Playlist: The Fringe featuring the Flatirons
Howdy, I temporarily misplaced last week's playlist for the Fringe, so I am only just now getting around to posting it for your reading pleasure (at least I hope it's more of a pleasure than a burden). By way of an introduction of this week's featured Fringe artist, let me say that it should be fairly obvious that I select my featured artists based more on personal taste than anything else. It is my hope that along the way either of my two listeners will enjoy the selection, too. That being said, this week's album easily generated the most telephone response than any featured artist to date. I know next to nothing about the band itself, but I'm loving this album. The best compliment the show received all night was from a caller who said he'd just turned off Austin City Limits on the television so he could listen to the Fringe instead. So, now we have three listeners... At any rate, artists making their Fringe debut this week included: Hazel Dickens Alice Gerrard, Stacey Earle, Farmer Tan, The Flatirons, Good Ol' Persons, Chris LeDoux, Martin's Folly, The Okra All-Stars, Poco, Stray Cats, Rick Trevino, and Tom Waits. Here's how the Fringe looks from a distance: Fringe -- Episode #30 -- April 17, 1999 WDVX-FM -- Clinton/Knoxville, TN -- 9 p.m. to Midnight Purple Rain -- The Okra All-Stars -- The Okra All-Stars -- Innerstate The Camel's Heart -- Dolly Parton -- Hungry Again -- Decca (4/18@Dollywood) Pickin' Up the Pieces -- Poco -- Heroes of Country Music, Vol. 5 -- Rhino High Lonesome Moon -- The Flatirons -- Prayer Bones -- Checkered Past You Win Again -- The Ditchdiggers -- Cow Patty Bingo -- Go Kat Go Working Man Blues -- Lone Justice -- This World Is Not My Home -- Geffen Sweetheart -- Cheri Knight -- The Northeast Kingdom -- E-Squared New Pair of Shoes -- The Flatirons -- Prayer Bones -- Checkered Past Track 5 Blues -- Martin's Folly -- Man, It's Cold -- Tar Hut She's Tough -- Chris LeDoux -- Rodeo Rock and Roll Collection -- Capitol (4/22@Cotton-Eyed Joe's) Heart's On Fire -- The Flatirons -- Prayer Bones -- Checkered Past Cadillac Ranch -- Rick Trevino -- NASCAR: Runnin' Wide Open -- Columbia Waiting -- Stacey Earle -- Simple Gearle -- Gearle Picking Up the Signal -- Son Volt -- Straightaways -- Warner Brothers (4/22@Sing Sing, Chattanooga) Last Night -- Mark David Manders Neuvo Tejas -- Tales from the Couch Circuit -- Blind Nello My Life -- Iris DeMent -- My Life -- Warner Brothers When I Write the Book -- Nick Lowe -- Basher: The Best of Nick Lowe -- Columbia By Yourself -- The Flatirons -- Prayer Bones -- Checkered Past My Better Years -- Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerrard -- Hazel Alice -- Rounder The One I Love Is Gone -- Good Ol' Persons -- Good N' Live -- Sugar Hill Heaven Help You -- The Flatirons -- Prayer Bones -- Checkered Past Highway Cafe -- Tom Waits -- Pearls in the Snow -- Kinkajou Local Girls -- Graham Parker -- Just Can't Get Enough, Vol. 1 -- Rhino Three Coins -- Blue Mother Tupelo -- My Side of the Road (4/23@The Spot, 4/24@Sassy Ann's) Nothing -- The Flatirons -- Prayer Bones -- Checkered Past Slippin' and Slidin' -- Wanda Jackson -- Right or Wrong/There's a Party Goin' On -- TNT Laser These Hills -- Iris DeMent -- Infamous Angel -- Warner Brothers She Came Along to Me -- Billy Bragg Wilco -- Mermaid Avenue -- Elektra (Wilco 4/28@Tennessee Theatre) These Days -- Sara Evans -- No Place That Far -- RCA Sexy + 17 -- Stray Cats -- Just Can't Get Enough, Vol. 12 -- Rhino So Lonesome -- The Flatirons -- Prayer Bones -- Checkered Past Be Mine -- Kimmie Rhodes -- West Texas Heaven -- Justice Flyswatter/Ice Water Blues -- Lyle Lovett -- Joshua Judges Ruth -- Curb/MCA Jump Jim Crow/Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah -- Michelle Shocked -- Arkansas Traveler -- Polygram Crazy Train -- The Flatirons -- Prayer Bones -- Checkered Past Hangin' Round the Airport -- Farmer Tan -- Farmer Tan -- Foothill I Lost It -- Lucinda Williams -- Car Wheels on a Gravel Road -- Mercury (4/29@Tennessee Theater) Devil Lives in Dallas -- The Flatirons -- Prayer Bones -- Checkered Past No Ash Will Burn -- Mollie O'Brien -- Big Red Sun -- Sugar Hill Boogie -- John Hartford -- Aereo-Plain -- Rounder You Are the Light -- Lone Justice -- Lone Justice -- Geffen Napoleon -- Scott Miller -- Bubbapalooza, Vol. 1 -- Sky (Scott Miller's Mule Train 4/30@Bird's Eye View) I Never Heard You Say -- Kimmie Rhodes -- West Texas Heaven -- Justice Bad Seeds -- The Flatirons -- Prayer Bones -- Checkered Past William and Nancy's Parting -- John Wesley Harding -- Trad.

Clip: Gospel Music Hall of Fame
The Mountain Press 4/16/99 Gospel Memorabilia Finds a New Home at Dollywood by Pat Dorwin, staff writer Pigeon Forge-- When a group of Southern gospel performers decided they wanted to make traveling a little more comfortable, they designed the first tour bus. The idea of luxury has evolved since the Blackwood Brothers and group member J.D. Sumner oversaw that first bus, where they relaxed-- and slept in-- recliners while on tour. A reconstruction of that first bus can be seen at the Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame and Museum, which officially opens April 17 at Dollywood. Tour buses spread to all types of music, and the little wrinkles in design have been ironed out. Recliners first gave way to box springs and mattresses for slumber. "They didn't realize once they started driving down the road, the box springs bounced them out of (the beds)," said Heather Campbell, executive director of the Southern Gospel Music Association. The SGMA was formed in 1994 to preserve the tradition of Southern gospel music. Construction of the hall of fame and museum began last year at Dollywood. "Fans will have a place to go and look and learn," said Tim Riley of the Gold City Quartet, a group that will appear in conjunction with grand opening festivities. "I think it's really going to be an asset for Dollywood and Southern gospel music." Years ago, outside of listening to the Grand Ole Opry and Louisiana Hayride shows on the radio, there weren't a whole lot of musical choices. But when Southern gospel groups began to tour by bus, they were able to bring the music to more churches and schools than ever before, Riley said. "People remember all-day singings and (cemetery) decoration days," he said. And now Christian music, which includes Southern gospel, is making a comeback of sorts. "So many people my age grew up with it," and are now getting back to Southern gospel, Riley said. Today's groups have more musical training and high-tech sounds that help attract new listeners as well. The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the hall of fame and museum is 9:30 a.m. Saturday and Dolly Parton, and seven of the 41 members of the hall of fame, including Bill Gaither, will appear. At the opening ceremony a half-hour later, the Gaither Vocal Band, the Florida Boys, the Dove Brothers, and the Kingdom Heirs will perform in the Showstreet Theater. Riley gives a lot of credit to Gaither for reviving Southern gospel. "He has awakened this in hundreds of thousands of people... It's really uplifting to be a part of it," Riley said. Exhibits at the hall of fame and museum include: -- Visitors first chance upon an Animatronic Quartet, or robots that look like real people, Campbell said. It's set up like an old singing school. -- A replica of the first touring bus. James Blackwood supervised the reconstruction, as did Sumner until he died late last year. Sumner was president of the SGMA and an advocate for bringing the hall of fame and museum to Sevier County. -- Five interactive, touch screen computers covering Southern gospel from 1910 to present day. Users can listen to audio and, for some eras, see video clips. "You can spend 15 minutes or five days depending on how in-depth," your research is, Campbell said. -- A recording studio allows visitors to sing to background music and tape the song. There are more than 750 song titles to choose from and the first tape costs $9.99 with additional tapes $4.99 each. The museum will also have quite a few Southern gospel artifacts, as the SGMA has been adding items for the past two years, Campbell said. Computer recordings to preserve Southern gospel are also being made. "It's a heartfelt music. It deals with the soul," Riley said of Southern gospel. "It's a music that has a beat to it that people can enjoy." In times of trouble, the music can hold promise of a better future and faith in God. "Gospel music gives a person hope that there is a better way... That we can depend on Him. That's the message of Southern gospel, that there's hope beyond this world," Riley said. Travel can be tough on the group members and their family. "It's a sacrifice," Riley said. "You have to marry the right person and be in it together. It has to be a ministry." But he knows his music is for a higher purpose. "It's like a fire in your bones when God tells you to do something," Riley said. Gold City Quartet, based in Gadsden, Ala., will perform 210 concerts a year, but Riley said they try to get home at least three days a week. "It's a sacrifice. It's not an easy life," Riley said. "But the Lord always seems to give you the gumption to go on." There is no admission charge for the hall of fame and museum, which will be open during regular Dollywood hours.

In Concert: Ray Price
Howdy, I posted the Dollywood Concert Calendar earlier this year, but it looks like there's a new competitor in the mountains this year also aiming at the same demographic. Governor's Palace Theater is based in Sevierville, and is one of the many music theaters in the area determined to transform the Smokies into Branson East. (Lee Greenwood and Louise Mandrell are most notable at this time for their theaters, and Alan Jackson and Alabama have opened namesake restaurants here.) Nonetheless, I received their concert calendar for this season and saw some names of interest. In that spirit, here's the info. Gospel fans will note that the Rev. J. Bazell Mull now hosts singing conventions in Knoxville and Sevierville. Ain't that right, Miss Mull? Mull Singing Convention -- May 1 The Lettermen -- May 7 Mull Singing Convention -- June 5 John Berry -- June 11 Martina McBride -- June 19 Oak Ridge Boys -- June 26 Billy Ray Cyrus -- July 2 Charley Pride -- July 9 Mull Singing Convention -- July 10 Debbie Reynolds -- July 24 Diamond Rio -- July 31 Deana Carter -- August 6 Mull Singing Convention -- August 14 Ray Price -- August 27 George Jones -- September 4 (This, I assume, is tentative...) Boots Randolph and the Mills Bros. -- September 24 Jim Nabors -- October 1 Oak Ridge Boys -- October 8 Patsy Cline Tribute Show -- October 15 Mull Singing Convention -- October 16 Jerry Reed -- October 23 Glenn Miller Orchestra -- October 30 Mull Singing Convention -- November 25 Unlike the Dollywood shows, ticket prices vary from artist to artist. All shows start at 7:30 pm. Holler at me, if anyone needs more info.

WDVX Bluegrass Breakdown and Dogwood Jam
Howdy, Pardon me for offering up a small bit of shameless semi-self promotion. On Saturday WDVX-FM, the station where I volunteer my DJ services, launches its spring fund drive with a 13-hour live concert on Knoxville's Market Square. The concert is featured as part of the Dogwood Arts Festival downtown and will be broadcast live. The show will lean heavily towards bluegrass, with a bit of blues, celtic, and soul thrown in for good measure. Here's a partial rundown of who's on the set list... Chris Jones...Rambler's Choice...Bill Mize...Avery Trace...Monroe Fields...Blue Mother Tupelo (blues)...Finnegan's aWake (Celtic)...The Stingbeans...Knoxville Bluegrass Band...The Delta Souls...and some that I can't remember right now. At any rate, the concert is free and WDVX is encouraging jam sessions on the sidewalks, so bring an instrument if you'd like. I'll likely get a chance to play host for a portion of the show, and I'll also be hanging around the museum that day, too. (Just a block from the show, so come by and say howdy...) I'm working with the station manager on plans for the May campout and concert at the campground that is home to the WDVX studio/camper. It looks like that show will feature some good Fringe-related music, so I'll keep you updated on that, too. (There will be an admission charge to that show, but it's for a good cause.) I'll fill in additional details as I get them.
