Episode 315: Adam Wright is one of the most thoughtful wordsmiths in the Nashville songwriting community, one who's seen all sides of the Music Row machine. Working for a dozen years with Carnival Music, he's carved a niche for himself, scoring a couple of Grammy Award nominations and landing cuts by Lee Ann Womack, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Brandy Clark and Bruce Robison, among others. When he sets aside time to write songs purely for himself as an artist, remarkable things happen, and now he's releasing an epic 18-song collection called Nature Of Necessity, a masterwork that could only have been realized in Music City.

"What I Deserve" Over the course of almost fifteen albums, Kelly Willis has made a pretty good case that she's one of the greats. The Oklahoma-born singer/songwriter is not only a beautiful and affecting singer, her phrasing is filled with purring vowels, consonants fearlessly taking sharp corners and delicious diction which powers each number with authority, vulnerability and grace. Willis' career has a pretty good stockpile of highlights and here's a few for you: She's collaborated with Allison Kraus, Vince Gill, Jay Faraar of Son Volt and Chuck Prophet, a few of her songs were in Thelma and Louise, she was in the movie Bob Roberts, she's played all over the world, including Hardly Strictly Bluegrass here in San Francisco, put out a holiday album with her ex-husband Bruce Robison and is now celebrating the 25th anniversary of her 1999 album What I Deserve. And what to say about that album? Well, it's an absolute classic and the new edition is a must-have. Kelly is really sweet and very honest and this was a delight. www.kellywillis.com (http://www.kellywillis.com) www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com Instagram: @emberspodcast Bluesky: @emberspodcast Editor: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com (mailto:editor@stereoembersmagazine.com)

The Octopus Overlooked By Science | Squid With ‘Giant' Eggs Could Be New Species

The larger Pacific striped octopus is unusually social. But it wasn't recognized by scientists until 2015, despite one man's efforts. And, a deep-sea squid in the family Gonatidae was filmed cradling large eggs for its body size, which suggests it's an entirely new species.Why It Took Decades For This Octopus To Be RecognizedOctopus mating behaviors can be quite deadly. Many species are cannibalistic, making the entire prospect of mating dangerous, and female octopuses often die after laying one clutch of eggs. Their cannibalistic tendencies mean that octopuses don't socialize as much as other animals.But the larger Pacific striped octopus (LPSO) is different. For one, they live together in colonies. And mating is not only a safer proposition, it involves beak-to-beak “kissing.” Plus, females can lay eggs repeatedly, even tending to embryos at various stages of development.But because these behaviors are so uncharacteristic of most octopuses, the scientific community didn't officially recognize their existence until 2015, despite the decades-long effort of a Panamanian diver and artist named Arcadio Rodaniche. When he tried to share his findings about the LPSO at a symposium and publish them in a journal, he was flatly rejected. But his persistent research and documentation of the species would eventually be validated when researchers were able to obtain and observe the octopuses in captivity.SciFri producer Kathleen Davis sits down with freelance science writer Kenna Hughes-Castleberry to talk about an article she reported for Science Friday about the late Rodaniche and his yearslong effort to get official scientific recognition for the LPSO.Read the story at sciencefriday.com.Squid With ‘Giant' Eggs Could Be A New SpeciesTo finish up our celebration of Cephalopod Week we wanted to share a bit of squid news. A group of researchers recently identified a potentially new squid species in the family Gonatidae. Scientists took a closer look at some video footage captured back in 2015 and found a deep-water squid that was cradling some rather large eggs, which was not in line with other squid of the same family.John Dankosky talks with Dr. Bruce Robison, midwater ecologist and senior scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, about this new discovery.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.  Subscribe to this podcast.

Singer-songwriter Bruce Robison is famous for writing highly intelligent, richly detailed country songs—that happen also to be incredibly sad. (See “Angry All the Time,” by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, and “Travelin' Soldier,” by the Chicks.) This week, he focuses on a track that first taught him how emotionally sophisticated country music can be, “Walkin,'” off Willie's 1974 masterpiece, Phases and Stages...before describing his own Willie tribute song, “What Would Willie Do,” and the weird reception Willie got in Bruce's hometown, rural Bandera, Texas, when he moved his band and family there after fleeing Nashville in 1971. (Hint: The hippies and rednecks didn't start getting along until Willie got to Austin a year later.)

For some, the process of making music can appear effortless. For others, bringing one's music to life might take decades. The music welling up in the heart and mind of its creator, like a fine wine, or in this case, one of the finest debut albums, by any artist, in any genre, in many decades. One could say that Tommy Taylor has one of those classic “you don't know me, but you've heard me” musician stories. He has spent years as the drummer and backing vocalist behind singer/songwriter (Grammy and Oscar winner) Christopher Cross and guitarist Eric Johnson. Tommy has also played behind: Stevie Ray Vaughan, Charlie Sexton, Will Sexton, Sara Hickman, Charlie and Bruce Robison, Kelly Willis, Jake Andrews, Jerry Jeff Walker, Ray Benson and Shawn Colvin.Tommy has been preparing himself and his music for years to become the album Across The Stars. It is a recording comprised of what Taylor calls “Chekovian vignettes” - nine cinematic stories filtered through a lifetime of insights and emotions, delivered in his tenor voice that falls somewhere between the lilt of Jackson Browne's and the edge of Don Henley. Taylor's lyrics are incredibly personal and incredibly universal simultaneously. Who hasn't felt like the people in your life were there to “Let You Down?” Taylor describes himself as an observer. However, the songs on this album are filled with the stories and experience you get by living - not by watching. At the end of the 9 songs, you are left with a man's personal catharsis, and you are the richer for having had the experience. After years of his friends and colleagues encouraging Tommy to write his songs and get them recorded, Taylor finally went in the studio and started work on the album. With a little help from Christopher Cross, legendary record producer and keyboardist Michael Omartian (Christopher Cross, Donna Summer, Rod Stewart, Amy Grant, Steely Dan, Glen Campbell, Boz Scaggs, Jerry Garcia and Dolly Parton) agreed to play on Tommy's album.  After finishing his work and hearing the final mixes Michael said: “Man, this is a really good album. Everything sounds great. Wonderful songs and the overall production and musicianship is first rate.” That was on top of praise for Taylor's vocals on various tracks, and his declaration that the song “Everybody's Gonna Let You Down” “sounds like a smash.” You might catch yourself singing along to that chorus the very first time you hear it.Michael Omartian's words are a priceless endorsement, especially for an artist whose debut work has taken a few decades to arrive. But in his Across The Stars liner notes, Taylor explains, “This first effort is a culmination of a lifetime of personal ups and downs, and interests and pursuits.” Isn't that a perfect description of a life well-lived? Across the Stars was released on September 22nd, 2023.https://tommytaylor.com/homeSupport the showThanks for listening for more information or to listen to other podcasts or watch YouTube videos click on this link >https://thetroutshow.com/

pWotD Episode 2427: The Chicks Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.With 419,934 views on Sunday, 24 December 2023 our article of the day is The Chicks.The Chicks (formerly the Dixie Chicks) are an American country music band from Dallas, Texas. Since 1995, the band has consisted of Natalie Maines (lead vocals, guitar) and sisters Martie Maguire (vocals, fiddle, mandolin, guitar) and Emily Strayer (vocals, guitar, banjo, Dobro). Maguire and Strayer, both née Erwin, founded the band in 1989 in Dallas, Texas, with bassist Laura Lynch and vocalist and guitarist Robin Lynn Macy. They performed bluegrass and country music, busking and touring the bluegrass festival circuits and small venues for six years without attracting a major label. In 1992, Macy left and Lynch became the lead vocalist. Upon signing with Monument Records Nashville in 1997 and replacing Lynch with Maines, the Dixie Chicks achieved success with their albums Wide Open Spaces (1998) and Fly (1999). After Monument closed its Nashville branch, the Dixie Chicks moved to Columbia Records for Home (2002). These albums achieved multi-platinum sales in the United States, Canada, and Australia, along with several charting singles on the American Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. "There's Your Trouble", "Wide Open Spaces", "You Were Mine", "Cowboy Take Me Away", "Without You", and a cover of Bruce Robison's "Travelin' Soldier" reached number one. The Dixie Chicks also reached number one on the Adult Contemporary chart with their 2002 cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide".Days before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Maines told a London audience that the Dixie Chicks did not endorse the war and were ashamed of US President George W. Bush being from Texas. The remarks triggered boycotts in the US and a backlash from fans. After a hiatus, the Dixie Chicks released Taking the Long Way in 2006, an album informed by the backlash. "Not Ready to Make Nice" became their biggest crossover single, reaching number four on the Billboard Hot 100. After another hiatus, Maguire and Strayer released an album in 2009 as the Court Yard Hounds. The Dixie Chicks reunited to tour in the 2010s. In 2020, they removed "Dixie" from their name, citing negative connotations, and released their first album in 14 years, Gaslighter.The Chicks have won 13 Grammy Awards, including five in 2007 for Taking the Long Way, which received the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, and its single "Not Ready to Make Nice", which received the Grammy Award for Record of the Year and the Grammy Award for Song of the Year. By July 2020, with 33 million certified albums sold and sales of 27.9 million albums in the US, the Chicks had become the best-selling all-woman band and best-selling country group in the US during the Nielsen SoundScan era (1991–present).This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:58 UTC on Monday, 25 December 2023.For the full current version of the article, see The Chicks on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Aria Neural.

Country singer-songwriter Summer Dean is a great example of persistence paying off. Taking small gigs while still working as a schoolteacher, she had a bigger vision, and kept bugging folks for better gigs (sometimes contacting them every 48 hours until they gave in) to the point that she could be a musician full-time and walk away from the classroom. Only 5 years into her career, she has already received 2 wins at the Ameripolitan Music Awards, snagged opening slots for Marty Stuart, Dale Watson and Asleep at the Wheel, and appeared at SXSW 2023. One of Summer's ultimate visions is an induction into the Grand Ole Opry and no doubt she'll keep pursuing it with her typical tenacity. For now, she has completed her second full-length album called The Biggest Life, produced by acclaimed songwriter Bruce Robison.

Willie Nelson is a world-renowned musical legend, but in Texas, he's something more: a beloved native son and benevolent elder who's brought countless new talents into the family fold — often during the famed Luck Reunions at his ranch outside of Austin. As Willie's 89th birthday neared, Luck Presents, the entity creating those events, and Bruce Robison, the singer-songwriter, producer and force behind all-analog record label The Next Waltz, wanted to celebrate his influence and impact with a Texas-sized party. On May 1, 2022, Sheryl Crow, Nathaniel Rateliff, Steve Earle, Robert Earl Keen, Margo Price, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Vincent Neil Emerson, Shinyribs, Emily Gimble and Robison serenaded their inspiration with songs plucked from the greatest canon in American music. Fortunately, Robison rolled tape. The result, One Night in Texas: The Next Waltz's Tribute to the Red Headed Stranger, will be released on April 28, 2023 — one day before Willie turns 90. We talk with Bruce Robison about the selection process between song and artist, and the end result of this collaboration honoring the red headed stranger known as Willie Nelson. www.newwestrecords.com © 2023 Lotta Dogs Productions LLC Showrunner and Executive Producer Emeritus: Tom Sabella Producer and Host (the guy who has a face for podcasting): Bob Bender Management Representation: Chuck Thompson for Thompson Entertainment Group, LLC Co-Producer - Audio/Video Editor (the man behind the curtain): Mark Sabella Director of Video and Continuity (the brains of the entire operation): Deborah Halle Marketing and Social Media (all knowing): Sarah Fleshner for 362 Entertainment All Around Problem Solver (and Mental Health Therapist for us): Connie Ribas Recorded inside what could be an old beat up Airstream Trailer located somewhere on what's left of Music Row in Nashville TN (Man we sure do miss Noshville, and the Longhorn Steakhouse) Mixed and Mastered at Music Dog Studios in Nashville, TN Editing and Post at Midnight Express Studio located in Olian, NY Production Sound Design: Keith Stark Voice Over and Promo: Lisa Fuson Special Thanks to the creator and founder of the podcast, Tom Sabella, along with Traci Snow for producing and hosting over 100 episodes of the original "Business Side of Music" podcast and trusting us to carry on their legacy.

A new study from the National Education Association shows that, while Texas pays new teachers relatively well, our most experienced teachers are paid far less than the national average, lagging behind by $13,000 per year. A program launched last month to provide legal representation to low-income inmates at the Travis County Jail only made it nine days before exhausting its supply of staff. March of 2022 was officially the busiest month in the history of Austin Bergstrom International Airport, with nearly two million passengers departing and/or arriving - a 146% increase from the prior March. Chef Mashama Bailey, who runs the new Diner Bar and Grey Market in Austin's Thompson Hotel, has been named one of five finalists for the James Beard Award for best chef in the country, while Edgar Rico of Nixta Taqueria, Iliana de la Vega of El Naranjo, and Dai Due owner Jesse Griffiths are all semifinalists in various James Beard subcategories. An aggressive raccoon has set up shop on the University of Texas campus - as of yesterday it had bitten three students. UT officials advise that everyone steer clear. Adelbert's Brewing has announced that it will close as of the end of this October, as the building it has occupied for 11 years is set to be demolished. The brewery does not plan to relocate. Eeyore's Birthday Party, possibly Austin's most authentic celebration of weirdness, returns to Pease Park after a three year absence on Saturday. Nearby Georgetown has been identified in a survey as the best small city in Texas for starting a new business. A busy live music weekend approaches, with the official Moody Center grand opening shows with George Strait and Willie Nelson Friday and Saturday, Friday shows with My Morning Jacket at Waterloo Park's Moody Amphitheater, Built to Spill at the Mohawk, and AJR at Germania Insurance Amphitheater. Saturday sees Hot Chip at Stubb's, The Wailers at the Haute Spot and Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats at Moody Amphitheater at Waterloo Park, and on Sunday a Willie Nelson birthday celebration at Luck Ranch with Bruce Robison, Robert Earl Keen, Ray Wylie Hubbard and more, and Tori Amos at ACL Live. A little warmer today as we hit 85, and warmer still for the weekend with upper 80's Friday through Sunday, with a decent chance of early morning rain on Friday and a more middling chance through the weekend.

It is a cliché that blood is thicker than water, but its also true. And my next guests are living proof. Bonnie and Eleanor Whitmore of the Whitmore Sisters have just released their first album as a duo. Ghost Stories is an emotional powerhouse. And it is full of inspiration. Eleanor and Bonnie have been in and around the Americana genre for pretty much their whole lives. Eleanor and her husband Chris Masterson make up folk rock duo The Mastersons, and they also play in Steve Earle's backing band The Dukes. Bonnie, meanwhile, has released a number albums over the years and has played with a who's who—James McMurtry, Bruce Robison, Kelly Willis, on and on and on. Despite their roots, Ghost Stories is their first album together, and let's hope there's more to come. We talk about four songs —Hurtin' for a Letdown, Ghost Stories, Greek Tragedy, and The Ballad of Sissy and Porter. We talk about death, drugs, influences, and, of course, songwriting. We also talk about life—celebrating and appreciating the simple act of being alive. This interview gets pretty heavy at times, so be ready. It is my high honor to welcome Eleanor and Bonnie Whitmore to For Songs.

ALL HEART MULTI-HYPHENATEActor/Musician Savannah Welch is known for her acting roles in the HBO Max series TITANS, Oscar nominated film BOYHOOD directed by Richard Linklater; TREE OF LIFE starring Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain; and a recurring guest starring role as ex-Marine Dawn on the History Channel's SIX…among a colorful portfolio of independent films, in which Welch often deep dives into characters informed by varying degrees of music.​Growing up in Nashville, she was submerged in the southern culture of the country music industry, raised by her beautiful Okie folks who miraculously evolved into progressive hippies of the 80's variety. The landscape was a terrain of spiritual sculpture and creative inspiration with permission to follow it; yet, the level of talent and validity existing within this environment scripted intimidation that set a bar too high to start. Most influential were the musicians and songwriters including her acclaimed father, Kevin Welch, and prodigious older brother Dustin. Savannah decided that's what “they” did, and pursued a career in film production and acting…all the while, playing and writing songs when no one was looking. She co-wrote many songs that have been cut on other artists' records, including the title track on the Bruce Robison and Kelly Willis' Americana Music Awards album of the year nominated, Cheater's Game, I Had To Give That Up Too recorded by Sammy Kershaw, and is the recipient of several SESAC Awards. Eventually, performing caught up to her and she became one of the founding members of the Texas/Tennessee collaborative girl group, The Trishas.​Savannah has always been passionate about parenting, long before she had her son. She trained to become a birth doula, and an accredited Attached At The Heart Parent educator in 2014.Connect with Savannah: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/savannahwelch/?hl=en Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/vanrosewelch Twitter - https://twitter.com/vanrosewelch Website - https://www.savannahwelch.com/ Follow The Story Box on Social MediaINSTAGRAM ► - https://www.instagram.com/thestoryboxpodcast/ TWITTER ► - https://twitter.com/jay_fantom FACEBOOK ► - https://www.facebook.com/thestoryboxpodcast WEBSITE ► - https://thestoryboxpodcast.com/SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE!

Dentro de poco más de un mes se edita el décimo quinto álbum de Jackson Browne, Downhill From Everywhere, el primero en seis años y que supone un regreso al intimismo que nos dejaron sus primitivos trabajos, hace casi medio siglo. Es una metáfora de la propia vida representada en la ciudad de Los Ángeles que hoy abre nuestro programa. Rodney Crowell ha cantado a su amnesia total transitoria, un episodio benigno y por suerte temporal de pérdida de memoria, que sufrió en plena pandemia. Es uno de los temas más introspectivos de su nuevo disco que resume cuestiones relativas a encontrar respuestas y consuelo en el caos. Songs and Music from She's the One que Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers pusieron en el mercado en 1996 será reeditada a primeros de julio con cuatro temas inéditos. Esta vez, el disco pasa a llamarse Angel Dream, aunque hoy mismo está en el mercado de manera especial para celebrar el Record Store Day en una edición limitada en vinilo de color azul. Viajar es una de las grandes recompensas de un músico, y Travis Linville lo sabe bien. Con JD McPherson como productor de su nuevo álbum, I’m Still Here, inyecta el afán de volver a la carretera sin mirar atrás, bajar las ventanillas del coche, subir el volumen… y recuperar el tiempo perdido. Producido por Sadler Vader, que se ha llevado sus compañeros de la 400 Unit de Jason Isbell, incluyendo al líder, Zach Schmidt se ha descolgado con un álbum de extraordinaria solidez donde encontramos canciones que se escuchan en bucle. Pero no olvidemos a Brock Gonyea desde las tierras del estado de Nueva York compartiendo canciones del presente que parecen temas perdidos en grabaciones de décadas casi olvidadas. “We’ll Be Alright”, una oda al amor, es muy posiblemente la canción del nuevo álbum de Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real en la que su líder se manifiesta más cercano a las formas de su padre, Willie Nelson. A Few Stars Apart, su nuevo disco, se editó ayer incidiendo en la conexión entre todos nosotros, dando una importancia fundamental a la familia, los amigos y el propio yo. Otra de las bandas que se ha convertido en habitual del Bunker de Bruce Robison es Reckless Kelly, que comandan los hermanos Braun. Su reciente grabación analógica de “Thinkin' Bout You All Night” nos devuelve la sensación de normalidad. Es algo que también ocurre con The Flatlanders, el trío que conforman desde hace décadas Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore y Butch Hancock . "She Belongs to Me" es una de las canciones que se han incluido en Treasure of Love, su primer disco en más de una década. Asleep At The Wheel, la mejor banda de carretera de la historia y toda una leyenda para los amantes del Western swing, quiere celebrar su medio siglo de existencia con Better Times, un doble álbum que se editará en octubre pero que se anticipa ahora con ese tema central y dos de apoyo que transmiten esperanza en estos tiempos. Incluso Ed Jurdi y Gordy Quist de Band of Heathens han colaborado con una canción que muestra su versatilidad. Y para cerrar el programa de hoy hemos contado con The Shootouts, el grupo establecido al noroeste del estado de Ohio que hace guiños a las canciones que sonaban en las radios de country music en la década de los 90, como es evidente en "Saturday Night Town".

Caleb Caudle creció en los Apalaches y escribe canciones de tinturas oscurecidas, viajando por carreteras secundarias y creando textos de la contundencia de “Front Porch”, perfecto para abrir hoy nuestro tiempo de radio. Por su parte, Danny Burns pasó su infancia en el condado irlandés de Donegal y empezó a viajar de una a otra costa del Atlántico. 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

Un verano casi sanador como alternativa es la apuesta sonora en el comienzo de TOMA UNO de la mano de Lukas Nelson & The Promise Of The Real, con una canción que anticipa su nuevo álbum, A Few Stars Apart, posiblemente uno de los más esperados en estos tiempos. Se trata de "Perennial Bloom (Back To You)" que nos permite volver a insistir en Blackberry Smoke y su último proyecto, You Hear Georgia, una introspección mirando a la tierra que les vio nacer y a sus gentes. En este segundo sentido se manifiesta “Ain’t The Same”, su nuevo single. The Shootouts es un quinteto de honky tonk que recoge el espíritu de Bakersfield y el twang factor para dejarnos canciones como “Everything I Know”, uno de los temas más sugestivos de su nuevo álbum, Bullseye, con guiños a las canciones que sonaban en las radios de country music en la década de los 90. Saltando a las tierras de Colorado nos encontramos con The Barlow, que han presentado un segundo trabajo, Horseshoe Lounge, con un sonido que le es propio a la Red Dirt music. Vandoliers han vuelto a posponer su gira española debido a la pandemia hasta junio de 2022, pero hemos recibido el regalo de una nueva canción del calibre de “Waiting On A Train”, grabada en The Bunker de Bruce Robison, allá en las lejanas tierras de Lockhart, en Texas, y publicada a través de su proyecto The Next Waltz. Las más recientes noticias del quinteto Teague Brothers Band tienen banda sonora gracias a “Don’t Want To Go Home”, la primera canción desde 2019, que mantiene esa relación natural entre el folk, el country y el rock. La música de las Américas se hace marcadamente presente en la más reciente canción de Track Docks, ese cuarteto de buenos amigos que en su nuevo trabajo Where to Now?, nos dejan una canción como "River of Gold" que recuerda la película Aguirre, la cólera de Dios, que protagonizó Klaus Kinski hace casi 50 años en la perenne búsqueda de El Dorado. Por otro lado, Parker Millsap mantiene una capacidad para que las palabras y las melodías se conecten. Su quinto trabajo, Be Here Instead, tiene un tono optimista casi impropio de estos tiempos, impulsando las relaciones personales sobre las virtuales. The Brother Brothers destilan un folk acústico intimista con arreglos casi minimalistas. Lanzan su segundo disco, Calla Lily, que perfecciona lo que descubrimos y que se abre con un deseo compartido por todos de volver a la carretera en “On The Road Again”. Este próximo mes de mayo se reedita Déjà Vú, el primer álbum de Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, que apareció en 1970 , en una caja de cinco discos que nos permite conocer la gestación de un álbum infaltable en la historia de la música. “Our House” se ha convertido en una de las canciones más significativas de aquella aventura que ahora escuchamos en su primitiva maqueta antes de conmemorar también los 50 años de Sticky Fingers de los Rolling Stones, posiblemente el disco más americano de la banda británica. Aquel disco dejó dos canciones que pusieron en entredicho la capacidad de Mick Jagger y Keith Richards para componer temas de ese calado. Hablamos de "Dead Flowers" y "Wild Horses", que nosotros hemos preferido escuchar en las grabaciones de Townes Van Zandt y los Flying Burrito Brothers. Escuchar audio

También ha regresado a la sencillez Jeremy Parsons en un nuevo álbum de mirada al pasado y esperanza de recorrer nuevos caminos. Esa mirada atrás es mucho más intensa en los Bellamy Brothers que junto a John Anderson rinden homenaje a los puntales de la country music.

Richie Albright, batería de Waylon Jennings desde 1961 y una leyenda de la Outlaw music, ha muerto el pasado martes y hemos querido recordarle en los Waymore's Outlaws y junto a Shooter Jennings, a quien su padre le puso Albright como segundo nombre. Y en la despedida nos alegramos especialmente por la publicación de un álbum de temas inéditos del actor Harry Dean Stanton, que recupera su inolvidable faceta musical. Escuchar audio

Entre el 5 y el 10 de enero de este extraño 2020, se celebró en Steamboat Springs, una ciudad arropada por las majestuosas montañas del Oeste del estado de Colorado, el trigésimo quinto aniversario de su festival anual, convertido en uno de los más antiguos de Estados Unidos. En aquella ocasión, un buen número de músicos, fundamentalmente tejanos, rindieron homenaje a Cody Canada y a la música de Cross Canadian Ragweed tal y como se resume en el álbum que se pondrá a la venta el próximo 22 de enero, The Years: A Musicfest Tribute to Cody Canada and the Music of Cross Canadian Ragweed. Entre una enorme lista de participantes estaban Reckless Kelly, la banda de los hermanos Willy y Cody Braun, nativos de Ohio pero residentes en Texas desde finales de los 90, que recuperaron para la ocasión "Fightin' For", la canción que abrió Garage, el tercer álbum de Cross Canadian Rageweed hace 15 años. Este homenaje ha sido una de las mejores formas de expresar cómo la música de Cody Canada en sus distintos proyectos sonoros ha influido personal y profesionalmente. Y otro de los ejemplos es el de la Randy Rogers Band, que en 2004, producidos por Radney Foster, grabaron “This Time Around” que Cody Canada y Randy Rogers compusieron juntos y que un año después formó parte de Garage, el tercer álbum de los Ragweed. Estamos ante uno de los más brillantes músicos, siempre relacionado con la Red Dirt Music. Desde 1994 fue el líder de Cross Canadian Ragweed, formados en Yukom y una de las bandas emblemáticas de la Red Dirt Music, cuya inspiración vino siempre de las tierras rojas de su entorno natural. Dejaron la carretera tras 15 años de carrera. Radney Foster también fue el mentor del cuarteto ante Tim DuBois para que los incluyera en aquel proyecto discográfico llamado Universal South. Él y Tony Brown les dieron libertad para realizar su trabajo y sin perder la frescura de sus primeros registros fueron edificando edificios sonoros mucho más armados y consistentes. En 2007 Cross Canadian Ragweed publicaban Mission California, su cuarto álbum, que fue grabado en San Diego, aunque las esencias se mantenían con canciones como “In Oklahoma”, compuesta por Cody Canada junto a Stoney LaRue y que pasó a ser la más popular de la banda. A comienzos de 2016, Cody Canada and The Departed, la siguiente banda formada por Cody nos sorprendieron con la edición de "All Nighter" junto a miembros de Reckless Kelly y Micky and the Motorcars. Compuesta por Cody Canada, se filmó un video del tema en uno de los honky-tonk más legendarios de Texas, el Floore's Country Store de Helotes. Para ello contó con los Brauns, Willy y Cody de Reckless Kelly, y Micky y Gary de Micky And The Motorcars. Pero a ellos se añadió el gran patriarca, Muzzie Braun, y sus respectivas familias. “All Nighter” estaba dedicada a Mark "Gus" McCoy, bajista de los Motorcars que murió de manera trágica en 2012. Lo último que hemos sabido de Cody Canada es su participación en el tercer volumen de The Next Waltz, el proyecto de Bruce Robison. En esta nueva publicación que ya anticipamos hace meses en el programa no hay solo canciones clásicas. También hay temas nuevos, como el que ha elegido el tejano de Pampa, fijándose en Adam Wright, un compositor de Nashville que ha firmado canciones para nombres tan relevantes como los de Garth Brooks, Lee Ann Womack o Alan Jackson (que, por cierto, es su tío), además de Randy Rogers que ha grabado "I'll Never Get Over You" en su último disco. El ha dado una tonalidad especial a "Wonder If The World Can Wait That Long", un tema de los que ya parecen no componerse de manera habitual y que, seguramente, en tiempos pasados, se hubiera convertido en un clásico. Por suerte, nos encontramos con canciones e incluso con discos completos que pueden convertirse en clásicos. Uno de los mejores ejemplos es Startin’ Over de Chris Stapleton. Con evidentes tonalidades sonoras que traen viejos recuerdos de The Band, y especialmente de su inolvidable “The Weight”, “Maggie’s Song” es un tema dedicado a su perra, una mezcla entre labrador y terrier, que murió el pasado 2019 con 14 años. Cuenta cómo la encontraron en un carro de la compra abandonado en el parking de un supermercado, su vida y sus últimas horas, con una emoción muy fácil de entender por quienes alguna vez hemos tenido cerca a esos maravillosos seres y hemos sufrido su marcha. En los últimos años estamos asistiendo a como un buen número de compositores de grandes canciones popularizadas por artistas de cierto renombre han salido del anonimato para ponerse ante un micrófono e interpretan sin intermediarios sus propias canciones. Chris Stapleton es uno de los casos más evidentes, pero no el único. Ahí entra en escena Ward Davis, por ejemplo, que acaba de publicar su Lp Black Cats And Crows. Nacido en Monticello, del estado de Arkansas, se trasladó a Nashville hace 20 años para convertirse en un profesional de la composición, además de trabajar como teclista de algunos músicos de Music City y formar su propia banda, The Beagles, con quienes llegó a publicar un EP. Debutó en solitario hace cinco años y también comprobó que sus canciones tenían interés para Willie Nelson y Merle Haggard, y sobre todo para Cody Jinks, que eligió hasta tres temas para su álbum Lifers. A partir de ahí todo fue más fácil y en este nuevo registro deja piezas mucho más que notables, como “Nobody”. Su voz sigue manteniendo ecos familiares de Neil Young, aquellos con los que se presentó en escenarios españoles en 2011. El poderío de sus comienzos no lo ha perdido este músico de Missouri con una enorme carga emocional capaz de evocar algunos de los mejores momentos del folk-rock de los 70. Sin embargo, con el paso del tiempo, Israel Nash ha ido caminando hacia una cierta reinvención desde que dejó de lado su apellido Gripka. De hecho, Lifted, editado en 2018, hizo honor a su título con una continua mirada hacia arriba. A finales del invierno, en marzo de 2021, regresará con Topaz, su primer álbum desde entonces, lleno de sentimientos tan comunes en estos días como son el dolor y la esperanza. Lo ha grabado en su estudio casero en el corazón del Texas Hill Country y la primera muestra sonora es “Canyonheart”, que forma parte de un EP de cinco canciones de adelanto.  El próximo 2021 al que nos agarramos casi con desesperación nos va a dejar, al menos, regalos tan deliciosos como las últimas grabaciones en solitario de Neal Casal, que decidió abandonarnos en el verano de 2019. A finales del próximo mes de febrero se editarán en un single de 7” pulgadas dos nuevas canciones para recaudar fondos para la Neal Casal Music Foundation, cuyo objetivo es el de proporcionar instrumentos musicales a niños y brindar apoyo de salud mental a los artistas. "Everything Is Moving" es una canción que el músico de Denville, en Nueva Jersey, empezó a componer en 2013 pero que ha sido terminada por sus amigos en este año, como ocurre con “Green Moon”, la cara B de ese vinilo por publicarse y que ahora podemos anticipar.  2020 ha sido un año en el que el aislamiento ha propiciado el recurrir a los recuerdos. Seguro que muchos de nosotros hemos recuperado fotos, libros, discos y muchas más cosas que casi creíamos perdidas. En el caso de la música, para muchos de nuestros artistas más cercanos también ha sido el momento de validar el pasado y el caso de Tom Petty es fundamental con la publicación de su ya mítico Wildflowers & All The Rest, un disco al que tendremos que regresar muy pronto. El pasado miércoles tuvo lugar un encuentro en streaming en el que el periodista David Fricke, editor de la revista Rolling Stone, reunió a artistas y directores que trabajaron en los vídeos de Tom Petty a lo largo de su carrera. Tras una hora de charla se estrenó el nuevo video de "Something Could Happen", que ha protagonizado la actriz Lauren Cohan, bien conocida por la serie The Walking Dead. Esa canción fue una de las diez que quedaron fuera de la primitiva edición de Wildflowers. Han pasado 45 años desde que Rick Danko cantara “It Makes No Difference” por vez primera en 1975 dentro del álbum Northern Lights Southern Cross del quinteto canadiense. Una impecable balada de country-soul donde se expresa la incapacidad por superar una relación fallida a través de metáforas que tienen que ver con las nubes bajas, la lluvia constante y la falta del sol. Ahora, toda esa melancolía está impresa en esta monumental versión que The Band Of Heathens han realizado en la edición número 28 de su Remote Transmission con una invitada tan especial como Allison Moorer, que realiza una interpretación perfecta.

#139 - Get A Leg Up With Chad Harvey

It's been a solid 12 years, packed with earned life experiences and songwriting since Chad Harvey has released a new studio album. 2008 saw the release of his Get Lit album which provided a platform to tour through 2011. Initially to Harvey, that was a good thing. “The live shows to me are what it's all about. That is where you connect with your fans and I lay it all out there on the line and don't hold anything back—whether we are playing for five people or 500 people.” The relentless schedule started to show its weight and while being nudged by the label (Indie 500 Records) to start tracking the follow-up album, Harvey admits: “I was getting to the point of burn out; playing several nights a week while having to still maintain a day job to survive in Nashville.” He knew some rejuvenation was needed and took a two-week trip to Australia. On his flight back to the States he met his future wife and now they share two children with a full life. . . Except for one thing, Harvey exclaims: “Music!”  With his creative cannon loaded and idea book bursting with new song titles, Harvey tracked Run From the Sound in 2015 alongside his longtime GRAMMY®-nominated producer Marc Johnson.  Every once in awhile a singer-songwriter comes along that moves people to action—not necessarily a message to politicians for peace in wartime but instead a holler to the wallflowers to grab a cold beer and cut the rug at the local honky-tonk, sometimes a call to an estranged lover to come home—Chad Harvey is a songwriter whose songs do all of these things and more.   Chad Harvey is a true American original born in Evansville, and raised in nearby Lynnville—that's Southern Indiana to the uninformed—just down the highway from Indiana's most famous musical export, John Mellencamp. . . an artist to whom Harvey has been compared. However, Harvey is far from a knock-off, Harvey delivers his self-penned emotive stories with an inimitable whiskey-stained voice. “Heyburn,” inspired by the small town of Heyburn, Idaho, spotlights Harvey's ability to capture the voice of the many living in small towns across America and it's because he was one of them. “This song idea came from a friend of mine, Craig Smith. He was traveling through Idaho and stopped for the night in Heyburn. He called me that night and told me about the place and how there was not much going on in the town, and how he imagined that if he lived there, he would want to get out. This struck a chord with me as it reminded me exactly of my hometown of Lynnville, Indiana. A small town of about 500 people in Southwestern Indiana that was built in the middle of the coal mines. Growing up there, all I wanted to do is get out and see what else was out there in the world.”     A gifted writer and performer equipped with a six-string Gibson and a Midwestern drawl, Harvey also sports rough and tumble good looks reminiscent of a young Elvis Presley and a cool swagger that calls to mind another Hoosier native named James Dean. Through his songs, he says what he means and means what he says.  With aspirations greater than what Indiana had to offer, Chad fled to Nashville, TN where he enrolled at Belmont University to “learn about the record business;” however, he found himself learning more about the music business by meeting people, listening to classic records, and watching bands perform live in local clubs.   On one cold winter night, a pivotal moment happened, Chad tuned in to Austin City Limits to watch John Prine perform; and on the same show, he discovered an artist who would help guide his musical direction: Todd Snider. Considering this a sign, Harvey picked up and moved to Austin to walk the same Texas soil as his heroes and to develop his own songwriting chops and performing skills.    Through Snider, Harvey was introduced to the Texas music scene that included Jerry Jeff Walker, Jack Ingram, Guy Clark, Chris Knight, Billy Joe Shaver, Charlie Robison, Bruce Robison to name a few. Chad proceeded to play every honky-tonk, voodoo haunt, and BBQ joint with a makeshift stage on the same trail blazed by Steve Earle and Townes Van Zandt years earlier including being a regular at the prestigious Kent Finlay's open mic night at Cheatham Street Warehouse in San Marcos, TX.  Chad Harvey eventually moved back to Indiana to record his first full-length effort, Get Lit, backed by an amazing cast of supporting musicians including Mellencamp-alum Dane Clark on drums, GRAMMY®-winner Lloyd Maines on steel, and three-time GRAMMY®-winner Larry Franklin on fiddle. The end result was an astonishingly cool slice of Americana. ‘Get Lit' was released in 2008 and broke into the Americana top 100 and Chad toured extensively throughout the southeast and Midwest supporting the release.  “Run From The Sound,” the title track off the new album, brings an introspective Tom Petty lyrical approach with a Mike Campbell-style approach to the guitar tracks. “This song was somewhat of a surprise to me,” notes Harvey.  “When I arrived at the Pop Machine Studio to start tracking the record, Marc Johnson (Producer) said that he wanted me to hear something. He played me the song and I was immediately drawn to it. After listening to it a few times, I realized what the song was about. He wrote it about a relationship I had been in several years before. The song captured everything about it. I added a few of my touches to the song and we cut it.”   The vitality of Chad's live shows is captured in Run From the Sound standouts such as “Heyburn,” “Rescue Me,” “Run From The Sound” and “Nashville Intermezzo.” Get in your pick-up truck, turn up the speakers as loud as they can go, and listen to Chad Harvey tell the truth…or at least something close to it.

Desde el logotipo que ha utilizado Neil Young para titular su último EP, The Times, parece evidente que el canadiense ha querido que su contenido sea una especie de noticiario, cantado en vez de escrito, abordando la confusión de estos tiempos y despertando recuerdos de su activismo. Para ello ha recurrido a versionar canciones propias de tintes políticos, como “Ohio”, con el fantasma de Nixon, y "Lookin’ for a Leader", que reescribió desde Living with War para dirigirla a Donald Trump. Además de nuevas versiones acústicas de "Alabama", "Southern Man" y "Campaigner", ha recurrido incluso a Bob Dylan para traer al presente "The Times They Are A-Changin" en una forma muy similar a como el bardo la creó. Acompañado simplemente por su guitarra y la armónica, Neil Young se muestra desnudo, cercano e incluso nostálgico. Neil Young sigue dando lustre a sus archivos con Neil Young Archives Volume II: 1972–1976 que saldrá a la luz el próximo día 20 exclusivamente a través de su web y contiene 10 discos y 131 cortes. Contiene 12 canciones nunca editadas, 49 versiones no escuchadas hasta ahora y un libro de tapa dura de 252 páginas con cientos de fotos. Hablamos de la etapa más prolífica de su carrera, que abarca de 1972 a 1976 e incluye álbumes como On The Beach, Tonight’s The Night, Zuma y Homegrown. Nos permite escuchar a Neil Young en solitario, formando parte de la Stills/Young Band y Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young o arropado por bandas como Crazy Horse, los Stray Gators y los Santa Monica Flyers. Esta versión alternativa de “Powderfinger” es una de las inéditas hasta el presente. La escuchamos por primera vez en 1979 cuando formó parte de Rust Never Sleeps pero Neil Young la había grabado en acústico cuatro años antes y pensó en incluirla en Chrome Dreams, un disco que nunca se publicó. Incluso llegó a enviar una cinta a su amigo Ronnie Van Zant por si quería utilizarla para el nuevo álbum de Lynyrd Skynyrd. Pero este murió en aquel trágico accidente de avión y nunca la grabaron. La actividad frenética de Neil Young nos deja también otro disco que añadir a la larga lista de novedades Se trata de Return to Greendale, un conjunto de audio y video del concierto celebrado en Toronto por Neil Young & Crazy Horse durante la gira de 2003 en apoyo de su álbum conceptual Greendale, una especie de ópera-rock sobre la familia Green, residente en un pequeño pueblo. A través de sus distintos miembros, trata sobre la obsesión mediática, la propaganda institucional de la etapa de Bush-hijo en la presidencia y la necesidad de luchar a favor del medio ambiente. Poco antes de publicarse aquel disco, Neil Young y Crazy Horse realizaron esa gira por Norteamérica interpretando las 10 canciones del álbum de forma secuencial junto a actores y bailarines que no contentó a casi nadie por lo inesperado. El propio artista dirigió la película del concierto y el documental con el seudónimo de Bernard Shakey. El próximo viernes, día 27 de celebrará el Black Friday de este año, para mantener su apoyo a las tiendas de discos independientes. Es evidente que en este 2020 la fecha cobra un significado especial. El Black Friday viene a ser una versión otoñal del Record Store Day, que en España se celebra desde el 2011, y añaden lanzamientos en vinilo con una edición limitada que está disponible en tiendas independientes y en formato físico. Willie Nelson será uno de los protagonistas de este próximo Black Friday con el lanzamiento en LP de una grabación histórica para el mítico programa de la televisión pública estadounidense Austin City Limits.El veterano músico tejano fue el protagonista del programa piloto de aquella aventura audiovisual que se mantiene en antena con su temporada número 46, además de ser el que ha aparecido en más ocasiones. Live at Austin City Limits 1976 contiene por primera vez en audio una actuación de Willie & The Family, filmada en 1976 y emitida como primer capítulo de la segunda temporada al año siguiente, en la que interpretan su clásico Red Headed Stranger de principio a fin. Aquella canción que dio nombre genérico al trabajo había sido compuesta en 1953 por Edith Lindeman y Carl Stutz, para Perry Como, aunque este no la llegó a grabar. Otra de las publicaciones más recomendables de este año para el Black Friday es la caja de John Prine Asylum LP Box (Rhino). Se trata de los tres LPs del artista con los discos de su etapa en el sello Asylum. Bruised Orange, editado en 1978, fue el quinto álbum de John Prine y el primero de los tres que grabó para Asylum. El músico de Illinois estaba desilusionado con Atlantic por su escaso apoyo a Common Sense, su álbum del 75, y firmó con el nuevo sello un contrato de tres discos. La necesidad de sentirse seguro hizo que recurriera a su amigo Steve Goodman para el trabajo de producción de un registro que se grabó en la Chicago Recording Company entre enero y marzo de 1978 y que sacaba a la luz el habla tensa y confesional del artista arropada por la intimidad de un folk-rock seductor. “That’s The Way The World Goes Round” tiene que ver con la hartura por el cinismo del mundo, añorando sus años infantiles. En 1979, John Prince publicó Pink Cadillac, su sexto álbum. El artista quería evidenciar su cariño por el primitivo rock and roll, dejando en segundo plano las letras de las canciones. Quería más continente que contenido y, de hecho, tan solo compuso cinco de los 10 temas que lo conformaron. Para ello contó con la producción de Knox y Jerry Phillips, hijo del legendario fundador de Sun Records, Sam Phillips, que también produjo dos de los temas. Se marcharon a Memphis y entre enero y marzo de 1979 consiguieron un montón de horas grabadas de las que eligieron algunas canciones clásicas que le encantaban a John Prine cuando era niño. Incluso estuvo invitado Billy Lee Riley. En contraposición a ese sonido, en el nostálgico "How Lucky", parece estar en el porche de casa acompañado de John Burns recordando aquella infancia. John Prine fue un maestro de la narrativa, ingenioso y siempre sincero, con raíces de sabor folk y country, aunque no era ajeno al rock & roll, el rhythm & blues o el rockabilly. El Covid nos lo arrebató el pasado 7 de abril en Vanderbilt University Medical Center de Nashville. Storm Windows, el séptimo registro de su discografía, fue el último grabado en una gran compañía como Asylum, ya que poco después se uniría a Al Bunetta y Dan Einstein para fundar Oh Boy Records, donde se editaron todas sus grabaciones posteriores. Recuperó un buen puñado de canciones que habían estado en el ambiente de las sesiones de su anterior trabajo, Pink Cadillac. Pero esta nueva aventura estaba más cerca de álbumes como Sweet Revenge y Common Sense, con un sonido más cohesionado y pulido. Mucho tuvo que ver en ello su marcha a los legendarios Muscle Shoals Sound Studios de Sheffield, en Alabama y la producción de Berry Beckett. "One Red Rose", que tiene que ver con una noche pasada con su primo Charlie Bill y donde Rachel Peer, su mujer por entonces, añadía unas armonías vocales deliciosas, fue una de nuestras canciones favoritas por entonces y lo sigue siendo ahora que hemos perdido a John Prine. Este pasado viernes, Guy Clark hubiera cumplido 79 años de no haber muerto en 2016 tras una larga enfermedad. Wade Bowen siempre ha tenido a Guy Clark como uno de sus referentes y su paso por The Bunker, el estudio favorito de los tejanos más enraizados en los últimos tiempos y propiedad de Bruce Robison, dejó esta magnífica versión de “She Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere”, una canción que el legendario músico de Monahans incluyó en su álbum de debut de hace 45 años Old No. 1, recordado como una de las joyas del country de todos los tiempos. Guy Clark formó parte de la escena musical de Texas y Nashville durante décadas aunque nunca tuvo la repercusión mayoritaria que su talento merecía. Si ayer escuchábamos “Asheville Nashville Austin”, uno de los cortes del nuevo álbum de The Band of Heathens, Stranger, esta vez hemos querido recrearnos en como han rendido homenaje a la figura de Guy Clark invitando a Todd Snider para interpretar juntos “L.A. Freeway”, otra de las piezas maestras de Old No.1 que dejaba bien claro que el artista tejano, tristemente desaparecido, no tenía demasiada consideración por la ciudad de Los Angeles y prefirió establecerse en Nashville. Ya decimos que esta pandemia nos ha obligado a todos prácticamente reinventarnos para sobrevivir en tan duros momentos. Los músicos son una buena muestra y su constancia en salir adelante no está dejando momentos inesperados como el del pasado 2 de octubre la Fundación Epicure realizó dos eventos en el noroeste de Estados Unidos para recaudar fondos. Brandi Carlile y el guitarrista de Pearl Jam, Mike McCready, se unieron para interpretar un par de temas como parte del concierto benéfico en vivo transmitido a través de internet. La pareja realizó una versión de "Red Dirt Girl", el tema que en 2000 dio nombre genérico a uno de los álbumes más significativos en la carrera de Emmylou Harris y donde la artista de Alabama hizo hincapié en su faceta como compositora. El pasado año escuchábamos a un dúo llamado Black Pumas, residentes en Austin, con una versión de “Fast Car”, la canción que Tracy Chapman nos regaló en 1988 y nos hizo reflexionar sobre nuestra lucha diaria por que valga la pena vivir. La cantante y compositora de Cleveland, en Ohio, publicó su disco de debut con su propio nombre en el título cuando se acercaba el final de la era Reagan y comenzaba la de la familia Bush. Su segundo single y la canción que abrió aquel disco era "Talkin 'Bout a Revolution", hablando de la lucha de clases y advirtiendo que los pobres se levantarán y recuperarán lo que es suyo. El pasado lunes, Tracy Chapman actuó por primera vez en directo en televisión desde hacía cinco años. Y lo hizo para interpretar aquel tema, acompañada simplemente por su guitarra y sin ningún tipo de adornos. Faltaba muy poco para el Election Day. Escuchar audio

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.

On Episode 121, I'm joined by Tony Kamel of Austin band Wood & Wire. The bluegrass Americana outfit just released their fourth studio full-length, the excellent No Matter Where It Goes from Here, a few weeks back. Working out of The Zone out in Dripping Springs, Texas with co-producer/engineer Pat Manske, the quartet has been able to stretch their legs. Mainly by having ample time to experiment with fresh and new recording setups and utilize the studio's vast array of vintage analog gear. With that in mind, Wood & Wire's latest sees the band pushing their boundaries creating a dynamic, robust, and vibrant sonic punch. Songs like "Pigs" and "Home and the Banjo" offer clever, introspective commentary on society while the epic closing rambler "Clamp's Chute" scratches that bluegrass instrumental jam itch.During this conversation, we talk about the recording and writing of the album, how the pandemic has affected Kamel's creative process, the joy & frustration of that creative process, recording at Bruce Robison's The Next Waltz, and Wood & Wire's democratic approach to creating songs and albums.This episode's presenting partner is Desert Door Texas Sotol.

Kelly Winrich y Sam Outlaw siguen al lado de Michaela Anne tras el éxito de su álbum Desert Rose con la producción de un nuevo trabajo aún sin fecha de edición, pero con un par de canciones que ya hemos podido anticipar en el tiempo de TOMA UNO. Después del esperanzador “Good Times” llega un toque mucho más cercano a la tradición de la country music con “Burn My Bridges”. La canción surgió cuando la propia Michaela entendió que su vida no estaba encaminada de la mejor forma posible. Al parecer, una mañana de resaca decidió que no podía seguir viviendo así y que debía escribir sobre ello. El problema es que Rodney Crowell ya había compuesto muchos años antes "Ain’t Living Long Like This", por lo que decidió darle un toque más cercano al honky tonk con el piano Brian Whelan y el pedal steel de Philip Sterk. Así nació “Burn My Bridges”. Cuando Muscle Shoals y Nashville se encuentran ahí está Skylar Gregg, que acaba de publicar su tercer álbum, Roses, cuyo tema central es realmente conmovedor, hablando sobre los seres queridos perdidos con una tesitura vocal que recuerda a Dolly Parton. Con sede en Nashville, donde se mudó su familia para poder seguir las inclinaciones artísticas de sus padres, también músicos, Skylar tiene la férrea convicción de una cantante y compositora de talla. “Roses” no es un disco fácil en su contenido, ya que sus letras están llenas de situaciones difíciles donde se hallan el arrepentimiento, la muerte, las adicciones, la moralidad y los abusos. Todo ello envuelto en sonidos atemporales en los que sí es sencillo reconocerse. Bruce Robison y Kelly Willis persisten en ser los mejores anfitriones de un hogar musical que han llamado The Bunker y que tiene como sede muy cerca de Lockhart, en Texas, convertida en la sede de The Next Waltz, una aventura vital alternativa en la que no hay ordenadores ni efectos digitales. Todo se graba en una cinta de 2 pulgadas. Y, entonces, surge la magia. Uno de los ejemplos más cercanos es esta versión de la pareja a “Tennessee Blues”, una maravillosa canción de Bobby Charles, un cantante y compositor con raíces en la Cajun music, nativo de Abbeville, en Louisiana, y pionero del “rock pantanoso” gracias a temas como este, que en 1972 empezó a darle a conocer gracias al apoyo de Rick Danko de The Band, que produjo su álbum de debut y le invitó a participar en The Last Waltz, el concierto de despedida del grupo en el Winterland Ballroom de San Francisco cuatro años después. Bobby Charles murió hace 10 años. Tish Hinojosa, Stephanie Urbina Jones y Patricia Vonne tienen una larga carrera por separado y muchos puntos de unión. Crecieron en la tejana San Antonio y el Tex Mex ha sido una de sus raíces compartidas. Ahora han decidido poner en común esa riqueza sonora bajo el nombre de The Texicana Mamas y con ese título lanzan su disco de debut como trío, que ellas mismas han coproducido. Su perfección para armonizar se ha trasladado también a la selección de canciones, a la mezcla de inglés y español, y a la riqueza del sonido procedente de ambos lados de la frontera. Las tres mujeres se turnan para cantar las distintas composiciones y se reúnen para versionar “Lo Siento Mi Vida”, la canción que Linda Ronstadt compuso junto a su padre Gilbert y a Kenny Edwards, su compañero en los Stone Poneys, para el álbum Hasten Down The Wind de 1976. La continuación del disco de debut de Molly Tuttle reivindica como ninguno la sensibilidad de una mujer que en 2019 publicaba When You're Ready. Ahora, ...But I'll Rather Be with You, muestra a Molly Tuttle es una colección de versiones que pone de manifiesto su eclecticismo y su habilidad para filtrar los más distintos sabores sonoros. Son diez canciones plenas de brillantez en las que el productor, Tony Berg, ha tenido un papel preponderante, siendo capaz de construir un edificio que tiene sus cimientos en Nashville, donde Molly ha centrado su participación, y al que se han añadido músicos de estudio de Los Angeles como Matt Chamberlain y Patrick Warren. Recorriendo canciones desde National a Harry Styles, pasando por los Stones, Grateful Dead o Rancid hasta llegar a "How Can I Tell You" de Cat Stevens, que en septiembre del 71 formó parte del álbum Teaser and the Firecat, marcando una línea emocional cuya protagonista es la soledad. Ashley Campbell ha recogido muy buena parte de las esencias de su padre, el legendario Glen Campbell para recuperar su más que reconocible sonido en “Something Lovely”, la canción que compuesta junto a Brandon Kress da nombre a su segundo trabajo, que verá la luz a primeros de octubre. Sigue mezclando una diversidad de influencias que combinan la vieja escuela del country, el bluegrass que a veces desarrolla como excelente banjista que es, el folk más enraizado y nuevas propuestas contemporáneas más atrevidas. Tener a su lado como padrino a Carl Jackson, es un apoyo personal y artístico impagable. Carl Jackson siempre ha sido un músico cercano convertido en un referente del bluegrass y el country más enraizado. Colaborador de Glen Campbell, Jim & Jesse o Emmylou Harris, entre muchos otros, también estuvo cerca de Alecia Nugent, que no es, ni mucho menos, una desconocida para los oyentes de TOMA UNO. Nativa de Hickory Grove, en el estado de Louisiana, la llegaron a apodar “Hillbilly Goddess”, tal y como se titula su tercer álbum de hace 11 años. Era debido, sin duda, a la serenidad que se les supone a los veteranos en un terreno tan complicado como el del bluegrass, donde siempre se ha desenvuelto a la perfección. Ella, por entonces, tenía 37 años y la International Bluegrass Music Association la nombró Vocalista Femenina de la temporada. Tras abandonar Nashville y después de todos esos años, Alecia reaparece con The Old Side of Town, un proyecto con 10 nuevas canciones, que sigue explorando sus raíces y que cuenta con la producción del veterano Keith Stegall, que ha estado al lado de Alan Jackson desde sus comienzos. Una de las canciones más vulnerables de este nuevo registro es, sin duda, "They Don’t Make‘ em Like My Daddy Anymore", dedicada a su padre, que murió de cáncer el primer día de julio de 2013. Han pasado casi cuatro años desde que Mo Pitney debutó con Behind This Guitar, un disco muy bien considerado que dejo el mejor sabor de boca para un debutante tan joven. Ahora con 27 años, este nativo de Cherry Valley, en Illinois, regresará a primeros de octubre con el esperado Ain’t Lookin ’Back, un disco que corrobora los buenos augurios de su debut. Colaboraciones como la de Jamey Johnson, Ricky Skaggs y Marty Stuart dan impulso a un trabajo que nos remonta a comienzos de los 1990, una etapa especialmente brillante del resurgir de la industria de Music Row. Incluso su voz recuerda mucho a aquellos tiempos, evocando a Keith Whitley, Daryle Singletary o Randy Travis. Es evidente que Mo Pitney tiene la capacidad de saltar en el tiempo y poner de acuerdo a diferentes generaciones. “Looks Like Rain” es una de las muestras más sólidas de este álbum. La nueva generación de artistas de Americana nos va despejando un panorama esperanzador con la llegada de Mo Pitney o de Daniel Donato, un músico de 25 años convertido en todo un maestro de la Telecaster que debuta con el álbum A Young Man’s Country. Nativo de Nashville y criado en sus calles y sus locales, especialmente el legendario Robert's Western World de Lower Broadway, le hemos escuchado tocar en el Ryman junto a The Wild Feathers o grabando Hard to Please con The Black Lillies. El veterano guitarrista Robben Ford ha producido un disco de presentación formal que rezuma esa Cosmic American Music que elevó a los altares Gram Parsons, aireada con las mejores esencias psicodélicas de Grateful Dead y el toque outlaw de Waylon Jennings. Daniel Donato compone con coherencia, pero es evidente que cuando versiona algunas de sus canciones favoritas pone un tinte de emoción inevitable. Así ha ocurrido con “Angel From Montgomery” de John Prine, una canción del disco de debut del recordado músico de Illinois, cuando faltaba casi un cuarto de siglo para que Donato naciera. Con una carrera envidiable hasta sus últimos días, no era sencillo impresionar a una leyenda como John Prine. Pero el artista ahora desaparecido escuchó a Arlo McKinley y decidió que debía pasar a formar parte de su sello discográfico, Oh Boy Records.El músico de Ohio ha debutado con Die Midwestern, con una mezcla perfecta de country y folk para hablar de buenos momentos, decisiones equivocadas y rupturas dolorosas con la sensación de que estas escuchando las historias que siempre cantaron los clásicos, aunque las formas son propias de coetáneos como Jason Isbell, Tyler Childers, Ian Noe o John Moreland. Así ocurre con “She’s Always Been Around”, un tema de honky tonk de carretera con la jukebox encendida que hubiera interpretado George Jones con sumo gusto. Se fue a grabar a Memphis con músicos como Ken Coomer de Uncle Tupelo y Wilco), Rick Steff (Cat Power) y Reba Russell que ha acompañado a maestros como Johnny Cash y Roy Orbison. Si el tejano Lefty Frizzell fue el referente de Merle Haggard, es evidente que el artista de Bakersfield es el espejo en el que se mira Zephaniah OHora, un músico de Brooklyn que ha adquirido su estética y su sonido. Su segundo álbum, Listening to the Music, mantiene esa prestancia, pero es evidente la madurez alcanzada desde que hace tres años debutó con This Highway. La producción del desaparecido Neal Casal ha tenido una importancia vital para que se produzca una empatía de toques agridulces que pudiera servirnos para estos tiempos duros como para los buenos que están por venir. El tema central, “Listen To The Music”, reconoce el poder de la música para cambiar las cosas y servir de escape de todo el dolor que nos rodea. En cierta forma es una especie de regreso a las maneras de los 70, cuando todo se hizo más reflexivo, incluyendo al inevitable Merle Haggard. Ya que hablábamos de honky tonks, en este primer fin de semana de la nueva temporada de TOMA UNO en Radio 3 queremos despedirnos recordando que somos conscientes de tener amigos en los mejores sitios. Hace exactamente un mes se cumplieron 30 años de la publicación de un clásico como “Friends In Low Places” de Garth Brooks. Cuando en 2015 aquel tema celebraba su cuarto de siglo, el artista de Oklahoma decidió volver a grabarlo juntos a amigos como Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean, Keith Urban y George Strait. La canción se incluyó exclusivamente en una caja de 10 CDs titulada Garth Brooks: The Ultimate Collection. Volvemos el próximo fin de semana a la sintonía de Radio 3, donde nos encantará seguir cumpliendo años juntos. Escuchar audio

Mo Pitney viene de Rockford, en Illinois, y consiguió debutar hace cuatro años con Behind This Guitar, un álbum en el que colaboraban Morgane Stapleton y Alison Krauss. Sus inclinaciones hacia la tradición y los sonidos acústicos se salen de las normas que suele dictar la industria de Music City, aunque milite en un sello poderoso como Curb Records que tiene previsto publicar un segundo álbum a mitad de agosto al que da nombre este "Ain't Lookin' Back", subrayando que tiene una habilidad especial para seleccionar canciones que pueden llevar la firma de expertos en la materia. American Jackpot/American Girls es la nueva propuesta de Reckless Kelly, tomando el revelo a Sunset Motel de hace cuatro años. La idea era escribir sobre Estados Unidos y su gente, pero con la intención de no hacer himnos ni pontificar sobre ello. Lo que iba a ser un álbum sencillo se convirtió en dos ofertas gemelas con un total de 20 canciones en el que se encuentran historias de personajes convincentes, arrepentimientos y remordimientos, amores y rupturas. Todo con un robusto sonido envolvente. “Lonesome On My Own”, que forma parte del segundo de los discos, siendo una de las canciones que se les acumularon a los hermanos Braun en aquellas sesiones, manifiesta formas más amables de la banda de Idaho afincada en Austin. La otra parte de la “familia Braun” se reúne en Micky & The Motorcars, con Micky y Gary Braun como pilares fundamentales de un grupo que se marchó a Nashville para ser producidos por Keith Gattis, aunque persisten en su rock enraizado tras 17 años en la carretera y tomando el pulso vital al resurgir de Austin como capital del mundo de la música en directo. El tema que ha dado nombre genérico al registro, compuesto entre Micky Braun y Bruce Robison, es el encargado de culminar el proyecto, celebrando los altibajos de cualquier aventura para lograr algo importante. Es el viaje de unos contadores de historias cotidianas y reales. Desde que supimos de la creación de The Panhandlers, comentamos que el supergrupo que forman William Clark Green, Josh Abbott, John Baumann y Cleto Cordero estaba concebido para grabar un álbum de versiones en homenaje a los Flatlanders, el legendario trío de los legendarios Joe Ely, Butch Hancock y Jimmie Dale Gilmore. Sin embargo, aquel proyecto derivó hacia un disco de temas originales tras reunirse en la tejana ciudad de Marfa, para componer. Todas las canciones tienen que ver con el panhandle de Texas, un lugar poco agradecido que suele pasarse por alto. Y todas ellas están compuestas por los cuatro miembros de los Panhandlers, excepto la que sirve de apertura, "West Texas in My Eye", escrita por el compositor y fotógrafo de la ciudad de Lubbock Charlie Stout como una evidente fantasía escapista y en la que los integrantes del cuarteto se reparten el protagonismo vocal. Esta semana ocupa la primera plaza de la Texas Regional Radio Report la Chad Cooke Band con “Four Minutes”, un tema perfecto de two step para llenar las pistas de cualquier honky tonk… en el momento oportuno. Hablamos de un cuarteto originario de Houston que se mueve en los terrenos de la Red Dirt Music desde Oklahoma City hasta San Antonio, con guiños a los buenos tiempos de Brooks & Dunn y procurando no olvidar las armonías vocales que caracterizaron a los Eagles. Debutaron hace cuatro años con su álbum Easy Way Home y en la primavera de 2018 se marcharon a Nashville para proseguir su andadura que ha dado como resultado un segundo trabajo, Risk It All, del que forma parte es “Four Minutes”. Aquellos que siguen insistiendo en que el country clásico ha desaparecido con las nuevas generaciones, debería echar una escucha a Elijah Ocean. Para recuperar la tradición y las maneras de los buenos y viejos tiempos puede bastar recluirse en un estudio casero de Los Angeles, a donde llegó desde su Maine natal, y sacar a la luz las esencias del honky tonk para su quinto álbum en solitario, Blue Jeans & Barstools, que parece reclamar la vuelta de los mejores sonidos de la californiana Bakersfield y el espíritu de los legendarios forajidos de la escena campera. "Cleaned Up in Vegas", uno de los cortes más sobresalientes de un álbum bien equilibrado y altamente recomendable, muestra la desgarradora angustia del drogadicto. A primeros de abril, Charley Crockett nos sorprendió con 30 temas de baja calidad sonora que tituló Field Recordings Vol. 1 y ofreció para descarga digital. La grabación fue realizada junto a Kyle Madrigal en la granja que este posee en Mendocino County, al norte de California. Estaba formada por canciones propias y versiones de otras muy enraizadas en la tradición. Pero el artista sigue fiel a su inquieta personalidad y ya podemos escuchar la canción que dará nombre a su nuevo álbum de estudio, Welcome To Hard Times, previsto para el 31 de julio y donde mantiene el equilibrio entre country clásico, rhythm and blues y ciertas pinceladas de spaghetti western. Como viene haciendo en los últimos tiempos, este tejano nativo de San Benito está filmando y dirigiendo una serie de videos que el mismo protagoniza a lo largo de paisajes desérticos. Es la tierra que describe su sonido… y viceversa. Cody Jinks también ha publicado nueva música en estas fechas, la primera novedad desde que el pasado año nos regalara dos álbumes como The Wanting y After The Fire. La resistencia y la esperanza en días mejores suele ser el mensaje más habitual en tiempos de cuarentena, aunque el tejano haya tomado un camino diferente con "Watch the World Die", un tema melancólico que va adquiriendo dureza antes de que todo desaparezca. La solución es mantener el dedo corazón bien erguido y hacer el amor toda la noche. El toque esperanzador llega en versos como "Por la mañana, si estamos solo nosotros dos, sabremos que lo hemos hecho bien". Otro nombre que añadir a la lista de artistas con personalidad suficiente para conquistarnos es Kylie Frey, que creció compitiendo en el circuito del rodeo y componiendo desde muy corta edad. Sus padres apoyaron sus inclinaciones musicales y tras actuar en distintos locales de Texas y su natal Louisiana (ella nació hace 25 años en Opelousas, la tercera ciudad más antigua de aquel estado), debutó a finales de 2014 con su álbum Cinderella Dreams, del que destacó un tema propio editado en single, “The Chase”, logrando una importante repercusión en las emisoras de country tejanas. Hace tres años nos hicimos eco de su dúo con Randy Rogers en “Too Bad”, una balada impecable para un EP que produjo Paul Worley, seguido hace unos meses por “One Night in Tulsa” y ahora llega “Spur Of The Moment”, una de las canciones favoritas en las emisoras tejanas… y en TOMA UNO. Caitlin Cannon es puro desparpajo y optimismo. Nativa de Alabama, con un padre que abandonó a la familia, una madre peluquera esforzada por sacar adelante su hogar y un hermano en prisión, celebra con descaro y orgullo su situación y la de quienes sobreviven a los malos momentos con esfuerzo. Y lo hace en "Going For Bronze", el tema de apertura de su última novedad, un álbum con el explícito título de TrashCannon. Pero entre bravuconadas y cierto desapego emocional, Caitlin confiesa su alcoholismo y alguna que otra adicción para ahogar la realidad de una mala relación, cobijada en el rockabilly, algunos acentos punk y el llamado countrypolitan. Es la mejor manera de reflejar su soledad, frustración y el desafío ante situaciones injustas. Regreso a las raíces y a las botas. Vuelta a los sonidos originales y a las tradiciones que han construido un género tan particular como el country. Ese es el camino recorrido por Tessy Lou Williams, sobre cuyo álbum de debut, de título homónimo, llamábamos la atención hace varias semanas. Criada en Willow Creek, una localidad de alrededor de 210 habitantes en el estado de Montana, pasó por la tejana Austin y ha terminado en Nashville, de donde partieron en origen sus padres, también músicos. En la Music City ha contado con el apoyo de artistas como Ashley Campbell, Carl Jackson, Larry Cordle o Jon Randall. “Your Forever Will Never Say Goodbye” es una de las grandes canciones de este álbum, pero no la única. Ha estado casi una década al frente de Tessy Lou & the Shotgun Stars, pero ya era el momento de lanzarse en solitario a las aguas del country clásico, con evidentes influencias de Lee Ann Womack y Patty Loveless. En su disco de título homónimo Tessy Lou Williams despliega tonalidades de honky tonk, baladas enternecedoras y un respeto casi secular por la tradición, como se hace evidente en "Someone Lonely", la canción de su padre, una robusta balada recubierta por el Steel guitar de Mike Johnson. Su debut supone uno de los más apasionantes activos del presente de una country music que está recuperando su razón de ser desde la independencia de sus nuevas propuestas, al otro lado de las grabaciones sobre-producidas que atiborran las emisoras de radio fórmula del género. Convertir una súplica en una promesa es el milagro que Whitney Rose consigue en “Don’t Give Up On Me”, la canción que hoy cierra nuestro tiempo de radio y nos emplaza para la próxima semana. La artista canadiense, afincada y afianzada en Texas, nos ha hechizado a todos con un trabajo tan solvente como We Still Go to Rodeos, un último trabajo con un arsenal emocional evidente Escuchar audio

On Episode 88, I'm joined by Reckless Kelly lead vocalist and chief lyricist Willy Braun. This year, the pioneering Americana Country outfit is doing a first with the release of American Jackpot / American Girls, two 10-song full-length albums released the same day. Much as the titles allude, the 20 songs of American Jackpot and American Girls give Braun and company ample of space to explore a multitude of American themes without ever settling in on a "Rah Rah Rah" tired trope. Rather, songs seek out the true essence of the American Spirit with songs about Jackie Robinson, Tom Petty, grandfathers, Grand Canyon mule rules, Western exploration, rural living, a necessary reminder that we're a country of immigrants, the search for a sense of belonging, and that longing for home. Over the course of this hour, Braun and I talk at length about the recording of their latest album (due out Friday, May 22), songwriting, the affects of the Coronavirus on touring bands (and festival curators), playing drums, and working with the likes of fellow Idaho native Jeff Crosby, Jamie Lin Wilson, Jack Ingram, and Bruce Robison (and various multiple collaborators during The Next Waltz sessions).

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.

I caught up with singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalists Chris Masterson and Eleanor Whitmore at the 2020 Folk Alliance International Conference in New Orleans. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we were booted out of the Media Room I had reserved so that NPR’s Anne Powers could do an impromptu interview with Ani DiFranco. No worries, The Mastersons went with the flow and we conducted our conversation in my hotel room while they were perched on my bedside with my lavalier mic attached to my water bottle handle. They could not have been more gracious and accommodating. When they're not touring the world as valued longtime members of Steve Earle's band the Dukes, the musical and marital twosome make inspired albums of their own emotionally vivid, deeply humanistic songs. Experience is something they have aplenty. Prior to coming together as a musical duo (they married in 2009), Masterson and Whitmore were both seasoned veterans of the Americana and Texas music scenes. Masterson spent his teens playing the blues in Houston clubs before landing hired-gun gigs with acts as varied as Jack Ingram and Son Volt, while the Denton-born Whitmore grew up performing in a family band with her folk- singer dad, Alex, and sister Bonnie (now a solo singer-songwriter) before playing fiddle and violin on dozens of album sessions for the likes of Bruce Robison, Slaid Cleaves, and Shooter Jennings. By their own admission, they are here to “serve the songs.” The Mastersons, who now call Los Angeles home after stints in Austin, Brooklyn and Terlingua, Texas; recorded their soon to be released “No Time for Love Songs” at L.A.'s legendary Sunset Sound Recorders with Shooter Jennings; it was engineered and mixed by five-time Grammy Award-winning engineer, Ryan Freeland. Shooter had recruited The Mastersons to play on his albums Family Man (2012) and The Other Life (2013), and they’d recently reunited to work on the now Grammy award winning Tanya Tucker's comeback album While I'm Livin', which Jennings co-produced with Brandi Carlile. As our country becomes more divided," Chris observes, "it makes it harder to connect with loved ones and friends that disagree. Fundamentally we all want the same things, but we're pitted against each other by extreme rhetoric on both sides. If we can lead with kindness and empathy, there is a way out." "Only by cataloging and acknowledging loss and grief can we move forward with gratitude for what we have." I agree 100%. Enjoy this conversation with Chris Masterson and Eleanor Whitmore, The Mastersons!

THE TROUBADOUR PODCAST - The Premier Red Dirt, Texas Country and Independent Music Podcast

Through this podcast, Carly and I have got to interview some of the biggest names in Texas Country, Americana and Red Dirt Music.  Every now and then though, we get to interview people who I truly consider heroes of mine.  This episode, featuring one of the best writers to ever come out of Texas, Bruce Robison, definitely checks all the boxes for me.  For songwriter geeks like me, you’re undoubtedly already aware of Bruce’s work.  However, if you’re not one of those people who always tries to figure out who wrote what song, Bruce’s name may not immediately ring a bell.  Nevertheless, you know some of his songs; I guarantee it.  Here’s just a few Bruce Robison songs made famous by other artists: “Angry All the Time” – Tim McGraw - #1 – 2001 “Travelin’ Soldier” – Dixie Chicks - #1 – 2002 “Wrapped” – George Strait - #2 – 2007 It’s hard to know where to start and where to stop with a life and career like Bruce Robison’s.  Bruce is married to singer-songwriter, Kelly Willis and is the brother of country artist Charlie Robison.  In this interview we touch a little on both of those members of Bruce’s immediate family. I really enjoy the portion of the interview when we get to talk about Bruce’s project called The Next Waltz along with his recent production of the West-Texas super group, the Panhandlers.  Please check them out! I’ll let the episode and Bruce’s commentary speak for itself but this episode is a gem. To check out Bruce’s website and to find our where he’ll be playing next click HERE.

撰文/闵嘉德(Josh Mitteldorf) 翻译/汪婕舒人类的衰老是缓慢的进程,每过一年,我们都向死亡的终点迈出一小步。于是,当我们环视四周,便认为其他动植物也同我们一样。但实际上,自然界有着形形色色的衰老,其过程从短短几小时(比如微生物)到一些动物的几百年和树木的数千年不等。一些动物在生命的尽头会突然衰老,还有一些根本不会衰老,少数甚至可以逆转衰老。而植物的衰老模式和寿命长短更加多样。许多衰老理论都是基于“人类的衰老经验在大自然中一定是普遍存在或至少是典型的”这一想法。然而,一个好的理论应该考虑到衰老模式的多样性,也应考虑到衰老是从远古进化而来这一事实。一些对现代动物(包括人类)的衰老起到调控作用的基因,其根源都能追溯到10亿年前的微生物。没有衰老的生命?有一种变豆菜(Sanicula)是生长在欧洲牧场里的灌木。在过去65年中,人们一直在不间断地研究着瑞典的一片变豆菜。变豆菜的预期寿命与人类差不多,但它却从不衰老。对人类来说,随着年龄的增长而逐渐变老,死亡的几率便会增长。而对变豆菜而言,每一年,75株变豆菜中平均就有一株会死去,可这却与年龄无关,一株75岁的变豆菜的死亡率并不比一株10岁的更高。我们人类在出生时的预期寿命大约是70年(各国差异很大),到了60岁预期寿命可能剩下18年,80岁的老人可能预期还能活7年。而对变豆菜来说,一株幼苗的预期寿命是75年,到了60岁,它的预期寿命依然还剩75年。实际上,有少数变豆菜已经200岁了,但它们的预期寿命依然还剩75年。按照这个概率,100万株变豆菜中约有一株能活到1000年,如果我们的解释正确的话,这株1000岁的变豆菜与死亡的距离并不比一株幼苗更近。龙虾是否会衰老至今还是一个谜。由于被过度捕捞,龙虾很少能长到1千克以上。但人们依然时常捕捞到超过4千克的龙虾,历史纪录中最大的龙虾更是足有20千克。大龙虾通常会被放回大海,这并非只是因为它们不适合摆上餐桌。龙虾长得越大,繁殖力就越强,它们留下后代的几率就越大。一只大龙虾繁殖出的后代能占据一大片海域。我们并没有最老龙虾的记录,因为它们没有年轮或类似结构供我们检验年龄。有人认为20千克的龙虾可能超过100岁,但并不确定。蛤类也能无限地长大,其繁殖力同样会变得越来越强。幸运的是,蛤类有生长环,可以让我们数出它的年龄。已知最老的蛤是一只北极圆蛤(Arctica islandica),足有507岁,很可能死于打捞后撬开壳数生长纹的过程。它被称为“明”,因为在它出生时中国正处于明朝。蛤类有一些天敌,比如说海星会抓住它们的壳,用蛮力将它们撕开。但是,一旦一只蛤长得比海星的腕还长,它就有可能无限地生长下去。重达350千克的巨蛤依然保持着它那些迷你亲戚们的生活方式,每天吸入超过它们自身重量3万倍的海水,滤食浮游生物和海藻,这些生物进入巨蛤肚子里还能继续繁殖。正如大龙虾一样,巨蛤也能为整个种群提供后代。美国加利福尼亚州白山上的刺果松平均寿命超过1000岁,当然前提是它度过脆弱的幼年期。 图/Dcrjsr/世界上的长寿之王非树莫属。一株19世纪死于风暴的龙血树(Dracaena draco)可能已经活了6000年;美国加利福尼亚州白山上的刺果松(Pinus longaeva)中最古老的大约已有5000岁,平均寿命超过千年。这是由于树在生长上投入巨大精力,总是试着让自己的叶片逃离其他树木的阴影,从而抢到最好的阳光。森林中最古老的树总是能傲视群雄,获得第一缕阳光的能量。那么,树木到底会不会衰老呢?有些会,有些不会。当然了,如果一棵树成长为树林中最高的一棵,也会有烦恼——它将是第一个被闪电击中的目标。并且,当树林扎根的土壤被侵蚀,它也是最头重脚轻、最容易被风吹倒的那一个。此外,有些树木似乎也拥有一个“特征年龄”,一旦过了这个年纪,死亡率会逐年增加。有证据表明,年老的树木更容易受到真菌和疾病的侵害。不过,在大多数时候,老树通常是因为尺寸过大而受到机械伤害,最终垮塌致死的。也就是说,正是持续生长的能力终致其消逝。突然死亡有一种独特的性状被称为“终生一胎”(semelparous),是指那些在一生中只会繁殖一次的动植物。繁殖后,它们通常会迅速死亡,包括蜉蝣、章鱼、大麻哈鱼,还有成千上万种一年生开花植物。终生一胎生物的死因是什么?科学家曾认为,这是由于繁殖过程中耗尽了营养。可事实上,这种想法并无多少依据,爆发的繁殖与突然的死亡似乎是两个不同且独立的适应事件。如果你在花园里种着一年生植物,就能亲眼见证这一点:通常,植物先开花,后结出种子,随后死去。但是,如果你掐掉花朵,它就又会长出一朵新的来。如果每次在花变成种子之前都把花剪掉,这株植物就能一直活下去,绽放整个夏天。很显然,是种子发出了信号,告诉植物死亡的时刻到了。大鳞大麻哈鱼(Onocorhynchus tschawytscha,俗称奇努克鲑)通常在距离大海几百千米的河流上游里孵化。出生后的一两年,它们会生活在河水的保护中,这里生活安逸,鲜有大型捕食者。当长到足以互相竞争的大小时,它们就会向下游迁徙,前往茫茫大海中谋生。它们会在大海里生活2~7年的时间。其间,它们越长越大,但并不会随着年龄的增长而变得衰弱。当它们准备好繁殖下一代,就会找到来时的路——绝非随便挑一条河口,而是回到当初孵化的那个河塘。它们接下来的旅途就是奋力向前冲,而终点就是繁殖和死亡。在繁殖地成片死亡的大鳞大麻哈鱼当成年大麻哈鱼到达产卵地后便不再进食,新陈代谢迅速瓦解。肾上腺泵出糖皮质激素,导致衰老加速。糖皮质激素也引发免疫系统的崩溃,致其全身覆满真菌感染。肾脏萎缩,同时邻近的细胞(肾间质细胞)变得膨大。循环系统也遭到了感染,动脉随之出现损伤,这些损伤看起来与导致老年人心脏病的损伤十分相似。逆流而上当然是费力的,但是,给它们身体带来致命伤害的,并非肉体上的损耗,而是一系列严重的生化反应。这些反应发生的时机是由基因定好的,在产卵完成后即刻发生。这种症状不分雌雄,虽然绝大部分新陈代谢的压力都落在雌鱼身上,在生命的最后阶段,卵可能占据了它们身体重量的1/3。章鱼的故事也值得一提。它们的寿命很短,根据种类的不同,从几个月到几年不等,但都会在一次繁殖之后死去。雌章鱼会守护和照料它产下的卵,要是环境对孵化不利,就会吃掉它们。这样,雌章鱼就获得了重头再来一次的机会。如果它认为时机成熟适合孵化,不仅不会吃自己的卵,甚至会完全停止进食。雌章鱼为了保护自己的卵不受捕食者侵害,会一动不动、专心守护长达几个月的时间。但是,一旦卵孵化,它就会在几天内死去。它的死因并非饥饿。我们知道这一点,是因为它们有两个内分泌腺,称为“视腺”,分泌的物质控制着章鱼的交配行为、亲子照料和死亡。视腺可以通过手术去除,去除之后的雌章鱼就能活得更久。如果只去除一个视腺,雌章鱼会停止进食,但可以多活6个星期。如果两个视腺都去掉,雌章鱼就不会完全失去进食能力,在卵孵化之后,还可以恢复进食。接着,它们还可以重振旗鼓,恢复之前的力量和体格,并继续存活40个星期甚至更久。深海章鱼长达四年的妊娠,最后为孵化后的卵鞘。拍摄时间分别为2007年5月、2009年、2011年9月、2011年10月。 图/MBARI2007年,美国蒙特雷湾水族馆研究所的布鲁斯·罗比逊(Bruce Robison)发现,一只雌性深海章鱼(Graneledone boreopacifica)正在加州海岸附近冰冷的深海中照料160枚卵。他每隔一段时间就回到同一个位置的同一块石头去观察它。从2007年到2011年,它不吃不喝,一动不动,只是轻微地扇动着卵上方的海水,保证卵获得新鲜的营养物质。过了4年半,卵终于孵化了,但他只看到空空如也的卵壳,再也没有见到这只雌章鱼,它应该是死去了。这是有史以来观察到的最长的妊娠。

Making America Home Again. A look at the expanding Trump Economy and increasing optimism towards pursuing the American Dream. President Trump goes on offense against Sen. Chuck Schumer's "Diversity Visa Lottery" in the aftermath of ISIS truck terror in New York City. A hypocritical Schumer, playing last-ditch defense, decries Trump's "politicizing" of immigration issues. Meanwhile, we make note of the 100th Anniversary of the Russian Revolution and explore "Communism's Bloody Century." We ponder why so many American millenials seem favorably disposed towards Joseph Stalin and Vladimir Lenin. Are they unaware that communism has claimed at least 65 million lives since 1917? What systemic failures in America's education system have allowed for such historical illiteracy? Could some Friedrich Hayek help? Meanwhile, we survey the upcoming election for Governor in Virginia, where the stakes are high for nervous Democrats. If they lose, could they be facing their own civil war? Will Democrats be able to recover from their infamous 'racist black pickup' backfire? With Listener Calls & Music via the Smithereens, Kelly Willis and Bruce Robison.
