Re: Note-for-note
Jon posted a lovely quote: I found the quote I mentioned earlier in the thread on covers, and it's every bit as good as I remember it. The speaker is Eddie Adcock, banjoist and flat-picking guitarist extraordinaire; he was interviewed by Barry Willis in 1990 (the interview appears in Willis's gigantic, messy book, _America's Music: Bluegrass_): "...there is a neat thing that takes place in the mind - just like some of the finer art in the world - when you hit upon that note exactly the way the guy intended to hit it the first time. Then you can get the idea and the feeling and the emotion that caused him to do it. They're not your emotions; you're working out of his brain even though he may be dead and gone. It does something for you that nothing can doAnd if you hang in there and try to duplicate it in every way, then you can experience what he experienced when he did even though it may have been fifty years ago. You can feel him go through that." I couldn't help but wonder if the spirit of what caused Eddie Adcock to so beautifully express his thoughts about what he felt when duplicating another artists work wasn't something like the feelings that would cause, say, Billy Bragg to claim that he was "collaborating" with Woody Guthrie. Not that he was "right" in claiming that...g b.s. "Time begins on Opening Day" -Thomas Boswell
Re: CD Length?
This is for CD-recordables but I'm sure it applies for commercial manufacturing too. For home recording I've gotten up to 82.5 minutes on a CD-R without problems, and I've read some brands can hold up to 84 minutes. There are 80 minute blanks where the spiral a data path is just a little bit tighter, and there's a also a technique called overburning which writes a few minutes extra music to an area reserved for another purpose. Players generally don't care about the tricks, the 82+ minute discs play fine in my 13 year old Pioneer and in my $29 portable. At 02:29 PM 4/4/99 -0400, you wrote: Anyone happen to know the maximun amount of music that can fit on a single CD? Gracias. NW
Re: Good covers (was: Kelly Willis calling the shots)
You know, I'm glad this came up because as we speak I'm taping some of the Pine Valley Cosmonauts LP. What strikes me is that the songs which fail do so because they spotlight vocalists who are weak singers. Or, maybe it's that they are trying to adopt the Wills arrangements too strictly, which were able to feature a singer as fitted for those arrangements as Tommy Duncan was. This is probably why Merle and Willie and George Strait can pull off Western Swing. It's not that their bands aren't all respectively brilliant, it's just that each of their voices is distinctively complementary. As Willie might say, they're aging with time like yesterday's wine. I hope some of these folks on the PVC do stick with the swing, maybe they'll have a great album before long. Or maybe someone should convince Dwight Yoakam to sing with the band. you are so right about the pine valley cd which i have tried to like but finally gave up on for that exact reasonmusically i like lots of and vocally some of but it just winds up a pale comparison to some really good weatern swingi am far from a purist on this but some folks just don't have the voice (or should i say phrasing) to pull off these songsoh well, i guess bob wills is still the king
Brother Ray info requested
Ray Charles will be playing relatively nearby. Has anyone seen him recently and is the show worth going to. Bear in mind that going would mean major hardship for me as it's on a Friday night a few hours away and as a new restaurant owner that's no kind of recipe for success. I do however fucking love Ray Charles. Nicholas

Re: Good covers (was: Kelly Willis calling the shots)
This covers thread raised a question for me -- what's it called when an artist -- I'm thinking of Dave Alvin, specifically -- "covers" a tune that he wrote for a band that he played in, but didn't sing, and covers it in a wildly different (and better, in Alvin's case) fashion? Border Radio, Romeo's whatever, a few others. I'll try to think of some other artists who did this sort of thing. -- Terry Smith ps so when's mandy barnett's new one coming out?
Kelly and Bruce
One view of the Kelly Willis show last Thursday: http://metromix.com/reviews/detail/1,1259,2500143,00.html (Warning -- skip his first paragraph if you have a low tolerance for big city writers trying to be clever about country music.) My view of the Friday show -- Kelly was real good, but Bruce Robison's thirty-five minute opening set was maybe a bit better. A well behaved crowd actually listened to his quiet little solo set. High point of the evening -- Kelly Willis suddenly standing next to me in the crowd, watching Bruce do a new song called "Just Married", then joining him on stage for "Angry All the Time". Second best line of the evening -- Kelly asking everyone to buy cd's and t-shirts, to help her pay for boarding her four cats (Baby, OJ, Francis and Twist). Best line of the evening -- see sigfile below. She and the band seemed a bit tentative all evening -- there seemed to be a lot of standing around between songs. And is it just me, or is Amy a bit offkey with her harmonies? Kelly played most of the new record, along with tunes from all her other records. And I think she played all four songs from the Fading Fast ep, which I wish someone would reissue so I don't have to pay forty bucks to buy it on ebay. A rollicking "Take It All Out On You." An intense "Not Long For This World." A perfect "What World Are You Living In." Regarding her version of "Time Has Told Me" -- my vote goes to the Nick-did-it-better side, as she and the band kind of trampled it. She's due back in June, for the Country Music Fest in Grant Park. I assume she'll be on the small stage rather than the giant stage.

RE: Roger Miller Box Set (was: Drake...)
Best Of, Golden Hits, etc. are widely available and cheap, and, IMO,
the
"duh" starting point for Miller as a performer - after all, these
songs
("King Of The Road," "Dang Me," "Do Wacka Do," "You Can't Rollerskate
In A
Buffalo Herd," "England Swings," etc.) are some of the most
monstrously
successful ever made. Plus which, they're really good. I like the
Country
Tunesmith collection pretty well, too, but it's definitely an "after"
buy,
as is anything else.
[Matt Benz] Well, sure, I didn't mean to mislead someone by
suggesting a more in depth collection than "Golden Hits," or any of
those cheapo shoody looking collections, but knowing how folks around
here like to dive in head first, suggesting a more comprehensive
collection didn't seem to be any less of a "duh" starting point. If
someone wants to stay in the shallow but hit-filled send of the Roger
Miller pool, then I guess I suggest finding a used vinyl copy of Golden
Hits, which might run ya .25.

How ever could I have thought I sincerely liked the song on its own merits? g But I used the word "rehash" advisedly. I think it's possible and even fairly common to do a note-for-note rendition of someone else's song and *still* bring something of oneself--usually having to do with the distinctive voice that Ross mentions--to it. A rehash, on the other hand, is nothing more than a carbon copy of a song, one that doesn't add any distinctiveness of voice or anything else. A talented artist can sing a note-for-note rendition of a song they didn't write and still make it their own, by virtue of having a) a distinctive voice and b) emotional honesty, and specifically the ability to give the listener a sense that the song resonates emotionally for the singer as it did for the writer or original performer. I certainly agree with all of that, but I don't think that's the same thing as saying "all good covers" should be "reinterpretations rather than rehashes". Unless you are saying that a note-for-note remake is a reinterpretation when you like it and a rehash when you don't like it. A note-for-note remake, I'd say, is almost always giving the song the same interpretation as the original, whether it works or not.

Re: Note-for-note
well, hell, what is orchestral music except an attempt to recreate a piece of music note-for-note? I find it interesting, even exhilarating, to try to recreate old styles of playing in a live situation. We just did a new Kimmie Rhodes/Joe Sears play called "Hillbilly Heaven" in which we used a bunch of old country songs, and I was the acoustic rhythm player in the band, and doing old Hank Williams and Lefty and Bob Wills and Cline stuff is truly a gas when you try to do it the real way. It can also be very instructive to try to recreate a style of playing, like Western Swing or Ray Price Shuffle, because it is usually a humbling experience. (There is nothing more terrible than a badly played shuffle. Bands who play them badly should be executed.) However, if I were making a record and using old material I think I would be forced to do something new with it for the simple reason that it has already been done that way once, well, and I just don't understand parroting old stuff. -- Joe Gracey President-For-Life, Jackalope Records http://www.kimmierhodes.com

I have seen him at least twice and one time he was brilliant and had people diving out of the balcony in ecstasy and the other time he got mad at the sound man for screwing with his monitors and he became so cranky about it that it ruined the show, becoming a contest of wills to see if he could destroy the poor guy.

Re: ASCAP vs BMI (long, and angry!)
Obviously an ASCAP recruiter At 02:16 PM 4/3/99 -0500, you wrote: Since I once worked for damn near a quarter of a century with Canada's performing right society, I've been following the discussion with interest. Astonishingly, no one has raised the issue of why on earth there are TWO organizations in the US (three, if you count SESAC). The duplication (triplication) of overhead costs American songwriters and publishers a fortune, and nobody seems to worry about that. The good Joe Gracey (and I'm SO sorry to have missed meeting you during SXSW, Joe), believes that BMI was formed to combat the perceived elitism of ASCAP at the time (early 40s), but that's only a very small part of it. In fact, BMI (which stands for Broadcast Music Inc) was - and still is - owned by the American broadcasting industry, which is, of course, the chief user of music, and the major source of royalty revenue for the public performance of music. It was not formed because ASCAP was doing a bad job, or didn't like hillbilly music, or wouldn't give rural blues songwriters a home - BMI was formed because ASCAP's demands for license fees were considered too high by the broadcast industry, and BMI thus became the perfect example of putting the fox in charge of the hen hut. This strategy has worked very well for American broadcasters, but not very well for American songwriters and publishers, who earn probably less than a third than their counterparts in Canada on a per capita basis, and more than half as much as their counterparts everywhere else in the world. Hopefully someone will provide accurate figures, but going from memory, ASCAP and BMI between them get 1.7 per cent of broadcast industry revenues; it's well over 2.5 per cent in Canada, and anywhere up to 10 per cent in European territories. In the same way that the United States is the only country in the world where all the money is the same colour (thus causing innocent Canadians to give out $10 bills when they thought they were giving out $1s) , the US is the only country in the world with more than one performing right society (Brazil is an exception; they have half a dozen, and the composers don't make a nickel after all the overhead costs!). Americans carry on about how competition makes the world a better place! In this instance, it doesn't. In every other country in the world (Brazil excepted!) one society sets rates for the use of music (with a quasi-governmental body approving the fees after consulting with the users and the society). The overhead is kept simple, the societies are not-for-profit (so ALL the money collected, less overhead, goes to the publishers and writers). The competition from the three American organizations, to get members, is intense, and costly. Recently, SESAC, so that it could tell music users that it represented a significant catalogue, paid Bob Dylan and Neil Diamond $4 million apiece to acquire their catalogues. Nice for Bob and Neil, not so nice for SESAC members, who will earn, collectively, $4 million less than they otherwise would have done. Worse, the competition to collect from music users (particularly small users like restaurants, cafes, etc) has caused such a groundswell of resentment that the restaurant owners recently managed to persuade your government (regardless of the international copyright agreements it has signed) to let many users off the hook altogether. Competition in performing rights? Bah! Humbug!! Every single American songwriter and publisher has lost money as a result of the creation of BMI. And the sheer ignorance of those who say "toss a coin!" rather than considering the implications of your situation in the US is mind-boggling! Sorry guys, support ASCAP, and remind everyone what BMI stands for - which is, in short, to screw the songwriter! Cheers, Richard

Like Shooting Fish in a Barrel
Okay, so, I'm doing a bit of research is support of a screed I'm a-screeding. Five (5! Count 'em!) minutes into it, I found myself reading, over on Addicted to Noise, a review of Trio II by one Kevin John. I quote, with elipses: "Eroding Trio II's impact potential even further is the fact that it features a less stellar collection of songwriters than its predecessor. The names here are Neil Young, favorite standby the Carter Family and Randy Newman... blah blah blah blah After that, you get Kieran Kane and Jamie O'Hara (of the O'Kanes, remember them?), producer John Starling, 'one of today's most respected bluegrass performers' Del McCoury (who?) and some other folks whose names I'll forget the millisecond I stop typing them." Ha! Ha! What a card. (This quote is only incidental to the topic of my screed. I'm after bigger fish to shoot.) --Cheryl Cline

P.S. I forgot to quote this line: "Country gals are as plagued with pre-millennium tension as German-Jamaicans with twisted faces, Trio II says." I'm sure it does, hoss. --Cheryl Cline

The Blue Chip Song of the Week: None. Garth Brooks' Baseball Fantasy Camp is over. Garth left the Padres without a contract as spring training ended this weekend. Garth goes down before the sun comes up with a .045 batting average (1-for-22), far below The Mendoza Line. As one scout noted, he "couldn't do it all. Couldn't hit, couldn't hit with power, couldn't field and couldn't run." From the beginning, no one in baseball took his baseball skills seriously, but he did leave strong impressions of his other talents. He gained more than a few friends in the clubhouse, impressing the pros with his love and enthusiasm for playing what the jaded pros now call "labor". His hustle, attitude toward fans, well-mannered presence, and leadership skills left more than one of the boys of summer in awe. By the way, Garth 70 of the pro baseballers into funding his "Touch 'Em All Foundation". Under a deep shroud of secrecy, Wade Hayes was to have married Danni Boatwright this past Saturday (4/3/99). Emily Erwin from The Dixie Chicks has picked May 1st as her wedding date. She'll tie the knot in Bandera TX with singer/songwriter Charlie Robison. Tracy Byrd didn't have to wait long for a new label. He didn't have to order new promo pictures, either. He could have just taken an eraser, rubbed out the "M", and inserted an "R". The Byrd camp is said to be excited about Tracy's new record deal with RCA. Meanwhile, Toby Keith continues to prepare his next album. He's also hoping for another major label deal soon. Linda Davis will soon leave her long-time role as a backup singer for Reba McEntire. She'll be concentrating on her solo career. On Tim McGraw's Funzone, Claudia Church is quoted as saying "Please Remember Me" was written about her. Claudia says that writer Rodney Crowell wrote the song after the couple broke up, but before they got back together. The song must have worked. Claudia and Rodney are married now. In Jane magazine, Faith Hill is quoted as saying she likes to jog with her band members while her two kids take naps on the tour bus. Chad Brock's hometown is Blairsville, Georgia.

They've launched a new label called "Live At Billy Bob's Texas", according to The Dallas Morning News. As the label's name indicates, the albums will be recorded live at the nightclub. The company's first 3 releases are due this week from John Conlee, Pat Green, and Eddy Raven. After a push in Texas, the CD's will be rolled out nationally around April 27th. Upcoming releases include a June album from Merle Haggard and August releases from Roy Clark and Moe Bandy Joe Stampley.

Job in Minnesota
Yeah, so this doesn't sound so appealing after Nancy Apple posted about the music-reviewing jobs in warmer climes. This is all I got, so hear me out. g Would you like to be the boss of me? My department is looking for an editorial director, and there's $1000 in it for me if I find the right person. I'd consider splitting the cash, too, if you help me out. I work at the Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI), which is a bigass trade association that publishes five attractive, glossy, content-filled magazines. (F'rinstance, I'm the editor of _IFAI's Marine Fabricator_ and assistant editor of the _Industrial Fabric Products Review_.) Unlike many editorial departments, we all work together well and everyone plays a part in everyone else's mag--we're a very collaborative group with relatively little bickering and unpleasantness. We're looking for an editorial director with the following attributes: *plenty of editorial experience (duh!) *managerial experience * an open mind and a good sense of humor *a fairly accurate idea of what *good* trade magazines are supposed to turn out like. You'd be supervising 6 people, and making a heck of a lot more than I do. And in case nobody's told you, the Twin Cities are great, with lovely lakes, groovy shopping districts, A GREAT MUSIC SCENE, a high standard of living, etc. Don't let the snow scare you; we just brag about how cold it is so we look tough.
