Patrick is joined by award winning singer-songwriter Bob Schneider to discuss UFOs, Aliens, Music and Ai. "Before turning to a solo career, Bob Schneider spent years performing in various bands, often as the loud and energetic front-man. He dropped out of the University of Texas at El Paso, where he studied art while also performing in his first major band, a local funk-rock outfit called Joe Rockhead. The band independently released three albums before disbanding. Schneider subsequently performed with the Ugly Americans, sometimes as an opening act for the Dave Matthews Band, and signed with the revived Capricorn Records. In 1997, Schneider co-founded The Scabs, a funk ensemble that regularly played local Austin venues, and was described as "inspired by The Rugburns (right down to the suits and ties) [with] bawdy show tunes and puerile blues". Schneider briefly dated actress Sandra Bullock between the years 1999 and 2001. While the relationship did not last, his songs have continued to appear in films from throughout the actress's career." - WIKIPEDIA
Ian Moore may have been born in Berkeley, California, but the sound from his eponymously named debut studio album reflects Austin, Texas, the place he called home. Moore began playing violin at a young age, but switched to guitar as a teen under the influence of artists like Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Moore's influence runs well beyond the blues genre, however, from Curtis Mayfield to Stevie Wonder, and from Sly & the Family Stone to the Rolling Stones. Moore's debut album is based in the blues and roots rock. Comparisons to Stevie Ray Vaughan, another Austin guitarist, come naturally with Moore's songwriting lyrics and his obvious guitar skills. The album's success was a testament to Moore's ability to bridge the gap between traditional blues roots and contemporary rock sounds.While Ian Moore got his start in blues rock, he has been hard to pigeonhole into a single genre. The record company wanted Moore to be a continuation of Stevie Ray Vaughan's legacy, but Moore had other ideas. After his third album submission reflected a more power pop and roots rock sensibility, Capricorn Records dropped him. Moore would continue a career as a touring musician and singer-songwriter, giving up greater fame for greater freedom as an artist to pursue his own path. Rob brings us this lesser known blues album for this week's podcastNothingThe bluesy southern rock opening track to the album is a call back to a far-away love, perhaps reflecting life on the road. “Miles and miles from nowhere but it's always someplace new. My time is spent with strangers but my mind is spent with you.”RevelationThis funky song reminds us of the Black Crowes. Even the background singers are eerily similar, but beautiful. It chronicles the discovery that the singer's girl is lying to him, and the revelation of her true character. Unlike other lovers, the singer is going to break free of her trap.HarlemInspired by the energy of Harlem, Moore's lyrics explores the ways we are separated from each other by neighborhoods and experiences, even through physical barriers when you're “riding through Harlem in my bulletproof car.”How Does It FeelThis song tells a story about a girl who continues to break up with a guy only to come back over and over. It was one of the songs that received airplay at the time the album had been released, along with “Nothing.” It starts slowly and builds to the chorus. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main Theme from the motion picture “Wayne's World 2”“Party on, Wayne!” “Party on, Garth!” This second outing from Mike Myers and Dana Carvey dropped in December 1993. STAFF PICKS:Good by Better Than Ezra Wayne kicks off the staff picks with a hit from the indie band Better Than Ezra. The band came out of Baton Rouge where they attended LSU. The song is about the positive things that come from the end of a relationship. While there is always drama and hurt feelings, there are also good things on which to reflect when the dust settles.She Hates Me by Puddle of MuddLynch was able to find a clean version of this song for the podcast. Wes Scantlin wrote this song along with Jimmy Allen, the original guitarist. By the time the demo tape was heard and a decision was made to sign the band, the original group had broken up. Scantlin was set up with new bandmates when signed to Flawless Records, and people didn't hate the song or the band.Purple Haze by The Cure Bruce brings us a cover of a famous piece by Jimi Hendrix. A tribute album called “Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix” was released in 1993, and The Cure provided this take on Purple Haze. It went to number 2 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.Like the Weather by 10,000 Maniacs Rob closes out the staff picks with an acoustic rendition of this song recorded for “MTV Unplugged.” The song originally came out in 1987 on their third album. Natalie Merchant would leave the group for a solo career shortly after this live performance. NOVELTY TRACK:(I Know I Got) Skillz by Shaquille O'Neal featuring Def JefCelebrity rap songs were in vogue at the time, but we think Shaq's skills were better exhibited on the basketball court.

Preston, the bass player in my garage band THE NERVE recently suggested that this song would be a good one for the band to try. I remembered it fondly and I felt good singing it, and we started to work it into our repertoire. Jimmy Hall, the original lead singer on the track said that the first time Ricky Hirsch, the guitarist for Wet Willie, played him the signature riff, “it felt like a sunny breeze on a beach.” I agree, and apparently a lot of other people thought so, too, because it made a comeback during the pandemic: “keep on smiling through the rain, laughing at the pain, rollin' with the changes, 'til the sun comes out again.” Right? We all needed to remind ourselves that there would be a light at the end of that dark tunnel. There is a great YouTube clip from three years ago with Jimmy singing it with the band Blackberry Smoke, on the 50th anniversary of Capricorn Studios, and the man sounds better than ever. In 1974, when it debuted, it was produced for Macon, GA's Capricorn Records (the same folks that brought us The Allman Brothers), by the legendary Tom Dowd, who came up with the “stop time” bridge - that lifts the song into the final heavenly chorus. It made it to #10 on the national charts, and earned its wings as a perfect feel good Sunny Song.
Founded in 1959 by Inez Hill and Louise Hudson, otherwise known as Mama Hill and Mama Louise, H&H Restaurant in Macon, GA is a Southern institution. In the 70s, Macon was home to the newly minted Capricorn Records, and H&H fed many of the musicians coming through the town, though it is most famous for its founders' unique friendship with the Allman Brothers Band, where the story goes if the band was high they had to come in through the kitchen door. That friendship took Mama Louise on quite a ride that included a seat on the Allman Brothers tour bus in 1972 and lifelong friendships with Gregg and the rest of the band. After Mama Hill died, H&H was closed for a little while, but in 2014, the Moonhanger Group reopened the historic restaurant in cooperation with Mama Louise, and soon after Tangie Myers and Kayla Price joined the restaurant to keep its legacy alive with crispy fried chicken, fluffy biscuits, and all the collards they could cook. H&H was named one of the top five meat-and-three joints by the Wall Street Journal in 2016, and the small place is not only filled with people six days a week, but it's also decorated with photos and concert posters of some of the musicians the restaurant has served through the years.
He's Bob Schneider, musician and songwriter extraordinaire. Learn how Bob writes songs, hones his craft and produces music of significance. He is an Austin, Texas–based musician and former lead singer of the rock band Ugly Americans. He has released around a dozen albums, mostly on his own Shockorama label. Lonelyland (2001) was licensed through Universal Records,while in 2005 distribution deal with Vanguard Records saw his albums made widely available.In 2009 he signed to Kirtland Records and put out Lovely Creatures, A Perfect Day, and Burden of Proof. His record The King Kong Suite was released on Shockorama Records in 2015.The son of an opera singer, he moved with his parents to Germany when he was two, while his father received instruction from noted vocal teachers. It led to a marginal existence as “my parents had this big plan, but my dad just didn't have the voice". He learned guitar and piano at an early age, and performed at his parents' parties. He studied art in college, while performing in his first band, a funk-rock outfit called Joe Rockhead. The band independently released three albums before disbanding. Schneider subsequently performed with Ugly Americans who were an opening act for the Dave Matthews Band and signed with the revived Capricorn Records.[8] In 1997, Schneider co-founded The Scabs, a funk ensemble that regularly played in around Austin and described as " inspired by The Rugburns (right down to the suits and ties) [with] bawdy show tunes and puerile blues in the beginning, but eventually the powerhouse funk took over when the Grooveline Horns were added".Career In 1999, Schneider formed a solo act, initially under the name Lonelyland, which became the title of his record released through Universal Records. His style has been described as "acoustic based songs with electronic beats and noises in the background and other types of cross genre music. His live shows are known for improvisation [and] audience involvement".[He went on to record the major-label solo albums Lonelyland (2001) and I'm Good Now (2004), which garnered him significantly more national attention and some critical acclaim. "Big Blue Sea" from the Lonelyland album received significant radio play, as did "Come With Me Tonight" from I'm Good Now. "Metal & Steel" from Lonelyland is, to date, Schneider's most played song.The contracts that he signed with Universal in 2001 and Vanguard in 2004 allowed him to release albums as "side projects" on his own Shockorama Records.Among the albums that have been self-released are Galaxy Kings and I've Seen The End of the World and It Looks Like This. All of these side projects were re-released by Vanguard in conjunction with the release of his 2006 album The Californian. Previously, these albums had limited availability as approximately 10,000 copies were produced. After releasing The Californian, Schneider also put out Greatest Hits Live, recorded in Austin on July 17, 2006, on Shockorama Records. He has a long-standing Monday night residency at the Saxon Pub and regularly plays at Antone's, both venues in Austin. His live-band includes Harmoni Kelley (bass), Jeff Plankenhorn (guitars), Conrad Choucroun (drums), Danny Levin (cello) and Oliver Steck (accordion) In 2009, Schneider signed with Kirtland Records and released Lovely Creatures in September 2009. It featured the single "40 Dogs (Like Romeo and Juliet)", which peaked at #14 on the AAA Radio Chart. The album also featured Patty Griffin on the track "Changing Your Mind".He released a second album on the label entitled "A Perfect Day" on April 19, 2011, featuring the single "Let The Light In." "Burden of Proof" was released on June 11, 2013.His next musical project, King Kong, was released in 2015 under the Shockorama label and was the result of a crowdsourcing campaign through PledgeMusic. King Kong saw its release over the course of 2015 in the form of three EPs (volumes collectively known as The King Kong Suite) as well as a full-length album made available to his online backers.In 2017, Schneider began making his massive backlog of recorded demos available to his fans through Patreon. His next album Blood and Bones was released on June 8, 2018.On an episode of The Lone Star Plate podcast, Schneider said he turned down a part in the 2020 Netflix hit The Lost Husband because he didn't want to become an on-screen celebrity.

This week we leave you pondering: these genres that can't possibly be real; right? Humans love to organize and put things in categories. Music is no different. When someone asks about a band or song they ask you what it sounds like. You can either give them a generic term (rock, punk, metal), refer to another band or artist, or provide them with an oddly specific categorization like psychedelic operatic speed ska… Or something like that!What's this InObscuria thing? We're a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This episode deals more with the Lost… Genres and sub-genres that are truly unique and oddly specific. We hope we turn you on to something new!Songs this week include:Dirty Rig – “Just A Star” from Rock Did It (2006)Raging Slab – “The Shield” from Assmaster (1987)Valient Thorr – “Stormstris” from Legend Of The World (2006)Dash Rip Rock – “Jenny Says” from Ace Of Clubs (1989)2 Skinnee J's - “Mind Trick” from ¡$Uper!

El pasado 9 de Octubre se cumplía el 80º aniversario del nacimiento de John Lennon y por ello dedicamos nuestro programa a escuchar varias de sus composiciones en las voces de músicos incluidos en el gran paraguas de la Americana. El próximo martes será obligado recordar que 40 años atrás un loco asesino que no merece ni tan siquiera que se recuerde su nombre nos privó de su presencia a las puertas del edificio Dakota de Nueva York. Por eso, hoy nos adelantamos a esa fecha para recordar cómo los más significativos músicos de Americana han mirado en alguna ocasión las canciones que John Lennon creó para formar parte de la discografía de los Beatles. El cuarteto de Liverpool grabó “One After 909” en su concierto de la terraza y esa versión en directo fue la que se incluyó en el álbum original. Era un tema de Lennon que compuso con 17 años y hacía referencia a un número, el 9, que parecía perseguirle. Nació el 9 de octubre y por entonces vivía en el 9 de Newcastle Road. Por entonces se escuchaban varias canciones que hablaban de trenes de carga como "Rock Island Line" o “Midnight Special” y John y PaulMcCartney decidieron ponerla un ritmo similar. El cuarteto llegó a grabar la canción en la primavera de 1963, durante las sesiones de "From Me to You" y "Thank You Girl”, que conformaron su tercer single, pero el resultado no les convenció y la desestimaron. Willie Nelson quiso homenajear al grupo con su propia versión. Los más veteranos artistas de country también han tenido un momento en su carrera para rememorar alguna canción de los Beatles. Kris Kristofferson también echó una mirada a los Fab 4 para versionar una canción claramente compuesta por John Lennon como fue “Paperback Writer” haciendo referencia a su faceta de escritor. Sería grabada por los Beatles cuando trabajaban en 1966 en Revolver, y aunque se editó en single en su momento, quedó fuera de sus álbumes oficiales. Se acaban de cumplir 55 años de la salida al mercado de Rubber Soul, uno de los discos más determinantes de la discografía de los Beatles y en el que las canciones de John Lennon tuvieron una significación relevante. Aquel trabajo lo cerraba “Run For Your Life”, que fue, por el contrario, la primera canción que grabaron para el disco. Para componer aquel tema sobre los celos con tonalidades de country, Lennon se basó en Elvis y su "Baby Let's Play House", utilizando incluso una frase completa de aquella canción de El Rey. John Cowan, una de las voces más potentes de la Americana, firmó en 2014 por el sello Compass para afrontar un proyecto que tituló Sixty, producido por su buen amigo y compañero de los Doobie Brothers, John McFee, y en el que pudimos encontrar una lista interminable de selectos invitados, desde Leon Russell, Alison Krauss y Rodney Crowell, hasta Bernie Leadon, Sam Bush o Chris Hillman, pasando por Huey Lewis, Bonnie Bramlett, Ray Benson y varios más. Su versión de “Run For Your Life” se convirtió en uno de los cortes de bonificación de la edición de lujo de Sixty, donde el artista de Ohio exhibió su poderío vocal. En Rubber Soul John Lennon compuso cuatro temas de forma independiente y otros tantos McCartney. También fueron cuatro en los que la pareja colaboró conjuntamente y dos los firmó George Harrison. “Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)” pasó a ser la primera canción de rock en la que aparecía un sitar y, como todo aquel álbum Rubber Soul al que pertenecía, marcó en música y letra un paso de gigante en la evolución de los Beatles. De hecho, John Lennon la creó como una carta a su mujer, Cynthia, admitiendo una aventura. Tim O’Brien aprovechó las tonalidades folkies para realizar una versión imponente que sirvió de cierre a su disco de 2011 Two Journeys. En realidad, escarbó en los antecedentes irlandeses del cuarteto de Liverpool, un importante puerto de entrada para tantos exiliados que buscaban trabajo. Una de las bandas míticas del bluegrass es Hot Rize, fundada en 1978 por Tim O'Brien, Pete Wernick, Charles Sawtelle y Mike Scap, aunque este último fue reemplazado muy pronto por Nick Forster. Además, tenían un divertido “alter ego” llamado Red Knuckles & The Trailblazers. En su álbum Shades In The Past incluyeron su particular versión de “Nowhere Man”, que también pertenece a Rubber Soul, el sexto álbum de los Beatles y que parece definir en un principio el carácter del propio John Lennon. Tras admitir posteriormente que consumía drogas, el personaje de esta canción fue analizado desde todos los puntos de vista posibles por los expertos. Como conclusión, aquél “hombre de ninguna parte” podía ser desde un “camello” al capitán del Submarino Amarillo. Rhett Miller, el nombre artístico de Stewart Ransom Miller II, siempre ha estado asociado a la banda Old 97’s como su líder y cantante solista. The Dreamer es el quinto álbum de estudio que graba al margen de su banda y un disco en el que se marca un cambio en sus exposiciones personales. Resultaba curioso que cuando Rhett Miller grababa en solitario tenía ciertas inclinaciones hacia el pop con cierto acento británico, mientras que con Old 97’s se manifestaba mucho más inclinado a las raíces. En 2005 se realizó un álbum dedicado al álbum Rubber Soul con motivo de su cumpleaños número 40, This Bird Has Flown – A 40th Anniversary Tribute to the Beatles' Rubber Soul, y en él participó el músico tejano con esta versión de “Girl”. El siglo XXI comenzó con una película llamada I Am Sam que protagonizaron Sean Penn y Michelle Pfeiffer. Los productores pretendieron que su banda sonora estuviera compuesta de grabaciones originales de los Beatles, pero ante su imposibilidad, optaron por reunir toda una serie de versiones de la banda de Liverpool realizadas por nombres tan sonoros como Rufus Wainwright, los Wallflowers, Sheryl Crow, Nick Cave, Ben Harper o los Black Crowes, entre otros. Poco antes de su disolución en 2002, la banda de los hermanos Robinson grabó “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds”, una de las composiciones de Lennon siempre controvertida que formó parte en 1967 de Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, el disco que lo cambió todo. El tema de apertura del último álbum grabado por los Beatles, Abbey Road, aunque se publicara en 1969, antes que Let It Be, es uno de los más musculosos del grupo. En parte tiene que ver con la veneración de John Lennon por Chuck Berry y su entrega a las campañas en favor de la paz en las que estaba muy implicado por entonces. El tejano Delbert McClinton escogió “Come Together” para el álbum Come Together - America Salutes The Beatles de 1995, en el que participaron varios de los grandes nombres de la country music. Espléndido con la armónica, en una gira por Gran Bretaña a comienzos de los 60 con Bruce Channel, al que había acompañado en su clásico "Hey! Baby", enseñó a John Lennon algunos trucos con la armónica. Se notó mucho en “Love Me Do”. Cuando Rosanne Cash dejó el sello Columbia en 1965, la compañía publicó un recopilatorio titulado Retrospective, al que se añadió esta versión de “I’m Only Sleeping”, que John Lennon compuso para Revolver en 1966 en el reverso de una carta. Refleja a la perfección su estado de ánimo de entonces cuando no estaba de gira con los Beatles. Se pasaba el día en la cama bajo los efectos de las drogas durmiendo, escribiendo o leyendo… hasta que McCartney venía a interrumpirle para trabajar sobre las canciones. Los Beatles impulsaron el comienzo de diversas bandas del Merseybeat. Varias de sus composiciones sirvieron para que aquellos grupos empezaran a despuntar. En 1963 John Lennon entregó uno de esos temas a Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas. Era “I Call Your Name”, que él mismo había escrito antes incluso de que se formaran los Beatles en casa de su tía Mimi, con la que se crió. Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas la utilizaron como B de “Bad To Me”, otra composición del binomio Lennon/McCartney, pero no acabó de convencerlos, de tal forma que los Beatles hicieron su propia versión, apareciendo primeramente en Estados Unidos dentro del llamado Second Album y en 1964 en Gran Bretaña formando parte del EP Long Tall Sally. En 1966, The Mamas And The Papas, “la familia real de Laurel Canyon”, hicieron su debut con el álbum If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears y la dieron a conocer a nivel popular en Estados Unidos. “In My Life” se incluyó originalmente en un Lp tan imponente como Rubber Soul de los Beatles. En el texto, aunque la autoría fue compartida con McCartney, un John Lennon que acababa de cumplir 25 años recordaba con nostalgia a la gente y los lugares donde pasó una parte muy importante de sus años jóvenes. La canción tiene claras reminiscencias de “Penny Lane” y “Strawberry Fields Forever” y el músico exploraría la misma temática en los siguientes momentos de su carrera, de forma muy especial en el doble álbum del cuarteto, bien conocido como el Álbum Blanco. En 1994, Crosby, Stills & Nash editaron su álbum After The Storm coincidiendo con el 25º aniversario de su disco de debut, tras haber estado dedicados a ampliar su discografía en solitario, con dos nuevos álbumes por parte de Stills y Crosby, además de un recopilatorio de Nash. Todas las canciones de este disco que les llevó a hacer una larga gira, incluyendo el Woodstock ’94, pertenecían a los tres músicos, excepto una versión de “In My Life”. John Lennon siempre admitió las más variadas experiencias, que se fueron ampliando con el paso de los años. El rock and roll de sus comienzos dio paso a una cierta fijación por figuras como las de Elvis, los Everly Brothers o Bob Dylan y su forma de crear canciones. Si ellos podían hacerlo, Lennon también. “You've Got To Hide Your Love Away” fue una de sus primeras reflexiones sobre su manera de escribir, que había comenzado con temas como "I'm a Loser" en el verano del 64. Lennon la compuso en casa, buscando un nuevo tema para la película Help!. Jackson Browne, que al versionar a los Beatles siempre se ha inclinado por las creaciones de John Lennon, la cantó así en uno de sus homenajes. Jonathan Edwards es un veterano artista de Aitkin, Minnesota, que empezó su carrera abriendo los conciertos de B.B. King y la Allman Brothers Band, fichando por Capricorn Records y lanzando su disco de debut hace 47 años. En 2011, Jonathan Edwards publicaba su álbum My Love Will Keep incluyendo una versión de “She Loves You”, muy alejada de como conocíamos aquella canción de los Beatles que a mediados de septiembre de 1963 se editaba como single en Estados Unidos en un pequeño sello discográfico llamado Swan Records. En este caso, “She Loves You” tiene que ver con una cierta fijación de Paul McCartney con una canción de Bobby Rydell titulada “Forget Him” (“Olvídale”) y pensó en crear una dónde preguntar “¿Ella te quiere?” y que los demás contestaran “Si”. Lo comentó con Lennon y la idea quedó flotando en el ambiente. Empezaron a trastear con las guitarras en el hotel mientras estaban de gira con Roy Orbison y Gerry and the Pacemakers y terminaron aquella composición en casa de Paul al día siguiente. Jim Lauderdale también se fijó en el álbum Rubber Soul del cuarteto de Liverpool y eligió “I’m Looking Through You”, llevándose el tema hasta el sonido de Bakersfield y las influencias de Buck Owens. Producido por Phil Madeira y grabado en la Music City, Nueva York y San Francisco, el álbum Let Us In Americana contaba entre los invitados con Buddy Miller, Will Hoge, Rodney Crowell, Ketch Secor de Old Crow Medicine Show, Steve Earle y Allison Moorer.

En un corto plazo de tiempo hemos perdido a dos de los grandes representantes del llamado movimiento outlaw, aunque sus nombres no han gozado de la popularidad de otros. Hablamos de Jerry Jeff Walker y Billy Joe Shaver, a quienes hoy vamos a recordar en el tiempo de TOMA UNO. Jerry Jeff Walker es considerado uno de los más relevantes cantautores norteamericanos, siguiendo sus propias formas al margen de las modas y de sus cambios. Hasta su muerte, siempre mantuvo la frescura y las directrices de los mejores años del que podríamos llamar redneck rock. Su carrera la inició con una banda psicodélica llamada Circus Maximus, la primera que se acercó al country. Tocó por todos los bares de Estados Unidos y tuvo a su mujer, Susan, como manager y responsable de su propio sello discográfico, Tried & True Music. Fue en junio del 1968 cuando se lanzó al mercado en single una canción llamada “Mr. Bojangles”, como anticipo del álbum que Jerry Jeff Walker publicaría en octubre con ese título que contó con la producción de Tom Dowd. Es una canción inspirada en un encuentro tres años antes con un artista callejero en la cárcel del First Precinct de Nueva Orleans, donde Walker había ingresado por embriaguez. Aquel bailarín, apodado Mr. Bojangles, contó historias de su vida hasta que todo se entristeció cuando recordó el atropello de su perro. Cuando alguien pidió levantar el ánimo, aquel hombre empezó a bailar claqué. La versión que la Nitty Gritty Dirt Band realizó dos años después y que se publicó también en single consiguió alcanzar el Top 10 de las listas y llamó de la atención hacia su compositor, Un mocetón llamado en realidad Ronald Clyde Crosby y nacido en e Oneonta, del estado de Nueva York. Fue entonces cuando Jerry Jeff Walker se mudó a Austin y todo cambió. La llegada a Austin de Jerry Jeff Walker, que moría el pasado día 23, le asoció con el movimiento outlaw tejano que tenía a Willie Nelson y Michael Martin Murphey como cabezas visibles. Allí encontró el ambiente que necesitaba y una cierta consideración a nivel popular, gracias a discos como Ridin ’High y, sobre todo, un álbum memorable con el nombre de Viva Terlingua!, grabado en vivo en ese dancehall de la tejana Luckenbach. En aquel registro de 1973 encontramos “Sangria Wine”, otra de sus canciones emblemáticas, que daba cuenta de cómo aquellas primitivas tonalidades folkies propias de la escena neoyorquina habían cambiado. Aquel disco nos enseñó lo que el artista llamaba el "gonzo country", con una base campera mezclada con blues y tonalidades de la tradición del norte de México. Durante este tiempo le acompañaba Lost Gonzo Band, un grupo informal de músicos de Austin entre los que se encontraban Michael Martin Murphey, Mickey Raphael y Ray Wylie Hubbard, por el que Jerry Jeff Walker sentía un gran respeto. En aquel concierto incluyó una versión divertida versión de "Up Against The Wall Redneck Mother", una canción bien arraigada en la zona y un excelente ejemplo del fenómeno "outlaw". Veinte años después de la grabación en directo de aquel antológico ¡Viva Terlingua!, el neoyorquino se trasladó de nuevo a aquel lugar y despachó en ¡Viva Luckenbach! otro puñado de grandes canciones entre las que encontramos “I’ll Be Here In The Morning” de Townes Van Zandt, uno de sus referentes y otro de los pilares de la música tejana. “London Homesick Blues” fue la canción que cerró en 1973 aquel Viva Terlingua! siempre recordado. Lo grabó con la Lost Gonzo Band en la que militaba Gary P Nunn, un bajista y teclista de Oklahoma emigrado a Texas para convertirse en otro revolucionario de la música más enraizada de aquellas tierras. Aquella canción fue durante dos décadas el tema del mítico Austin City Limits de la televisión pública estadounidense, cuyo piloto fue grabado el 17 de Octubre de 1974 con Willie Nelson de protagonista. Hace 13 años, Cowboy Town se convirtió en el último álbum de Brooks & Dunn antes de anunciar su separación en 2009 tras una larga gira. En aquel disco encontramos “The Ballad Of Jerry Jeff Walker”, una canción que Kix Brooks y Bob DiPiero compusieron juntos para rendir homenaje al hoy desaparecido artista, al que invitaron a participar vocalmente en un tema. Las canciones de Jerry Jeff Walker dejan siempre una sensación de melancolía confortable, tanto en sus grabaciones como en sus apariciones en vivo. Son una introspección sobre las cosas sencillas que ocurren todos los días y que se encuentran en tu propia casa o en el béisbol. Son temas que, por encima de todo, tenían mucho sentido para él. Siempre pareció que era un proscrito diferente. En septiembre de 2017 supimos que tenía cáncer de garganta. A pesar de ello, al año siguiente lanzó el que fue su último álbum, It’s About Time. Hace una semana moría con 78 años debido a una fatal recaída en el cáncer que sufría. Billy Joe Shaver era más conocido por sus canciones que como cantante. Era nativo de Corsicana y creció en Waco, siempre dentro de los límites del estado de Texas. Escribió canciones desde muy pequeño, animado por su profesora de inglés y tras su paso obligado por el ejército, se marchó a Houston para relacionarse con los círculos de poetas y cantantes de folk. Por entonces conoció a Willie Nelson, cuya influencia le ayudó a convertirse en compositor. Billy Joe Shaver y Willie Nelson son dos de los personajes a los que mejor les cuadra el calificativo de outlaws. Ambos músicos tejanos han convergido en la escena musical y han tenido también desencuentros con la ley. Amigos desde hace tiempo, regresaron juntos con "Hard to Be an Outlaw", el anticipo de Long in the Tooth, editado en el verano de 2014 y convertido en el primer álbum de Billy Joe Shaver que entraba en las listas de country. Sin embargo, en "Hard to Be an Outlaw" hablaba sobre estrellas que nunca han pisado carreteras secundarias, en una mirada resuelta al estado de la country music, suficiente como para ser un renegado. Billy Joe Shaver decidió trasladarse a Nashville en busca de un reconocimiento que no tenía. La suerte no le acompañó hasta que contactó con Bobby Bare y firmó para su editora por una cantidad cercana a los 50 dólares semanales. Desde entonces han sido muchos quienes grabaron sus canciones, especialmente Waylon Jennings, que fue uno de sus grandes apoyos, llegando a grabar un nombre completo con sus composiciones. Desde entonces han sido muchos quienes han interpretado sus canciones y sería otro tejano como Kris Kristofferson quien en aquel 1973 produjera su disco de debut, Old Five And Dimers Like Me, donde encontramos una de las más dinámicas canciones de trenes: “I Been To Georgia On A Fast Train”. Kris Kristofferson dio el impulso inicial a Billy Joe Shaver produciendo su primer álbum para Monument Records, al que daba nombre “Old Five And Dimers Like Me”, demostrando que sin gozar de una voz tan perfecta como la de otros colegas, su forma de expresarse era tan conmovedora como la de ellos. Tom T. Hall, además, escribió el comentario de la contraportada. Desde el primero de sus trabajos discográficos, Billy Joe Shaver mantuvo una dignidad apabullante y una elegancia innata. Siempre poseyó un sentido de dignidad que convirtió muchos de sus discos en obras maestras de la composición y en ejemplos indispensables del outlaw country. Old Five And Dimers Like Me y Gypsy Boy han sido dos álbumes favoritos para TOMA UNO desde siempre. El primero llegó a la vez que inauguramos el programa, y el segundo, de 1977, fue una manifestación de poderío por parte Phil Walden, de Capricorn Records, que le había fichado, y del propio Billy Joe Shaver. La producción corrió a cargo de Brian Ahern, por entonces marido de Emmylou Harris, y reunieron a los mejores músicos del momento, desde la artista de Alabama, pasando por algunos de los miembros de su Hot Band, como Rodney Crowell y Ricky Skaggs; hizo coros Nicolette Larson, aparecieron Willie Nelson, James Burton, Mickey Raphael y Randy Scruggs. Para rematarlo contaron con David Briggs y Ben Keith, además de una base de ritmo formada por Karl Himmel y Norbert Putnam. En aquel disco escuchamos su propia versión de uno de sus himnos, "Honky Tonk Heroes", que Waylon había estrenado cuatro años antes. Uno de los momentos mágicos de aquel Gypsy Boy de 1977 fue “Silver Wings Of Time”, una canción acogedora que destapa la profundidad emocional de un contador de historias de su nivel, algo que parece contrastar con el aspecto rudo de Billy Joe Shaver, que no se implicó en la música hasta hasta casi los 30 años. Tiene que ver con un accidente que sufrió en un aserradero en los años 60 en el que se cortó prácticamente dos dedos y partes de otros dos de su mano derecha. Una infección tras el accidente finalmente lo empeoró aún más, de tal forma que quedó inhabilitado para realizar trabajos manuales y decidió dedicarse a la música para ganarse la vida. Otras de las canciones fundamentales de la discografía de Billy Joe Shaver es “Live Forever”, con referencias a su fe religiosa. La música era de su hijo, el guitarrista Eddy Shaver, que murió a consecuencia de una sobredosis de drogas en 2000. Se la enseñó a su padre cuando actuaban juntos con el simple nombre de Shaver y él puso la letra. La grabaron dos veces, en el álbum Tramp On Your Street de 1993 y cinco años después en Victory. En los últimos tiempos, Billy Joe Shaver se concentró en la composición e incluso pudimos verle en la película The Apostle con Robert Duvall. El actor haría casi 20 años después de aquello una interpretación a cappella de parte de aquel “Live Forever” en Crazy Heart. Además de Waylon y Willie, Bobby Bare, Jessi Colter, David Allan Coe, Guy Clark o Townes Van Zandt, también fueron pioneros de aquel movimiento outlaw que ahora se recuerda con veneración Jerry Jeff Walker y Billy Joe Shaver. Ambos han muerto con muy pocos días de diferencia y hoy han sido protagonistas de TOMA UNO. Escuchar audio

Back in the 50s and 60s you could find no more Racist state in America than Alabama. Swampland and urban squalor blacks getting hosed down and the overt fears of one race towards another was revealed. These overt acts of hostility provided character development from folks like my guest who grew up playing black clubs on the Chitlin circuit. Because of the communal/spiritual nature of music it pushed back against the epidemic of Rascism. It strove for love in this case trust with a fallen Allman Duane that is as the band decided to go with a lead piano player alongside the gun slinger Dickey Betts. This was gutbucket music mixing Appalacia/Dixie/Blues/Cajon/Swamp/funk/ down @ Capricorn Records..... This laid back boogie woodie permeated my guest as he became connected with Grandmother Earth tending farms in Georgia learning about the earth, how to heal it...bring the Sea Level Down just a little because the Fever's always there. Playing the same chromatic scales over and over again until the audience got the point tripping their faces off after a 21 min mountain jam. Or branching of to play with the Stones or Eric Clapton.

Charlie Daniels murió el pasado lunes por la mañana en el Summit Medical Center de Nashville tras sufrir un derrame cerebral. Tenía 83 años. El productor Bob Johnston, que le contrataría para CBS en Nashville, le llevó a la Music City, donde era fácil verle actuar en los más diversos clubs mientras se convirtió en músico de sesión, aunque siempre le dijeron que tocaba demasiado fuerte. Intervino en el Nashville Skyline, New Morning y Self-Portrait de Dylan, aunque nunca estuvo demasiado cerca de las composiciones ni de las posturas personales del genio de Minnesota. Por eso puede incluso extrañar la selección de algunas de las 10 canciones que en 2014 completaron un disco dedicado a versionar canciones del bardo bajo el título de Off the Grid - Doin' It Dylan. Durante una buena parte de los 60 y 70 participó en grabaciones de Marty Robbins, uno de sus favoritos, Michael Martin Murphey, Tanya Tucker, Earl Scruggs y sus amigos del sello Capricorn Records, especialmente la Marshall Tucker Band, Grinderswitch y Elvin Bishop. También estuvo con George Harrison y Ringo Starr en sus primeras grabaciones en solitario y fue miembro de la banda de acompañamiento de Leonard Cohen en sus giras. Incluso llegó a producir a Elephant Mountain y a los Youngbloods. Muy poco antes de cumplir 80 años, Charlie Daniels publicó Nighthawk (algo así como “chotacabras”), un disco acústico en homenaje a los vaqueros. Se trata de una colección de temas de cowboys que siempre quiso grabar sin ningún tipo de instrumentación eléctrica, tal y como pudieran cantarse en cualquier fogata nocturna tras una larga jornada de trabajo. Ávido lector, Charlie Daniels siempre se inclinó por los libros sobre el Oeste. De hecho, el título de este trabajo hacía referencia a la novela de Louis L’Amour de 1962. Night Hawk se convirtió en su último álbum en vida. “(Ghost) Riders In the Sky: A Cowboy Legend” es un tema que Stan Jones escribió en 1948 contando la historia de un cowboy que tiene la visión de ser perseguido por fantasmagóricos vaqueros malditos en el cielo. Uno de ellos le conmina a abandonar sus costumbres o será condenado a unirse a ellos para siempre “tratando de atrapar la manada del diablo por los cielos sin fin”. En 1970 apareció el primer trabajo en solitario, Charlie Daniels, publicado por Capitol. Fue cuando decidió formar la Charlie Daniels Band y empiezan a asentarse los cimientos del llamado Southern rock. Honey In The Rock llegó en 1973 y allí se incluyó el single "Uneasy Rider", que fue su primera aparición en las listas de country. Aquella canción es lo más parecido a un anticipo de las formas de "The Devil Went Down to Georgia". Charlie Daniels tomó el papel de un hippie de pelo largo que sufre un pinchazo y se encuentra en un bar de rednecks donde no es bienvenido. Una situación nada cómoda. Un año más tarde, apareció Fire On The Mountain, su álbum de debut para Epic, su nueva compañía. Con Dickey Betts de los Allman Brothers tocando el dobro, allí estaba "Long Haired Country Boy", toda una sorpresa para la escena de Nashville, donde se celebraba el fumar marihuana por la mañana y emborracharse por la noche. Cuando el single se reeditó en 1980, se suavizó la letra. Trabajando en aquel Fire On The Mountain, Charlie decidió grabar algunas canciones en directo en un auditorio de Nashville. Homenajeando a Tennessee, conocido como "The Volunteer State", la Charlie Daniels Band llamó al concierto "Volunteer Jam" e invitó a viejos amigos como los Allman Brothers o la Marshall Tucker Band. En las primeras ediciones del álbum Fire On The Mountain se incluyó un single con tres de aquellas grabaciones en directo. Aquel show pasó a celebrarse casi cada año y se convirtió en toda una institución. Con la presencia de los más diversos artistas. A finales de 1975 aparecía Nightrider que abría el adictivo “Texas”, una de las más fieras interpretaciones del Western swing tejano, que entendimos como un homenaje de la Charlie Daniels Band a la herencia de Bob Wills y sus Texas Playboys. Hoy estamos dedicando nuestro programa al carismático y controvertido Charlie Daniels, un mocetón nacido en Wilmington, North Carolina, que se trasladó con su familia a Georgia siendo muy pequeño. Alrededor de 1953 formó una banda de bluegrass, The Misty Mountain Boys, y empezó a escribir sus primeras canciones para, un poco más tarde, dedicarse a tocar rock'n'roll y al rhythm'n'blues con los Rockets en Washington D.C. y su área de influencia. En el 59 grabó con ellos "Jaguar", un single instrumental para Epic en Fort Worth, Texas, que les hizo cambiar el nombre precisamente al de Jaguars. Es el que estaba sonando de fondo. Pero al iniciarse los años 60, Charlie Daniels, criado en el country, un amante del del swing, del bluegrass de Benny Martin, y un notable cantante y guitarrista de rock'n'roll, descubrió el jazz, e hizo algunos intentos dentro del estilo que no fructificaron. De vuelta a sus géneros más cercanos, en 1964 compuso "It Hurts Me", que aparecería en la voz de Elvis Presley como cara B de "Kissin' Cousins". Y en el 66 volvió a grabar con los Jaguars. Fue la primera vez que escuchamos su voz en “In The Middle of the Heartache”, un tema compuesto por él y muy propio del llamado soul de los ojos azules de entonces. Fue grabado en Nueva Orleans y se editó en single en 1966. Diez años más tarde, la Charlie Daniels Band abría una etapa especialmente prolífica con grabaciones como High Lonesome, cuyo tema de apertura era “Billy The Kid”, una de sus mejores canciones y en la que contó con George McCorkle de la Marshall Tucker Band haciéndose cargo de la guitarra acústica. En aquellos momentos, sus lanzamientos como grupo fueron también acompañados de distintos volúmenes de Volunteer Jam, que se había convertido en uno de los puntos de encuentro inevitables. Siguiendo con algunos personajes legendarios, Charlie Daniels participó en un proyecto titulado The Legend of Jesse James, grabado en 1979 y publicado al año siguiente que daba continuación a White Mansions, que en 1978 documentaba la vida de los confederados durante la Guerra Civil Americana. Lo curioso es que todas las composiciones eran de Paul Kennerly, por entonces pareja de Emmylou Harris. Daniels intervino en tres cortes, dos de ellos instrumentales. Mientras en aquel proyecto Levon Helm tomaba el papel de Jesse James, Johnny Cash era su hermano Frank y Emmylou Harris su mujer Zerelda, Charlie Daniels representó a Cole Younger, el hermano mayor de los cuatro que formaron parte de la banda desde el comienzo. Bajo ese rol interpretó “Riding with Jesse James”, convertida en una de las curiosidades de su carrera. En el año en que grabó aquella colaboración, 1979, llegó “The Devil Went Down to Georgia”, una canción sobre un duelo de fiddles entre el diablo y un joven inexperto y presuntuoso. Supuso un cambio sustancial para la Charlie Daniels Band. Singles anteriores le habían hecho ganar aceptación en las emisoras de rock, pero los oyentes de country no respondían. Aunque siguieron siendo una de las bandas punteras en el movimiento del rock sureño, rompieron el mercado vaquero con la adaptación de un cuento clásico y la interpretación al fiddle de su líder. Consiguieron dos premios Grammy y el reconocimiento de todos gracias a un tema que en principio no estaba ni tan siquiera incluido en su álbum Million Mile Reflections, que tomo el título recordando que la banda había superado el millón de millas de recorrido en sus giras. Además, en 1980 participó en la película Urban Cowboy y dejó un par de temas en su banda sonora, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia" y "Falling In Love For The Night", aprovechando el éxito para seguir con su Volunteer Jam y editar un nuevo álbum, Full Moon. Aquel disco tuvo como como apertura una de sus canciones legendarias, "The Legend Of Wooley Swamp". Un tema que cuenta la historia de Lucius Clay, un viejo codicioso, más preocupado por el dinero que por los demás. Guardaba todo su dinero en viejos tarros enterrados alrededor de su jardín, que desenterraba durante las noches de verano para recontar su fortuna. Tres jóvenes, conocidos como los Cable Boys, se enteraron del asunto y decidieron ir una noche al pantano de Wooley Swamp y llevarse el dinero. Le encontraron desenterrando los tarros, le golpearon y arrojaron su cuerpo al pantano. Pero según escapaban con el dinero fueron hundiéndose en las arenas movedizas, mientras escuchaban reírse al viejo. En este recorrido por algunos de los momentos más relevantes y curiosos de la larga carrera de Charlie Daniels, no hemos ido a 1989, cuando añadió un tema a Next Of Kin, un thriller protagonizado por Patrick Swayze y Liam Neeson bajo la dirección de John Irvin. Aquella banda sonora nos permitió escuchar 10 canciones inéditas de Gregg Allman junto a Lori Yates, Rodney Crowell, Ricky Van Shelton, Ricky Skaggs, Sweethearts of the Rodeo, George Jones, Duane Eddy y nuestro protagonista de hoy, que aportó “My Sweet Baby’s Gone”. El disco se descatalogó rápidamente y se ha convertido en toda una pieza de coleccionista que hoy hemos querido recuperar. Pero 1990 apareció con mejor disposición y Simple Man estuvo a punto de alcanzar la cima de las listas de country. Era un disco casi conceptual que nos devolvió a un Charlie Daniels pletórico. Tanto, que un año más tarde anunció el regreso de Volunteer Jam. En aquel trabajo había temas tan melancólicos como “Mr. DJ”, donde un camionero pide al disc jockey que pinche una canción para un viejo que está lejos de casa, con mil millas por delante y mil millas por detrás, un dólar en el bolsillo y una mujer en la cabeza. Y aprovecha para recordar a Waylon, Willie, los Oak Ridge Boys Alabama, George Jones y Mickey Gilley, entre otros. Es una buena forma de recordar en la despedida del programa de hoy a Charlie Daniels, que moría el pasado lunes. Escuchar audio
On November 8, 2014, former employees of WNEX radio in Macon held a reunion at the Big House Museum. As part of that reunion, we recorded a panel discussion on the radio station's relationship with Capricorn Records.

Andy "Action" Markham - percussionist, vocalist, Dungeon and Dragons leader, cat lover, political enthusiast and full on art life liver takes time out to chit chat about this week's pop culture! 2 Skinnee J's (also spelled Two Skinnee J's or Too Skinnee J's) is an American hip hop band from Brooklyn, New York, whose music has been categorized as nerdcore and rap rock. The band was founded in 1991 at Columbia University (NY,NY) by Special J (vocals), Rabbi J-Slim (vocals), Joey Viturbo (guitar), Sammy B (bass guitar), DJ Casper (keyboards), and Andy Action (drums). With numerous line-up changes, the band was active through the 1990s until 2003, when they officially disbanded. The group recorded several demos, 2 EPs, and 3 studio albums; SuperMercado! on Capricorn Records, Volumizer on Volcano Records, and Sexy Karate on Dolphins vs. Unicorns. The band went through several key membership changes before its breaking up in 2003, although they briefly reunited for reunion tours in 2005, 2008, 2010 and 2012. They started to break into the mainstream in 1998 after signing with Capricorn and releasing SuperMercado!, which found airplay on modern-rock radio stations.2 Skinnee J's performed at Woodstock '99 and later criticized the event. Relations soured with Capricorn and the label delayed release of the second album on 2 Skinnee J's two-album contract, Volumizer, produced by Mickey Petralia,for two years after it was recorded. The label folded and the band's contract was bought by Volcano Records.When the album was officially released in 2002, many critics refused to review it again as they had reviewed a pre-release version years earlier. Rockworthy says the delay and its fallout, which left the band without a label, were a major problem and contributed to their decision to break up in 2003.

40 years ago, the Dixie Dregs released “Free Fall”, their debut album on Capricorn Records with band members Andy West, Allen Sloan, Steve Davidowski, Rod Morgenstein and today’s Inside MusiCast guest, guitarist Steve Morse. This incarnation of the band hasn’t been back together since the release of “Free Fall”, but from now until the end of April, the complete, original line-up is on the road for an extensive tour that will take them all across the USA. Joining us to discuss all things Dixie Dregs, along with other career highlights, including his tenures with Deep Purple and Kansas, is guitarist Steve Morse.
Billy Conway, who played drums in my parents’ band, and the rock band Morphine, took me aside one night and asked me when I was going to start writing my own songs. I thought that was a pretty good question.” So Reed got to work, and in his late teens.After a move to Colorado, Reed’s clear tenor, emotional songwriting, and undeniable charisma as a front man launched Acoustic Junction in 1989, which developed a cult following in the jam- band era of the 90s. The band released six albums, a collaboration with Graham Nash, and was signed to Capricorn Records and later Mercury Records. Reed found a new kind of success in short trips once or twice a year to Los Angeles, New York and Nashville that earned him placements on the silver screen, television, and commercials. Heput what money he could from the royalties to make three solo records: Spark (2004), Stoned Beautiful (2007), and Once an Ocean (2009) Country legend Lee Ann Womack’s September 2014 release leads with his song “Fly.”Lost in the West is a soundtrack for the invisible cinema of the mind. It features seven songs combining Reed’s powerful lyrics and vocal performance set against wide-open landscapes painted with Stratocaster and Wurlitzer. A deeply talented and accomplished cast joins Reed as producers, performers, and co-writers on this record. John also delivers a masterful performance on percussion, and Jefferson’s varied guitar work shines throughout the record. Anaïs Mitchel sings on “Rags and Bones” and “Four Lanes.” Frazey Ford appears on “Caroline” and “Steal Away.” Reed co-wrote “Caroline” with Esmé Patterson, founding member of Paper Bird, and he teamed with Gregory Alan Isakov to write “Rodeo Clown.”The choices Reed has made earned him the respect of his industry peers on one hand, and his loved-ones on the other.
Tommy is a founding member of Capricorn Records group Cowboy. While in Macon, GA through most of the 70s, Talton was a studio musician recording with artists such as Gregg Allman, The Allman Brothers Band, Bonnie Bramlett, Martin Mull, Corky Lang (West, Bruce and Lang, Mountain, Dickey Betts, Clarence Carter, country legend Kitty Wells, Alex and Livingston Taylor, Arthur Conley of Sweet Soul Music fame, and more. He toured extensively throughout the U.S. with Cowboy and with the Gregg Allman tour, from Carnegie Hall (as special guests) to Fillmore West in San Francisco and most cities in between. Talton was also the guitarist on Gregg Allman's "Laid Back" album.
