I love this book! Dave Dalton Thomas has written a book about the history of Willie's 4th of July picnic called "Picnic Willie Nelson's Fourth of July Tradition." Great book and Dave gives us the history and stories that you have never heard. Pick up the book and listen now as Dave joins Bob at the Broken Spoke.

The late James White certainly left the legacy of the Broken Spoke in great hands. He would be proud of all the work his daughter Ginny, and his son-in-law Michael have done with the legendary Broken Spoke. Let's catch up with them.

Guitarist Will Knaak join Bob and Monte at historic Broken Spoke. Did you know Will started playing at the Spoke when he was only 12 years old? Listen and learn more about Will's amazing musical journey.

This episode carries content warnings for death, the description of corpses, false memories, illusions, vomiting, and medical experimentation. Where has the crew of the Blue Channel gone? For Eclectic Opposition, the answer is easy, if dire: In the passenger seat of a Baseline-C security vehicle, under the watchful eyes of the Divine Resonance, scrambling for a way out. For the support staff, like Hunting Tomorrow and Partial Palisade, the answer is scanning for the others. And those others? They are so close—under five miles away from the ship's landing zone—yet so, so far. Deep in the Catacombs of Dust. Deeper, still, living new lives, considering what might be, what might have been, and what yet might still come. This week on PALISADE: Seize the Chance Pt. 5 Let loose the wide world that holds you / Scratch through / Your waves linger Dossier People Partial Palisade (he/him): A man who was once a Divine, now living in the shell of a being quite unlike what he once was. Midnite Matinee (she/her): Leporine scout and member of the Blue Channel. She and her trusty Pack-model light AutoHollow Popcorn used to run a repo company, but now are tentatively committed to the Cause and Millennium Break. Elle Evensong (she/they): Elle arrived to Palisade along with the first wave of Devotees, making a name for herself as a cunning combatant and clever commander. She became a poster child for Twilight Mirage's support of Palisade (and, for members of the Dim Liturgy, a prophesied bridge between the past and the future). But as the war began to heat up, she seemed to vanish into the background. In fact, they were working for the Divine, Arbitrage as a double agent. Cori blames them for the death of her father. Pilot of the Cataphract. Murchy “Murch” Saltburn (she/her): A gig-cop working for Lock & Cross Security Services in Baseline-C.  Alise Breka (she/her): Once, Alise was most popular for her Renegade Hearts books of daring pulp adventure. Now she is one of the chief propagandists of Millennium Break, turning their struggles (and victories) into novels, screenplays, and other media. Factions Bilateral Intercession: One of two factions vying for leadership of the Principality, comprised by Stels Kesh and Nideo, and lead by the so-called Peaceful Princept, Cynosure Whitestar-Kesh (he/him), who took control of the faction from the Curtain, a secretive intelligence organization with roots in Kesh's ancient spy operations. The “Bilats” are a conservative and reactionary force, aiming to return the Principality to its roots both literally and figuratively. After a long campaign against the Pact of Free States, they managed to take control of Palisade. The Bilateral Intelligence Service: Formerly called the Curtain, the BIS is a Kesh-operated organization which specializes in espionage, subterfuge, and surveillance. Recently removed from power on Palisade Stel Kesh: The oldest established power in the galaxy, built around a stuffy (and secretive) aristocracy. They are tied to the Past. History, knowledge, stubbornness. Stel Nideo: Created the largest faith in the empire, and used that influence to shape (and surveil) mass culture. They are tied to the Present. Faith, coercion, stability. The Frontier Syndicate: A powerful conglomerate with a broad purview, including technology, heavy industry, entertainment, telecommunications, and transportation. Led by Exenceaster March (he/him), the Syndicate betrayed the Pact of Free States and joined the Bilats in order to be part of their colonization efforts on Palisade. The Pact of Free States: One of the two factions vying for leadership of the Principality, a joint operation by Stels Columnar and Apostolos. Led in name by the Glorious Princept, Dahlia (they/them), but operated in day-to-day matters by members of the original Pact of Necessary Venture, including Rye (he/him) and Gallica (she/her). Though they are reformist in some ways, their primary goal is greater autonomy for each Stel, freedom from the legal restraints, taxes, and oversights demanded by the Principality, with additional deregulation to follow downstream. Fabreal Duchy: When the Divine Principality left Palisade nearly 5,000 years ago, they left behind a Duke and his barons as caretakers. In the generations that followed, they ruled as petty tyrants, creating Delegates as their slaves, remaking their bodies into glass and oil, and extending their reach across Palisade's continents. Though they officially report to their handlers in Stel Kesh, recently they have begun to wonder if things were better before the Principality's return to Palisade. Places Diadem Gravtrain: While the vast trench-city on Palisade's equator lays abandoned, Kesh has reactivated its railway via an operations center in the city of Carmathen. Collier: The agricultural world where Thisbe was dug up and eventually sold to mercenaries. A planet that, due to the Farmer's Rebellion, was removed from all Principality maps and effectively abandoned. Became the "breadbasket" of Millennium Break, a farming world to support the revolutionary movement. Divines The Divine Filigree: The instrumentalized operating core of Palisade's extensive GravTrain system. Currently being taken into Dust's catacombs by the affliction's minions.  The Divine Motion (she/her): One of the founding members of the Pact, the necromantic Apostolosian divine once led its infamous retinue, the Black Century, on Partizan. They were defeated and dispersed, turned into part of Kalmeria, during Operation Shackled Sun.  The Divine, Arbitrage (it/its): The amoral machine turned de facto treasurer keeps the Frontier Syndicate a step ahead in all matters of commerce. Sole minter of “glint,” a newly popular currency on Palisade. The Divine Integrity (it/its): Sometimes appearing as an articulated staff or a metallic spine, Integrity integrates itself into its chosen user. Once the two are connected, Integrity becomes a powerful exoskeleton, and supports its user in matters of military and morale. Until being assassinated by Brnine, Dahlia, the Glorious Princept, was the elect of Integrity. The Divine Resonance (it/its): The watchful guardian, doting caregiver, and ardent supporter of Nideo's colonial efforts on Palisade. Asepsis (it/its): The final living remnants of a Divine who pursues its particular vision of purity at the cost of everything else. Kept, studied, and utilized by Captain Kalvin Brnine.  Objects The Broken Spoke: The Figure's bipedal and asymmetrical mech, The Broken Spoke is made of a matte crystaline material that has Russian Sage seemingly sprouting out between its joints. It has stout legs. Its right arm carries a glaive; its left "arm", or what would pass as such, is an oversized cannon with an attached shield. This oversized half of the mech is covered by a flowing cloak. BAC Hatchets: Appearing like fantastical knights made of tooth enamel, the Divine Consecration's latest machine of war, derived from parts recovered from the Divines Felicity and Souciance, buried inside of Chimera's Lantern. The Hatchets wield axes that sport long, weaponized chains running from the bottom of their hafts, and the materials used in their construciton make them sturdier than most front line units. The trio of Hatchets deployed by Stel Nideo to capture the "train brain" are piloted by three brothers: Calamedes, Caspin, and Caydor. Saint: A series of mechs piloted by knights that served the original Crown of Glass, a major power on the pre-Divine Principality-era Twilight Mirage world of Quire.   Mysteries Perennial (she/her):  The Principality's so-called 'adversary,' who lives at the center of the galaxy and whose chaotic whims spread through her "Perennial Wave," an ever-present nanoparticle that has recently bonded with Kalmeria. The Five Afflictions: A group of “monstrous” beings that haunt the dark corners of Palisade. They have been named as follows: Dust a.k.a Pride's Mirror a.k.a. The Looking Glass Refrain a.k.a. Yesterday's Reprise  a.k.a. The Ghastly Chorus Ravel a.k.a. Labyrinth's Thread a.k.a. The Hedge Maze  Cleave a.k.a. Whetstone's Opposite a.k.a. The Sanguine Hatchet  Oversight a.k.a. Hell's Facade a.k.a. The Empty Garden Flash Nautilus: An alien creature who uses plasma-energy for propulsion. Compelled into service by Stel Nideo. Additional Notes Delegates: In plain terms, Delegates are synthetic individuals created through a process of forcible extraction from a living Divine. Originated by the Fabreal Duchy, who were left behind to "attend to" Palisade by the Divine Principality around 5000 years ago, these Delgates were designed and used as slaves. Currently, a Delegate resistance group called Reunion operates out of the fortress Joyous Guard in the Caldera Stretch.   Hosted by Austin Walker (@austin_walker) Featuring Janine Hawkins (@bleatingheart) Sylvi Bullet (@sylvibullet), Ali Acampora (@ali_west), Art Martinez-Tebbel (@atebbel), Jack de Quidt (@notquitereal), Keith J Carberry (@keithjcarberry) and Andrew Lee Swan (@swandre3000) Produced by Ali Acampora  Music by Jack de Quidt (available on bandcamp) Text by Austin Walker Cover Art by by aurahack (aurahack.jp) With thanks to Arthur B., chocoube, DB, deepFlaw, Edwin Adelsberger, Emrys, Greg Cobb, huw, Ian O'Dea, Ian Urbina, Irina A., Jack Shirai, K.

Standing astride the Diadem, the massive Affliction called Dust first sapped sound from the world and then turned its attention to the train car at the center of a multi-factional chase. Now, in the depths of the ruined megacity, those that fell into the pit awaken. And they awaken in places impossible to predict.

This episode carries content warnings for state surveillance.  The crew of the Blue Channel battles their way towards a train heading east. Inside one of its cars is the Diadem Grav Train control system, a device that could turn the tide of the war on Palisade and grant the Cause a major logistical advantage. But the members of Millennium Break aren't the only ones in search of the so-called “train brain.” On the world of Palisade, chaos now rules. The question remains: Who will end up in control?

In the city of Carmathen, the Fabreal Duchy has spread itself too thin. Look only at the entrance to the Diadem Grav Train's control center: Once guarded by a full detachment of Stel Kesh's most reliable soldiers. Now, guarded by little more than an honor guard. On a world like Palisade, in a war like this one, it may as well be an invitation. The question is only how many might decide to come calling. This week on PALISADE: Seize the Chance Pt. 2 somewhere beneath the pale / moonlight, there is past /  under the same sky Dossier People Partial Palisade (he/him): A man who was once a Divine, now living in the shell of a being quite unlike what he once was. Connadine (he/him): Commander of the Bilateral Intelligence Service on Palisade. An expert in psychological operations and folklore. As a composer, his opus is the Adagio, a plan to get everyone on Palisade operating in ways not only predictable, but scripted. As a conductor, his orchestra now turns towards the second movement. Midnite Matinee (she/her): Leporine scout and member of the Blue Channel. She and her trusty Pack-model light AutoHollow Popcorn used to run a repo company, but now are tentatively committed to the Cause and Millennium Break. Gucci Garantine (she/her): A defector from Stel Kesh, who used the remaining wealth and power of House Brightline to help found Millennium Break. Currently a key member of the resistance efforts on Palisade, and a commander of Millenium Break forces there. Codename Watershed. Factions Bilateral Intercession: One of two factions vying for leadership of the Principality, comprised by Stels Kesh and Nideo, and lead by the so-called Peaceful Princept, Cynosure Whitestar-Kesh (he/him), who took control of the faction from the Curtain, a secretive intelligence organization with roots in Kesh's ancient spy operations. The “Bilats” are a conservative and reactionary force, aiming to return the Principality to its roots both literally and figuratively. After a long campaign against the Pact of Free States, they managed to take control of Palisade. The Bilateral Intelligence Service: Formerly called the Curtain, the BIS is a Kesh-operated organization which specializes in espionage, subterfuge, and surveillance. Recently removed from power on Palisade Stel Kesh: The oldest established power in the galaxy, built around a stuffy (and secretive) aristocracy. They are tied to the Past. History, knowledge, stubbornness. Stel Nideo: Created the largest faith in the empire, and used that influence to shape (and surveil) mass culture. They are tied to the Present. Faith, coercion, stability. The Frontier Syndicate: A powerful conglomerate with a broad purview, including technology, heavy industry, entertainment, telecommunications, and transportation. Led by Exenceaster March (he/him), the Syndicate betrayed the Pact of Free States and joined the Bilats in order to be part of their colonization efforts on Palisade. The Pact of Free States: One of the two factions vying for leadership of the Principality, a joint operation by Stels Columnar and Apostolos. Led in name by the Glorious Princept, Dahlia (they/them), but operated in day-to-day matters by members of the original Pact of Necessary Venture, including Rye (he/him) and Gallica (she/her). Though they are reformist in some ways, their primary goal is greater autonomy for each Stel, freedom from the legal restraints, taxes, and oversights demanded by the Principality, with additional deregulation to follow downstream. Fabreal Duchy: When the Divine Principality left Palisade nearly 5,000 years ago, they left behind a Duke and his barons as caretakers. In the generations that followed, they ruled as petty tyrants, creating Delegates as their slaves, remaking their bodies into glass and oil, and extending their reach across Palisade's continents. Though they officially report to their handlers in Stel Kesh, recently they have begun to wonder if things were better before the Principality's return to Palisade. Places Diadem Gravtrain: While the vast trench-city on Palisade's equator lays abandoned, Kesh has reactivated its railway via an operations center in the city of Carmathen. The Paint Shop: Sitting atop the central peak of Steeple Catterick, this faux-commune was once the central HQ of the Bilateral HQ on Palisade. Now it has gone quiet. Divines The Divine Motion (she/her): One of the founding members of the Pact, the necromantic Apostolosian divine once led its infamous retinue, the Black Century, on Partizan. They were defeated and dispersed, turned into part of Kalmeria, during Operation Shackled Sun.  The Divine, Arbitrage (it/its): The amoral machine turned de facto treasurer keeps the Frontier Syndicate a step ahead in all matters of commerce. Sole minter of “glint,” a newly popular currency on Palisade. The Divine Integrity (it/its): Sometimes appearing as an articulated staff or a metallic spine, Integrity integrates itself into its chosen user. Once the two are connected, Integrity becomes a powerful exoskeleton, and supports its user in matters of military and morale. Until being assassinated by Brnine, Dahlia, the Glorious Princept, was the elect of Integrity. The Divine Resonance (it/its): The watchful guardian, doting caregiver, and ardent supporter of Nideo's colonial efforts on Palisade. Asepsis (it/its): The final living remnants of a Divine who pursues its particular vision of purity at the cost of everything else. Kept, studied, and utilized by Captain Kalvin Brnine.  Objects AdArm Bouquet: Designed by Stel Orion's Adamant Arms and Artifice as an Altar-era update to the classic Troop design. It's still boxy (if a little trimmer) and it retains it's wide, rectangular “eye” on its head. Gone are the heavy grip claws, replaced with traditional, five-fingered hands, allowing it more complex manipulations, including the operations of its distinctive Roundless Rifle, which seems convert raw Perennial Wave into ammunition. Additionally, the shoulder mount has ditched the heavy cannon in exchange for a close range, pneumatic lance that can devastate even the strongest armor. Roundless rifles fire condensed Perennial Wave gathered from the atmosphere itself. The Broken Spoke: The Figure's bipedal and asymmetrical mech, The Broken Spoke is made of a matte crystaline material that has Russian Sage seemingly sprouting out between its joints. It has stout legs. Its right arm carries a glaive; its left "arm", or what would pass as such, is an oversized cannon with an attached shield. This oversized half of the mech is covered by a flowing cloak. Mysteries Perennial (she/her):  The Principality's so-called 'adversary,' who lives at the center of the galaxy and whose chaotic whims spread through her "Perennial Wave," an ever-present nanoparticle that has recently bonded with Kalmeria. The Five Afflictions: A group of “monstrous” beings that haunt the dark corners of Palisade. They have been named as follows: Dust a.k.a Pride's Mirror a.k.a. The Looking Glass Refrain a.k.a. Yesterday's Reprise  a.k.a. The Ghastly Chorus Ravel a.k.a. Labyrinth's Thread a.k.a. The Hedge Maze  Cleave a.k.a. Whetstone's Opposite a.k.a. The Sanguine Hatchet  Oversight a.k.a. Hell's Facade a.k.a. The Empty Garden   Additional Notes Delegates: In plain terms, Delegates are synthetic individuals created through a process of forcible extraction from a living Divine. Originated by the Fabreal Duchy, who were left behind to "attend to" Palisade by the Divine Principality around 5000 years ago, these Delgates were designed and used as slaves. Currently, a Delegate resistance group called Reunion operates out of the fortress Joyous Guard in the Caldera Stretch.   Hosted by Austin Walker (@austin_walker) Featuring Janine Hawkins (@bleatingheart) Sylvi Bullet (@sylvibullet), Ali Acampora (@ali_west), Art Martinez-Tebbel (@atebbel), Jack de Quidt (@notquitereal), Keith J Carberry (@keithjcarberry) and Andrew Lee Swan (@swandre3000) Produced by Ali Acampora  Music by Jack de Quidt (available on bandcamp) Text by Austin Walker Cover Art by by aurahack (aurahack.jp) With thanks to Arthur B., chocoube, DB, deepFlaw, Edwin Adelsberger, Emrys, Greg Cobb, huw, Ian O'Dea, Ian Urbina, Irina A., Jack Shirai, K.

It's not about politics, it's about our love for Texas Dancehalls and the legendary Broken Spoke. Honestly we taped this episode in 2022 and I've been waiting to post it because I wanted a companion episode with Congressman Lloyd Doggett. I'ver contacted his office and 8 months later, we're still waiting for an answer. It would be great for Congressman Doggett to tell of his love for the Spoke and of the first time a political rally was held at the Spoke. I can't wait to hear his "tales" of old Austin. Let's set it up and in the mean time I hope you enjoy this conversation with Congressman Roy.

After quite a hiatus from the podcast, Andrew and Sean get back into it with a chat about their life-altering trips to see George Strait at the Houston Rodeo and then George & Willie Nelson live in Austin. Also, The Golden Roses live at The White Horse, Lone Star Lights, an afternoon visit to The Broken Spoke, and Cowboy hats at natural wine parties in Austin.

Why did it take so long for the small, destination winery business to take off.  With the benefit of hindsight, it seems like it should have been obvious for decades.  No matter how long it took for the American public to realize they loved going to places like this is fine.  What matters is that families like that of Maggie Hall, today's guest, have the ability to create sustainable agricultural businesses by giving people what they want. Maggie is the only child of two free spirited and creative lovers of agriculture.  Maggie says that to look at them, you wouldn't know how free spirited they are, but her parents have been seeking a way to live and maintain an agricultural lifestyle since before she can remember.  For a couple of decades this took the form of a horse farm that included breeding, training, selling and even cart pulling for special events.  However, about seven years ago the bottom fell out of the particular horse market they were in, and they made a change to growing grapes and running a destination winery. Today, Maggie is the social media marketing expert for her parents' business, Broken Spoke Winery.  On the same farm that used to be primarily devoted to horses they now grow grapes, make wine, host events, provide entertainment and sell locally produced, value added products.  Maggie describes their location as the "middle of nowhere" but as it turns out, a lot of people vacation in the area.  So, with the assistance of social media, Maggie can target folks in the areas that tend to travel to her part of Maryland and inform them about the events and entertainers that will be appearing at Broken Spoke Winery. In today's interview Maggie will tell us all about the journey, her role and her parent's philosophy on business and agriculture! More Places You Can Listen to Off-Farm Income And Matt Brechwald:

Season 2 Episode 8 A BLAST FROM THE PAST – Songs that Form the Soundtrack of our Teenage Dreams Why do the songs we heard as a teenager sound sweeter than anything we have ever listened to as an adult? In recent years, psychologists and neuroscientists have done plenty of research and have confirmed that these oldies but goodies hold disproportionate power over our emotions. And researchers have uncovered evidence that suggests our brains bind us to the music that we heard as teenagers more tightly than anything we'll ever hear as adults—a connection that doesn't weaken whatsoever as we age. Musical nostalgia, in other words, isn't just a cultural phenomenon: It's a neutronic command. And no matter how sophisticated our tastes might otherwise grow to be, our brains may stay jammed on those songs we obsessed over during the high drama during the years of our adolescence. But memories are meaningless without emotion—and aside from love and drugs, nothing spurs an emotional reaction like music. Many research studies show that our favorite songs stimulate our brain's pleasure circuit, which releases an influx of dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and other neurochemicals that make us feel good. A lot of big words, right! The more we like a song, the more we get treated to neurochemical bliss, flooding our brains. Music lights these sparks of neutronic activity in everyone. But when we were young, the sparks turned into a fireworks show. Between the ages of 10 and 22, our brains undergo rapid neurological development—and the music we love during that decade seems to get wired into our lobes for the rest of our lives. When we make neural connections to a song, we also create a strong memory trace that becomes overloaded with heightened emotion, thanks partly to a surplus of youthful growth hormones. These hormones tell our brains that everything is incredibly important—especially the songs that form the soundtrack to our teenage dreams during those early years. 1995 – The Decade of the 90s - KARS for Kids, Dallas Cowboys Inauguration St. Edwards Training Camp, Austin Live Stock Show and Rodeo, Walk of Life on Capitol Steps, Broken Spoke, Sidney St. James and Fiftie's Fun on Sunday Nights at KOOL99 Radio, and many more functions.

Today’s guest is Weldon Henson.  He might have the best honky tonk voice that Austin can call it’s own.  I’d describe it as a mix between Merle Haggard and Ray Benson  He plays the honky tonks in and around Austin.  In particular, a weekly gig at the Broken Spoke and monthly at Ginny’s.  When you hear him talk about his top five records, I believe that it is clear where his influences lie.       Moving forward all podcastees of the My Top Five Records podcast will have to now deal with quizzes. They won’t know what I am going to ask them but I assure you that they will have a good time.  Weldon did pretty dern good.   If you're digging on what we're laying down, please give us a review on iTunes.  You can find My Top Five Records pretty much anywhere you listen to podcasts but a star for each one of your top five records on iTunes (that's five stars!) would be super appreciated!  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/my-top-five-records/id1494022573   Let’s get to the conversation.  But first…   Close your eyes.  You’re at the furtherest place out there.  What 5 records do you have?   http://weldonhenson.com/music/ https://www.facebook.com/weldonhensonmusic https://www.instagram.com/weldonhenson/ https://twitter.com/weldonhenson   https://thebiggunshow.com/ https://www.facebook.com/thebiggunshowband/ https://www.instagram.com/thebiggunshowband/ https://www.youtube.com/thebiggunshowband

James White is the founder and owner of The Broken Spoke. During our conversation, James talks about opening the Broken Spoke in the mid-1960's, meeting a red-headed, clean-shaven Willie Nelson a few years later, and The Broken Spoke's place in the city of Austin.

The Broken Spoke says they will continue to serve food, Joe Biden and President Trump hold rallies, and tech news including Amazon Prime Day is back. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

El 6 de junio de 1980, hace 40 años, se publicaba la banda sonora de la película Urban Cowboy, un día después del estreno de la cinta en Houston, Texas. Urban Cowboy fue dirigida por James Bridges y contaba una relación amor/odio entre "Bud" (John Travolta) y Sissy (Debra Winger) teniendo como punto de encuentro el Gilley's Club, sin ninguna duda, el honky tonk más grande del mundo, abierto en Pasadena, Texas, en 1971 por Mickey Gilley y Sherwood Cryer. El complejo tenía una capacidad de 7,000 personas, repartidas por distintos bares, pistas de baile, escenarios, toro mecánico e incluso rodeo. Aquella película dio origen al llamado Urban Cowboy Movement, que otros relacionaron con el neo-Country o el hill boogie. Su banda sonora fue pieza clave de su éxito, una buena parte de las 18 canciones de su doble LP se incluyeron en el Top 10 de singles de country y otros llegaron a la cima de las listas. Hoy vamos a recordar aquellos momentos. El guión de Urban Cowboy está basado en la historia de amor real de dos clientes habituales de Gilley, Dew Westbrook y Betty Helmer, de los que el periodista Aaron Latham había escrito en la revista Esquire un reportaje titulado "The Ballad of the Urban Cowboy: America's Search for True Grit". El director de cine James Bridges y Latham lo convirtieron en un guión y Paramount eligió a una estrella en ascenso como Debra Winger (a quien recordaréis no hace mucho en la serie de televisión The Ranch) en el papel de Sissy, y a John Travolta (que había tenido un enorme éxito en Saturday Night Fever y Grease) para interpretar a Bud Davis. Aquella banda sonora se abría con “Hello Texas”, un tema compuesto expresamente para la película, que Jimmy Buffett interpretó al margen de sus grabaciones habituales de entonces, que el músico de Mississippi ya denominaba "rock and roll caribeño", aunque también suele usar el término "Gulf & Western”. Musicalmente, Johnny Lee fue uno de los grandes protagonistas de la banda sonora de Urban Cowboy. Nativo de Texas City, creció en una granja de Alta Loma, también en el Estado de la Estrella Solitaria escuchando a Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis y Chuck Berry, formando una banda de rock'n'roll durante sus años escolares en Santa Fe llamada Johnny Lee & The Roadrunners, con la que ganó distintos concursos locales. Johnny Lee se convirtió en toda una sorpresa. Apareció en la cinta, y dos de sus canciones se incluyeron en la banda sonora. "Lookin' For Love", el tema central que él interpretaba, llegó a la cima de las listas de pop y country en aquel mismo año y vendió más de un millón de copias. Es posible que el Gilley's fuera al country lo que Studio 54 en Nueva York fue a la disco music. Lo que nadie puede negar es que con aquel local se sentaron las bases para la aparición de otros clubes tejanos y más allá, incluidos el Billy Bob's Texas de Fort Worth (fundado al año siguiente del éxito de la película) y el Cowboys Dancehall de San Antonio (inaugurado en el 98). Los clientes habituales, conocidos como "Gilly Rats", hicieron de Gilley’s una especie de familia, aunque no era precisamente un lugar familiar. La producción de Urban Cowboy corrió a cargo de Irving Azoff, un manager de artistas como REO Speedwagon y Dan Fogelberg que adquirió solvencia en la industria musical por su estrecha relación con los Eagles. Fue fundador de Full Moon y Giant Records e influyó muy directamente en la selección de artistas para la banda sonora de la película, incluyendo a varios de sus representados. “Times Like These” la representación de Dan Fogelberg. Al año siguiente, la canción formaría parte del doble álbum The Innocent Age del músico de Illinois, posiblemente el trabajo más reconocido de su carrera. En el tema, Fogelberg tocaba todos los instrumentos excepto la batería, que estuvo en manos de Russ Kunkel. Bonnie Raitt, que hizo un cameo en la cinta, incluyó dos temas en la banda sonora, ninguno de ellos editado en sus álbumes oficiales. Así ocurrió con "Don't it Make Ya Wanna Dance", una canción del tejano de Austin Rusty Wier que fue versionada por artistas como Jerry Jeff Walker, Todd Snider, Chris LeDoux o John Hiatt. Ninguna película influyó en el country como lo hizo Urban Cowboy, ni siquiera Pure Country con George Strait a comienzos de los 90. Y ningún otro club lo hizo tanto como Gilley’s. En cierta manera, Urban Cowboy capturó el espíritu de la vida nocturna que una parte de los americanos anhelaba. Las botas vaqueras, los sombreros y las grandes hebillas se pusieron de moda… y es algo que todavía se mantiene, habiendo saltado fronteras. El presente nos cita con Margo Price que en la primavera de 2018 estuvo actuando durante tres noches en la llamada “Mother Church of Country Music”, el mítico Ryman Auditorium de Nashville y ahora ha publicado por sorpresa una selección de 11 cortes tomados de aquellos conciertos en el álbum Perfectly Imperfect at the Ryman, muy pocas fechas antes de lanzar su nuevo disco de estudio, That’s How Rumors Get Started. Durante aquellas fechas, la artista tuvo invitados como Jack White, Sturgill Simpson –que ha producido su nuevo álbum- y Emmylou Harris, con la que cantó a dúo en esta versión a “Wild Women”, que originalmente formó parte de All American Made, el segundo trabajo de Margo Price en 2017 con esta combinación de twang tejano, country de Nashville y soul de Memphis. Neon Cross ha fortalecido la carrera de Jaime Wyatt y ha afianzado la personalidad de la artista californiana. La producción tan afinada de Shooter Jennings ha reforzado sus propuestas sonoras para contar sus luchas reales contra el dolor, la adicción y la aceptación de su sexualidad. Esto último se refleja en "Rattlesnake Girl", arropado en ciertos elementos cercanos a la psicodelia. Cantar, como hace Jaime, sobre su orientación sexual no es algo que se aborde con frecuencia en la country music, por lo que escucharlo de una mujer que aún está despegando en ese género resulta audaz y emotivo. Kathryn Legendre nació en la tejana Helotes y se ha localizado en la escena de Austin con el mejor espíritu del honky tonk. Debutó en 2013 y por el momento suma álbum y un par de EPs hasta la aparición de su más reciente novedad, "One Long Sad Song", cambiando el enfoque para perfeccionar su forma de componer canciones mientras el mundo viaja por extrañas carreteras. Kathryn Legendre casi nunca ha seguido las tendencias que se suponen y sus influencias conectan con los modos de componer de Guy Clark o Merle Haggard, y filtra también las maneras de contar historias de Loretta Lynn, Bonnie Raitt o Linda Ronstadt. Un Ep y dos álbumes es el cargamento sonoro de The Golden Roses, una formación con sede en la tejana Austin, que en Smell The Roses al que da nombre genérico esta canción, cantan a sus experiencias basándose en sus propias influencias en las que hay espacio para el country, el bluegrass, Western swing y algo de rock 'n roll, todo ello filtrado por locales emblemáticos como el Broken Spoke y de forma muy especial el Ginny’s Little Longhorn Saloon, donde aprendieron casi todo lo que saben. “Smell The Roses” ha contado con Zachary Moulton de Mike and the Moonpies como invitado en la Steel guitar. Mike & The Moonpies se han refugiado en Touch of You- The Lost Songs of Gary Stewart, un álbum de canciones inéditas del músico de Jenkins, en el Condado de Letcher, en Kentucky, que habría cumplido 76 años el pasado jueves de no haberse suicidado en diciembre de 2003, unas semanas después de que su mujer muriera de neumonía. Jamie Lin Wilson, Courtney Patton y Zac Wilkerson son algunos de los invitados en esta aventura, además de un dúo con Mark Wystrach de Midland en “Smooth Shot of Whiskey”, una canción que el artista desaparecido compuso con Dean Dillon y Frank Dycus y que quedó fuera de un EP de Dillon y Gary Stewart que en principio era un proyecto más amplio. Midland tomó su nombre de una canción de Dwight Yoakam como "Fair to Midland", que apareció en 2003 en su álbum Population Me. Ahora también han jugado con el título de un Lp tan emblemático del músico de Kentucky como Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc. Etc. para dar nombre a un nuevo EP, con algunas versiones acústicas de sus canciones más conocidas, que han llamado Guitars, Couches, Etc., Etc. La grabación se hizo durante la cuarentena desde las casas de sus tres miembros. "Fourteen Gears" trata sobre un camionero que piensa amor especial mientras usa los "14 engranajes" de su Peterbilt (una marca de camiones de gran tonelaje) para "volver a tenerla” en sus brazos. Es una canción llena de nostalgia sobre conductores de esos trucks de 18 ruedas. Siempre hay que dar gracias por buenos amigos, el amor verdadero, los pueblos pequeños, la cerveza fría y un par de botas gastadas. Eso hace la Josh Abbott Band en su nueva canción, “The Luckiest”, donde tiene tiene un buen recuerdo hacia “King George”, es decir George Strait, por seguir haciendo discos de country. La banda de Lubbock afincada en Austin ha superado con creces la personalización en Josh Abbott y ha dirigido sus esfuerzos a profundizar en los sonidos del Lone Star State, sin perder la conexión con la tradición. Sus canciones suelen tener una carga de positividad, como en este caso, y detallan la cotidianeidad de las pequeñas ciudades de ese inmenso estado, con sus romances, sus problemas y sus inquietudes personales.

Han pasado exactamente 25 años desde que llegara a España el New American Music Tour '95. En la repleta sala Aqualung de Madrid actuaron el 26 de abril de 1995 Marty Stuart , Trisha Yearwood y Emmylou Harris& The Hot Band, con Rodney Crowell, Albert Lee y Glen D, Hardin entre sus miembros. Cuando Marty Stuart visitó por primera vez España junto a los Rock And Roll Cowboys estaba a punto de lanzar su primer disco de grandes éxitos tras el lanzamiento el año anterior de “Love And Luck”, el octavo de su carrera y al que daba nombre genérico este tema compuesto junto a Bob DiPiero y donde Vince Gill y Ricky Skaggs estaban en los coros vocales. Marty Stuart fue otro de los artistas que también pudo haber visitado nuestro país el pasado año. Trisha acababa de editar su quinto álbum,Thinkin' About You, que había sido anticipado con el single “XXX's and OOO's (An American Girl)" de su amiga Matraca Berg, la mujer de Jeff Hanna de la Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, con la que llegaría por segunda vez a la cima de las listas de country contando la historia de una joven que aún firma sus cartas con “besos y abrazos” pero que trabaja duro por triunfar en un mundo de hombres. A lo largo del tema había referencias a Patsy Cline y Aretha Franklin. Emmylou Harris había actuado el año anterior en Vitoria junto a los Nash Ramblers y cuando llegó a Madrid lo hizo acompañada por la Hot Band, con Rodney Crowell, Albert Lee y Glen D, Hardin en el grupo y una mirada a las grandes canciones que la encumbraron. El año anterior, su sello discográfico había lanzado el recopilatorio Songs of the West, que tuvo mucho que ver con el repertorio que aquella noche escuchamos en la sala Aqualung. Como ejemplo está “Even Cowboys Get The Blues”, una composición de Rodney que había formado parte de Blue Kentucky Girl en 1979. Resulta curioso que tras presentarse junto a la Hot Band en aquella gira, a su regreso publicara el álbum Wrecking Ball, que supuso un cambio de rumbo en su carrera, abandonando sus formas habituales. Todos aquellos encuentros con la tradición fueron reconvertidos por Daniel Lanois en otras propuestas sonoras. Cuatro años sin publicar un nuevo trabajo y ahora Reckless Kelly están a cuatro semanas de editar no uno, sino dos álbumes que han titulado American Jackpot y American Girls. El primero de ellos hace un repaso por las personas y la vida cotidiana de la parte más rural de Estados Unidos y entre las canciones incluidas está "I Only See You With My Eyes Closed", que conserva el espíritu outlaw de la banda con raíces en Idaho del que conservan un poderoso individualismo. El quinteto con base en la tejana Austin tomó el nombre de Reckless Kelly de una película de 1993 del actor y director australiano Yahoo Serious. The Golden Roses vienen de Austin, y han aprendido todo lo que saben destilando honky tonk y Ameripolitan music con su EP The Usual Suspects y su álbum Terlingua Graveyard. La continuación viene de la mano de Smell The Roses al que da nombre genérico esta canción sobre lo ya vivido y las decisiones tomadas, donde el cuarteto ha contado con Zachary Moulton de Mike and the Moonpies en la Steel guitar. Se trata de un trabajo producido por Adam Odor en los Yellow Dog Studios de Wimberly, en Texas, que sigue las rodadas de unas influencias musicales que abarcan country, Western swing, un toque de rock 'n roll y una pizca de bluegrass, rememorando lugares tan legendarios como el Broken Spoke o el Ginny’s Little Longhorn Saloon, al lado de cuyo escenario aprendieron casi todo lo que saben. Un disco equilibrado entre baladas solemnes y desgarradoras, hasta temas festivos y despreocupados. Pero siempre apuntando al Oeste. Homeland Insecurity, el último álbum de Flatland Cavalry, deja la sensación de haber estado reunido con tus viejos amigos poniéndote al día. Son 11 canciones cercanas, que cuentan experiencias vitales, llenas de realidad cotidiana y algunas preguntas que están buscando respuesta. "Come Back Down", es una invitación a volver a casa tras estar demasiado tiempo fuera. Cleto Cordero, el líder de la banda, compuso el tema tras visitar a sus padres tras mucho tiempo sin verlos. Tras un disco tan brillante como fue Humble Folks de hace tres temporadas, este nuevo proyecto tiene muchos detalles distintivos, explorando nuevas fórmulas y puliendo los detalles para completar un disco muy afinado que sitúa a Flatland Cavalry muy cerca de los mejores nombres de la red Dirt Music. También han seguido grabando junto a Bruce Robison en The Bunker y "Sober Heart Of Mind" es otra de las muestras que, además ha formado parte del segundo volumen del proyecto The Next Waltz que sigue adelante con una vitalidad envidiable. Josh Abbott, William Clark Green, Cleto Cordero y John Baumann se han unido rindiendo homenaje a la tejana Lubbock. Son cuatro de los grandes talentos de la Red Dirt Music que reivindican la vuelta a las raíces y el orgullo de ser de dónde son. Inspirados, además, en los míticos Flatlanders de los que hablábamos hace un instante. “West Texas In My Eye” es la canción que abre el álbum de debut de este supergrupo tejano conocido como The Panhandlers gracias al apoyo fundamental de Bruce Robison, que los ha incorporado a su proyecto audiovisual The Next Waltz y le grabó en The Bunker en Lockhart, Texas, con métodos exclusivamente analógicos. Love In The Midst Of Mayhem es el más reciente álbum digital de Joe Ely, que no ha querido esperar a que pase esta pandemia para expresar sus sentimientos más íntimos volviéndose hacia su oficio. En un principio iban a ser un par de canciones, pero se fueron sumando nuevas composiciones que se ajustaban al momento buscando en notas de viejas canciones que no habían encontrado acomodo en discos anteriores y el amor, desde distintos puntos de vista, se convirtió en el protagonista de cada una de ellas. Su origen abarca casi cinco décadas. La intimidad y la calidez son el rasgo común de estos 10 temas en el que los músicos son especialmente sensibles y la producción es simple aún sin perder la brillantez. Esta vez el músico de Amarillo se ha inspirado en la actualidad, sensibilizado por las personas sin trabajo, sin alimentos, por los trabajadores sanitarios y por todos los que ponen sus vidas en peligro para hacer frente a esta pandemia, expresando la belleza del espíritu humano: sacrificio, unión y compartir. Joe Ely es el autor de todas las canciones excepto de "All You Are Love", compuesta con sus amigos Butch Hancock y Jimmie Dale Gilmore de los Flatlanders. Es una manera preciosa de recordarnos lo que es importante. Con unas armonías imponentes de Courtney Patton Eady “Let Me Hold You Tonight” es un casi un vals que Deryl Dodd escribió tras una ruptura cuando tenía 19 años con la sincera candidez de la edad. Solía tocarla en acústico a finales de los 80 y principios de los 90, pero no decidió grabarla hasta el verano pasado. En 1991, su buena amiga Nancy Davis Clark le pidió que abriera el concierto que Dean Dillon iba a dar en Cody's, su club en la tejana Waco. Entre las versiones que interpretó en aquellos 20 minutos cantó “Let Me Hold You Tonight”. Dean Dillon quedó impresionado con aquel tema y le invitó a que fuera a verle a Nashville convirtiéndose en su mentor. Fue el despegue de la carrera de este tejano de Dallas que ha regresado a sus raíces más profundas y que anticipa el álbum que continuará a Long Hard Ride, editado hace tres años. Randy Rogers y Wade Bowen han dado continuación a su proyecto conjunto Hold My Beer con un segundo volumen de estudio, previsto para editarse a primeros de mayo. Al contrario del primero de aquellos discos, en esta ocasión se han cuidado todos los detalles, esforzándose en que los matices diferenciadores con respecto a sus carreras individuales sean evidentes, para lo cual han contado con el apoyo en la producción del experimentado Lloyd Maines que ha conformado un trabajo emocionante, como destilan canciones de la categoría de “Rhinestoned”, que la pareja dice que es su favorita del álbum. En Hold My Beer Vol. 2, Randy Rogers y Wade Bowen ha incluido 10 nuevas canciones procurando dar al conjunto del disco una significación mucho más personal y profunda. Para terminar el programa de hoy, emplazándote para la semana que viene en la sintonía de Radio 3 el sábado y el domingo a la 1 del mediodía, las 12 en Canarias, la mejor despedida en forma de canción es la que ha dado nombre a este proyecto que ya va por su segunda entrega.

Welcome to a record-breaking week when it comes to length. (That's what she said?) You'll have to decide for yourself if it's worth it or not because quite frankly, we're sick of hearing our own voices after editing all this. Nonetheless, join in on the adventure of Charlotte's first brewery, it's first distillery, and the neighborhood who's name we apparently love to hate. And that's just the first half. We follow that up with a preview of eight of the first matchups in our Buzz Bracket. It's a deep dive into key players, offensive strategies, coaching changes, and more.
