Nyhetsbrev nr. 035 9 maj 2004

Hej vänner! Nu är jag tillbak från en fantastisk resa till Apulien i Italien! Min hustru Eva och jag upplevde 9 dagar av vackra utsikter, små fiskebyar, fina hotellrum, fin liten hyrbil och god mat. Inga datorer, mobiltelefoner eller annat som kan störa en semester. Vi såg inte ens några utländska turister trots att vi rörde oss utmed kusten vid Adriatiska havet hela tiden.

TACK alla som sänt email, kort, brev, blommor med anledning av att jag fyllde år i början av maj. Jag uppskattar verkligen er omtanke!

Nu är livet som vanligt och här kommer det första nyhetsbrevet för sommaren. Det kommer att bli många fler som ni kanske förstår. Jag försöker att sända er nyheter varje söndagseftermiddag och torsdagsmorgon.

Hvis du er på jakt etter orginal-låter til noen artist, så kan du sjekke ut noe på: www.newcutmusic.no

Det er spennende å se at det er andre en Nordmenn som også som liker Norsk Country Musikk! J

Jeg er stolt av å være fra Norge med så mange gode Country artister som det nå er fra vårt land (Se chart listen under)!

Ellers er kan jeg nevne at jeg i 5 uker var nr. 1 på European CMA Chartlist (Mest spilte Country sang i Europa),

med min selv komponerte hyllest sang til Johnny Cash, ”Heres To You (The Man in Black)”.

Den samme sang har fått svært god kritikk i Amerika, blant annet fra Bobby Bare, Porter Wagoner,

Hun var for øvrig i salen da jeg i januar i år fremførte den live i Nashville.

Det finnes video dokumenter angående alt dette og som er meningen å bruke til en senere TV dokumentar.

Det er også laget en musikk videoen av hyllest sangen, som skal kjøres flere ganger på amerikansk

TV nå i nær fremtid. Håper også å få den på ”luften” her hjemme også.

8 av sangene fra platen ”Country Home” er plukket ut til den Svenske ”Mr. Music Country” i tiden fremover, spennende!

Jeg har solgt ca 9000 album siden utgivelsen i februar i Norge, og selger jevnt og trutt i følge Showtime Records.

tjenna... hoppas ni har det bra i italien.. jag heter ola .. driver railway saloon i sundsvall, spelar mycket country musik hos oss, country helg live 2gg per år, sen har Roffe i hazard dragit igång jam kvällar, senast var det fullsatt, himla kul..

According to Kris Kristofferson, the Ray Price 1970 number one hit, “For The Good Times,” was written while driving from Nashville, Tennessee, to the Gulf of Mexico.

Kris said, “I wrote “For The Good Times” in the early summer of 1968. AT that time, I had two jobs. One was writing songs- which was paying nothing at the time and the other job was flying helicopters for offshore rigs in the Gulf Of Mexico.”

“I never left Nashville for the Gulf until the last minute because I hated that drive. I was driving an Opel at the time and it was always a tough trip down there!”

“But on one of those trips to the Gulf, I started thinking about how it would be to make love to a woman for the last time. After awhile- I got a melody in my mind and it really turned me on. I remember I kept thinking about the line, “hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing softly against the window.”

“I couldn’t wait to get to where I was going to try the song out on a guitar! I didn’t finish the song on that trip-I only wrote part of it. But the song stayed on my mind and I finished it sometime later.”

“For The Good Times,” became Ray Price’s 56^th chart single and his 5^th number one.

It entered the country music charts June 27^th, 1970 and was on the charts for 26 weeks.

Hvorfor en kalender? Fordi bluegrassmusikken som sjanger trenger spillesteder for å trives og vokse. Og spillesteder trenger penger for å drives og derfor trenger de publikum. Og de bandene de lar slippe til på scenen må trekke til seg publikum hvis de skal få lov å slippe til igjen senere. Og for at det bluegrassinteresserte publikum skal komme må de få vite om hvor der spilles bluegrass. Og ikke minst, de må støtte opp om de stedene som lar bluegrassband slippe til, i hvert fall hvis de vil at det skal komme en mer bluegrass der senere. Her kommer vi inn: En uformell e-post kalender som når ut til flest mulig musikkinteresserte. Så send Bluegrass Nytt videre til alle du tror er interessert, eller enda bedre, send adressene til meg så setter jeg de på distribusjonslisten.

Nyhetsbrev nr. 036 13 maj 2004

Hej igen! Denna vecka har varit jobbig och det har varit svårt att anpassa sig till det vanliga livet efter semestern i Italien. Det tar alltid lite tid att läsa post, email (350 st), dagstidningar med mera. I måndags var jag på inspelning i Askersund (18 titlar) och tillbaka igen. Var jag trött på tisdagen! Jo, trött är bara förnamnet, men mitt program Country, Country Music på Radio Lidingö måste ju ändå göras på tisdagskvällen. Onsdagen blev en vilodag och nu är jag tillbaka i god form. Här kommer ett Nyhetsbrev fullt med intressanta saker. Janne Lindgren

Ett stort tack för att du tog dig tid skicka nya CD’n med Lloyd för innan ni åkte. CD’n har snurrat varje dag. Har en gång setat ca 5m från Lloyd i Furuvik på ett seminarium. Lloyd är ”the Master”, eller som Jeff Newman sade när jag besökte Jeffran College. ”Allt finns framför ögonen, sedan är det bara att finna dessa”. På Lloyd’s LP ”Shade of Steel” från –73, tog det Lloyd 3 dagar att komma underfund med hur man imiterar Wes Montgomery (jazz gitarrist) på en steel. Nu på CD’n ”Revisited” är mycket taget till nya dimensioner. Skull vara kul att se Tablature över hur det är spelat.

Yepp ! Låten " Notime for blues " gick in på 3:e plats på ICU- top five. Det är CC´s andra låt som hamnat på listan som kan höras på radio i USA, Canada, Australien, Nya Zealand och internet. Tack alla som röstat !!!!
Hälsningar,

Carolina Åkerlind och undertecknad ligger fortfarande kvar på förstaplatsen på Country Traxlistan med I Wonder Where You Are Tonight. Riktigt kul! Rösta gärna ännu mer. Listan finns på www.polarradio.net

Tack Janne Gällnegård för den instrumentala plattan du sände mig! Bra spelat! Niklas Widén i Uppsala sände också sin instrumentala steelplatta. Superbra! Återväxten räddad!

Tack också till Monica Silverstrand som sände sin senaste utgåva. Förstalåten Going, Going, Gone kunde ha blivit en riktigt bra western swinglåt med lite steel och fiddle! JL.

Mariahelena & Slidebar söker orginalmaterial till en kommande cd och ber låtskrivare att höra av sig med materialförslag. Mer information av vad vi söker finns på http://www.mariahelena.info.se

För att höra hur vi låter så finns även en inspelning "live/mix" (mp3) på sidan.

Mariahelena & Slidebar kan ses och höras sommaren 2004 bland annat på Valne Westernfest, Vemdalens Countryfestival samt Svea Park/Countryarrangemang i Kaxås

För information och bokning 070-479 13 45, 070-468 28 66 email slidebar@spray.se

Tack för gratulationer! Hoppas sommaren blir bra för er! Kaxås låter kaxigt!! Hälsa Mariahelena och grabbarna. JL.

Willie Nelson Cancels Concerts
ERIE, Pa. - Willie Nelson (news) has canceled concerts for the next two months to have surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome, a promoter said.

The 71-year-old country-western star, whose hits include "Whiskey River" and "On the Road Again," was apparently in so much pain he couldn't finish a show Saturday in Las Vegas.
"Willie Nelson will have surgery to relieve extreme pain caused by carpal tunnel syndrome," Carlos Larraz, a promoter with National Artists Corp, said Monday.

Nelson had ten concerts scheduled for the remainder of May and June, including an appea-rance at the three-day Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tenn., beginning June 11.

Charley Pride Recovering After Surgery
DALLAS (AP) -- Country singer Charley Pride is expected to make a full recovery following brain surgery last week, his personal manager said Monday. Pride, 66, was hospitalized Wednesday for a subdural hematoma, a blood clot that occurs when blood from a torn vessel collects between the brain and the skull. He had sought treatment after experiencing severe headaches, his manager, John Daines, said. The surgery was performed Saturday at an undisclosed hospital. Daines said Pride was alert and awake when he visited him Monday morning. He's expected to make a complete recovery and could be released from the hospital Tuesday, Daines said. "He wants to go back to work," Daines told The Associated Press.

Pride's nine-show, 12-day tour of Canada scheduled to start this week has been rescheduled for August, said Daines. Pride will take four to six weeks off and recover at his Dallas home.

The singer's hits include "All I Have to Offer You (Is Me)" and "Kiss an Angel Good Morning."

PHOENIX (AP) -- Country singer Glen Campbell pleaded guilty Monday to extreme drunken driving and leaving the scene of an accident. Under the plea agreement in Maricopa County Superior Court, Campbell faces 10 days in jail when he is formally sentenced June 14. He'll be eligible for work furlough after 48 hours and is expected to serve 75 hours of community service under the deal. An aggravated assault charge was dropped.

Campbell was arrested in November near his Phoenix home after leaving the scene of a minor traffic accident. He was accused of kneeing a police officer after being taken into custody. The officer wasn't hurt. Extreme drunken driving applies to a blood-alcohol level of 0.15 or higher. Police said breath tests on Campbell showed he had a 0.20 blood-alcohol level at the time of his arrest. The legal limit for Arizona drivers is 0.08. The 68-year-old singer has lived in Arizona for more than two decades. His hits include "Rhinestone Cowboy," "Galveston," "Gentle on My Mind" and "By the Time I Get to Phoenix."

Om ni inte redan har köpt plattan Livin´ Lovin´ Losin´ som är en tribute till The Louvin Brother, där bl a Glen Campbell gör en makalös version av "When I Stop Dreaming", gör det genast! JL.

Hej alle gode country fans.

Mister Jack and the Daniels har fået ny guitarist efter at Morten Donlund er draget til Irland. Morten Donslund har været med i Mister Jack and the Daniels lige fra starten i 1990 og han har gjort det godt må man sige.
Fire cd'er er det blevet til og senest en live cd-rom der kommer ud til juni 2004.

Morten Donslund er i Mister Jack and the Daniels blevet afløst af guitaristen Anders Lampe. Anders har, i modsætning til os andre, faktisk gået i skole i USA for at lære at spille guitar, men udover det så er han en ganske flink fyr.

I kan møde det nye Mister Jack and the Daniels følgende steder i den nærmeste tid:
15. maj Hanstholm Bowlingcenter. Koncert fra 21.00. Billetinfo: 97 96 09 00
20. maj Kræmmermarked i Århus. Koncert med Anni Filt fra 13.30

Vi håber naturligvis at der kommer mange rigtig gæster til arrangementerne.
Venlig hilsen Lars Clausen www.mrjack.dk

QUESTION: My dad used to sing a song about “I’m Tired.” He said it was on the radio by some guy all the time back in the 50’s. Do you have any information on such a record?

ANSWER: “I’m Tired” was the 31^st chart single for Webb Pierce. It entered the country music charts January 5^th, 1957 and peaked at # 3. It was on the charts for 22 weeks. Ricky Skaggs also scored a # 18 hit on the song in 1988.

Lyssna på Radio Lidingö 97,8 så får ni låten serverad! Gäller bara Stockholm förstås! Countrymusiken blomstrar i Australien som ni kan läsa om nedan. JL.

Nyhetsbrev nr. 037 16 maj 2004

Oj, vad tiden springer iväg ibland! Nu blev jag lite sen med nyhetsbrevet, men här kommer det i alla fall! I dagens brev får ni träna er engelska riktigt ordentligt.

Jag kommer att på Lida ha 3 meter marknadsbord bredvid Stockholms Country Music Club.

Vi ska göra reklam för Countrymusiken. Nu har jag inte mailadresser eller telefonnummer till alla Countryklubbar eller Countryfestivaler i Sverige, så jag undrar om du kan ta med det här i ditt nyhetsbrev. Du når ju fram till så många.

Jag tänkte att Countryklubbar får lägga sina informationsblad på vårt bord och alla de som ordnar någon countryfestival i sommar kan lägga sina afficher hos oss. Vad de behöver göra är att skicka det till mig, komma till Lida eller maila mig. Om de mailar så kommer jag bara att skriva ut ett ex. och ha på bordet. Det är inget krav att de ska hjälpa till.

SCMC och Svenska Country & Westernklubben gör allt arbete med att göra reklam för de olika klubbarna och festivalerna. Det vore bra om vi fick ett telefonnummer som folk kan ringa om de vill ha mer info. Och framför allt ….. Det är gratis att göra reklam hos oss.

Tänk om alla countryklubbar och festivalarrangörer var lika framsynta som du är! Det är så självklart att om alla hjälper alla så blir countrymusiken den stora vinnaren. JL.

QUESTION: There was a guy on the radio several years ago with a recording about “Hank Williams Guitar.” Do you know his name and the title of the song?

ANSWER: “Hank Williams Guitar” was Freddie Hart’s 6^th chart single. It peaked at # 23 in 1965 and was on the charts for 12 weeks.

Låten finns på "The Hart Of Country Music" på Kapp Records KS-3456. En höjdare! JL.

BRAD PAISLEY MOVES TO L.A.
He may be a country star, but Brad Paisley no longer calls Nashville home. He's loaded up the truck and moved to sunny southern California with his wife, actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley. Brad admits the move has taken some getting used to. "It's different," he says. "It's about figuring out your little cliques of people you want to be around." Brad adds that he's on the road more than at home anyway, and stresses that he's never far from Nashville. The newlyweds live in the Pacific Palisades area. "It actually reminds me a little of Franklin, Tennessee," says Brad. "It's a little community with its own mayor and a parade. It feels like a hometown."

Buffett Has 'License' To Court Country Fans
Jimmy Buffett is no stranger to the country charts. But he's preparing to go after mainstream country acceptance in a big way with the July 13 release of his RCA debut album, "License To Chill." Nine of the album's 16 tracks feature Buffett in duets with many of country music's "A"-list artists. Alan Jackson, Buffett's partner on last year's eight-week No. 1 hit "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere," joins Buffett on "Boats To Build."

Other artists featured on duets are Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith, Martina McBride, George Strait, Clint Black, Bill Withers and Nanci Griffith. The first single, a cover of Hank Williams' "Hey Good Lookin,'" features Buffett with a whole bunch of pals: Black, Chesney, Jackson, Keith and Strait.

RCA Label Group chairman Joe Galante tells Billboard Buffett hand-picked all the guest artists. "It's about the music for him," Galante says. "He just likes these folks musically and personally." He adds that listeners can feel "the artists' enthusiasm and affection for Jimmy."

Galante says Buffett, who was most recently signed to MCA, approached him with the idea for the project last fall. After hearing some of the tracks Buffett was working on, Galante says, "we decided to move forward. We were very excited about the music."

In addition to targeting country, the label may work tracks to other radio formats. But "the primary focus is to get country fans activated about this project ... A lot of what his fan base is is what our [country] fan base is. If you're a Parrothead, there are songs like 'Coastal Confessions' that resonate with the fans. And if you're a country fan, you can't get much better than Kenny, Toby, Alan, Martina and George Strait."

"License To Chill" is Buffett's first studio album since 2002's "Far Side of the World," which debuted at No. 5 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 382,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan

Buffett begins a round of dates Tuesday (May 18) in Denver and will play a previously announced May 29 show with Jackson and Strait at Texas Stadium outside Dallas. An 11-date summer tour gets underway June 29 in Camden, N.J., and will wrap Sept. 10 and 12 at Boston's Fenway Park.

'Hee Haw' history
In summer 1969, Hee Haw was introduced as CBS's replacement for The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. It was first videotaped at WLAC studios (now WTVF) in downtown Nashville, but moved to Opryland in 1980.

Musicians Buck Owens and Roy Clark were co-hosts, while a bevy of beautiful girls, country comedians and other pickers and grinners filled the bill.Guest performers were among country and pop's elite, and included John Ritter, Kathy Lee Gifford, Sammy Davis Jr., Alan Jackson, Alabama, Marty Robbins, Jerry Clower and Billy Graham.

CBS dropped Hee Haw from the network in 1971, and the producers decided to keep churning out episodes for syndication. The idea proved to be pure gold. In 1992, 585 episodes later, the show stopped production, although The Nashville Network kept reruns on the air until 1997.

Besides its many stars and songs, favorite scenes and skits included jokes from the cornfield; Minnie Pearl's schoolhouse; the Culhanes in the parlor; Clark and Owens pickin' and grinnin'; Archie Campbell and Gordie Tapp singing Pffft You Were Gone; the board fence whacking folks in the behind after telling a bad joke; Campbell in the barbershop; Kenny Price and Lulu Roman in the truck stop; and Roni Stoneman and Tapp as ''The Naggers.''

Terri Clark To Join Opry
The cowboy-hat-wearing woman who sings I Wanna Do It All broke out that song last night on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry after being asked to join the country music institution.

During the televised segment of last night's Opry, Terri Clark became the latest performer invited to become a member. The hour also saw the Opry debuts of Nashville Star winner Brad Cotter and Redneck Woman Gretchen Wilson.

Terri performed her new single Girls Lie Too, for her first song last night before segment host and Opry member Steve Wariner surprised her by bringing her mother, Linda Clark, on stage to reveal a sign that read: ''Grand Ole Opry June 12,'' which is the day Terri will be formally inducted.

After the show, a beaming Terri said, ''I am completely and utterly freaked out right now. I saw my mom come out and she said she wanted to be here if I was ever inducted, and I knew what it meant. The Grand Ole Opry is country music history, and I am so honored to be the first Canadian female asked to join.''

Terri this month is up for Top Female Vocalist at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas. The 2003 nominee for the Country Music Association Female Vocalist of the Year also is a four-time winner of the Canadian Country Music Association's Entertainer of the Year.

Det var mycket på en gång men visst var det intressant att läsa om bl a Hee Haw. Ha det så bra i veckan så hörs vi snart igen!

Nyhetsbrev nr. 038 20 maj 2004

Så var det Kristi Himmelfärdsdag och de flesta är lediga. Har just kommit hem från en tennismatch med hustru Eva. Är man 60+ så går det trögt och hon vann som vanligt!

Jag säger välkommen som "prenumerant" till Mats Rådberg och hoppas att du ska finna något intressant att läsa i mina Nyhetsbrev. Floda Lomaeus som spelar bas i Rankarna har åkt på diskbråck! Kommer förmodligen av att han och hans hustru Anneli alltid bråkar om vem som ska ta hand om kvällsdisken!? (Den var dålig).

Här nedan lite övriga nyheter! Janne Lindgren

STORY BEHIND THE SONG

According to Jay Miller, Kitty Well’s 1952 hit, “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels,” was written while sitting in his car on the side of the highway.

Jay said, “Hank Thompson’s “Wild Side Of Life” was a big hit at the time. It was on the radio all the time and on all the jukeboxes. Several times I had thought of writing a sequel to that song but each time I would try- the lyrics just didn’t strike me as strong enough.”

“One night as I was driving home from a trip to Rayne, Louisiana, I was listening to the radio and they played Hank Thompson’s “Wild Side Of Life.” I guess the timing was finally right because another set of lyrics came to my mind And I thought these were the ones I had been searching for. I pulled my car off the highway--dug out a tablet I kept in the glove compartment and started writing the lyrics down. The lines just kept coming and I just kept writing them down. And that’s how “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels” was written.”

But Kitty Wells was not impressed with the demo tape of the song when her husband Johnny Wright played it for her back in 1952. In fact she wasn’t impressed with the idea of recording anything at that time. She had recorded eight songs for RCA Victor--which had gone nowhere. Her husband’s career was on a roll--as half of the hit duo--Johnny and Jack, and Kitty was resigned to being a stay at home mom to their three children.

But she would make $125 union scale for the recording session and that would help pay some bills so she agreed to record “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels.” But she certainly wasn’t expecting to have a hit record!

The record entered the country music charts July 19^th, 1952 and began climbing to the number one spot-where it stayed for six weeks.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Question One:
I heard on the radio that Charley Pride was seriously ill but they didn’t know what was wrong with him. IS that true

Answer: On May 10^th, Glen Campbell pleaded guilty to charges of extreme driving under the influence and leaving the scene of an accident. He was sentenced to 10 days in jail but will be eligible for work furlough after 48 hours. He will also serve 75 hours of community service. Following his arrest near his Phoenix home in November 2004, Campbell allegedly kneed a police officer in the groin while in custody, but a charge of aggravated assault was dropped.

Question Four: My dad used to sing a song about “Come On Home And Sing The Blues To Daddy.” He said it was on the radio back in the 60’s. DO you have any information on such a recording?

Country Songwriter Kilgore Set For Surgery Mon May 17,12:51 PM ET
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Country songwriter and manager Merle Kilgore was scheduled to have quadruple-bypass heart surgery Monday to clear four blocked arteries. He learned he had a heart problem while being tested for severe back pain; he's also dealing with a collapsed lumbar vertebra.

Kilgore said that after his heart surgery, he'll have to wear a back brace for 12 weeks. He said it's blue and looks like something he might wear on his boat. He said he was thinking of writing on it the "'S.S. Boogie King,' because it is funny-looking," he said.

Kilgore wrote "Ring of Fire," one of the late Johnny Cash (news)'s signature songs. He also manages Hank Williams (news) Jr. and is a member of the Nashville Songwriters Association International Hall of Fame.

O grattis i efterskott på din födelsedag. Skickar goda nyheter- men som sagt- jag vet ju att du rensar bort "icke country news"- och den här skivan är väl bara liiiite country, inte så mycket. Ändå är det otroligt roliga nyheter för alla oss som gillar gammal nostalgisk musik.

Border Music har blivit så förtjusta i vår svenska nya skiva att de bestämt sig för att tapetsera bussar, tunnelbanor och alla Sveriges Åhlens butiker ca (70 st. runt hela sverige) med reklam för "En ny stil i stan". En sådan här chans till marknadsföring får inte ett band ur "roots musiks genren" varje dag och du må tro att vi är jätte glada. Från den 19 maj finns plattan i din närmsta Åhlen´s butik. Vill du läsa lite info. om "En ny stil i stan" kan du öppna bifogad fil. Den 26 maj spelar vi i Stadsparken, Örebro under "Hjälp hjalmar hjälpa"- välgörenhetsgala. Den 27:e skall vi visa upp oss för fint folk i Göteborg, press och inköpare på Border Musics egna stora fest. Håll tummarna för oss.

Söndag igen! Veckorna går fort! Kan det vara ett ålderstecken?

I fredags tittade jag på ett danskt reportage från 2001 på TV2. Programmet kallades "Nya scener från Amerika". Det lät ju ganska intressant så varför inte. Det visade sig vara ett program av stillbilder (för det mesta) och ett hoppande hit och dit i de amerikanska staterna. Ett skitprogram utan innehåll om jag får säga min mening. Och det på bästa programtid en fredagskväll! Hallå, programdirektörer, vakna!

Då var programmet i systerkanalen TV1 bra mycket bättre som visade otroligt skickliga Swe-Danes från Berns 1961. Här visar man upp ett artisteri som många av dagens s k "stjärnor" har mycket att lära av. Inga flashiga dansare, inga blixtrande strålkastare, endast ett fåtal stillastående TV-kameror och det bästa av allt, ingen play-back. D v s alla på scenen spelade och sjöng på riktigt. När såg vi sånt senast i TV?

HEJ JANNE!

QUESTION: Will you please settle an argument? My dad says that Tex Ritter wrote “Hillbilly Heaven” but my mom says some other guy wrote it. Can you settle this?

ANSWER: During an interview several years ago, Tex Ritter stated that “Hillbilly Heaven” was written by Eddie Dean and Hal Sothern, but that he re-wrote his version of the song before recording it. So, Tex was co-writer on his recorded version only, but not the original copyright.

I Bingolotto kunde vi ikväll se Streaplers med steelspelande Arne Österlind. Man undrar varför ljudet från hans steel aldrig hörs? Kanske dåliga ljudtekniker, vad vet jag! Nästa vecka ska Vikingarna vara med i Bingolotto och det skulle varit kul att vara med i direktsändning för en gång skull och inte bara finnas där som en bakgrund och på alla deras plattor. Men jag är inbokad med bandet till Allsång på Skansen i slutet av juni. DET är kul!

Inte så mycket att komma med denna söndag men vi hörs igen på torsdag.

Nyhetsbrev nr. 040 27 maj 2004

Vikingarna – sista dansen, visades igår på TV4. En inspelning gjord i år på Sandgrund i Karlstad. Det blev en sprudlande föreställning av Sveriges populäraste dansband genom tiderna. Christer och grabbarna framförde alla stora hits de haft genom åren och att det här är ett bra band är det ingen tvekan om. Om ni var lite uppmärksamma så kunde ni höra en pedal steel i bakgrunden på många låtar och det instrumentet har bidragit till Vikingarnas välkända sound. Att det sedan är undertecknad som varit med och spelat steel guitar på nästan alla plattor de gjort är tillfredsställande. Det hade givetvis varit ändå roligare att få vara med livs levande och inte bara som ett bakgrundsljud vid deras framträdan. Senast jag var med dem på en turné var så länge sedan som 1987 i Norge och Danmark, men jag har även medverkat i en del TVprogram därefter. Nästa gång jag får vara med på scenen är den 29 juni i år då det blir Allsång på Skansen.

Låtarna från gårdagens TVprogram där min steel hördes i bakgrunden var följande: Leende Guldbruna Ögon, Röda Rosor Röda Läppar, På Världens Tak, Nyanser, Blue Hawaii, En Vän Som Du, Liljor, Kychel Dich In Meine Arme, Ljus Och Värme, Kan Man Älska Nån På Avstånd. På originalplattorna spelar jag på många fler låtar av de som sjöngs igår och generellt kan man säga att mixningen av ljudet på plattorna är bättre än det var igår i programmet. Beträffande steelen alltså!

Railway Saloon i Sundsvall

Nostalgikväll på Railway Saloon i Sundsvall den 5 juni 2004. En kul kväll med Honky Tonk Brothers, Small Town Pimps och Richard som sjunger Elvislåtar!

According to Ted Harris, the idea for Carl Belew’s 1965 hit, “Crystal Chandelier,” came from a real life situation.

Ted said, “”Crystal Chandelier” was inspired by a real life poor boy-rich girl situation in my own life. These two people suddenly came into more money than they knew what to do with and their marriage ended in separation.”

“Several years later, I was performing at a social event and one of those partners showed up. And I got to thinking that this person was there-surrounded by all those people-dressed in their best and displaying all their social graces-and although that person was surrounded by all of that---they were still all alone.”

“There was a large crystal chandelier hanging in the room and I started thinking about that crystal chandelier just hanging there-the greatest symbol of the tinsel world! It hangs there—so beautiful but so cold and completely lifeless. You can see its beauty but that’s all there is. And that’s where the song “Crystal Chandelier” came from.”

Answer: ”Plastic Saddle” was Nat Stuckey’s 8^th chart single. It peaked at # 9 in 1968 and was on the charts for 16 weeks. Nat died of cancer in 1988.

Question Seven: The radio dudes said that a tribute album to Johnny Paycheck was being recorded. Do you know anything about that?

Answer: “Touch My Heart: A Tribute to Johnny Paycheck,” is set for release Aug. 10 on Sugar Hill Records. Featured artists include Buck Owens, George Jones and Bobby Bare. The compilation includes covers of Paycheck's lesser-known Little Darlin' label output from the 1960s, as well as several 1970s hits. Robbie Fulks produced the project which also features Neko Case, Radney Foster, pedal steel player Lloyd Green, Mavis Staples, Marshall Crenshaw, Al Anderson, Dave Alvin, Mike Ireland, Hank Williams III and Wilco's Jeff Tweedy.

Question Eight: My brother used to have a cassette recording of a song about “Born To Love You,” that he recorded off the radio. He said it was a Waylon Jennings record. Do you have any information on such a record?

Answer: ”Born To Love You” was the flipside of Waylon’s 1967 # 12 hit, “Mental Revenge.”

Question Nine: I heard on the news that Willie Nelson is seriously ill. Is that true?

Answer: Willie Nelson has been forced to cancel all concerts for the next two months because of carpal tunnel syndrome. The 71-year-old Nelson was unable to finish a recent concert in Las Vegas because of the pain.

Question Ten: There was a song on the radio back in the 60’s about “Lock, Stock & Teardrops.” Do you know the name of the artist?

Answer: ”Lock Stock & Teardrops” was Roger Miller’s third chart single. It peaked at # 26 in 1963.

Question Eleven: I heard on the radio that George Jones was filling in for Charley Pride at some concert. What’s that all about?

Answer: George Jones will fill in for Charley Pride at the June 10 Golden Voice show near Nashville, Tennessee. Pride is recuperating after undergoing brain surgery in Dallas, Texas. Coinciding with the CMA Music Festival, the Golden Voice show will also feature Rhonda Vincent, Ronnie Milsap, Sonny James, Freddie Hart, Brenda Lee and many other country music veterans. The event takes place at the Williamson County Agriculture Expo Center in Franklin, Tenn.

Question Twelve: It was on the news that Bill Anderson was appearing at some super spectacular concert this summer in Nashville. Do you have any information?

Answer: Bill Anderson, Buddy Jewell, Vince Gill, Brad Paisley, Tracy Byrd, Steve Wariner, Jack Greene, and Pam Tillis are among the artists scheduled to appear at this year's Grand Ole Opry Superstar Spectacular Benefit, a CMA Music Festival week tradition. This year's event is scheduled for Thurs, June 10, 11 p.m. - 2 a.m. at the Ryman Auditorium. The benefit show is an official CMA Music Festival After Hours venue.

Tack Caroline Dahlström och Tim Earle för uppvaktning med blommor och den medsända demoCDn. Jag gillar Trail Of Tears bäst! Kanske för att den är mest country av de tre låtarna på CDn. Lycka till i Nashville Caroline! Men var försiktig, det är ingen stad att ensam gå hem mitt i natten i. Ha alltid sällskap med någon! Det är för övrigt rena sommaren i Nashville nu med ca. 25 – 26 grader. Det låter härligt! JL.

Det här blir en höjdarkväll, det känner jag på mig! Är det någon som ska till Texas just nu? Columbus ligger inte mer än någon timmes körning från Austin. JL

A six-pack to go återvänder till MONDO. Sist vi körde blev det publikrekord och, håll i er, sent på kvällen var vissa tvungna att vända i dörren eftersom det blev fullt.

Nu kör vi igen. Lördagen 5 juni, 21-02 dunkar vi på den bästa repiga countryn som pressats på vinyl. Allt från Louvin Brothers och Johnny Cash till Maddox Brothers och Dolly Parton.

Som vanligt blir det country-quiz med fina priser och precis som sist kommer vi förmodligen få problem med att annonsera vinnarna. Vi jobbar dock på nån lösning.

Passa på att kika in på hemsidan, kolla bilder från sist eller varför inte önska en låt.

Grattis till framgångarna Micke & Daniel. Kör hårt, vi behöver ett ställe i Stockholm där man kan lyssna på countrymusik. JL.

Kære countryvenner
Lørdag den 12. juni 2004 kl. 11-13 holder jeg reception for min nye CD "Copy

hyggelige timer.
Mange hilsnen Anni Filt

Mer än så hade jag inte denna torsdagsmorgon. Vill ni höra låtarna på Radio Lidingö så går programmet i repris på lördag kl. 15.00. Dessvärre bara över Stor-Stockholm.

Titta på Bingolotto på söndag och Vikingarnas framträdande där. Lyssna då om ni kan höra en pedal steel. Förmodligen kan ni det! Åtminstone kommer jag att sitta framför TVn och lyssna på hur jag spelar!! Ha ett bra veckoslut!

Janne Lindgren

PS. Vill ni äta en jättegod lunch och är i Stockholm nu under sommaren. Gå till Fjällgatan och Hälsans Hus som inhyser en fin vegetarisk restaurang. Du äter här en utmärkt buffé för en hyfsad peng. Samtidigt kan ni titta på Stockholms ström från ovan. Mycket vackert. DS

Det här nyhetsmailet kommer till er mailadress torsdagar och söndagar.

Titta tillbaka på tidigare nyhetsblad på www.vingar.se eller www.country.vingar.se

Varsågoda, här kommer ett EXTRA nyhetsbrev med anledning av att Academy of Country Music har haft sin omröstning. Ni har hela vinnarlistan en bit ned i detta nyhetsmail! Jag plockar med lite andra nyheter samtidigt, då det hela tiden kommer mycket nytt. Ha nu en fin helg! Janne Lindgren

Hejsan Janne

Jag hörde just traxlistan på Polarradion för första gången och jag blev verkligen positivt överraskad. Jag har läst att du har en ny kvinnlig partner men det var en upplevelse att höra er tillsammans. Kompet är ju naturligtvis toppen med både steel och dobro, det är ingen överraskning när man känner till dej. Men tjejen!!!

Vilken röst hon har. Jag vill jämföra henne med Jeannie Kendall och det är ett mycket gott betyg från mej. Verkligen roligt att vi har fått en sådan fin begåvning i Sverige. Låtvalet vill jag också kommentera eftersom jag älskar den gamla stilen och Carter Family tillhör mina favoriter . Jag blir smått rörd.

Tack ska du ha Janne för ett fint jobb.

Med vänliga countryhälsningar från

Filip Flodman

Hej Filip och tack för mail!

Kul att du upptäckt oss på Traxlistan! www.polarradio.net Vi har legat där ett tag och det är roligt! Carolina är verkligen duktig och hon har ett naturligt sätt att sjunga countrymusik vilket är få förunnat! Hon är den största begåvningen för den här musikformen jag träffat på under mina 45 år i countrybranschen och då har jag även jobbat med många proffs som du säkert känner till.

Vår kommande fullCD kommer förhoppningsvis ut i slutet av sommaren, då vi just nu håller på att sammanställa inspelat material. Jag håller med om att Carter Familys gamla fina låtar alltid håller. Vi tar redan nu in beställningar på plattan som kommer att kosta omkring 150:- (tror jag).

JL.

Hej Janne,

Läste UNT idag och såg att du kommer till Parksnäckan med Kent Wennman och lirar Elvis, trevligt!

Får hoppas på att det blir fint väder...

Önska Country i radio, även i din dator.

När jag åker bil i Stockholm har jag lärt mig av busschaffisarna att ha på Radio Vinyl 107 för att alltid få aktuell trafikinformation.
De spelar bara engelskspråkig 60-tals-pop & rock & ibland lite country. Det går även att höra på Internet, speciellt om man har bredband.

http://www.vinyl107.se
När de hade sin årliga omröstning om Topp 500 låtarna tipsade jag på min country-sida folk att vara med och rösta fram country.
Med risk för att jag vid snabbtitt missat något blev resultatet som nedan, 10 i topp plus de countrylåtar jag hittade.
Den som ser när de har nästa omröstning kanske kan tipsa oss via Jannes nyhetsbrev? För även om det är fyllt av bra gamla godingar så ryms det väl mer country där?
Eftersom man kan lyssna och önska låtar via Internet så varför inte önska någon countrylåt?
Kolla vilka artister de har genom att klicka på "artistbiblioteket". Tyvärr framgår inte vilka skivor de har, men önska de populäraste eller något med "min favorit-country-artist XX". Nämn alltså gärna ordet "country". Du kan på hemsidan klicka på "Vinylönskningen" eller Eposta din önskelåt till: spela@vinyl107.se

Country star lands in Amarillo jail - The Amarillo Globe-News
A Texas-born country music star dogged by problems with the law ran into trouble in Amarillo on Wednesday. Doug Supernaw, 43, was in the Potter County Detention Center after being arrested on charges of possession of marijuana, less than 2 ounces, according to jail records. Bond was set at $1,500. Details about Supernaw's arrest were not available at press time.

Supernaw scored a No. 1 hit in 1993 with the song "I Don't Call Him Daddy." He also had Top 5 hits with "Reno" and "Not Enough Hours in the Night." Earlier this month, a district judge in Brenham declared a mistrial and set a new date to try Supernaw for bail jumping and failure to appear, according to an article in the Brenham Banner-Press.

Supernaw also is facing a felony charge of assault against a public servant in connection with a 2002 incident at a Brenham nightclub. Police responding to a disturbance claimed that Supernaw was drunk when he allegedly "berated and then flailed at several officers before being taken into custody," the Brenham paper reported. A Brenham jury trying Supernaw on misdemeanor charges related to that incident gave him a 14-day jail sentence and a fine for resisting arrest. After Supernaw did not show up for the trial on the felony charge, he was arrested and charged with jumping bail, according to the Brenham Banner-Press.

Folks thankful for Stanley museum, music trail
By RENA POWERS, Staff Writer

CLINTWOOD - Long after the ceremony was finished, people were still talking about old-time mountain music legend Dr. Ralph Stanley, the museum being created in his honor and the creation of a heritage music trail in the region.
People from throughout Southwest Virginia traveled to Clintwood last Wednesday morning to watch Gov. Mark Warner sign the bill creating Virginia's Heritage Music Trail: The Crooked Road.
Following the 10 a.m. ceremony, which took place on the front porch of the planned Ralph Stanley Museum and Traditional Mountain Music Center, many people gathered next door at the town's community center for refreshments.
Prepared by local Virginia Cooperative Extension staff, the menu included foods from the Appalachian Legacy line, mountain heritage foods endorsed by Stanley. The food line bears Stanley's name and likeness on the label.
"The event was wonderful and the rain just did not dampen the spirits of anyone, noted extension agent Phyllis Deel. Deel said last Wednesday's event was a collaborative effort of many people, including the Heart of Appalachia Tourism Authority.
"The ceremony was very meaningful, seeing the project come this far to fruition," added Deel, who has been a member of the music trail steering committee since its inception.
While food was the main focus inside the community center, others stood outside, umbrellas protecting them from the rain, discussing the trail and how Stanley has brought new recognition to the county.
"He has put us on the map and people know we are here," noted one woman.
"If Bill Monroe is the father of bluegrass music, Ralph Stanley must be its favorite uncle," said Scott Moore, chairman of the Dickenson County Board of Supervisors. "If anybody can listen to him sing 'Amazing Grace' and not get emotional - well, I can't imagine that happening," he said.
Stanley sings about the heart and soul of Southwest Virginia, noted Del. Clarence "Bud" Phillips, D-Sandy Ridge, who sponsored the trail legislation. "I believe the museum represents the heart and soul of Southwest Virginia," he noted.
Rita Forrester, daughter of Jeanette Carter and member of the board of directors of the Carter Fold, one of the trail's anchors, said she is delighted by the trail's creation.
"We are so rich in musical heritage and the Ralph Stanley Museum will give us another chance to let the world know just what we have here in the region," she added.
Bill Kornrich, coordinator of The Crooked Trail, described the museum as the trail's crown jewel.
Kornrich believes the trail and its venues will help boost tourism in the region. "It will have a major economic impact on the region and will promote not only the musical heritage and culture of the area, but its beautiful natural resources," he said.
Denise Gray, member of the museum's board of directors, said last Wednesday's ceremoney marked a significant day in the county's history. "It will forever change Dickenson County. We should all be grateful for the gift given to us by Ralph Stanley," noted Gray.
Robert Dowdy, of Salem, said it was a pleasure and an honor to be at the ceremony. He is the banjo player for The Bluegrass Brothers, the band selected to sing "The Crooked Road," which honors bluegrass and traditional country music. The song was written by noted singer/songwriter Tom T. Hall and his wife, Dixie.
"I have been performing bluegrass music for a long time and when the band first heard the song, we liked it and wanted to record it," he said. "It's a great song and we are excited about the trail."

Hi guys and gals,
There have been many tributes to Buddy Emmons. He is not unknown and we all have our own stories concerning our meetings and all the times we've heard him play. Having seen Buddy in Chattanooga this past weekend, it brought back my personal rush of memories from all the years I've known Buddy. I met him in 1955, spent 3 hours with him between shows backstage at the War Memorial Auditorium in Norfolk, VA. I was 14 and he was 17. The brake cable on my Vespa motor scooter broke on the way to the show where I met Buddy and he loaned me a bass string off his Bigsby triple neck to replace it so I could get home.

Several years later, 1960 I believe, I had $23.50 and had to get from Duncan, OK back to Norfolk, VA which was a 1500 mile drive in my worn out 1950 Mercury. Gasoline was 18-23 cents a gallon. Re-refined bulk oil in the glass quart jar was 15 cents a quart. Even at these low prices, I barely made it to Norfolk on the $23.50 which included a pack of cheese, a loaf of bread and all the water I could drink. At that time, Broadway Street in Nashville was the route you had to take to get through town. There were no bypasses or interstate routes around town. So as I was chugging through Nashville, I saw the Ernest Tubb record shop on my right, slammed on my brakes and thought, I'll go in there and see if they have any Buddy Emmons records. I parked, went in and asked the salesperson, "Have you any Buddy Emmons recordings here?" to which they replied, "We just sold out, however, Buddy just walked out of here, walked across the street to Tootsies to get a burger, go! ask him if he has any in his car."

I proceeded to run across the street. There was Buddy and Jimmy Day playing the pinball machines, prodding the jukebox and having a great time by themselves. I introduced myself and Buddy remembered me like it was yesterday. He offered to buy me a beer. My reply was only if I could have a hamburger to go with it because I'm broke and trying to get across country. Best hamburger I ever had!

These are but two of the great memories I have of Buddy Emmons early days. We aren't close today because our careers have taken us in different directions but my respect for his abilities and accomplishments knows no bounds. I worked the show this weekend in Chattanooga as did Buddy and had to smile at the memories he has given me over the past 50 years. Why am I saying this, you ask? Because I know of no other steel guitarist on the face of this earth who has inspired so many people and affected the style of steel guitar anymore than this incredible legend. I know you have your stories also, possibly someday you can tell me yours.

Your buddy, Bobbe Seymour

Jag har just fått hem en DVD av Buddy Emmons & Hal Rugg - Live At The Bell Cove från 9 juli 2002. Jag håller verkligen med Bobbe Seymour att det inte finns någon här på jorden som gjort så mycket fin reklam för pedal steel som Buddy Emmons. Hans fantastiska sound, teknik och uppfinnesrikedom har inspirerat många tusentals steel pickers världen över. Om man lyssnar och ser på den här plattan så är det ofattbart att någon kan spela som han gör. Hal Rugg är också lysande, men Buddy tar hem priset!

Om du gillar pedal steel guitar (C6th) så beställ denna DVD genom mig och du får den om ca. 1 månad. Priset är 250:- Plattan innehåller endast ett fåtal långsamma countrylåtar. Resten är jazz med mycket improvisation! JL.

Showen One Night With The King är en kärleksfull hyllning till sångaren, artisten och framför allt människan Elvis Presley, framförd av passionerade och välmeriterade musiker. Showen är också en värdig protest mot fenomen som Elvis lookalikes och soundalikes. Vi är övertygade om att Elvis musik är så oändligt mycket större än vad dessa kopior presterar.

Följ med på en resa som startar 1960 då Elvis återvänder från lumpen och åter igen intar tronen, denna gång som kungen av pop. Låtar som Little Sister, och Mess of blues visar att Elvis inte var en bortglömd rockkung, utan redo att möta sextiotalets musikaliska utmaningar.

Resan fortsätter till Hollywood där låtar som Bossa Nova Baby och Can’t help falling in love visar att allt var inte dåligt med Elvis filmår. Sen följer ett grammisnominerat gospelalbum, den berömda comebacken 1968, de fantastiska hitsen Suspicous Minds och In the Ghetto från hans omtalade American Recordings från 1969.

Showens andra del koncentrerar sig på ett turbulent sjuttiotal med hits som Burning Love, Always on my mind och Polk Salad Annie men där finns också mycket problem, skilsmässa och droger.

Showen avslutas med med Elvis ”showstoppers” American Trilogy och Bridge over troubled waters för att sedan kasta sig ut i en fest av gamla godingar som t ex One Night och All shook up.

Så här skrev UNT och Dalademokraten om bandets första CD:

”Elvis har ju blivit både kult och kitch, med en uppsjö mer eller mindre patetiska imitatörer som försöker både sjunga och se ut som the King. Det här bandet drar dock knappast på sig någon glittrig Las Vegas-stass. Deras Elvis-tolkningar är fullt seriösa, ganska lågmälda och avskalade och med en doft av countryrock. De tolkar låtarna på sitt eget sätt. Bäst lyckas de i den ganska krävande melodramen In the Ghetto, här som långsam och mjuk countryballad och den alldeles helgjutna Good time Charlie´s got the blues, liksom snärtare än Elvis originalversion. Jag höll på säga lika bra.” UNT

“Det låter inte som Elvis. Det handlar istället om att tolka låtarna, göra dem på ett annat sätt. Och så blir det bra också, alldeles förbannat bra till och med. Överlag kommer melodierna fram med lätt countryanstrykning. Det absolut sämsta med skivan är att det bara är 5 låtar. Det tredubbla hade inte varit fel.” Dalademokraten

”Jag kan bara säga att jag är imponerad, alla spår låter mycket bra! Bra arrangemang och sång framför allt. Inte alls "sound alike" eller "lookalike", men det är bara bra. Duktiga musiker och sångare behöver inte sådant och gör sig bäst som sig själv Arne Lund President of Elvis TCE Fanclub

I år, 2004, gästas showen av gospelkören Afrokören. Tillsammans framför de bl a det gospelmedley som Elvis gjorde succé med i TV-specialen 1968.

Bandet består av: Kent Wennman - berättare och sång, Thomas Arnesen - piano, Jan Karlsson - gitarr, Andreas Hellkvist - Hammondorgel, Patrik Robertsson - trummor, Sampo Axelsson - bas, Janne Lindgren - pedal steel guitar samt Afro-kören.

Bandet har vid sina 2 framträdanden i Uppsala Stadspark slagit publikrekord 2 år på raken. Det är tydligt att folk vill se en Elvis-konsert där musiken kommer i främsta rummet.

Okejdå! Det blir inte så mycket countrymusik i den här showen, men en hel del närbesläktade låtar framförs. JL.

COUNTRY TRAX

Lista nr 9, den 27/5 2004 samt utmanare (Nästa lista presenteras 10/6 19.00).

Det blev inga större förändringar på listan den senaste omgången - Country Minstrels och Lee Marvelous bytte plats, Jill Johnsson tog ett steg upp och Wildwood ersattes av jämtlänninge Ove Wulff.

Utmanarna är denna gång helsvenska och representerar landskapen Skåne, Gotland & Jämtland (+ Härjedalen och Dalarna). En helsvensk countrylista!!

Plac. Artist/Låt Veckor

UTMANARE YVONNE & THE QUICK PICKS "Miss you" (SWE)

Skivdebuterande norrländsk countrygrupp, ja medlemmarna är faktiskt spridda i både Jämtland, Härjedalen och Dalarna (ja, jag vet att Dalarna inte ligger i Norrland). Efter framgångar på lokala listor fick man tillräckligt självförtroende för att spela in och releasa en fullängds-CD med tre originallåtar och nio covers. "Miss you" är en av originallåtarna och är komponerad av Mullander/Hultgren/Kyrk.

UTMANARE HIGHWAY 40 "My o my" (SWE)

Ett skånskt countryband från Helsingborg/Landskrona. Bandet startade 1995 och släppte redan 2001 en fullängds-CD med titeln "The only way" och från den har vi hämtat spåret "My o my". Bandet består av Camilla Karlsson, Andre Nyberg, Ulf Asp, Lars Davidsson, Bertil "Babe" Sjunnesson, Stefan Krüger och Sören Madsen. I sommar kan man höra bandet vid Lida-festivalen och man spelar ofta även i Tyskland och Danmark.

UTMANARE RANCHEROS "Little cabin on the hill" (SWE)

Gotländsk country - visst låter det exklusivt. Och Rancheros hör faktiskt hemma på den stora ön i öster som med sin natur passar speciellt bra för countrymusik. Låten "Little cabin on the hill" är hämtad från bandets fullängds-CD som spelades in "live" hos Radio Gotland under 2002. Bandet består av Wincent Ullgren, Anders Lindby, Bengt Johansson, Jan Pettersson och Jan Magnusson.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Rösta så mycket ni kan på Traxlistan och helst då på de som verkligen spelar countrymusik. Annars gör vi oss själva en björntjänst! Många kallar sin musik country trots att den ibland ligger ljusår från själva kärnan. Ett lysande exempel är ovanstående lista. Men röstar ni rätt blir också listan rätt, enkelt eller hur? JL.
