Episode 16 features a backstage interview with North Dakota-born singer Brennen Leigh, following her July performance at Fargo Brewing Company. Also, Tom talks with singer-songwriter Jim Lauderdale, and shares memories of former Grand Forks mayor Pat Owens.

BRENNEN LEIGH is a songwriter, guitar player, mandolin player and singer whose storytelling style has elevated her to cult icon status in Europe, Scandinavia, the United States, South America and the United Kingdom. Her traditional country is from the same cloth as Patsy Cline and Marty Stuart. Her songs have been recorded by Lee Ann Womack, Rodney Crowell and many others.  JILL ANDREWS is an acclaimed singer-songwriter who gives the unsung the voice they have always deserved. From her days fronting lauded Americana group, the everbodyfields, to her successful solo career as a writer and performer, Andrews' music has taken her far from her East Tennessee home. Musically, there are echoes of the Indigo Girls' more folksy side, especially since Andrews' voice bears a passing similarity to that of Emily Saliers. Johnathan Moore is a 13-year-old singer, songwriter and guitarist from Eastern Kentucky.

Brennen Leigh is an American songwriter, guitar player, mandolin player and singer whose to-the-point storytelling style has elevated her to cult status around the world. On this episode, she joins Rhett to talk about her new album, Ain't Through Honky Tonkin' Yet, being an artist in the age of digital, and the sacrifices that touring musicians make. Brennen explains how she gained confidence as an artist, and shares insight into her songwriting process, including how she determines whether a song is good enough for people to hear. Brenne Leigh's songs have been recorded by Lee Ann Womack, Rodney Crowell, Sunny Sweeney, Charley Crockett, and many others. As renowned for her musicianship as for her writing, it's easy to see how Leigh caught the ear of greats like Guy Clark and David Olney. Awash in full-throttle fiddle, weeping steel guitar, a sprinkling of heavenly backing vocals, and anchored by her warm, expressive vocals, her latest album is an emotion-packed revelation.  Brennen Leigh website Rhett Miller website Follow Rhett @rhettmiller Wheels Off is hosted and produced by Rhett Miller.

Awash in full-throttle fiddle, weeping steel guitar, a sprinkling of heavenly backing vocals, and anchored by her warm, expressive vocals, Leigh's latest album is an emotion-packed revelation. Rooted in vintage country, Ain't Through Honky Tonkin' Yet is an unapologetically beer-and tear-soaked homage to an era when hard-country weepers burst forth from AM transistor radios. The album's country roots run deep, with guests like Marty Stuart and Rodney Crowell and a lineup of top-flight musicians.

It's a good day, because we get to talk about Satan. Okay, let's clarify that, actually. We're sitting down with singer-songwriter Brennen Leigh to discuss Satan is Real by the Louvin Brothers. Country music is full of fascinating corners and Satan is Real is no exception. You'll hear many artists cite the Louvin Brothers as an important inspiration and we dig into that topic with Brennen to get her own insights on that subject.We also talk about Brennen's latest album, Ain't Through Honky Tonkin' Yet (what a title!) and her plans for the fall -- among many other things. Sadly, her roosters nearby did not make a major ruckus. We were hoping for it.Our thanks to Brennen for spending time with us!If you dig these episodes, please consider supporting our Patreon.

Episode 253: Brennen Leigh moved decisively beyond the pandemic and the end of a long partnership to release three remarkable albums in less than three years. They tell a story of a traditional country artist with a strong point of view and a keen eye for character and humor. Prairie Love Letter was inspired by growing up in rural Minnesota where she developed a love for picking and singing. The western swing project Obsessed With The West taps a friendship she made with Asleep At The Wheel during her years in Austin. Her latest is old school Nashville country with Ain't Through Honky Tonkin' Yet. Craig and Brennen talk about it all.

In this week's episode we're featuring the debut full-length album for Texan Summer Dean: "Bad Romantic" (2021). Born in Clay County, Texas and country as a dirt clod, there's been a lot of living in the three or more years between Dean's first EP "Unladylike" in 2016 and "Bad Romantic": growing comfortable in herself and her situation served as inspiration for many of the album's tracks (six of which Dean wrote or co-wrote). Seems to this reviewer that the first half of the LP could have been done in consultation with Waylon and Haggard, and Dean's Texas dancehall roots are showing on the second; Jess Meador's rising fiddle intro from "Hey Mister" recalls in no uncertain terms the very best of Johnny's Bush's material. Well chosen covers from modern day songsmiths Simon Flory and Brennen Leigh match beautifully with contributions from Leona Williams and Linda Hargrove, all tied together with Dean's vocal, wonderfully worn around the edges: honest and working class. A sterling shuffle in "Three Timin' Game" follows on from "Distracted" (dripping in co-producer Kevin Skrla's steel) and Hargrove's "Blue Jean Country Queen" seems to fit Dean like a glove. Summer Dean fills a gap in the greater roots music scene nationwide with "Bad Romantic": a lack of good ol' hardcore Texas country music, heavy on the attitude, fiddle and steel. And I'm sure glad about it.

I love acoustic guitar covers. They're so good for calming my nerves, and they always sound so nice. But with so many to choose from, it can be hard to find the best ones! So in this video I'm sharing ten of my favorites that are perfect for relaxing or inspiring you to pick up your guitar. So, how are we going to talk about these acoustic guitar covers? We'll talk about the cover, why I picked it, and give you a quick sample in the video to see if it's up your alley. All of the songs I pick today highlight some incredible acoustic guitarist. There isn't a dull moment in this countdown, and I promise the list gets better and better the closer we get to the #1 spot! In addition to talking about acoustic guitar covers, you'll get a chance to work on a guitar lick title "You Hoser"...I'll explain it all in the video! But just know that you'll be flatpicking up a storm in the key of G. Last but not least, you'll get my picks for acoustic guitar news you can use.

Esa duplicidad natural es palpable en los seis temas de su nuevo Ep, Hurricane, con una amplia lista de colaboraciones que consiguen convertir un lamento en la celebración del poder de la música para aliviar los problemas del alma. The High Hawks es otra de esas formaciones a la que le viene perfecta la palabra supergrupo. Hace un par de años se reunieron en las Rocky Mountains de Colorado para preparar una serie de conciertos y han terminado completando su disco de debut conjunto. Nuestro salto obligado a Texas nos reencuentra con la Chad Cooke Band y su difícil equilibrio entre preservar las tradiciones y la seducción de la escena de Music City. En una dimensión bien distinta Jason Boland & The Stragglers preparan un nuevo disco producido por Shooter Jennings pero deja una curiosa versión de “Back in the High Life” de Stevie Winwood que entonaba sin cesar durante el aislamiento. Jason Eady publicará a finales de agosto el álbum Passage of Time, una especie de estallido de creatividad en plena cuarentena con la producción de Gordy Quist de Band of Heathens que ha despojado a la grabación de cualquier elemento que pueda distraer sobre su contenido. David "Fergie" Ferguson ha sido uno de los personajes que casi desde el anonimato ha reavivado la insurgencia contra la escena de Nashville. Ahora ha decidido salir de la cabina y ponerse delante del micrófono completando un álbum, Nashville No More, que será su disco de debut con 58 años. Justo al contrario, con tan solo 25 años aparece Brock Gonyea. Where My Heart Is es un Ep que recoge las enseñanzas musicales de su familia, de la región de Adirondack, en el estado de Nueva York, donde ha estado trabajando en la madera hasta que una versión de “Hello Walls” de Willie Nelson colgada en su Facebook despertó el interés de la industria. Suzy Boggus sigue haciendo magia y acaba de publicar "Sunday Birmingham", un tema escrito y coproducido con Doug Crider, su marido y colaborador desde sus comienzos, cuando escuchamos su debut que la convirtió en una de las vocalistas femeninas clave para la regeneración del country en los 90. Bruce Robison ha vuelto a abrir The Bunker para acoger en esta ocasión a la canadiense Whitney Rose, que quiere volver a la normalidad y nos sorprende con una versión junto a Brennen Leigh de “Joey”, uno de los cortes de Bloodletting, el tercer álbum de los californianos Concrete Blonde. Para despedir este programa lleno de nostalgia ha sido perfecto el ambiente creado por Dylan LeBlanc en su nuevo EP, Pastimes, donde ha querido homenajear a los artistas que le inspiraron a nivel musical y espiritual. Entre ellos está Glen Campbell, que hizo grande el mítico "Gentle On My Mind". Escuchar audio

On Episode 174, I'm joined by Texas songwriter Summer Dean, who announced her forthcoming album, Bad Romantic, is set for release on August 27. In addition, she shared the first single, a lonesome country aching duet with Colter Wall called "You're Lucky She's Lonely." During this conversation, Dean and I talk about co-writing with Wall, collaborating with contemporaries like Brennen Leigh and Simon Flory, the influences behind Bad Romantic, songwriting, and Dust Bowl inspirations.This episode's presenting partner is Desert Door Texas Sotol.

Brandi Carlile acaba de hacer pública su reciente versión de "Take Me Home, Country Roads" de John Denver como avance del próximo spin-off de El Silencio de los corderos que la cadena CBS ha titulado Clarice, el nombre de la protagonista de la novela de Thomas Harris. Es una buena forma de abrir un programa sobre la actualidad de la Americana. Sarah Jarosz también se ha inclinado por hacer algunas curiosas versiones en este tiempo de pandemia. Extraído de la serie de NPR Morning Edition Song Project, la tejana nos ha sorprendido cantando simplemente con un micro y su guitarra “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” que U2 llevaron a su quinto álbum The Joshua Tree en 1987. Ese concepto de hogar de estos tiempos es la excusa de Rhiannon Giddens y Francesco Turrisi para completar un nuevo álbum, They're Calling Me Home, donde recuerdan incluso a Alice Gerrard. “Midnight Train To Georgia” es una composición de Jim Weatherly convertida en todo un himno de la música sureña. El nativo de Mississippi ha muerto el pasado día 3 y hemos querido que Joan Osborne recordará aquel tema antológico. También es tiempo de celebrar un cuarto de siglo de una discográfica independiente dedicada a la Americana. Se publica Golden Age: 25 Years of Signature Sounds donde podemos encontrar grabaciones de Josh Ritter, Lake Street Dive, Chris Smither, Lori McKenna, Zoe Muth o Eilen Jewell, una de nuestras favoritas. Brennen Leigh, una mujer con una facilidad especial para contar historias creíbles que han sido interpretadas por artistas bien conocidos, ha querido que su sexto álbum, Prairie Love Letter, sea un homenaje a su natal Minnesota. Ten Penny Gypsy, desde Arkansas, son un dúo que en su segundo LP, Fugitive Heart, es un oasis sonoro que se convierte en necesario en estos tiempos. De igual manera no debería dejar pasar inadvertido a Mac Leaphart, de Carolina del Sur y con un álbum como Music City Joke que es una cosa seria en la que a veces es Bob Dylan, otras es John Prine y también nos recuerda a Jerry Jeff Walker. En ese sentido, Jared Tyler, habitual acompañante de las últimas visitas de Malcolm Holcombe se ha puesto al frente de Saugeye, un proyecto compartido con otros cuatro okies y cuyo nombre tiene que ver con ese pez híbrido que también define a la perfección su música. Bo Armstrong es un tejano de Dallas que se enmarca en la sencillez de un álbum Chasing Ballads, donde reconoce el pasado y se motiva de cara al futuro. Nuestra despedida tiene que ver con el álbum That’s Life, la última entrega discográfica de Willie Nelson y el segundo de sus álbumes dedicado a Frank Sinatra, que nos deja una colaboración de Diana Krall, la pianista canadiense, que se ha acercado algo más a la Americana desde que se casó en 2003 con Elvis Costello.

Jamie Coffis talks by phone with Brennan Leigh, a new artist here at the pig - and we're quite fond of. Her songs have been recorded by Lee Ann Womack, Rodney Crowell, Sunny Sweeney, Charley Crockett, and many others. As renowned for her musicianship as for her writing, it's easy to see how Leigh caught the ear of greats like Guy Clark, who colorfully endorsed her flatpicking: "Brennen Leigh plays guitar like a motherf******," and David Olney, who described her writing as "tender, violent, sentimental, foolish and wise. Her new record, "Prarie Love Letter," was produced by Robbie Fulks.

Episode 149: Randall Bramblett is a powerhouse journeyman and veteran of southern roots and soul music, with a dense and deep resume working for others, from the Allman Brothers to Widespread Panic. But between his stints as a sax player, keyboardist, singer and songwriter he's released more than ten albums as an artist, and his fans know them to be a blend of sharp writing, a sensuous voice and spicy beats and ambience. The newest is Pine Needle Fire on New West Records, Bramblett's loyal home since 2001. Also in the hour, a visit with Nashville's Brennen Leigh about her nostalgic thematic album Prairie Love Letter. 

The guys welcome musician Brennen Leigh to talk about The Byrds foray into country music with their record “Sweetheart of the Radio” from 1968. Plenty of other discussion including Brennen’s new record “Prairie Love Letter” and John Deere H tractors, Robbie Fulks, Gram Parsons, Louvin Brothers, Dylan (how can you not with a Byrds record), Lloyd Green on the steel, and making the Opry audience upset.

La salida de esta pandemia va a suponer cambios importantes en las más diversas facetas en nuestras vidas. La música tiene para muchos de nosotros una importancia casi capital que, por supuesto, no ensombrece en absoluto, otras prioridades. Al contrario, en ocasiones, sirve de apoyo y nos ayuda a paliar de alguna forma la inquietud y la incertidumbre. Por eso no podemos dejar de aplaudir iniciativas que apoyan una #CulturaSegura y propuestas como Lu's Jukebox In Studio Concert Series, una serie digital de conciertos temáticos nacidos en los días del Covid, ya grabados en directo por Lucinda Williams y su banda en el estudio que el productor Ray Kennedy tiene en Nashville. Se trata de seis episodios de los artistas de Louisiana incorpora alguna sorpresa. Los programas se emitirán en streaming bajo pago y se prevé que se editen posteriormente en CD y vinilo. Lu's Jukebox recaudará fondos para ayudar fundamentalmente a las salas de conciertos y promotores, recibiendo un porcentaje de la venta de entradas. Lucinda Williams, grabó en 1988 su tercer álbum, de título homónimo, donde incluyó “Changed The Locks”, una canción que Tom Petty incluiría junto a los Heartbreakers en Songs and Music from the Motion Picture "She's the One", el noveno álbum de estudio del grupo que, además, sirvió como banda sonora a la película que dirigió Edward Burns. Hoy ha abierto nuestro tiempo de radio, en el que vamos a precisar el pulso de la Americana. Ha pasado poco más de un año desde la edición del disco de debut de las Highwomen, y nos surgen ciertas dudas sobre el papel de Maren Morris en la formación, mientras han ido tomando cada vez más relevancia las apariciones de Sheryl Crow y Yola, que fueron invitadas a aquel registro y han participado en las pocas apariciones en directo del supergrupo. La actualidad nos ha regalado una nueva canción surgida de las sesiones de aquel álbum junto al productor Dave Cobb. La protagonista es la británica Yola acompañada, eso sí, por Brandi Carlile y Natalie Hemby en los coros, Sheryl Crow al piano y Jason Isbell en la guitarra. "Hold On" es una especie de conversación con la próxima generación de jóvenes negros en la que se les pide que ocupen su espacio, sean visibles y muestren su talento. Destiny Hotel es la mejor secuela posible de That Santa Fe Channel, el álbum de 2018 para Cordovas, en el que no ocultaba sus inclinaciones por Grateful Dead. Además, el grupo que lidera Joe Firstman ha extendido ahora sus afectos hacia The Band, con armonías vocales y ritmos entrecortados propios de la mítica formación canadiense, sumando también retazos de las raíces sureñas de los Allman Brothers. Al fin y al cabo, este nuevo trabajo rememora los mejores sonidos que se escucharon durante la década de los 70. El tono de nostalgia y ternura de este trabajo grabado en Los Angeles se muestra en “Afraid No More”, una balada de alto voltaje en la que se apuesta por vivir sin miedo en un momento como el actual frente a la paranoia y la ansiedad, utilizando la imagen del final del verano. Como ocurre a lo largo de las 10 canciones de este nuevo proyecto, encontramos calidez y energía positiva. Otro de los invitados a la aventura sonora de The Next Waltz ha sido Charley Crockett, que ha participado en el tercer volumen de las grabaciones realizadas en The Bunker con esta versión de “I Can Help”, la canción por la que todo el mundo recuerda a Billy Swan, un músico crecido escuchando a Hank Williams y Lefty Frizzell, además de recibir la influencia de artistas de rock'n'roll como Buddy Holly y Jerry Lee Lewis. Billy Swan, que había recibido algún dinero al perder un ojo en un accidente, se marchó a Memphis, Tennessee, desde su Missouri natal y después a Nashville, donde en principio sólo encontró un puesto de portero en los estudios de Columbia. Allí vio grabar parte de Blonde On Blonde a Bob Dylan y conoció a quién sería uno de sus grandes amigos, Kris Kristofferson. El productor Chip Young le invitó a grabar en Monument y empezó versionando el clásico de Hank Williams "Wedding Bells". Pero Billy Swan había recibido un órgano eléctrico portátil como regalo de bodas de Kristofferson y Rita Coolidge y en aquel instrumento nacieron las notas de "I Can Help" añadiendo la letra en muy pocos minutos inspirado por el embarazo de su mujer. Fue el más rotundo éxito de su carrera, encabezando las listas de country y de pop en 1974 con un reconocimiento internacional inimaginable. Por entonces, llegó a visitar España en una inesperada visita para promocionar el álbum del mismo título. Pero regresó con Kristofferson como miembro básico de su banda de acompañamiento y pasó prácticamente al anonimato. Entre las innumerables personas afectadas por la actual pandemia del COVID-19 se encuentran los músicos. Como estamos observando según pasan los días, las semanas y los meses, muchos de ellos se han puesto a la tarea de hacer la transición hacia los días inciertos que se avecinan. Ellos siguen creando y compartiendo sus creaciones con quienes hasta hace muy poco éramos sus oyentes y espectadores más fieles. Aunque los tejanos Flatland Cavalry grabaron "War With My Mind" antes del confinamiento para el sello The Next Waltz de Bruce Robison, esta canción nació de sentimientos de autoaislamiento, que ahora nos son demasiado familiares. Fue compuesta por su líder, Cleto Cordero junto a su novia, la también cantante y compositora Kaitlin Butts, y es ahora el momento en que ve la luz. El álbum The Next Waltz Volume Th3ee se pondrá a la venta el próximo 27 de noviembre con 10 canciones grabadas en The Bunker, localizado en Lockhart, Texas, sin lo que Bruce Robison llama “travesuras digitales”. Además de Charley Crokett, músicos como Jack Ingram, Flatland Cavalry, The Panhandlers, Cody Canada o David Ramirez, entre otros, han participado en esas sesiones. Y también pasó por allí Robert Ellis que realizó esta versión de "I Must Be In A Good Place Now", una de las canciones más hermosas de Bobby Charles. El legendario músico de Louisiana ya había sido elegido por Bruce Robison y Kelly Willis para incluir en este álbum "Tennessee Blues". Ethan Johns, un productor curtido al lado de nombres tan eclécticos y sonoros como Ray LaMontagne, Paul McCartney o Kings of Leon, ha sido el encargado de trabajar al lado de Mary Chapin Carpenter, a la que se llevó hasta los estudios Real World de Peter Gabriel en Bath, al suroeste de Inglaterra, para grabar The Dirt And The Stars, el nuevo álbum de la cantante compositora de Nueva Jersey, que explora los desafíos del presente desde una visión íntima y personal. Mary Chapin compuso estas canciones en su granja de Virginia antes de la pandemia, y deja momentos tan intensos como “Secret Keepers”, un recordatorio de aquellas experiencias irremplazables que nunca desaparecen. Que las cicatrices desaparezcan no significa que lo haga el dolor que las produjeron. Ella es Robynn Shayne, cantante y compositora residente en Austin desde hace siete años, a la que es fácil encontrar sobre los escenarios del Saxon Pub o el Continental Club. En realidad el músico de la familia era su hermano Shane, pero tras su muerte con tan solo 20 años, ella decidió aprender a tocar la guitarra de forma autodidacta para contar sus vivencias bajo la influencia de Dolly Parton, Jessi Colter y los sonidos de los Strangers de Merle Haggard. Su último single, "Devil You Know", es la entrada más alta de la lista semanal de canciones más pinchadas en las emisoras de Texas. Forma parte de su cuarto álbum de estudio, Let's Get This Show on The Road, y habla sobre ciertas situaciones en las que no deberías estar y no sabes a ciencia cierta si es mejor marcharte o quedarte. En conjunto, este trabajo es especialmente emotivo y viene a continuar el éxito de su predecesor, Coffee Days and Whiskey Nights, que llegó a ser nominado a álbum del año en 2018 por la Texas Country Music Association. Suponemos que “Burn My Bridges” es el adelanto de un nuevo proyecto para Michaela Anne, que vuelve a contar con el apoyo de Kelly Winrich y Sam Outlaw en la producción de una canción que surgió en una mañana de resaca tras una noche intensa en la que decidió que su vida tenía que cambiar de rumbo y para ello debía quemar ciertos puentes. Esta joven neoyorquina de Brooklyn establecida en Nashville ha padecido las circunstancias de la pandemia que le han impedido apoyar como merecía su tercer álbum, Desert Rose, que se editaba a finales de septiembre del año pasado. Si miras los créditos de algunas canciones que hayan grabado Lee Ann Womack, Sunny Sweeney, Charley Crockett e incluso Rodney Crowell, encontrarás como compositora a Brennen Leigh, una mujer con una facilidad especial para contar historias creíbles. Tiene ya seis álbumes y el último de ellos, Prairie Love Letter, ha sido producido por Robbie Fulks para rendir homenaje a su lugar de procedencia, la frontera entre el oeste de Minnesota y el este de Dakota del Norte y que viene a resumir sus sentimientos en el tema de apertura “Don’t You Know I’m From Here” donde la tradición y las raíces se muestran en cada nota. Hace varios meses, antes de la llegada del verano, anticipamos en TOMA UNO que Sturgill Simpson estaba grabando un álbum de bluegrass, el estilo de música propio de su estado natal, Kentucky. También fue ayer el día elegido para editarlo bajo el nombre genérico de Cuttin’ Grass Vol. 1 - The Butcher Shoppe Sessions, grabado en ese estudio de Nashville con músicos del nivel de Stuart Duncan, Mike Bub, Sierra Hull, Scott Vestal, Tim O’Brien, Mark Howard y su batería de siempre, Miles Miller. El encargado de la producción ha sido David “Ferg” Ferguson. Son 20 canciones en las que recorre su propia carrera en solitario y sus aventuras como miembro de Sunday Valley. Entre las canciones de sus álbumes en solitario, ha retomado de esta forma “Long White Line”, uno de los cortes de Metamodern Sounds In Country Music, que produjo Dave Cobb en 2014 y que supuso el segundo de su carrera, grabado con 4.000 dólares en cinco días y medio. Cualquier movimiento de Sturgill Simpson no suele pasar inadvertido, pero en este caso la sorpresa es evidente con esta revisión tan particular de algunas de las canciones de sus discos anteriores. Así ha ocurrido con “All Around You”, que abre este Cuttin’ Grass Vol. 1 - The Butcher Shoppe Sessions, y que fue una de las piezas de A Sailor's Guide To Earth de hace cuatro años, un tercer disco que superó todas las previsiones, dando un notable giro a su andadura y logrando llegar a la cima de las listas y conseguir un Grammy al mejor disco de country. “All Around You” ya fue uno de los cortes más reconocibles y cercanos de aquel trabajo que ahora en esta versión parece perfecto para paisajes agrestes y saludables.

In this episode of New Slang, I’m joined by singer-songwriter Brennen Leigh. At the end of this week (Friday, September 18), Leigh released Prairie Love Letter, a worthy ode to her roots and childhood home, the rural open plains of Western Minnesota and Eastern North Dakota. Part Will Cather and part Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska, Prairie Love Letter has an earnest pioneering spirit--a balanced blend of tough and tender. Songs like "I Love the Lonesome Prairie," "The John Deere H," and "There's a Yellow Cedar Waxwing on the Juneberry Bush" are soaked with family tradition and lore. They're for dinner tables in your grandmother's kitchen or while huddling around wood-burning stoves. You get a sense of time and place in songs like these. Other songs like "Prairie Funeral" and "Billy and Beau," while most certainly given the same warm touch from Leigh and most certainly are a valuable piece of Prairie Love Letter, they transcend time and place. They're beautiful, and somewhat bittersweet, love stories that feel no boundaries. Still, Leigh doesn't just capture the nostalgic glow of home on Prairie Love Letter. "You Ain't Laying No Pipeline" and "You've Never Been To North Dakota" are necessary examinations and filled with hard truths. There's struggle and strife--and again, that enduring pioneer spirit. During this interview, Leigh and I talk about the specific traditions, roots, and inspirations nestled within Prairie Love Letter, anecdotes from home, the stories behind some of the album's most poignant songs, her songwriting routines, and stories about Guy Clark.This episode's presenting partner is Desert Door Texas Sotol.

 This week I’m talking with my friend Bobby Rymer who owns the publishing company Writer’s Den Music Group in Nashville. He’s worked his way from the bottom to the top of record labels and publishing companies in the music industry and has a career that has spanned over 35 years. We are discussing the process of working your way up the ladder at publishing companies and record labels, the importance of knowing the history of the music industry, what publishers are looking for when signing new writers and the best venues to play in Nashville to get noticed by industry insiders.Show Notes:Sponsors: Edenbrooke Productions - We offer consulting services and are offering listeners a 1-hour introductory special. To request more info on consulting services, email Marty at contact@johnmartinkeith.com. Talking Points:*I own Writer’s Den Music Group. As a publisher I have a day gig and a night gig.*During the day I pitch songs and have meetings, etc. At night I go to showcases and meet writers and artists.*Spend money smartly.*Look over your options at what you want to accomplish and how.*You don’t have to have an office anymore if you have a laptop and a phone you can do most of your work that way.*I was doing social work and realized it was not my passion and I decided to go back to school to get a degree in the music business.*My friend got a job at Capitol Records in the mail room and called and asked if I would be interested in his old job at a record store. Then 9 months later he called saying he got promoted and asked if I wanted my name put in for the mail room job at Capitol.*The mail room at a record label is the bottom of the totem pole which is where most people have to start.*Get in anyway you can and prove your worth.*Ask yourself “how bad do you want it?”*Internships and a course called "Copyright Law" are worth their weight in gold.*You really don’t start to understand how the music industry works until you’re in it working everyday and making relationships and learning how things are done.*I got to sit in on meetings and learn how you find talent and find songs.*If you can, try to work out a smaller company because you will stand out more as opposed to a larger company that just churns interns out every semester.*After about a year and a half an opening came up in A&R and I was able to move up because the label looked within before looking out.*My main job in A&R was to go out and find songs for the artists on the label by meeting with the publishers in town.*If you want to consider the music business for a career, you better know your history.*When looking for songs for artists, I would sit with the label heads after they talked with the artists to know what they were looking for.*You go out and find songs you’re passionate about and the come back and see if there’s a home for it on the label.*You have to listen to songs and see if they are checking off the boxes of things you are looking for to fit an artist.*When you are reaching out to labels or publishers, you better know who they are and the history of people they’ve worked with and what they’ve done and you better know who they are working for now.*Get Billboard Magazine and make sure you know every artist, label, producer and writer and study the charts so it becomes second nature. That is where you start. You shouldn’t have to pause when someone asks who produced or wrote the latest hit is.*Before you knock on a door or make a phone call to a company, understand who you are talking to because if you don’t they will quickly realize that you don’t want this bad enough or you haven’t done your homework.*I was A&R for about 4 years at Capitol, then there was a regime change and lost that job.*Opportunity is not going to knock on your door, you have to go out and meet it.*I kept having meetings and eventually bumped into a publisher I knew who used to play me songs and he offered me a job as a tape copier at the music publisher Almo-Irving.*Even though it was a step back from where I had been, I wanted to stay in the industry and I got the job as the tape copy, which is the ground floor at a publishing company.*A tape copy made copies of 8-10 songs on a tape and put together lyrics and a label for publishers to take to pitch meetings.*The tape copy is the best place to start at a publishing company because that’s where you learn the catalog and the songs and writers.*The writers would come down with new songs and you would put the songs in the system so you get to spend time with the writers and build relationships.*I was tape copy for about 3 years learning until a vacancy came open and I naturally moved up to song plugger.*I realized that publishing is all I ever want to do because I get to work creators who make things out of thin air and I get to help find a home for it.*A song plugger is being aware of the labels in town, the artists in town and your job is to find a home for these songs. sometimes it’s find new writers and bringing them in to the company.*As a songwriter show up and do the work and always have your antenna up because you never know where a song idea will come from.*Some songs in a publishing catalog don’t see the light of day after a while because they have a time stamp on them using certain language and melodies from the time it was written and the language and melodies maybe different now than they were then and those things change.*Maybe the song is there but the demo is dated and will turn someone off even if it’s a great song.*If the song will take it, I like demos with acoustic instruments. Don’t go crazy with reverb. Maybe do a glorified work tape and the demo has the chance of having a longer shelf life because they aren’t dating it with certain tones and sounds.*The guitar/piano vocal demo is great because that’s the way I hear it when the writer plays it for me and there is nothing getting in the way of the lyric and the melody.*If you bring a fully produced demo and the producer knows they aren’t going produce it that way, then they have to sit with the artist and start subtracting what they don’t want and that is hard for artists to hear sometimes because they are hearing it one way and being told they are going to do it a completely different way. If you have a guitar/piano vocal and say I’m going to start adding this, they get it.*Some producers need to hear the full demo as it would be on the record.*The song will dictate what it needs as a demo ultimately.*resumes mean nothing in this business. It’s all relationship based.*I worked for Almo-Irving for 14 years and eventually ran the Nashville office. It got bought out by Universal Music Group so after a year off I started a publishing company called Writer’s Den Music Group.*Write what you know. Your story’s already been written. Tell it!*People say “no” to songs I think are hits because this is an art, not a science and everyone has their own opinion. Find people who have similar tastes to you and send them songs that fit you similar personalities. If people have different tastes than you, find out what they are.*This business is an educated guessing game.*You have to be careful to not create demos that are too much like an artist because if they pass on it and you pitch elsewhere, those artists or labels think it sounds like that particular artist and once they find out the previous artist passed on it, they think something is wrong with the song and it will not get cut.*Don’t pitch what they’ve done, pitch what they might be doing.*Write what’s familiar to all of us but unique to you.*It’s the music business, not the music I’ll do whatever I want and hope it works.*For tv/film sync music you have to stand out and offer something that no one else is.*We need the first you, not the second anybody else.*It’s about creating a mood.*Everything is negotiable.*Music supervisors only want songs that are pre cleared so they don’t have to wait 3-4 days to to get an answer from a publisher if they want to license a song.*As a publisher when I want to sign a new writer I’m looking for songs that have a good lyric and melody. If I can whistle it, I’m in.*I’m not looking the next whoever, I’m looking for the first you.*Great writers have a thumbprint like great singers do and you know within the first few seconds who wrote the song.*I’m looking for someone who can write a song told a thousand different times, told from a different angle.*If someone is reaching out to me wanting to get signed to a publishing deal, the best thing is to meet me at workshops and conferences where we can meet in person. That’s what I’m there for. Most of the time it’s by word of mouth from people I know or at songwriter nights when I go to listen to new writers.*I close my eyes when I listen to songs because I want to see the movie you’ve created. If I don’t like a song it’s because I’m seeing it and feeling it.*Maybe I’m not crazy about the song, but there are a couple of lines that are new and fresh and that will make me want to talk to the writer because that might be the tip of the iceberg for something greater.*I’m looking for potential.*Hone your craft so that when someone listens to it, there is nothing they can suggest to make it better.*You can’t control God given talent, but you can control work ethic.*I prefer to sign writers to long term contracts, not single songs because I want to build a relationship. I like to court a writer for period of time to get to know each other before I sign them.*I’m looking for a certain amount of talent and a work ethic.*Find people who will give you a leg up you do the same for others.*If we don’t see you, if we don’t hear you, you don’t exist.*Be out and play out. You need to play out 1 night and be out 4 or more. *You never know who you’re going to be standing next to or see on stage that you can develop a relationship with.*Play out so people can see you.*There are venues for tourists and venues for industry people. Play the venues such as The Local, Belcourt Taps, Douglas Corner, 3rd and Lindsley and The Bluebird where the industry people attend.*If you’re playing at these venues, you’re going to find your “class” of people to rise up with at that is usually at the earlier shows from 5-7pm. You want to be hanging around those people.*It’s about making smart decisions, hanging out at the right places at the right times, giving yourself opportunities and letting people see you are out and about and proactive. Eventually someone will take notice and you’re going to get invited to the next level. Bobby Rymer is the owner and general manager of the Nashville based music publishing company Writer’s Den Music Group.Writer’s Den was originally started in 2007 with Rymer at the helm.

Va a ser difícil recuperarnos de la pérdida de John Prine, a quien ayer dedicamos nuestro programa. Su muerte ha dejado huérfana a la comunidad de la Americana music. No hace mucho, Jason Isbell realizaba esta interpretación acústica de "Hello in There", una canción perteneciente al disco de debut del mítico artista de Illinois allá por 1971. Esa canción surgió a partir de “Across The Universe” de John Lennon y se convirtió en una reflexión conmovedora sobre el envejecimiento. La versión de Jason isbell ha formado parte del recopilatorio Music Moments de la Asociación del Alzheimer, un proyecto en el que los artistas abordan canciones que aprecian a nivel emocional. Old Crow Medicine Show ha querido enviar un mensaje positivo con una nueva canción, "Nashville Rising", compuesta por su líder Ketch Secor poco después del tornado que devastó la capital de Tennessee el pasado 3 de marzo. Poco antes de que las medidas para combatir el coronavirus lo impidieran, el grupo se reunió con invitados tan especiales como Molly Tuttle, Shelly Colvin y Skylar Wilson, en el estudio que el grupo tiene en East Nashville para grabar todos juntos "Nashville Rising", cuyos ingresos serán donados al Fondo de Respuesta a Emergencias de la Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. El nuevo álbum de Ashley McBryde, Never Will, supone el cuarto de la carrera de esta nativa de Waldron, Arkansas, que tras autoeditarse un álbum de debut en 2007 se trasladó a Nashville para buscar su lugar en la escena de la Country music. Tras una segundo álbum, fue una canción como "A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega" la que llamó la atención de todos nosotros hace tres años y nos hizo profundizar en sus composiciones. El productor Jay Joyce se puso a su lado y un trabajo como Going Going Nowhere la hizo despegar definitivamente. Después de una curiosa serie de singles y vídeos que anticiparon su nuevo registro, “Velvet Red” se convierte en su tema más enraizado. 25 Trips es el quinto álbum de Sierra Hull, una de las más sólidas representantes del bluegrass hecho por mujeres y una de las mandolinistas más consideradas del género. Esta jovencísima nativa de Byrdstown, en Tennessee, ha dado un paso más en su nueva grabación, incluyendo elementos a los que no había recurrido en sus grabaciones anteriores, como es la utilización de la batería y la electrificación de la guitarra y la mandolina. Eso supone un cierto toque aperturista dentro de un estilo no demasiado proclive precisamente a reflexionar en ese sentido. El disco vuelve a ser una delicia sonora a la que han sido invitados su propio marido, Justin Moses, junto a instrumentistas del prestigio de Stuart Duncan, Bryan Sutton y Viktor Krauss que en temas como “Poison”, compuesto junto a la virginiana Laura Leigh Jones, recuperan la frescura y naturalidad de tocar en vivo con una sincronización perfecta. También hemos viajado hasta Montana, donde se crió Tessy Lou Williams rodeada de un ambiente musical que comenzó en la banda familar, Montana Rose, que iniciaron sus padres. Esas son las raíces que la llevaron a Austin y posteriormente a Nashville, donde ahora publicará su disco de debut, de título homónimo, marcado por la tradición y con el apoyo de Ashley Campbell, Brennen Leigh, Carl Jackson, Larry Cordle, Jon Randall y algunos otros. "Mountain Time in Memphis", es una canción que describe a la perfección la situación de una mujer con una nueva vida en Tennessee pero que dejó el amor en Montana. En la composición ha intervenido Jerry Salley, su primer contacto en Music City y con quién empezó a escribir canciones. Frente a la imagen poco real que suele dibujar la industria de Nashville, cada vez encontramos más “forajidas” que contraponer su respeto y cariño por la tradición musical. Este es el caso de Jess Jocoy, que acaba de lanzar su primer álbum, Such A Long Way, como continuación de su debut de 2018 con el EP New Heart/Old Soul. La artista del sur de Seattle, en el estado de Washington, llegó a Nashville para convertir su esperanza de compartir sus experiencias y su propia visión de la realidad y así lo manifiesta en canciones como "The Ballad of Two Lovers", que trata sobre cuando a una relación de tiempo le quitas el romanticismo de estar enamorado. Es una especie de conmovedor homenaje a la disfunción del amor, y muestra que se puede salir de una situación tan triste. Eilen Jewell es una mujer inquieta a la que un periodo de cuarentena no la la detiene, de tal forma que ha recuperado uno de los grandes clásicos de la country music como “A Satisfied Man” para sacarlo a la luz aprovechando estas fechas de Pascua. Eilen solía tocarla con su grupo The Sacred Shakers, su grupo de góspel, aunque no es un tema religioso. La grabó en el Audio Lab de Garden City, en Idaho, con los otros tres miembros de su banda, su marido Jason Beek, Matt Murphy y Jerry Miller. Red Hays, que había compuesto “A Satisfied Man” junto a Jack Rhodes, la grabó por primera vez en 1954. Al año siguiente, Porter Wagoner la llevó al No. 1 de las listas de country y los Byrds la versionaron magistralmente en su segundo álbum Turn, Turn, Turn de 1965. 2020 es año bisiesto y se está haciendo notar en su aspecto más negativo. A la trágica pandemia se ha unido la muerte de otros músicos por diferentes causas, como ha sido el caso de Bill Withers, que moría por problemas cardíacos el pasado día 30 de marzo. Joan Osborne, una cantautora que nunca ha dejado de sorprendernos dando clases magistrales de cómo interpretar temas de cualquier estilo musical, desde el country al rhythm and blues. La artista, originaria de Anchorage, un suburbio de Louisville, en Kentucky, se marchó a Nueva York en los 80 y desde entonces ha venido desarrollando una actividad musical encomiable. Breakfast In Bed fue su trabajo de hace 13 años, donde repasaba algunos de los mayores éxitos del rhythm and blue en los últimos 60 y primeros 70. Ese es el caso de “Ain’t No Sunshine”, la canción más popular para Bill Withers, que la incluyó en Just As I Am, su álbum de debut en 1971. Se trata de una canción de desamor atemporal, en la que se canta a un mundo desprovisto de amor y de luz. Y todo en escasamente tres minutos. Una obra maestra. Bill Whiters nos dejó impecables muestras de su poderío como compositor e intérprete en sus años de carrera. Ahí está, por ejemplo, “Lean On Me”, un majestuoso apunte de nostalgia de ese músico, ahora desaparecido, procedente de la zona minera de West Virginia que en 1972 alcanzaba la cima de las listas de soul y pop en Estados Unidos en la voz de su propio compositor. Por otro lado, Eric Bibb es un neoyorquino cuya familia tiene puntos de encuentro con el Modern Jazz Quartet, Pete Seeger, Odetta o Paul Robeson, y que posee la rara habilidad de fusionar el blues tradicional con sonidos más contemporáneos gracias a una extraordinaria versatilidad. Junto a Maria Muldaur y Rory Block nos dejó esta versión impagable de aquel clásico de hace más de cuatro décadas que ahora vuelve a estar más presente que nunca. “Lean On Me” (Apóyate en mí) fue el primer single del segundo álbum de Bill Withers, Still Bill, en 1972, pero la inspiración vino de muchos años antes. Fue la camaradería de su ciudad natal, una comunidad minera de carbón en West Virginia, la que le llevó a componerla sentado al piano en Los Ángeles, a más de 2.500 millas de distancia. Early Morning Rain supondrá el primero de mayo el más reciente trabajo de Steve Forbert, un álbum que también bucea en canciones que están escritas en las páginas más brillantes de la historia de la música popular de raíces norteamericanas. Es un reconocimiento entrañable y formal a lo que representan por sí mismas 11 de sus canciones favoritas de las que tan solo una está compuesta después de 1973. Entre las seleccionadas está "Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues", que fue grabada por primera vez en 1967 por su creador, Danny O’Keefe, un cantante y compositor de Spokane, en el estado de Washington, que no la sacó a la luz hasta 1971 cuando publicó el primero de sus álbumes y que volvió a grabar para el segundo. Ha tenido infinidad de lecturas posteriores y entre las más cercanas en el tiempo recordamos las de Charley Crockett en 2018 y Ronnie Dunn en este mismo año. Midland concluyó su Electric Rodeo Tour en la primavera del pasado año con una sonada actuación en el Ryman Auditorium. El trío tejano de Dripping Springs estaba probando las canciones de su último álbum de estudio, Let It Roll, que publicaría en verano, y al que ha continuado una grabación en directo realizada en el legendario The Palomino de Los Angeles a comienzos de este año. Desde sus inicios, Midland procuraron equilibrar su devoción por las inclinaciones más neo-tradicionalistas del George Strait de los 80 con la riqueza armónica de de la dorada California de la década anterior que entronizó a los Eagles. La banda alterna sus canciones más reconocidas con algunas versiones que abarcan una extensa gama de posibilidades y que permiten escuchar canciones de John Denver, ZZ Top, Allman Brothers o Tom Petty. Incluso tuvieron tiempo de entrar en el estudio para grabar una sesión exclusiva para Amazon que dejó esta revisión de “Wicked Game”, que Chris Isaak, que subió al escenario con ellos en una de sus presentaciones en suelo californiano, firmó para su álbum de 1989 Heart Shaped World, convirtiéndose en un éxito absoluto cuando formó parte de la banda sonora de la película de David Lynch Wild at Heart –Corazón salvaje- al año siguiente.

Brennen Leigh, née Brennen Leigh Hulbert en 1984 à Fargo, est une auteure-compositrice-interprète, guitariste, mandoliniste; elle a grandi à Moorhead, ( Moorhead est une ville située dans l'Ouest de l'État du Minnesota aux États-Unis, sur Red River of the North, en face de Fargo - Dakota du Nord). Les parents sont des musiciens, le père maîtrise la guitare et la mère joue du piano ; ‘’Ils pouvaient chanter en harmonie ensemble’’, raconte Brennen; ‘’Il n’y avait pas grand-chose d’autre à faire dans le ‘’Haut Midwest’’; alors que j’étais enfant, mon père chantait pour m’endormir: The Wreck Of The Old 97 ou encore Wildwood Flower. Brennen et son frère Seth sont à bonne école; ils s’élèvent ainsi dans cette ambiance et culture musicale dans laquelle le Bluegrass est Roi. La pile de vieux disques country de leurs parents leur fait signe comme une route inexplorée à travers l'histoire de la musique, servant de support aux interprétations de leur père. 1993: Brennen à neuf ans lorsqu’elle remporte la 1ère place d’un concours de chant pour enfant sur le festival de Vergas au Minnesota.

In this week's episode, we're featuring the debut record from Houston piano man Damian O'Grady: "From 9 'Til 1" (2018). Here's a man who spent years playing sideman to some of the Lone Star State's best dance bands and who picked up a thing or two along the way. A frequent cameo to the mic when playing with Texas favourites Amber Digby & Midnight Flyer and prior to that with Miss Leslie & Her Juke Jointers, Damian O'Grady started recording this album years ago. Life got in the way for a while, but five years after shelving it he finally rented the studio time to get it mastered, and the result is an excellent debut. For a man who's musical tastes range from Jethro Tull to George Harrison, this is a remarkably traditional country album: shufflers and two-steppers go back-to-back with barroom weepers and cheating ballads, tales of lost love and introspective deep thinkers. O'Grady wrote every song bar one on this album, and it's one cover is a masterful duet version of a 1983 Conway Twitty B-side, where Damian O'Grady teams with Austin songstress Brennen Leigh on "Cheatin' Fire". The fiddle from Jason Roberts and steel from Dave Biller and Johnny Cox add to the album's many highlights: including the can't-live-with-'em-can't-live-without-'em "Back Again", the rocking "Too Far Gone" and the honky tonkin' title track. A thoroughly entertaining debut that O'Grady's son will be proud to play for his kids further down the line.
