagh or something like that
From Billboard online: Guinness Fleadh Sets Lineup Elvis Costello, Van Morrison, Lucinda Williams, and Hootie the Blowfish are among the scheduled performers for some or all of the dates for the 1999 Guinness Fleadh.

KDF was on 24 hours a day, The coolest thing about the station was always the day before the Volunteer Jam when the Charlie Daniels band would just come in and take the sumbitch over. They'd play what they wanted to hear and what the listeners requested. Damn playlists, Screw formats. Ole Steve Henderson is dead and gone now but it's good to hear Carl P is coming back.

I was sorry I did not get to see the new documentary shown at the film fetsival about RL Burnside and Possum Records now, but hope it will pop up on TV or elsewhere. Meanwhile...here's the interetsting part-- In the Convention Hall I met the poeple who run what's called the Music Maker Relief Foundation...an organization which still seeks out, finds and then truly supports unknown blues musicians--with the likes of recording contracts with actual distribution somne promotion, and donation-backed tours...one of which is now ongoing, as the "Winston Blues Revival" They gave me a demo disc of a bunch of their artists, and there are some TRULY EXCELLENT discoveries here--including Piedmont Tradition (as in Pink Anderson, Blind Gary Davis, Blind Boy Fuller) songster-writer Cootie Stark, notable acoustic blues singer Neal Pattman, guitar men Mudcat and Guitar Gabriel--and that rarest of rarities, one ass-kicking electric guitar woman, Ms. Willa Mae Buckner, who is pretty definitely not Richard Buckner's sister. You can learn about these artists and their recordings at http://www.musicmaker.org And here are upcoming tour dates--at which Stark, Ms. Beverly "Guitar" Watkins (another one!), Pattman and Mudcat will be joined by Taj Mahal and surprise guests. $10 tickets are relaly donations--but the show should be memorable.

Joe Williams RIP
The great jazz singer Joe Williams was found dead Monday night a few blocks from the hospital he was registered at. He was 80. Yeah, not much twang here, but the man was a great performer. He was one of my mother's favorite singers. His work with Count Basie during the 50s was fantastic to say the least. For Mothers Day last year, I took my mom to see JW and George Shearing at a special show here in Detroit. Front row seats, it was one of the best shows that I have ever seen. He belted out his standards like they were his lifeblood. His voice will be greatly missed in the jazz scene, and in my heart. Mitch Matthews Gravel Train/Sunken Road

In January of 1988, amidst the frozen badlands of Västerås, Sweden, a gang
of Vikings decided to become a rockabilly trio and call themselves the Go
Getters.
Ten years later, the ensuing inferno still rages like an oil fire out of
control.
Armed with a blazing guitarist, a slapping bass player, and a standup
drummer on lead vocals, this trio has electrified its audiences with enough
ass-kickin', blues-marinated, high-octane rockabilly wattage to light up
Las Vegas-- which it actually did in 1998.
The fanatical crowds and general bedlam witnessed at their early shows
prompted the Go Getters to record, and after appearing on several
compilation albums in the late '80's they released their first single, You
Don't Love Me, in 1992. The platter soon topped the European roots music
charts and led to the release of their debut LP, Real Gone!; considered a
milestone in modern rockabilly music for its even heavier infusion of the
blues. The success of these records fueled an insatiable demand for the
group throughout Europe, and for the better part of a decade they toured
the continent without mercy.
In addition to their own shows, during this time the Go Getters backed many
of the 50's biggest rockabilly stars, including Sleepy La Beef, Ray Sharp,
Larry Donn, Johnny Powers and the greatest of them all, Mr. "Rockin' Bones"
himself, Ronnie Dawson out of Dallas, Texas. Since 1990 Dawson has used
The Go Getters exclusively as his touring band in Scandinavia.
Red hot from seven years on the road, the Go Getters embarked on their
first tour of the United States in 1995, burning through Chicago, Detroit
and Minneapolis before finally incinerating Fairmont Indiana, where they
played the Rebel Weekender to a thunderous ovation, proving that a gang of
Vikings could still conquer a continent.
Led by singer/songwriter/drummer/hot rodder extraordinare Peter Sandberg,
the group also released two singles in '95; Gangwar/ Hobo Baby and
Sandberg's self-penned Loud Pipes`n Lead Feet, the latter a smash hit in
the hot rod world.
In '96 they released the single MeXiGo!/ Madman Blues on Goofin Records,
and their second, blistering LP, Hotter Than A Pepper. In May of that year
the group also made their long awaited appearance at the Hemsby Rock Roll
Weekender #16 in the U.K., inciting their fans to near riot. That summer
they hit the road again for their second U.S. tour, invading New York,
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Portland and Boston, and in the Viking tradition,
taking no prisoners.
`98 saw the release of their third LP, Rock Roll Is Everywhere! and their
third U.S. tour, which ignited Los Angeles, San Deigo, San Francisco, San
José and ultimately, "Sin City" and the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender
#1, where their performance was said to have raised the candlepower of the
Vegas skyline to that of a nuclear blast.
A week after sweeping out the ashes and arriving home from the road, the
band was gone again for its triumphant return to England and the Hemsby
Rock Roll Weekender #20.
1999 follows the Go Getters on their fourth U.S. tour with no containment
in sight. From America, they'll continue their global-warming trend Down
Under on their first 10-city barn-burning tour of Australia.

"The Go Getters mix of rhythm blues, rockabilly and country generates a
positive party atmosphere that will keep the beer-taps open all night at
any bar. You´ll die dancin´! If these cats don't move ya, You're dead!"

Mandy Barnett's I've Got A Right To Cry
What a gorgeous album. Devoid of the little concessions to HNC that marred her otherwise-excellent debut album, I've Got A Right To Cry evokes the glory days of Patsy Cline and the Nashville Sound, while also occasionally delving into the more hardcore honky tonk sounds of a decade earlier. Backed up by a host of great pickers (including former A-Teamers from the golden years like Pete Wade, Buddy Emmons!, Pig Robbins, Hal Rugg and Buddy Harman) and featuring the last production work of the late Owen Bradley, this classy album of soulful torch songs, snappy country-pop, heart-rending honky tonk ballads and spirited hillbilly romps could be the best damn thing I've heard all year. It's not due out for another coupla weeks (April 13th on Sire Records), but I suspect a number of P2ers are gonna be slobberin' all over it (and no doubt arguin' over the merits of Owen and Harold's proudly retro country-pop production).--don

Clip: Mojo Nixon on MP3.com
http://www.mp3.com/news/205.html Mojo Nixon Sounds Off! By Mojo Nixon March 20, 1999 [Editor's Note: Mojo "Bring Me The Head Of David Geffen" Nixon stops by this week to let off some steam the only way he knows how (parental guidance suggested). For those of you not familiar with Mr. Nixon--first off, shame on you--he is a national treasure; one of rock's most profane and insane. As Rolling Stone wrote, "It's Nixon's crusading commitment to raw, stripped down rock'n'roll and his anger at all things that defile and dilute it that make such a bracing tonic in these bland and kingless times." Mojo and his new label Shanachie were kind enough to let us be the first to post "I Don't Want No Cybersex" (http://www.mp3.com/artists/14/mojo_nixon__the_toadliquors.html) from his outstanding new album, "The Real Sock Ray Blue" (due in stores March 23). If your MP3 collection don't have Mojo Nixon, then your MP3 collection needs some fixin'!] Mojo says: "A bunch of lyin,' cheatin' Record Company creatins are gonna start spewing a giant line of bullshit about how artists must be protected from MP3.com--about how the Internet is gonna ruin their criminal Spice/Hootie cash grab--about how there must be regulations and the Rio must be outlawed and that there must be "industry" consensus on how to keep ass-fucking the artists and keep those uppity cash cow kids in their place. People, don't believe The Big Lie from big brother NARAS, major record labels, the RIAA, etc.! The real question is not who the artist is going to get screwed by and how the artist is going to get screwed. It's is he/she gonna control their own their own exploitation or is some coke-snorting, L.A. shyster surrounded by scum lawyers gonna suck the talent dry from our best and brightest rock and rollers? I don't care what you make illegal--the future cannot be stopped. Not only is MP3 just the tip of the iceberg, but Internet radio, Rios, and even PC car radios are coming faster than Madonna. This ain't about piracy or bootlegs or artistic integrity. This is about monopolies, capitalism, and the man keeping us down. Fuck the man! Let freedom ring! Let 1,000 flowers bloom! I'm putting my song, "I Don't Want No Cybersex" on MP3.com for free to spread the word of the insanity that is me. Hell, you can still buy my CD if you want to or resurrect my former Web site Mojo World and become a Mojoholic or Mojonite. Alas, the guy who used to run it is currently residing in a state institution for the criminally insane. Anyway, you get the picture. Download my song, fight the power, cry havoc, and let rip the dogs of war as we proud, few nut jobs, begin to visualize armed insurrection."
