Memphis ist einer der wichtigsten Orte in der Musikgeschichte. In der Beale Street traten von den 1920er bis in die 1940er Jahre Blues- und Jazzgrößen wie Louis Armstrong, Muddy Waters, Memphis Minnie oder B. B. King auf. Jeden Abend gibt es bis heute live Musik in den Bars in Downtown. Die meisten Besucher zieht Graceland an, etwa 650.000 Menschen jährlich pilgern zum Anwesen im Stadtteil Whitehaven, das von 1957 bis zu seinem Tod im Jahr 1977 Elvis Presleys Lebensmittelpunkt war. 1982 machte die ehemalige Ehefrau von Elvis, Priscilla Presley, das Haus der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich. Wer die frühere Farm-Villa durch die Eingangstür neben zwei imposanten Säulen betritt, steht zuerst in den Wohnräumen. Im Keller befinden sich ein Fernseh- und ein Billardzimmer mit einer Bar sowie der sogenannte Jungle Room, in dem Elvis 1976 seine letzten beiden Alben aufgenommen hat. Die Sammlung von Oldtimern und Flugzeugen zeigt, wie glamourös das Leben des King of Rock ´n´ Roll war. Viele Sänger starteten ihre Karrieren mit Gospel-Musik in Kirchen. Al Green, den das Musikmagazin Rolling Stone zu den besten 100 Sängern aller Zeiten zählte, wurde nach Schicksalsschlägen Baptistenprediger. Als Bishop Green empfängt er Gläubige in einem eigenen Gotteshaus an der Hale Road. Auch wer Freiluftkonzerte mag, ist am Mississippi genau richtig: Seit Mai 2024 findet am Ufer jenes Flusses, auf dem Mark Twains Romanhelden Tom Sawyer und Huckleberry Finn mit einem Floß stromabwärts fuhren, das Riverbeat-Festival statt. Nashville, die Hauptstadt des Bundesstaates Tennessee, ist ein idealer Start- oder Endpunkt für eine Reise und das Zentrum der kommerziellen Country-Musikszene. Singer-Songwritern bieten Bühnen wie der „Listening Room“ gute Chancen, von Managern entdeckt zu werden. Die Country Music Association (CMA) hat in Nashville ihren Hauptsitz. Die jährliche Verleihung der CMA Awards zählt zu den bedeutendsten Veranstaltungen Tennessees. In der Country Music Hall of Fame oder im National Museum of African American Music können Fans stundenlang Filmszenen und persönliche Gegenstände ihrer Lieblingsstars ansehen. Die Gitarrenfirma Gibson Guitar Corporation ist ebenfalls aus Nashville und zeigt ihre besten Instrumente in einer Garage.

On this episode, legendary singer-songwriter Darius Rucker joins Everything Fab Four to share how he first discovered the Beatles at five, and which Beatles album he thinks is the “most perfect album ever made.” Rucker first achieved multi-Platinum status in the music industry as lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the GRAMMY Award-winning band Hootie & the Blowfish, who have sold more than 25 million albums worldwide. Their Double Diamond-certified (21x Platinum) debut Cracked Rear View remains among the best-selling studio albums of all time. Since releasing his first country album in 2008, Rucker has earned four No. 1 albums on the Billboard Country chart, 10 No. 1 singles at Country radio, and 11 Gold, Platinum or multi-Platinum certified hits. Rucker was also inducted as a Grand Ole Opry member in 2012, and his GRAMMY-winning version of “Wagon Wheel,” has become one of the top five best-selling Country songs of all time. His brand-new album Carolyn's Boy is available everywhere now and his first book, a memoir titled “Life's Too Short,” is set for release via Dey Street Books on May 28th. A lifelong philanthropist, Rucker co-chaired the campaign that generated $150 million to help build the MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children's Hospital in his hometown of Charleston, S.C., and has raised over $3.6 million for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital through his annual Darius & Friends benefit concert and golf tournament. In addition, Rucker has advocated for over 200 charitable causes supporting public education and junior golf programs in South Carolina through the Hootie & the Blowfish Foundation and serves as a National Chair for the National Museum of African American Music in Nashville, Tennessee. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/everythingfabfour/support

On this episode of The Construction Record Podcast™, digital media editor Warren Frey speaks with Nashville-based Brandon Mason, the president of BCMason Group about his work as a contractor on both community-based and large-scale projects in the city. Mason said he grew up around construction and after work across North America with other firms he set out on his own path, starting with projects in Nashville's African-American neighbourhoods that reflect his commitment to giving back to his own community. He's also worked on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the area at varying levels of complexity and reflected on working on a project at Fisk University where his mother was once a student. Mason's latest project was contributing to the National Museum of African American Music which he pointed to as an uplifting and collaborative experience with African-American construction firms working at all levels of the project.

In this episode, Will (and unfortunately not Neil) sits down with Dr. Kathy Bullock, a Professor Emerita of Berea College where she focused on African American Music and Music Theory. Dr. Bullock explains the musical connections of African American Music and traditional Appalachian Music she came to better understand while she taught in the Appalachian region. As the Appalachian region can be complex, Dr. Bullock shares her experience moving to the region and her deep sentiments for Berea and the region she has made a home in. Take a listen as she describes how musical connections occurred throughout the region and how our interpretations of the sound and movements are not all that different. You might also hear Dr. Bullock's own voice throughout the episode. Also, don't forget the #AppBiz of the week: John C. Campbell Folk School!

Celeste Day Moore is a historian of African American culture, media, and Black internationalism in the twentieth century. Her first book, Soundscapes of Liberation: African American Music in Postwar France (Duke University Press, 2021), was awarded the Gilbert Chinard Prize from the Society for French Historical Studies. Her research has appeared in American Quarterly, the Journal of African American History, and the first edited volume of the African American Intellectual History Society (AAIHS). She received her doctorate from the University of Chicago and has been a fellow at the Institut d'Études Politiques in Paris and the Carter G. Woodson Institute for African-American and African Studies at the University of Virginia. As an associate professor of history at Hamilton College, she teaches courses on African American history as well as histories of empire, race, Black internationalism, and U.S. international relations. In Soundscapes of Liberation, Celeste Day Moore traces the popularization of African American music in postwar France, where it signaled new forms of power and protest. Moore surveys a wide range of musical genres, soundscapes, and media: the US military's wartime records and radio programs; the French record industry's catalogs of blues, jazz, and R&B recordings; the translations of jazz memoirs; a provincial choir specializing in spirituals; and US State Department-produced radio programs that broadcast jazz and gospel across the French empire. In each of these contexts, individual intermediaries such as educators, producers, writers, and radio deejays imbued African American music with new meaning, value, and political power. Their work resonated among diverse Francophone audiences and transformed the lives and labor of many African American musicians, who found financial and personal success as well as discrimination in France. By showing how the popularity of African American music was intertwined with contemporary structures of racism and imperialism, Moore demonstrates this music's centrality to postwar France and the convergence of decolonization, the expanding globalized economy, the Cold War, and worldwide liberation movements. Annie deSaussure, holds a Ph.D. in French from Yale University and is an Assistant Professor of French and Francophone Studies in the Department of Languages and Literary Studies at Lafayette College. Her work focuses on minority regional languages, literatures, and cultures in contemporary France, with a focus on the region of Brittany, the historical and artistic dimensions of radio in France, and podcasting.

Steven Lewis, a Curator of Music and Performing Arts at the Smithsonian, notes that “African American influences are so fundamental to American music there would be no American music without them.” Jon Beebe, a Jazz pianist, professional musician, and an interpretive ranger at the New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park, leads us on an exploration of how and why African rhythms and beats came to play important roles in the musical history and musical evolution of the Untied States.
