The Gwinnett County Public Library in Suwanee and the Suwanee Arts Center are working together to bring knowledge about the visual arts and art programming to Suwanee and surrounding communities with a new program called Art Ties. Officials said the goal for the collaboration is to provide art education for all ages while encouraging creativity and engagement in the visual arts. The new program begins this month with the first edition on January 17. After that, it will be held quarterly. The first programs feature two Suwanee Arts Center Photographers: Traci Dickson, who will present “The Photographer's Eye — The Wonder of Looking Closely,” for children ages 10-13; and Gary Bowlick, who will present “The Wonder of Photography: Light, Subject and Composition,” for adults interested in gaining knowledge about photography. Both one-hour programs will take place simultaneously at the Suwanee Library, located at 361 Main St., at 4 p.m. Suwanee Arts Center board member Rhonda Starling and Radha Ashok, who is branch manager of the Suwanee Public Library, are the co-creators of Art Ties. Although the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band enjoyed a great deal of success with a host of radio-friendly songs, there's little question that the group's signature creation was the 1972 album “Will the Circle be Unbroken,” which paired the band with country and bluegrass legends like Earl Scruggs, Doc Watson, Vassar Clements, Merle Travis, Mother Maybelle Carter and Roy Acuff. The three-record release was a bestseller, yielded two subsequent albums and has been lauded as a vital link between Nashville royalty and the rock music community, lifting the veil on what was to one day be regarded as the Americana music movement. String wizard John McEuen, a founding member of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, was among the key architects in the construction of “Circle” and is back on the road this winter, celebrating the group's opus with a concert full of songs and stories from the celebrated release, which is back on the charts thanks to Ken Burns' 2019 docu-series “Country Music,” an episode of which prominently featured McEuen, the Dirt Band and “Circle.” The celebrated guitarist, banjo picker and mandolinist, who in December celebrated his 77th birthday, and the Circle Band will perform at 7 p.m. on Saturday, January 14 at Eddie's Attic in Decatur. Although the album has been around for more than 50 years, McEuen said its songs have long been part of his repertoire. For more information on John McEuen and his performance on Saturday  at Eddie's Attic, visit johnmceuen.com A park in the Lawrenceville area has a new field for young people to play football, soccer and lacrosse on.

Esta vez queremos mostrar la faceta más tradicional, la más apegada a las raíces. En muchos casos, es la cara menos conocida de una mujer que ha sido capaz de hacer de su versatilidad una de sus características fundamentales. El pasado miércoles fue el cumpleaños número 74 de Linda Ronstadt. A lo largo de su carrera, ha cantado temas de todos los estilos musicales imaginables, desde country a opera y comedia musical, pasando por folk, rhythm and blues, rock'n'roll, pop o música latina. En todos los casos, su voz ha brillado tanto que se ha convertido en una de las vocalistas femeninas de mayor prestigio. No busques la perfección en una voz que no sea la de Linda Ronstadt. Trístemente, el Parkinson la ha obligado a dejar de hacerlo. Pero hoy estamos dispuestos a rescatar esa voz insuperable seleccionando algunas de sus canciones más cercanas a la tradición. La mayor parte de ellas no son las que suenan habitualmente cuando se recuerda su carrera. Así, hemos abierto el programa con esta versión inédita de marzo de 1973 a “Lighting Bar Blues”, un tema de Hoyt Axton que Commander Cody cantaron de forma extraordinaria. La mayor sorpresa está en el hecho de que Linda Ronstadt tocaba el fiddle junto al también violinista Gib Guilbeau,que hizo también los coros vocales junto a Herb Pedersen. En 1956, Wanda Jackson grabó por primera vez una canción compuesta por Dick Reynolds y Jack Rhodes, que fue un éxito en el 62 por los Springfields, la banda familiar londinense en la que militaba Dusty Springfield. Era “Silver Threads And Golden Needles”, grabada más tarde por artistas de country como Skeeter Davis, Hawkshaw Hawkins, los Everly Brothers, Rose Maddox, Jody Miller o los Pozo-Seco Singers de Don Williams. En 1969, Linda Ronstadt la incluiría de esta forma en su LP de debut en solitario, Hand Snow… Home Grown. Decimos “de esta forma”, porque cuatro años más tarde, en el 73, realizaría una nueva versión, mucho menos enraizada, en su álbum Don't Cry Now. John D. Loudermilk fue bien conocido como compositor en los 50 y 60 dejando canciones para la historia como “Break My Mind”, que George Hamilton IV cantó por primera vez en el 67 y que Linda Ronstadt llevó a su disco de debut, Hand Snow… Home Grown, dos años más tarde. Al margen de un sinfín de artistas que echaron mano en alguna ocasión del tema, los Flying Burrito Brothers, con Gram Parsons al frente, también la cantaron, aunque quedó fue de sus álbumes oficiales. De aquel binomio mítico formado por Lester Flatt y Earl Scruggs resultaba evidente que este último estaba dispuesto a ampliar sus horizontes desde la separación de la pareja en 1969. Tres años después editó I Saw The Light With Some Help From My Friends junto a sus tres hijos, Gary, Randy y Steve, y una pléyade de invitados como la Dirt Band, Tracy Nelson o Linda Ronstadt, con quien realizó una versión sublime del clásico de Merle Haggard “Silver Wings”. Tras la publicación en 1968 del tercer disco de los Stone Poneys, Kenny Edwards dejó el grupo tras una gira y Linda Ronstadt se quedó sola con la obligación de grabar un nuevo Lp para el Capitol. Así, al año siguiente vió la luz Hand Sown… Home Grown, un trabajo de muy escasa repercusión. Pero las cosas parecieron cambiar con su siguiente trabajo. Linda consiguió la nominación para el Grammy con "Long Long Time", incluida en el álbum Silk Purse de 1970. Pero hoy hemos preferido escuchar la versión en directo que realizó en el Troubadour de Los Angeles por aquellas fechas. Su compositor, Gary White, es un tejano al que conocimos como bajista de Circus Maximus, una banda de Austin de la segunda mitad de los 60, en la que militaba Jerry Jeff Walker. Cuando Linda Ronstadt se lanzó a la aventura en solitario, comenzó a reclutar músicos del Troubadour para formar su propia banda de acompañamiento. Instrumentistas como Bernie Leadon, Glenn Frey, Don Henley y Randy Meisner pasaron a ser sus nuevos compañeros, de tal forma que a su alrededor se estaban gestando los Eagles. En Silk Purse había una versión de “He Darked the Sun”, una canción de Gene Clark y Bernie Leadon en el álbum The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark de dos años antes. Pero Linda realizó una llamada Nashville version, con un sonido más propio de la versión original que hoy hemos querido recuperar. Ha pasado medio siglo desde la publicación de Silk Purse, en 1970, su segundo disco en solitario. Su apertura era esta versión de “Lovesick Blues”, un tema aparecido en los años 20 en un musical al que Hank Williams puso en el mapa sonoro cuando empezó a actuar en el Louisiana Hayride y lo llevó al primer lugar de las listas en el 49. Grabado en los Cinderella Studios de Nashville, fue la única vez en su carrera que la artista de Arizona se acercó a la Music City para grabar sus canciones. En aquella ocasión, Linda contó con músicos de la altura de Bernie Leadon, Weldon Myrick, Buddy Spicher, Troy Seals o Kenny Buttrey. El legendario Troubadour de Los Angeles fue la cuna de un buen número de artistas convertidos en referentes de la música popular con el paso del tiempo. Aquel local de West Hollywood del que James Taylor decía que era “como un cenicero puesto boca abajo”, vio nacer al artista de Boston, además de a Buffalo Springfield, los Byrds, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Linda Ronstadt o los Eagles, cuyos primitivos miembros estaban en la banda de acompañamiento de Linda Ronstadt. Con ellos editó su tercer álbum, de título homónimo en 1972, con un claro sonido country‑rock grabado entre California y Alabama con la producción de John Boylan. Como muestra de su versatilidad, Linda se acercó al honky tonk con una versión de “Crazy Arms”, el primer No.1 de Ray Price en 1956. La producción de John Boylan permitió también que otros músicos como Herb Pedersen, Gib Guilbeau, Sneaky Pete, Buddy Emmons, Jimmy Fadden de la Nitty Gritty Dirt Band o John David Souther participaran en el proyecto. Aquel disco fue, en cierta forma, la puerta para conocer también a nuevos compositores como Eric Kaz, Jackson Browne, Livingston Taylor o Eric Andersen, pero también recurrió a mitos de la categoría de Woody Guthrie, Harland Howard, Hank Cochran o Johnny Cash. Del Hombre de Negro, que llevó a la vocalista a su programa de televisión en sus comienzos, eligió “I Still Miss Someone”, una pieza de finales de los 50 que había compuesto con su sobrino, Roy Cash, Jr. y que conocimos cuando grabó en la prisión de Folsom. Una de las vocalistas favoritas de Linda Ronstadt es Patsy Cline, cuya primera grabación en el sello Decca, "I Fall To Pieces", pasaría a ser el mayor de sus éxitos, consiguiendo llegar por primera vez a la cima de las listas de country poco antes de sufrir un tremendo accidente de coche cerca de su casa de Madison, un barrio de Nashville. La explosiva facilidad de Linda en sus años de Capitol Records para interpretar clásicos como este sorprendió a muchos. En su tercer disco en solitario, con su nombre en el título y editado en 1972, dejó constancia de su respeto por la tradición y de su sensibilidad extrema. Linda Ronstadt comenzó a trabajar con John Boylan en un nuevo disco para el sello Asylum Records, al que se unió John David Souther, con el que mantenía una estrecha relación, antes de encontrar a Peter Asher -antiguo miembro de Peter & Gordon- en el Bitter End de New York. El álbum Don't Cry Now salió al mercado en 1973 tras un año de sesiones, 150.000 dólares invertidos y tres productores. Aquel disco era fantástico, pero nosotros hoy estamos centrados en canciones más tradicionales. Linda había fichado por Asylum, pero debía un álbum a Capitol por contrato. Ese disco que se tituló Heart Like A Wheel y fue publicado en el 74, mezclando antiguas canciones con nuevos temas, incorporando country, rock y rhythm and blues. De todos es recordada su versión al clásico de Hank Williams "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still In Love With You)", donde Emmylou Harris hacía las armonías vocales, la llevó al segundo lugar de las de country y a conseguir un Grammy. Pero esta versión de “Honky Tonk Blues”, también de Hank Williams, que contaba la historia de un joven granjero que deja la granja familiar para irse a la ciudad, fue grabada en octubre de 1974 de nuevo junto a Emmylou y quedó inédita durante 25 años. Es muy posible que Linda Ronstadt y Patsy Cline sean las dos vocalistas más sobresalientes de la historia de la música, con una versatilidad incomparable. Patsy sufrió un tremendo accidente de coche cerca de su casa de Madison, un barrio de Nashville, se fracturó la cadera y tuvo importantes heridas en la cabeza al salir despedida por el parabrisas. Fue hospitalizada durante varios meses y, apoyada aún en sus muletas, grabó una composición de Willie Nelson llamada "Crazy", que pasaría a ser su canción más vendida. Linda Ronstadt la recordó de esta forma en Hasten Down The Wind, un trabajo de 1976 que llegó tras publicar Prisoner In Disguise Ronstadt un año antes y donde eligió canciones de amigos y compositores cercanos. No olvidemos que la madre de Linda era alemana y, sobre todo que su padre era mejicano. Este último, Gilbert, cantaba con ella y sus otros dos hijos canciones de su tierra natal en los pocos ratos de ocio que les permitía la ferretería que regentaban. Nuestra invitada de hoy nunca olvidó aquellas raíces, no solo en los distintos álbumes dedicados íntegramente a canciones hispanas, sino a lo largo de toda su carrera. Como ejemplo, hemos escogido “Lo siento mi vida”, un tema propio, creado junto a su compañero en los Stone Poneys, Kenny Edwards, y a su padre Gilbert, para el álbum Hasten Down The Wind de 1976. En 1977, Linda Ronstadt publicaba su octavo álbum de estudio, Simple Dreams, convertido en una de las más altas cotas de su carrera y vendiendo más de tres millones de copias. Es el último de los discos en los que nos vamos a detener hoy para celebrar el cumpleaños número 74 de su protagonista. Aquel registro, además, fue el encargado de desplazar del No.1 de las listas de pop al mítico Rumours de Fleetwood Mac… y a Elvis Presley de la cabecera de las de country. Producido por Peter Asher, la fórmula fue sencilla: recoger algunas de las grandes canciones interpretadas por una de las voces más distinguida, arropada por los músicos más relevantes del momento, incluidos los Eagles. Para conmemorar los 40 años desde su lanzamiento, se reeditó el disco original con tres temas de bonificación grabados en directo en un concierto especial realizado por la cadena HBO en 1980. Entre ellas estaba "Blue Bayou", un tema de Roy Orbison que la vocalista de Arizona cantó en directo en inglés y castellano. Escuchar audio

Talkin' with Woodward, OK, Panhandle Dirt Band. Okie magic, songwriting stuff, fightin songs, dirt songs, etc. Live Acoustic songs in order: Slow Down Free Gypsy

About This Episode With a refreshed lineup and newfound energy, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band remains one of the most accomplished bands in American roots music. Following an extended 50th anniversary tour, the ensemble grew to a six-piece in 2018 for the first time since their early jug band days. The group now includes Jeff Hanna (acoustic guitar, electric guitar), Jimmie Fadden (drums, harmonica), Bob Carpenter (keyboards), Jim Photoglo (bass, acoustic guitar), Ross Holmes (fiddle, mandolin), and Jaime Hanna (electric and acoustic guitar). All six members also sing, and when their voices merge, the harmonies add a powerful new component for the legendary band. And with the father-son pairing of Jeff and Jaime Hanna, the band carries on a country music tradition of blood harmony. Jeff Hanna says, "It's like when you throw a couple of puppies into a pen with a bunch of old dogs. All of a sudden, the old dogs start playing, you know? That's kind of what's happened with us. The basic vibe is so up and positive, and the music– we're hearing surprises from Jaime and Ross all night. And they're encouraging us in the same way to take more chances. It's opened a lot of doors for us, musically, and the morale is really great. That's important for a band that's been out there for over 53 years." The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band played their first gig in 1966 in Southern California as a jug band and by 1969 had become a cornerstone of the burgeoning country-rock community. Their career breakthrough came in 1970 with the release of the record Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy and the single "Mr. Bojangles," a folksy Top 10 pop hit that remains a staple of their live show. During a tour stop in Nashville around that time, Earl Scruggs and his family came backstage to say hello. That introduction led to a friendship and some of the connections the band needed to record Will the Circle Be Unbroken. That three-disc album brought Nitty Gritty Dirt Band together with a number of country, folk, and bluegrass legends. Heroes like Roy Acuff, Mother Maybelle Carter, Jimmy Martin, Merle Travis, and Doc Watson joined the scruffy, young band to record country music standards such as "I Saw the Light" and "Keep on the Sunnyside." The acclaimed project is considered a landmark recording in American music. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band earned a pop resurgence in 1980 with "An American Dream" and "Make a Little Magic." Those singles also found traction on the country chart, setting the stage for a major run at country radio. The band secured 16 Top 10 country hits between 1983 and 1990, including three No. 1 singles: "Long Hard Road (The Sharecropper's Dream)," "Modern Day Romance," and "Fishin' in the Dark." Bernie Leadon, a founding member of The Eagles, played in the band from 1986 to 1988 filling a vacancy by longtime member John McEuen. With so much material to work with, the band is making it a point to shuffle the set lists more often, meaning that this isn't the same Dirt Band show from years past. "We're fortunate that we've got a deep songbook. That's been on our list, to resurrect some of the tunes we haven't done in a while, in addition to some new stuff," Hanna says. At the peak of their country career, the band toured Europe with Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, who hinted that they'd love to appear on a sequel to Will the Circle Be Unbroken, if the band ever decided to make one. That gesture convinced the band to get back in the studio to record another all-star album. Circle Volume II featured Johnny and June, as well as Rosanne Cash, Emmylou Harris, Levon Helm, John Hiatt, Bruce Hornsby, John Denver, Ricky Skaggs, New Grass Revival, and many other marquee names – not to mention encore performances by Roy Acuff, Jimmy Martin, and Earl Scruggs. Released in 1989, the album won three Grammys and a CMA Award for Album of the Year. As the country music landscape shifted toward a youth market, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band kept on touring and recording. They played on two projects by The Chieftains, cut a song with Karla Bonoff for an album dedicated to the 1996 Olympics, and contributed "Maybe Baby" to a Buddy Holly tribute, Not Fade Away. Another collaborative album, Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Volume III, arrived in 2003. Soon after, the band earned an additional Grammy for "Earl's Breakdown," which they recorded with Earl Scruggs, Randy Scruggs, Vassar Clements and Jerry Douglas. Meanwhile, both "Mr. Bojangles" and Will the Circle Be Unbroken were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band took a moment to acknowledge their incredible history by filming a 50th anniversary concert event at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Guests for that Circlin' Back special included early Dirt Band member Jackson Browne, Sam Bush, Rodney Crowell, Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, John Prine, Jerry Douglas, Byron House, Jerry Jeff Walker, and longtime Dirt Band member Jimmy Ibbotson. The concert aired as a nation-wide PBS Pledge special in 2016 and won a regional Emmy for Special Event Coverage. Today, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band consists of Jeff Hanna, Jimmie Fadden, Bob Carpenter, for years known as "the new guy," and Jim Photoglo, a friend of the band whose credits include cowriting "Fishin' in the Dark", as well as touring and recording with Carole King, Dan Fogelberg, and Vince Gill. Newest members Jaime Hanna and Ross Holmes also bring years of experience to the band. Hanna toured and recorded with The Mavericks and Gary Allan, while Holmes toured and recorded with Mumford & Sons and Bruce Hornsby. "The energy these days is so up -- and our fans have responded in a really great way," Hanna says. "As a fan of other bands, I know how complicated it can be when members come and go. You can either embrace that or you don't. Our fans are really gracious and I appreciate that. It's been a really good run and there's a lot of daylight ahead of us."

About This Episode With a refreshed lineup and newfound energy, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band remains one of the most accomplished bands in American roots music. Following an extended 50th anniversary tour, the ensemble grew to a six-piece in 2018 for the first time since their early jug band days. The group now includes Jeff Hanna (acoustic guitar, electric guitar), Jimmie Fadden (drums, harmonica), Bob Carpenter (keyboards), Jim Photoglo (bass, acoustic guitar), Ross Holmes (fiddle, mandolin), and Jaime Hanna (electric and acoustic guitar). All six members also sing, and when their voices merge, the harmonies add a powerful new component for the legendary band. And with the father-son pairing of Jeff and Jaime Hanna, the band carries on a country music tradition of blood harmony. Jeff Hanna says, "It's like when you throw a couple of puppies into a pen with a bunch of old dogs. All of a sudden, the old dogs start playing, you know? That's kind of what's happened with us. The basic vibe is so up and positive, and the music– we're hearing surprises from Jaime and Ross all night. And they're encouraging us in the same way to take more chances. It's opened a lot of doors for us, musically, and the morale is really great. That's important for a band that's been out there for over 53 years." The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band played their first gig in 1966 in Southern California as a jug band and by 1969 had become a cornerstone of the burgeoning country-rock community. Their career breakthrough came in 1970 with the release of the record Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy and the single "Mr. Bojangles," a folksy Top 10 pop hit that remains a staple of their live show. During a tour stop in Nashville around that time, Earl Scruggs and his family came backstage to say hello. That introduction led to a friendship and some of the connections the band needed to record Will the Circle Be Unbroken. That three-disc album brought Nitty Gritty Dirt Band together with a number of country, folk, and bluegrass legends. Heroes like Roy Acuff, Mother Maybelle Carter, Jimmy Martin, Merle Travis, and Doc Watson joined the scruffy, young band to record country music standards such as "I Saw the Light" and "Keep on the Sunnyside." The acclaimed project is considered a landmark recording in American music. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band earned a pop resurgence in 1980 with "An American Dream" and "Make a Little Magic." Those singles also found traction on the country chart, setting the stage for a major run at country radio. The band secured 16 Top 10 country hits between 1983 and 1990, including three No. 1 singles: "Long Hard Road (The Sharecropper's Dream)," "Modern Day Romance," and "Fishin' in the Dark." Bernie Leadon, a founding member of The Eagles, played in the band from 1986 to 1988 filling a vacancy by longtime member John McEuen. With so much material to work with, the band is making it a point to shuffle the set lists more often, meaning that this isn't the same Dirt Band show from years past. "We're fortunate that we've got a deep songbook. That's been on our list, to resurrect some of the tunes we haven't done in a while, in addition to some new stuff," Hanna says. At the peak of their country career, the band toured Europe with Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, who hinted that they'd love to appear on a sequel to Will the Circle Be Unbroken, if the band ever decided to make one.

EPISODE DETAILS: PART ONE Scott turns the microphone around to ask Paul about the four songs he co-wrote on the album that just debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 album charts behind Paul McCartney and Eminem. PART TWO - 6:58 mark Scott and Paul call up Jeff Hanna to get the inside scoop on the early days of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band when Jackson Browne was playing kazoo; how Jeff first got into writing songs during the era when he was playing in Linda Ronstadt's backup band; why he didn't want his record label to release "Mr. Bojangles" as a single; how "yacht rock" made its way into the Dirt Band; the time Steve Goodman kicked his butt in racquetball with a chemo pump in his arm; how one of their singles flopped but became a hit record 5 years later when they released the exact same record again; the reason he and his wife, Nashville Songwriter's Hall of Famer Matraca Berg, set co-writing aside; and how it's possible that Jeff never met one of his "Bless the Broken Road" co-writers until they showed up at the Grammy awards together. ABOUT JEFF HANNA Jeff Hanna is a founding member of the pioneering country-rock and American roots music institution, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. As a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist with the group, Jeff has found success with songs such as “Buy For Me the Rain,” “Mr. Bojangles,” “House at Pooh Corner,” “An American Dream,” and the #1 country singles “Long Hard Road,” “Modern Day Romance,” and “Fishin’ in the Dark.”    As a songwriter, Jeff has written or co-written many of the Dirt Band favorites, including “Bayou Jubilee,” “Make a Little Magic,” “Fire in the Sky,” “Face on the Cutting Room Floor,” “Partners, Brothers, and Friends,” “Baby’s Got a Hold on Me,” “I’ve Been Lookin’,” and “Down That Road Tonight.” Hanna has found songwriting success outside the band with songs such as “High on Love,” which was a Top 20 country hit for Patty Loveless and “Bless the Broken Road,” which Rascal Flatts took to the top of the country chart in 2005. The latter earned Jeff a Grammy nomination for Song of the Year and a Grammy win for Best Country Song. The CMA Album of the Year honoree and four-time Grammy winner saw his band’s legendary Will the Circle Be Unbroken album inducted into the Library of Congress’s National Recording Archive and the Grammy Hall of Fame. He continues to tour with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and has been a consistent presence in the group for more than 50 years.

This week, two conversations with country music families at their heart. First, up a feature interview with Nitty Gritty Dirt Band co-founder Jeff Hanna and his wife, songwriter Matraca Berg. Matraca's mother wrote songs and had other family in the business. She's had a commanding career with numerous hits including the CMA song of the year 1997, “Strawberry Wine.” Berg is also a deeply respected recording artist who makes albums as exceptional as they are rare. Hanna migrated to Music City from California, but he's got this family tradition thing down, evidence his son Jamie joining the newest iteration of the Dirt Band, which is touring with a new lineup after a profound shakeup. There's a lot of news in our talk about the reconfiguration of that important group.   Later in the hour, Glen Campbell's daughter Ashley Campbell steps out on her own with a debut solo album. She's been recognized for her talents as a singer, songwriter and banjo player, but she's been through one of the ultimate family challenges. The Lonely One balances roots, country and pop.
