Send us a textScott Johnson primarily lives in Boulder with his wife and two kids, but the family also owns a house in New Orleans, located on North Rampart Street. Over a decade ago, he played a gig and mentioned that he would have loved to learn how to play the sousaphone, as at the time he played upright and electric bass. A trumpet player and friend playing the gig with him said that he would help Johnson learn the ropes. This motivated Johnson to teach himself the instrument, and feeling comfortable playing New Orleans jazz, he gathered friends of his to form a band to play that jazz: the Rampart Street Stompers, a name that tributes his house.The band focuses on traditional New Orleans jazz from the 1920s and '30s, from Louis Armstrong to Louis Prima, and the lineup has changed slightly over the years to home in on that particular sound. The current lineup consists of Johnson as band leader, sousaphone player, and vocalist; Fred Renken on trumpet; Fred Rollenhagen on trombone; Michael Bocim on clarinet; Al Scholl on banjo and guitar; Steve Balgooyen on drums; and Corinne Johnson, Scott's daughter, as a vocalist. Other members have included Josh Schnabel on banjo and ukulele, Ellie Brown on vocals, and Justin Peterson on trumpet. Johnson calls the band a middle ground between Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Tuba Skinny, the latter of whom Johnson credits with inspiring the band in the first place.Also, stay tuned to hear responses from Al Jardine of The Beach Boys to questions about that band's time at Caribou Ranch in Nederland!

Loved talking to Bill Pie about his recent trip to New Orleans Jazz Fest, and getting backstage at Stones concert. we also talk about His time at Fleetwoods, working with Stephen Stills, working at Longhi's  and his time at Caribou Ranch     

I'm filled to the brim with love, compassion, and inspiration. I so enjoyed every moment in Lydia Cornell's most excellent company. A strong, talented, generous, capable woman, who knows who she is, where she's been, and where she wants to be, allowing for godshots that may alter her future at any turn, AFI Best Actress nominee and People's Choice Award winner Lydia, best known for her starring role in Too Close for Comfort, is all that and a standup comedienne, writer, director, public speaker, and activist. We went back to Lydia's early days in El Paso Texas, her Russian father, and challenging mother… the haircut, the Barbies, the boys, oh my! Moving to Scarsdale, starring in High School plays, college in Boulder., Colorado, and Hollywood by way of the music biz, Caribou Ranch…. some great stories there… Billy Joel, Joni Mitchell, Dennis Wilson, Henry Diltz, dating Paul Stanley and Donnie Most, and how her naive approach to breaking into the biz, worked! On her third audition, she landed a starring role on a hit TV show and garnered the fame she sought. Loads of TV shows and films followed, including co-starring with James Earl Jones right after shooting that first pilot. We talked about drinking, drugging, dieting, and the trouble they brought… getting sober, surrender, releasing resentments, recovery, and the innumerable gifts they continue to bring. Lydia's won acting, directing, and writing awards, as well as the Southern California Motion Picture Council's Golden Halo Lifetime Achievement Award, and the first Elizabeth Montgomery Humanitarian Award. It's the service she does every day as a woman in recovery that perhaps makes the greatest impact. A screenplay Lydia wrote 20 years ago is finding its place now, and the book she started years ago is also readying to bloom. Lydia's loving her life, writing, and loving with Larry––acting and looking perfect seeming less and less important. I'm loving this Lydia more than ever if that's even possible.

AUDIO LIBRARY - Michael Jackson at Caribou, The Mountain-Ear, Volume 7, Number 50, September 21, 1984." While the rest of the world thought Michael Jackson and his brothers had departed Denver the Sunday after his recent Mile High Stadium concerts, he brought a few of his entourage up to Caribou Ranch. "Michael originally was going to commute between a Denver Hotel and the ranch, but once he got here he liked it so much he stayed,” reported Sandy Tomes, ranch manager.

Chicago remains hit package from The Mountain-Ear archives, Volume 7, Number 47, August 31, 1984." Chicago 17 comes to the record stores and radio stations showing Chicago's consistent talent. And it is no wonder with seven of the original eight members intact. It is no secret that the golden age of their recording came through the production talents of James William Guercio, owner of Caribou Ranch. He produced their first 12 albums, all of which went platinum, the first five recorded in New York City, the latter five produced and recorded at Caribou Ranch. There were two “greatest hits” collections in there as well. The Guercio-produced albums generated a dozen hit songs, including “Saturday In The Park” and "If You Leave Me Now,” which both went to number one on the charts. "If You Leave Me Now” was recorded at Caribou.

On today's episode, Scott interviews his friend, Wayne Tarnowski. As a former senior recording engineer at CBS Records in NYC, and chief recording engineer at Caribou Ranch in Colorado, his engineering talents have graced albums by Chicago, Elton John, Weather Report, Billy Joel, The Beach Boys, Earth, Wind and Fire, REO Speedwagon, and Edgar Winter. In addition, he collaborated with legendary music producers, James William Guercio and Phil Ramone. Later, after his recording engineer career came to a close, Wayne chose to follow in his Dad's footsteps as a master instrument technician, specializing in woodwind repairs, including the restoration of vintage brass and woodwind instruments. Scott is super grateful that three generations of the Tarnowski's have worked on his woodwind instruments for the past forty years.

In this episode, Michael Amidei and Clifford Brooks interview Clark Hagan. Clark Hagan (www.clarkhaganproductions.com) is a Grammy award-winning Producer/Engineer with a world-class resume and a legendary mastery of the recording arts. After graduating from the University of Colorado at Denver, Clark began to master his craft as a recording engineer while working with the legendary Bill Porter whose credits include artists such as Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and the Everly Brothers while at RCA from 1959 to 1964. After a short stint at Allen-Martin Productions in Louisville, Kentucky, Clark moved to Nashville where his trusted relationship with Porter provided the opportunity to work with the legendary Chet Atkins. In his time with Atkins, Clark engineered the Grammy Award Winning record in 1996 for best country instrumental and was nominated again in 1997 for a record with Atkins and Tommy Emmanuel in the same category on which he also played guitar. Clark's success with Atkins paid off and subsequently led to work with some of Nashville's top artists including Ray Stevens, Alison Krauss, Bryan White, and Jeffery Steele amongst others. In the highly competitive world of Nashville Clark continued to build relationships with such producers as Scott Litt, Tony Brown, Kyle Lehning, Billy Joe Walker Jr., Bill Schnee, and James William Guercio while also getting to work out of some elite studios such as Woodland Sound Studios, Quad, Omni, and Masterfonics. Clark has worked with other such national artists as Kenny Passarelli, Marty Haggard, and Eugene Moles along with Colorado artists such as Dave Preston, Oscar Ross, Wild Angels, Nick O'Connor, and Casey James Prestwood and the Burning Angels to name a few. Clark has also been working with the Caribou Ranch estate on the “Caribou Collection” project with artists Elton John, Billy Joel, and Chicago, and is also refurbished one of the original Caribou Ranch consoles “Olive”. Whether it be mixing, tracking, or producing, from rock to country, Clark brings his rich heritage and diverse experience to every project and is always looking for artists who share the same passion. to make great sounding records. Along with doing projects out of Macy Sound Studios, Clark is also an experienced technician and is also knowledgeable and competent tech and audio consultant.

Con este programa culminamos la temporada número 47 de TOMA UNO y no sabemos si tendrá continuación a partir de septiembre. En los últimos 18 años, nunca nos habíamos tomado vacaciones en estas fechas... hasta el presente. Tendremos todo el mes de Agosto para preparar una próxima temporada a conciencia, aunque seguiremos contactados a través de las redes sociales. Nos hemos enterado de la muerte durante la pasada semana de Jamie Oldaker, socio fundador y batería de los Tractors, además de un respetado músico de sesión para artistas como Eric Clapton, Bob Seger o Leon Russell, entre otros muchos. Nativo de Tulsa, en Oklahoma, formó los Tractors junto al trístemente desaparecido Steve Ripley. Nos dejaron canciones inolvidables como "Baby Likes to Rock It" en 1994, a cuya presentación oficial asistimos aquel año en Nashville durante la celebración de la Fan Fair. Hace 15 años, el ahora desaparecido Jamie Oldaker publicó en el sello Concord el álbum Mad Dogs & Okies, donde cio todo el protagonismo a invitados tan brillantes como Clapton, J.J. Cale, Ray Benson, Vince Gill, Willie Nelson o Tony Joe White. Era un homenaje a la herencia musical de su estado natal, Oklahoma, y por lo tanto no podía faltar el legendario J.J. Cale, con su voz y su guitarra en “Daylight”, un tema propio que ejemplariza a la perfección el Tulsa Sound. Es evidente que Margo Price no deja indiferente a nadie. Así ocurrió con sus críticas directas a la administración Trump y ahora la amplitud de miras de su nuevo álbum, That's How Rumors Get Started. La artista de Aledo, en Illinois, sigue aventurandose por todos los caminos que se abren a su paso y tampoco ha dejado fuera el legado que Muscle Shoals ha dejado en la escena de la Americana. Esas influencias clásicas que van mucho más allá de Nashville se reflejan en "Prisoner of The Highway", donde habla de los músicos en gira y en el que el Southern rock y el góspel se confunden, conformando uno de los cortes más sobresalientes de un álbum que mira con cariño hacia el rock clásico. Los que se consideran más puristas ya han levantado la voz y las quejas. El susto al saber que Sturgill Simpson era el co-productor aún no se lo han quitado de encima. 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. The Dirt And The Stars supone la primera colección de nuevas canciones desde que hace cuatro años publicó The Things That We Are Made Of. En 2018 lanzó junto a Ethan Johns y en los estudios de Peter Gabriel Sometimes Just The Sky que, excepto el tema que lo dio nombre, era una celebración de sus 30 años de carrera discográfica con nuevas versiones de algunas de sus canciones más queridas. Lori McKenna, la compositora y vocalista de Stoughton, en el estado de Massachusetts, se mantiene en la senda de construir grandes canciones que profundizan en sus experiencias personales y que vienen a ser, en cierto modo, una versión femenina de lo que puedan suponer Jason Isbell o Sturgill Simpson. En el tema central de su nuevo álbum, The Balladeer, recién editado, nos encontramos con el temor de que el cantar sobre una relación feliz impida, precisamente, el reconocimiento que suele tenerse por las composiciones que describen relaciones dolorosas y desgraciadas. Parece ser casi una norma en Courtney Marie Andrews que no haya demasiado optimismo en sus propuestas, y en este séptimo registro se mantiene la tónica. Desde el delicioso vals de apertura, "Burlap String", hasta el final no hay una sola nota de más y su voz persiste en el convencimiento más absoluto. La joven cantante y compositora de Arizona que cumplió 29 años el pasado diciembre ha querido que su nuevo trabajo, Old Flowers, sea precisamente un disco de ruptura, con el riesgo que suponen que exista una cantidad ingente de discos que tratan sobre esas tensiones emocionales. La autocompasión puede resultar empalagosa y siempre estás en el difícil equilibrio de que una canción sea un terrible cliché terapéutico o que se convierta en un clásico intemporal. Hace cuatro años debutaba un cuarteto de Sheridan, en Wyoming, llamado The Two Tracks con un disco homónimo que se convirtió en el mejor álbum del año para la emisora pública de aquel estado. Aquello supuso que al año siguiente Will Kimbrough quisiera hacer su presentación como productor con Postcard Town y que ahora persista en esa labor con Cheers to Solitude, su nuevo disco, con un sonido familiar enraizado en la tradición que supone un paso significativo hacia adelante con respecto a sus propuestas previas. Se editará a mediados de agosto y fue grabado en el mítico The Butcher Shoppe de Nashville, muy pocos meses antes de que se viera obligado a cerrar para reconstruirlo. Un tema como “All Women Are Healers” es en cierto modo un himno de apoyo a las mujeres, inspirado en el título de un libro de curación natural. El protagonismo de ellas en los cambios y la conciencia de combatir ciertos los estándares sociales y prejuicios a los que las mujeres aún se enfrentan en el mundo está muy presente. Con sus raíces en Texas, Evan Ogden se inspira en los clásicos que escuchó por primera vez en los discos de su abuelo, pero su interés está en que las nuevas generaciones también receptivas a esas propuestas que como en “Thunderstorms” provoca una tormenta emocional parecida a las muchas que van apareciendo lentamente a nuestro alrededor. Volvemos a encontrarnos con reflexiones muy honestas y personales de un joven músico de Austin que descubrió muy pronto lo significativo que fue el country de los años 1940, aquel que plantó las semillas para apreciar el impacto de una música conmovedora. Omnivore sigue dando sorpresas a los coleccionistas con ediciones puntuales que recuperan tesoros inesperados e inéditos. Esta vez se trata de escarbar en los archivos del trío América y conformar Heritage II: Demos/Alternate Takes 1971-1976 como una continuación del primer volumen publicado en 2017. En esta ocasión las canciones se han centrado, excepto las dos primeras, en dos álbumes producidos por George Martin: Holiday de 1974 y Hideaway del 76. El sexto trabajo de América fue Hideaway, grabado en el Caribou Ranch de Nederland, en el estado de Colorado cuando América estaba culminando su carrera en Warner Bros. Allí encontramos "Amber Cascades", una canción de Dewey Bunnell con una letra abstracta de tonos espirituales cuyo arrope instrumental evoca el soleado sur de California bajo el sol. La mezcla alternativa que podemos escuchar por primera vez de su tercera toma enfatiza el carácter de la composición en sí misma, sin las armonías vocales ni la orquestación que escuchamos en su edición original. Hace exactamente 45 años, los Eagles alcanzaban el primer puesto de las listas con el álbum One Of These Nights. Fue el aldabonazo definitivo en aquel verano de 1975, consiguiendo con él un Grammy como mejor grupo de pop tras permanecer durante cinco semanas en la cima de las listas generales. Pero Bernie Leadon abandonaría la banda en diciembre de ese mismo año al no comulgar con la dirección musical tomada. El álbum One of These Nights nos dejó aún cierto protagonismo de Bernie Leadon, que participó en la composición de hasta tres de las nueve piezas del trabajo, incluyendo "Hollywood Waltz", un tema que pasó demasiado inadvertido y en el que compartía autoría con Don Henley, Glenn Frey y su hermano, Tom Leadon, que había sido socio fundador de Mudcrutch, la primitiva banda de Tom Petty. Tras tocar el bajo con Linda Ronstadt, se unió a Silver, un grupo de country-rock californiano. En 2007, Tom Petty volvió a contar con su tocayo en la reforma de Mudcrutch. Sin abandonar a la banda californiana, el pasado miércoles, Don Henley cumplía 73 años, desde su nacimiento en la tejana Gilmer y crecer en Linden. Militó en los Four Speeds, que pasaron a llamarse Felicity, luego estuvo en Shiloh y de ahí a los Eagles. Por primera vez en su carrera, Don Henley logró hace cinco temporadas que uno de sus álbumes en solitario alcanzara la cima de las listas. Cass County, su último trabajo, debutó en el No. 1 de las de country. El artista tejano regresó de manera decidida a los sonidos de sus comienzos con un álbum que rezuma tradición en el fondo y nl las formas. La estrecha colaboración entre Don Henley y Stan Lynch, socio fundador de los Heartbreakers de Tom Petty, fue vital en la composición de muchos de los nuevos temas, pero en canciones de la categoría de “Waiting Tables”, posiblemente la mejor de aquel trabajo, participaron también Timothy B. Schmit y Steuart Smith en la creación y contó con Jamey Johnson en los coros. “Take It Easy” de los Eagles fue la canción con la que comenzamos la primera temporada de TOMA UNO allá por 1973 y es la que hoy escuchamos para cerrar la número 47 del programa. Aunque no estaremos en antena, seguiremos en las redes sociales y nos encantaría que fuera posible vernos en los conciertos, porque la música sigue siendo cultura y apoyamos una #cultura segura. Confiamos en volver a primeros de Septiembre en la nueva temporada de Radio 3. Nos encantaría seguir cumpliendo años juntos. Escuchar audio

Je vous le réservais pour la fin d’année, oui, il faut bien un peu de Brian, non? Bon, alors c’est simple, pour cet épisode je vous propose de découvrir, une fois de plus, tout le CHARISME de Brian Wilson par des titres qui ne sont pas sortis. Tout son drame, toute son émotion, quoi... Alors oui, on en a déjà parlé (voir les liens d’anciens épisodes présents dans cet article pour approfondir), et on a même écrit dessus pour vous : Yep, un fanzine imprimé en risographie avec dedans, Brian en doré métallisé (si ça c’est pas un argument). Allez donc shopper le fanzine de La Ligue consacrée à l’histoire d'Adult/Child avec plein de photos, des anecdotes exclu et même un jeu. Bon mais revenons à notre podcast ! Brian. Le mec qui survit à tout, qui s’en prend plein la gueule, mais continuera jusqu’au bout de faire de la musique pour donner du bonheur aux gens. Voilà, ça y est je suis encore en train de me faire chialer. Bon, il y a des titres tirés de 3 grandes périodes de bootlegs et d’enregistrements géniaux rangés au placard: La période ‘70s, avec beaucoup de titres enregistrés notamment dans la seconde partie (projets Adult/Child et California Feeling). La période années 80/début ‘90s, dans la veine du premier album solo de Brian (88), sous l’influence de Landy qui refusait beaucoup de titres. La période des Andy Paley Sessions 92—97, avec de nombreux titres qui sonnent post-dépression, plein d’émotions. Voilà, en dehors de ça, on notera le titre produit par Brian, avec Jan Berry, sorti en 73. Concernant Jan Berry, du duo de pop mythique jan et Dean, écoutez donc cet épisode. Un single one shot, dans la lignée des nombreuses productions de Brian Wilson. On entend également, que je passe en extrait : « Love Is A Woman » de l’album Love You des Beach Boys, et « Live is for the Living » du projet avorté « Adult/child » (voir cet épisode de La Ligue).

Denver International Airport never planned for long security lines that now exist on the main terminal. Those came about when new security measures were put into place after 9/11. Now, as part of a $1.8 billion renovation, the airport wants to reclaim the space. But, the airlines that would help foot the bill aren't on board yet. Then, when she was just 16, Pueblo’s Alison Jervis wrote a novel and posted it online. After more than 24 million reads, it's now in print. The book is about teen suicide and Death is a main character. Plus, the rock n' roll history made at Caribou Ranch.

This week on StoryWeb: Elton John and Bernie Taupin’s album Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. When I was fifteen years old, my favorite album was Elton John’s Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. Even then, I knew it was something special, a truly unique album. Recently, I listened to the album again – for the first time in over thirty years. Wow! It still holds together. Elton John himself – among numerous other musicians, producers, and critics – believes Captain Fantastic is his best album. The ninth formal studio release album for Elton John, Captain Fantastic was the first album to debut at number one on the US Billboard 200. Rolling Stone ranks it at number 158 on its list of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.” The album was recorded at Caribou Ranch outside of Nederland, Colorado – just a hop and a skip from our home in Boulder. Taken in its totality, the album tells the powerful story of the growing relationship – both musically and personally – between Captain Fantastic (Elton John) and the Brown Dirt Cowboy (Bernie Taupin). The album follows their beginnings as a songwriting duo churning out songs in the late 1960s for a pop hits mill in London. Their managers have no thought in the least that they’re working with a lyricist and composer who have the potential to hit it big themselves. For this reason, Bernie Taupin (who wrote the lyrics to the songs) and Elton John (who wrote the music) say that they were writing with “bitter fingers” (the title of the third song on the album). Also chronicled is Elton John’s narrow escape from what would have been a disastrous marriage to Linda Woodrow, who did not see the value of his music. “Someone Saved My Life Tonight” also tells of Elton John’s failed 1969 suicide attempt in response to the engagement. This song was, of course, the big hit from the album, but I think it’s important to put it next to “We All Fall in Love Sometimes,” which appears near the end of the album. Even as a fifteen-year-old, I thought – and still think – the song tells of Elton John and Bernie Taupin’s deepening personal relationship. Elton John said in later years, “Captain Fantastic was written from start to finish in running order, as a kind of story about coming to terms with failure – or trying desperately not to be one. We lived that story." Accounts of the recording sessions indicate that the album was also recorded from start to finish, including the last two songs – “We All Fall in Love Sometimes” and “Curtains” – which were recorded in one continuous take. Music critics laud the songwriting accomplishments of Elton John and Bernie Taupin, with one calling them “the most successful writing duo since Lennon and McCartney.” Unfortunately, the two men had a falling out starting in 1977 and didn’t resume working together again full-time until 1983’s Too Low for Zero album. Even though the two men patched things up and began writing together again, they seem to have lost their mojo and have never quite gotten it back. Elton John and Bernie Taupin were at their best in the early years – from their first album, Empty Sky (an album that has never gotten nearly as much attention as it deserves), their follow-up classics, Madman Across the Water, Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road, and Don’t Shoot Me, I’m Only the Piano Player, and finally Caribou (also recorded in Colorado) and Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. Of course, in the decades since Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy came out in 1975, Elton John has gone from being a mega-hits pop star (Captain Fantastic) to being a beloved friend of Princess Diana, from marrying his long-time partner, David Furnish, to being knighted by Queen Elizabeth. Though the music he has written and recorded since the 1970s doesn’t come close to his early output, Sir Elton has come a very long way.
